Some States Looking to Drop Electoral College for Popular Vote

5/3/2024
There’s a push taking place at the state level to end the current form of the electoral college system in national elections, and to replace it with a popular vote.

In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss this topic and others, and answer questions from the audience.

New Group of Dueling Electors Indicted by Biden Admin, Termed ‘Fake Electors’

5/2/2024
The Biden administration is targeting yet another group of Trump electors from 2020, in a bid to criminalize an act that until recently was widely viewed as a legal protection on the elections. During the 2020 elections, dueling electors in several states cast their electoral college votes for Donald Trump instead of Joe Biden. This was because investigations were being carried out into possible fraud in those states, and the dueling electors would allow the vice president to choose which votes to count when the final decision was made. But despite the fact that Democrats have done this historically, the Biden administration is now alleging this was a crime. In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss this topic and others, and answer questions from the audience.

Major Government Policy on the Internet Passed

4/30/2024
During the Obama administration, a controversial policy was put in place to establish government control over the Internet by classifying broadband as a utility. This was net neutrality.

The Federal Communications Commission brought it back in a 3–2 vote, restoring policies of equity over online traffic.

Why Is Australia Going After Elon Musk?

4/25/2024
Elon Musk is battling against foreign censorship amid pressure from Brazil and Australia, both of which are trying to extend their censorship laws internationally. Meanwhile, a bill that will ban TikTok unless its parent company sells it before Jan. 19, 2025, has now been enacted. President Joe Biden signed the bill on April 24 after the Senate passed it in a 70 to 18 vote. Former President Donald Trump had warned that banning TikTok could create a tech monopoly for other social networks like Facebook, and other concerns were raised that the language of the legislation could give a president the ability to go after other platforms.

20 States Want to Allow Assisted Suicide

4/18/2024
Minnesota is looking to adopt laws that would allow “assisted suicide.” There are programs where the government allows people to ask their doctors to kill them, and the killing is framed as a type of medical procedure. There are 20 U.S. states currently considering these laws, but the ideas are becoming increasingly controversial, as people look to countries like Canada to see where the laws could lead. People are being recommended assisted suicide as if it were a normal medical procedure, even when they haven’t requested it. And there is growing concern over assisted suicide being offered to people with mental disabilities, or even to children.

Biden Takes Action to Prevent Potential Trump Purge of the Deep State

4/10/2024
If Donald Trump wins the presidency this year, he’s suggesting he will fire the so-called deep state. This is possible because of a change to rules that was made to the Office of Personnel Management, and would allow a president to fire people who otherwise would be part of a permanent bureaucracy. Yet, there’s now a battle taking place over these rules. The Biden administration has since undone the Trump-era changes in a bid to protect the unelected officials. Yet, even this move can potentially be rolled back—placing the so-called deep state on unstable ground.
