The Indiana attorney general has filed suit against Aylo, the parent company of Pornhub, alleging failures in age verification and consumer deception. The office of Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita filed a lawsuit against Aylo, the parent company of Pornhub, on Dec. 3. The complaint accuses the company of violating Indiana’s age verification laws and of misleading consumers about the nature and safety of content available on its sites. The filing frames this as both a consumer protection and public safety issue. The state alleges Aylo failed to keep minors off its platforms and misrepresented how thoroughly it screens content…

President Trump blasted 21 Indiana Republican state senators after they voted down a House-approved redistricting plan, framing the defeat as a betrayal that derailed a broader GOP effort to redraw maps before the midterms and blunt Democratic strategies nationwide. In a stark political move, 21 Republican senators in the Indiana State Senate rejected a redistricting plan passed by the House, stopping a proposal designed to split Indianapolis and change the balance of congressional districts. That vote undercut a coordinated push to reshape maps ahead of the midterms and was portrayed by allies as a crucial line of defense against Democratic…

Three Americans — two soldiers and one civilian — were killed Saturday by an Islamic State terrorist in Syria, the Pentagon said, and three U.S. service members were wounded, a stark reminder that the ISIS threat remains active and American forces continue to face danger overseas. The attack in Syria that killed three Americans — two soldiers and one civilian — shocked communities and raised immediate questions about force protection and mission clarity. Officials confirmed the casualties and the wounded, and the Pentagon has opened an investigation into how a lone attacker was able to strike U.S. personnel. This incident…

The new permanent exhibition at the Auschwitz museum includes personal objects that link family memory to the site, among them animal-shaped stencils a mother made from a concentration camp shoe and gave to her son for Christmas, underscoring how intimate artifacts carry heavy histories into public display. The exhibition brings together small, deeply personal items that survived terrible conditions and later became heirlooms. Visitors encounter objects that once belonged to individuals and families, each item carrying a private story that now lives in a public place. Those stories reshape how people understand the scale of loss and the stubborn persistence…

The FDA’s new analysis on mifepristone, Makary announced, aims to be more comprehensive, calling the work ‘bigger’ and ‘more robust’ than past reviews, and that claim raises serious questions about transparency, accountability, and public safety. The timing and scope of this study invite scrutiny from anyone who cares about rigorous oversight. Republicans will want clear answers on methodology, data sources, and whether this is a scientific update or a policy shift dressed up as research. Trust in federal agencies depends on predictable, transparent processes, not surprises that change access or standards without clear justification. This study could affect millions —…

The House approved a sweeping defense authorization bill that funds roughly $900 billion in military programs, includes a pay raise for troops, and calls for an overhaul in how the Department of Defense buys equipment and manages contracts. The House moved on Wednesday to pass a major defense package that totals about $900 billion for military programs, signaling a serious commitment to rebuilding our armed services. The bill includes a pay raise for troops and a promised overhaul of how the Department of Defense buys equipment and handles contracts. Supporters pitched it as necessary to maintain readiness and deter adversaries,…

Democrats engineered the border surge, shrugging off consequences until public anger made it politically costly; the reality is deliberate policy choices, predictable chaos, and a need for accountability and clear, enforceable fixes. Democrats did what they did with the border on purpose, and their only real regret, if they’re honest, is that it was unpopular. That blunt claim isn’t rhetoric so much as a lens: look at the decisions, the enforcement pauses, and the incentives that encouraged crossings. When policy signals reward illegal entry, expect higher numbers and greater strain on communities and local services. Voters see the result and…

This article outlines a civil lawsuit that accuses certain defendants of exploiting vulnerable children, summarizes the legal claims and alleged harms, and traces the likely path forward in court and public response. The complaint paints a stark picture of conduct that, according to the plaintiffs, preyed on young people during moments of emotional vulnerability. Plaintiffs describe patterns of behavior they say led to measurable harm and seek accountability through established legal channels. The filing frames those actions as part of a broader failure to protect minors from exploitation. The lawsuit lists specific practices and outcomes that the plaintiffs claim show…

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Tuesday sued three medical associations for promoting “gender-affirming care” for minors, arguing those groups misled families and downplayed risks, and opening a fight over medical practice, parental rights, and government accountability. The complaint filed by Attorney General James Uthmeier accuses three major medical organizations of pushing an agenda that encourages irreversible treatments for children while minimizing the potential harms. On Tuesday he took that complaint to the courthouse, saying families were given an incomplete picture and that regulators must step in. The move signals a broader effort to challenge medical orthodoxy when it intersects…

The Constitution’s framers did not envision automatic birthright citizenship for the children of those who unlawfully enter the United States, and that modern interpretation has sparked legal and political debate. The modern claim that the 14th Amendment guarantees automatic citizenship to the children of people who break into the country would have been unimaginable to the men who wrote it. Those framers dealt with a very different set of problems after the Civil War, chiefly ensuring former slaves were not denied the protections and privileges of citizenship. They spoke in the language of allegiance, jurisdiction, and political membership, not open-border…
