Bill Donohue Transgenderism, the pernicious ideology that holds that sex is a social construction and the sexes are interchangeable, was formally rejected again by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) on November 12 at their biannual meeting in Baltimore. On the same day—this is not a coincidence—ten “progressive” religious bodies, consisting of some Protestants [...]
Bill Donohue Predictably, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani did not march in the Veterans Day Parade. His decision to visit a veteran’s residence in the Bronx, having a meal with them, is no substitute for marching in the big parade. If he decided to have lunch with gays at a community center in Brooklyn, instead [...]
Bill Donohue New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani likes to march in most of the city’s celebratory parades. Will he march in the NYC 2025 Veterans Day Parade? There is no evidence he has ever marched in this annual parade. Mamdani recently marched in the Labor Day Parade and the West Indian Day Parade. He has [...]
Bill Donohue On November 9, California Governor Gavin Newsom called out Vice President JD Vance for allowing the poor to go hungry. He invoked the Bible to make his case.

Specifically, we will report on his personnel [...]
Bill Donohue Tonight, at New York’s Plaza Hotel, Glamour magazine will hold its 2025 “Women of the Year” ceremony. But no one really cares about the celebrities being honored, and that’s because all of them are women. It’s just too mundane to matter. What sells is honoring men who falsely claim to be a woman. That [...]
Bill Donohue The short answer to this question is because Massachusetts is so liberal. To be a liberal used to mean being tolerant, especially of free speech. No more. Today it means being an authoritarian. This has been confirmed by many surveys, including ones sponsored by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE). In other [...]
Nicholas Palczewski Support for doctor-assisted suicide is losing ground. Identical studies done in 2016 and 2025 by the Lifeway Research found that in 2016, 67% of Americans agreed with it, but in 2025, only 51% of Americans agreed. Nonetheless, as this report indicates, it remains a serious problem. See our website, under special reports, for an [...]
Bill Donohue The divide between Americans who are religious and who are secular (religiously unaffiliated) is dramatic: it is evident in all aspects of the culture.
