Several thousand people have taken part in the annual “March for Life” event in Dublin city center. The demonstration gathered on St. Stephen’s Green before marching to Molesworth Street. The crowd heard speeches from speakers including Independent Ireland TD Ken O’Flynn, Aontú councillor Ellen Troy and Pro Life Campaign spokesperson Caroline Simons. Organizers say the focus of this year’s march is on Ireland’s abortion numbers. According to the most recent figures from the Department of Health, 10,852 abortions were carried out in Ireland in 2024. Campaigners say they are alarmed at the rising figures and want alternative “life affirming” supports...

A federal judge was adamant Monday that the Trump administration must give proper notice before renovating the East Potomac Golf Links, warning of “serious consequences” if it fails to do so. US District Judge Ana Reyes voiced concerns that the administration will follow the White House ballroom playbook and proceed with construction first and then deal with the legal fallout later. “Let’s just say, given some issues around the District recently, I would have a particular concern that we not act first and ask forgiveness later,” Reyes said during a Monday hearing, per the Washington Post. “Because that’s not going...

Vaccination gaps abroad do not remain localBoghuma K. Titanji, MD, MSc, DTM&H, PhD, is an assistant professor of medicine at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. I was born in Cameroon in the 1980s. Like millions of children in similar settings, survival into adulthood was not guaranteed.

Over the last two decades, Gavi has supported the immunization of 1.2 billion children and prevented more than 20 million deaths through its work to address the persistent...

Pervy ex-congressman Eric Swalwell sent nude photos and videos of himself masturbating through Snapchat — all while he was married — as lurid details of his alleged creepy conduct continue to spill out. Swalwell, who was once crowned the “Snapchat King of Congress,” regularly slid into women’s DMs and shared unsolicited nudes with several — exchanges that initially seemed innocent but quickly veered into explicit territory. Swalwell’s attempted sexual conquests even included a 19-year-old waitress in Los Angeles who was “stunned” to receive a LinkedIn message from the powerful Democratic lawmakers, according to CNN. Another young congressional staffer said Swalwell...

President Donald Trump gave ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl an exclusive phone interview on Monday — shortly after he accused Karl of lying about a previous phone call. “Jonathan Karl, of ABC Fake News, made a statement that I called him early in the morning, the day after the assassination attempt, to ask whether or not HE was OK,” Trump posted to X. “No, this was a hit on ME, not HIM, and I didn’t make such a call, why would I do that?” Trump wrote. “He called me, but I didn’t take his call — He just...

On what has become known as "Star Wars" Day – as in May the Fourth be with you – actor Mark Hamill who famously portrayed Luke Skywalker in the blockbuster film has teamed with Barack Obama in two videos promoting the opening of the former president's library which many have suggested looks like the Death Star from the movie franchise. In one video titled "Hear Me," Hamill is seen using the Force to communicate with Obama, with text reading: A short time from now on the South Side of Chicago … ."

MS Now host and activist Al Sharpton condemned Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday for doing an impersonation of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. Amid an ongoing redistricting battle, there has been another feud about political rhetoric and tone. Just days before an apparent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump's life, Jeffries warned DeSantis against redrawing the state’s congressional map, declaring, "We are in an era of maximum warfare. Everywhere, all the time." He has also challenged Republicans with similar rhetoric, declaring, "Our message to Florida Republicans is, ‘F around and find out.’" During a news conference amid the...

All around the world, “Star Wars” nerds are spending Monday celebrating the holiest day in the galaxy: May the Fourth. Stemming from a cheeky pun based on a bit of Jedi jargon (“May the force be with you”), the day has become an excuse to rally around the lore of what very well may be the greatest science-fiction series of all time (no disrespect to the “Star Trek” fans out there). If there’s a ground zero for the “Star Wars” universe (aside from Tatooine), it’s definitely the Bay Area. George Lucas originally moved here after graduating from film school at...

Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui slammed attorneys during a Monday afternoon court hearing over the conditions of Allen's imprisonment. Allen was placed on suicide watch when he was first jailed. 'At a minimum I should be apologizing to him. We are obligated to make sure he’s taken care of. Mr. Allen, I’m sorry that things have not been the way they are supposed to,' the judge said. Faruqui went on to compare Allen's imprisonment to defendants arrest for rioting at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. 'To me, it’s extremely disturbing that he was put in five-point restraints, a person with...

'He was hiding in plain sight.' ANebraska middle school teacher is accused of utilizing artificial intelligence to create more than a hundred child sexual abuse images — and the teacher allegedly masturbated to the disturbing child pornography while at a school, according to multiple reports. The Nebraska State Patrol said in a statement that 47-year-old Matthew Lund was arrested at his Omaha home at approximately 6:15 a.m. April 22. Lund was booked into Douglas County Corrections and charged with possession of child sexual abuse material and distribution of child sexual abuse material. A judge set Lund's bond at $1 million...

Explanation: Why are there huge, unusual masses inside the Earth? No one is sure. By noting how earthquakes rumble through our planet's interior, humanity has discovered two deep structures that appear to have unusual temperatures and/or chemical compositions. One hypothesis holds that the superplumes are sunken debris left over from the Earth-shattering collision that created Earth's Moon about 4.5 billion years ago. A competing hypothesis is that they are graveyards for old tectonic plates that slowly slid under each other over the past few billion years. No matter their origin, the superplumes are thought to affect Earth’s surface volcanism, possibly...
