Tom Pappert

The Tennessee State Senate is ready for a final vote on legislation that could see state judges removed from the bench for refusing to allow U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to enforce federal immigration law at courthouses.

Court Allows Meta Youth Addiction Lawsuit to Proceed in Massachusetts

Admin
BREAKING NEWS

The Hill   A Massachusetts high court ruled Friday that the state attorney general’s social media addiction case against Meta Platforms can move forward. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled the case can proceed as Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell’s (D) case targets Meta’s alleged conduct in designing a social media platform, rather than the content posted by third-party users. Social media platforms have largely been able to avoid litigation related to their platforms because of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects technology companies from being held legally responsible for third-party or user content.

The consumer price index (CPI) rose in March as economic shocks ripple through the economy from the war in Iran, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported Friday.

The CPI increased 0.9% for the month, pushing the annual inflation rate to 3.3%, largely due to a 10.9% spike in energy costs resulting from the war in Iran. President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. agreed to a Pakistani-mediated ceasefire on Tuesday, though it has proven to be tenuous due in part to Israel repeatedly striking targets in Lebanon.

Just the News

When Children’s Hospital Los Angeles pediatrician Johanna Olsen-Kennedy found no improvement in mental health for gender-confused youth who went on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, she hid the results of her taxpayer-funded study for several years for fear the findings would be used to limit so-called gender-affirming care.
