Supreme Court expands religious school subsidies after Montana ruling
The court ruled 5 to 4 that tax credit funded scholarships for private schools must include religious schools if a state subsidizes secular ones. Chief Justice Roberts led the majority, with Breyer Kagan dissenting. The decision flags intensified debates on church state separation and political divides over religion in public life. The decision leaves states free to avoid subsidizing private education, but not to bar religious schools when aid is offered.

Safety as tyranny under Beijing and Hong Kong
Washington Post columnist George Will criticizes China’s new national security law in Hong Kong, comparing it to the Committee of Public Safety and Leninist Stalinist fusion, detailing four offenses, post facto definitions, and the suppression of dissent amid surveillance. The piece links Beijing’s actions to Uighur abuses, calls for strategic clarity on Taiwan, and recalls Franco-British debates and Robespierre’s era.
