Admittedly, I don’t understand “influencers.” So, I went to various AI sources and this explanation seems to be as good as any: Influencers are people who have built a significant following on social media platforms and use that audience to shape opinions, trends, and purchasing decisions. Claude adds People tend to trust influencers more than traditional ads because they feel like a peer recommendation rather than a sales pitch. And the Big Shots have millions and millions of followers. The main You Tube channel for Jesse Ridgway (McJuggerNuggets) has amassed over 4.3 million subscribers and—get this—racked up more than 2.3...

Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Az) has introduced the Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act, HR 8158. Ansari called it "part of my Healthy, Equity, Rights (HER) package. It covers pregnancy terminations, menstrual pain, miscarriages, menopause symptoms, endometriosis, IUD insertions, vasectomies, fertility treatments and biopsies. My bill has 28 co-sponsors." Ansari said "pain related to periods, in particular, is something that I have dealt with for many, many years. Women's pain, whether from periods, from endometriosis, from the number of reproductive healthcare issues that exist, is severely underfunded and under-researched and therefore we don't have many solutions." Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich), a co-sponsor of...

In the first papal address to Spanish lawmakers, Pope Leo XIV urged Spain’s political class to safeguard the “inviolable dignity of the human person” and reject abortion. “Every human life must be recognized and safeguarded from conception to its natural end, in every circumstance of its existence,” the pope said in Spanish. Pope Leo’s trip to Spain, the first papal visit in 15 years, comes at a tense moment for the socialist-led government and the Catholic Church. On the historic occasion, the American-born pontiff did not shy away from one of the Catholic Church’s most controversial positions. “Every truly just...

The Podemos MEP and former Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, has lashed out at Pope Leo XIV, whom she describes as "head of a theocracy," accusing him of attacking the right to abortion during his speech this Monday in the Congress of Deputies. In a video disseminated on her social media, Montero maintains that Leo XIV should not have had such an institutional "megaphone" to speak in the Lower House and attack "democratically won" rights such as euthanasia or the voluntary interruption of pregnancy. According to the Podemos leader, questioning the right to abortion means going against more than half...

Alarmed by Trump’s public flirtation with supporting a Florida abortion-rights ballot measure, Live Action founder Lila Rose traveled to the president’s Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club in September 2024 for a private intervention. During a sit-down that lasted more than two hours, Rose tried to persuade the president to adopt a stronger pro-life position on the campaign trail. She showed Trump videos narrated by former abortion doctors explaining how procedures are performed in graphic detail, hoping to convince him not to abandon a social-conservative movement that had stood by him for three presidential campaigns. But his response unsettled her... “That...

One potential coalition, which would be healthy for both the party and the country, would be between social conservatives and antiwar voters. In the time since the election, both of these groups have been repeatedly disappointed, especially by the [Trump] administration’s war with Iran and its approval, through the FDA, of a new form of mifepristone, a dangerous abortion pill... These two disappointed factions are naturally complementary coalition partners, particularly on the pro-life issue. There is a natural connection between the defense of innocent human life at home through pro-life policies and protecting it abroad by avoiding unjust wars. There’s...

After Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) defeated Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate last month, it wasn’t surprising that Republicans launched a barrage of attacks against Democratic nominee James Talarico. What was surprising, though, and troubling, is that they attacked not Talarico’s record or past rhetoric, but his masculinity. Paxton got things rolling on election night, calling him “Tofu Talarico,” “James Tala-freako,” and “low-T Talarico.” Trump aide Stephen Miller piled on, suggesting that Talarico was transgender. Others insinuated that he was secretly gay and that his girlfriend was fictional. (This is a bold strategy, because...

The leading conservative policy institute on Wednesday unveiled “Setting the American Opportunity Agenda,” a special budget and spending report for Congress, and House Speaker Mike Johnson said he is ready to act on it. While the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” was successful, the GOP can save Americans even more money, and the foundation says its plan could be the answer. “The OBBB was a major accomplishment in 2025 and had many constructive consequences, but the...

Days after progressive group targets acting AG Todd Blanche's law license for Kilmar Abrego Garcia prosecution, conservative group targets "hyper-partisan ideologue" behind President Biden's abortion protester prosecutions. The legal establishment cheered when the California Supreme Court disbarred President Trump's former lawyer John Eastman for concocting a scheme to present alternate, pro-Trump elector slates to then-Vice President Mike Pence in the 2020 election, deeming it an ethics violation, while Eastman portrayed the proceeding as a political prosecution. A progressive watchdog launched a similar effort last week against acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging systemic ethics violations in his prosecution of an...
