Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Leigh Finke claimed during a Thursday hearing that pornography could be “educational” for “queer” children while arguing against a law requiring age verification to access adult web sites.

The legislation HF 1434, would require age verification for sites deemed “harmful to minors,” with sites failing to do so being subject to civil action from the state attorney general and private citizens. Finke, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, claimed current sex education was not being provided for LGBT youth.

An Army veteran who was granted a presidential pardon in 2020 is now actively working to secure the release of a fellow soldier, convinced that the life sentence imposed on him is unwarranted.

Nicholas Slatten, a former Army sergeant and Blackwater contractor, was a member of Raven 23, a tactical support team assigned to protect a U.S. diplomat in Baghdad, Iraq. Following the tragic Nisour Square incident on Sept. 16, 2007, numerous false allegations by the U.S. government against Slatten and his fellow team members emerged.

With a warning that America’s First Amendment actually could be at risk because of one state’s ideological demands, a legal team at the American Center for Law and Justice is taking a fight against Massachusetts to the next level.

It is because of the state’s concerted campaign to attack pro-life Pregnancy Resource Centers, like Your Options Medical.

At least 31 universities are severing their partnerships with an organization that the Trump administration has accused of illegal racial discrimination in Ph.D. programs.

The Department of Education (ED) opened investigations into 45 universities in March 2025 over their partnership with ‘The Ph.D. Project,’ which ED said limits eligibility based on race. Now, Yale, New York University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of Michigan and more than 25 other schools have signed the Department’s resolution agreeing to cut ties with the program. The investigation into the 14 remaining universities will continue, a Thursday press release states.

A man running to replace outgoing District of Columbia Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton faces a child pornography charge in the district.

Federal grand jurors indicted Angel Rios on Feb. 5 for allegedly distributing child pornography to a user on X, court documents show. Rios began messaging a male witness on the platform in December for a conversation about politics before turning it toward sexual topics, including how the two could be an “LGBT+ community leader power couple” while secretly raping children, the Department of Justice (DOJ) alleges.

The opinion released by the Supreme Court that President Donald Trump cannot use the provisions of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs on trade that other countries have with the United States appears to have had only a “ho-hum” impact on that agenda.

Former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large Morse Tan pleaded not guilty in the Seoul Central District Court on Friday to criminal defamation charges filed by South Korean authorities.

Prosecutors allege that Tan spread false claims during a June 2025 news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, and later at a church gathering in Seoul, alleging that South Korean President Lee Jae-Myung was involved in a violent teenage crime and sent to a juvenile detention facility.

Tan has been barred from leaving South Korea since arriving in late May 2026 to observe local elections, and a Seoul judge recently rejected his request to lift the travel ban.

Tan's legal team argued that South Korean courts lack jurisdiction over statements made by a U.S. citizen on American soil, that the remarks were protected speech, and that there was no intent to defame or knowledge of false information.

"Everyone, thank you sincerely for coming here and for supporting and backing me. I know that among those who came here, some came from very distant places such as Busan and Daegu, and I am deeply grateful,"

If Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar has indeed been using a fake name during her tenure in Congress, "she must resign immediately," President Donald Trump said.

New reports reveal that the search warrant signed by a federal judge to search Omar's DC residence identifies her as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar."

Elmi is the surname of the man who people claim to be her brother that she married in 2009.

Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social:

"It was just revealed that Ilhan Omar's name is not Ilhan Omar, the one she used to get elected and sworn into Congress, but rather, it's an entirely different name, Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, and that her last name is, incredibly, also the exact name of her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, the person they said she married and had children with.

"When asked whether or not she married her brother, she said, 'Not to my knowledge.' In other words, she somehow didn't know?

"Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must IMMEDIATELY resign from Congress.

Wedgewood Polls has admitted that the vast majority of its polling data covering key midterm battleground states was entirely fabricated.

The fraudulent datasets were aggregated and reported by legacy media outlets including The New York Times.

Most of Wedgewood's fake data appears aimed at promoting Democrats over Republicans in the Nov. 3 elections, The Washington Times reported on Wednesday.

"These are suppression polls trying to support their favored Democrat candidates and trying to suppress money, volunteers and donors on GOP campaigns," veteran pollster Jim McLaughlin said. "Media should be forcing these polls they report on to disclose demographics and weighting."

The New York Times, which included 15 Wedgewood polls taken from June through October, announced on its website that it had removed Wedgewood from its midterms polling aggregate.

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr warned Wednesday that broadcast networks that air fabricated poll data jeopardize their federal licenses.

Wedgewood's widely circulated polls mostly covered U.S. Senate races, with some surprising results.

An Oct. 14 poll on the Mississippi U.S. Senate race showed the Republican incumbent, Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, leading her Democrat opponent, Scott Colom,
