  • Disney World ‘Gay Days’ Paused for 2026, Pride Event Org Can’t Find Sponsors

    A long-running Pride Month event known as “Gay Days” at Disney World has been placed on pause for 2026, with event organizers citing a sponsorship loss and other logistics challenges. “After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to pause the GayDays Orlando event scheduled for June 2026,” Gay Days event organizers announced on Sunday. “Changes to our host hotel agreement, the loss of key sponsorship support, and broader challenges currently impacting LGBTQIA+ events nationwide made it impossible to deliver the experience our community deserves,” they added. Organizers went on to insist, in a ChatGPT-esque banality, “This is a...

    A maniac pushed a woman onto the subway tracks and punched another lady in the face in Sunset Park, Brooklyn on Saturday — and was later arrested at a nearby shelter, police and sources said. A 51-year-old was shoved and a 43-year-old was socked on the R subway line at 53rd Street and Fourth Avenue around 8:45 a.m., according to cops. A 25-year-old person of interest was taken into custody at the shelter, police sources said, noting both victims suffered facial injuries as well as pain to the legs and back.

  • Pregnant patients in Minnesota have postponed abortion appointments to avoid ICE

    19th news ^ | February 12, 2026 | Shefali Luthra
    Pregnant immigrants in Minnesota have been postponing their abortions, skipping aftercare, and delaying birth control visits and urgent cancer screening follow-ups to avoid coming in contact with federal immigration agents. Medical providers say the federal operation — which the Department of Homeland Security has called its largest-ever immigration enforcement raid — has cut off access to time-sensitive reproductive health care, delays that can result in more complicated and expensive care. Border czar Tom Homan announced Thursday that the operation — now in its third month — is coming to a close, saying that only a “small footprint” will remain in...

    Michelle Obama showed off a stack of new piercings—and revealed that it took former President Barack Obama several days to notice her sparkly new additions. “In one sitting, I got 10 piercings,” the former first lady, 62, said during a Q&A segment of her podcast, IMO, which she hosts with her older brother, Craig Robinson, 63. The news came after a listener asked, “What is one thing you’ve learned about the other from doing the podcast and working together?” “What I’ve learned,” Robinson began his answer, looking at Michelle, “is that you tried to get your ears pierced and thought...

    Operation Rescue ^ | February 13, 2026 | Troy Newman
    This special investigative report from Operation Rescue details shocking new connections between Planned Parenthood and the concealment of sexual abuse by one of America’s most notorious predators, Jeffrey Epstein. The notorious “Epstein Files” contain the mention of “abortion” over 280 times. In one of these mentions, the facts are clear and demand public scrutiny and accountability — especially in regards to Planned Parenthood. According to victim accounts documented in FBI investigative files, a young woman — just about 17 years old — discovered she was pregnant as a result of sexual abuse and grooming by Jeffrey Epstein. In urgent need...

    On Wednesday, the Palmyra Police Department arrested a woman and a juvenile following an investigation into an incident where a middle school student allegedly ingested LSD.

On Wednesday, a juvenile offender was arrested and charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child and Reckless Endangerment in the Second Degree. The juvenile was processed and released to...

    After a self-imposed political exile to Ireland following President Donald Trump’s re-election, Rosie O'Donnell quietly returned to the United States. During an interview with Chris Cuomo (snip) the 63-year-old actress revealed she recently returned to the country to visit her family. The actress moved to Ireland with her teenage daughter in January 2025, just prior to President Trump's second inauguration. "I was recently home for two weeks and I did not really tell anyone," she told Cuomo. "I just went to see my family. I wanted to see how hard it would be for me to get in and out...

    New regulations will bar cardrooms from offering blackjack and other player-dealer games — a move opponents say will devastate the industry in California. Under one of the two new rules, cardrooms cannot offer blackjack, the world’s most popular casino card game. Players would no longer “bust” by exceeding 21 points, and cardrooms may not use the name “blackjack” or include the number 21.
  • Sex workers at Nevada brothel fight for the first unionization

    AP ^ | 13 Feb 2026
    The majority of the brothel’s 74 sex workers submitted a petition to unionize with the National Labor Relations Board last week under the name United Brothel Workers, represented by the Communications Workers of America. But the women argue they are treated as employees. They have set schedules, they can’t work from home and they are required to charge a minimum of $1,000 per hour to their clients, Ellis said. Sheri’s Ranch gets 50% of what they earn.

    KOAT-TV7 ^ | February 11, 2026 | Aliyah Chavez
    Allegations of bodies buried near Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County have emerged from millions of pages of documents related to the convicted sex offender's crimes, prompting calls for an investigation from New Mexico officials. "I'm gonna keep asking questions and keep poking around until I get an answer," New Mexico's Public Lands Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard told KOAT on Tuesday. These allegations originated from an anonymous email sent in 2019 to local radio host Eddy Aragon. The email claimed to be from a former staffer at Zorro Ranch, stating, "Did you know somewhere in the hills outside...

People claiming that less than .1% are trans involved in mass shootings.

    @SenMcCormickPA Today, I spoke on the Senate Floor in support of @SenMikeLee's SAVE America Act. Every vote matters—I would know. I lost by 950 votes in 2022 and won by 15,000 out of 7M in 2024. When elections are that close, integrity isn’t optional. And these narrow races show how important it is that only legitimate votes from American citizens are counted. I urge my colleagues to help eliminate vulnerabilities and restore trust in our elections by supporting the #SAVEAmerica Act.
