DUVAL COUNTY, FLA - A 76-year-old pro-life activist from Florida has filed a lawsuit against Google, alleging the tech giant violated state law by abruptly shutting down her account without warning or allowing her to save her data.

The Daily Mail reports that Trudy Perez-Poveda, a long-time Google account holder since 2012, has taken legal action against the company in Duval County Circuit Court, seeking to reverse the ban on her account. This lawsuit is believed to be the first of its kind in Florida following a Supreme Court decision that lifted an injunction blocking the state’s deplatforming law.

The dispute began in September when Perez-Poveda, who volunteers with a group called Family For Life, emailed members about a planned Mass outside a Jacksonville abortion clinic. Within an hour, she received notification from Google that her account had been suspended without explanation. Click here to read more.

 

SAN ANTONIO - The man who fired a rifle at a San Antonio police officer early Sunday morning was in the country illegally, federal and local law enforcement sources told the News 4 I-Team.

The man hasn't been officially identified by the Bexar County Medical Examiner, but the independent sources shared his name and this photo with the I-Team.

Jorge Chacon-Gutierrez, 25, is the the man law enforcement sources say shot and critically injured an officer responding to an assault call around 3 a.m. Sunday morning. Click here to read more.

 

LANSING, Mich - On Monday, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer cited reports to the state’s student safety tip line in 2023, which show alleged criminal and threatening behaviors up 31% over 2022,

“As we see increasing reports of suicide, bullying, drugs, assault, and self-harm, we must keep investing in mental support for our kids,” Whitmer said in a statement.

Two days later, the governor signed a record $82.5 billion 2025 state budget that cuts school safety and mental health funding by more than $300 million, while keeping per-pupil funding flat for the first time since 2011.

Cheboygan Republican Rep. Cam Cavitt noted that the last time Republicans approved a budget in 2022, it included $150 million for school mental health grants, $168 million in school safety grants, $25 million to fund school resource officers, and $2 million for the School Safety and Mental Health Commission. In total, the budget passed in 2022 totaled $345 million for student safety and mental health. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - Vice President Kamala Harris’ kickstart to her presidential campaign last week immediately faced a flurry of references to her most controversial stances and statements, not the least of which was her support of the “defund the police” movement in 2020.

“Defund the police” took off as a movement in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd and the ensuing Black Lives Matter riots in cities around the country.

In June 2020, Harris praised the movement, repeatedly saying we need to “reimagine” how we get safety in our cities and rework budgets instead of spending so much on police. Click here to read more.

 

NEW YORK, NY - Google does not autocomplete searches for information about the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump, leading critics to accuse the search engine of censorship.

When a user begins typing a query into the search box, Google offers suggestions based on frequent searches. But typing in “assassination attempt on trum” leads it to suggest only “assassination attempt on truman,” referring to Harry Truman, who was president from 1945 to 1953.

“Who shot” suggests “who shot john lennon,” “who shot abraham lincoln,” “who shot ronald reagan,” and “who shot george wallace.”

“Who shot tr” completes to “who shot trayvon martin.” Click here to read more.

Six criminal illegal aliens deported last year found on Jocelyn Benson’s voter rolls

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson won’t discuss how many illegal voters remain on the state’s voter rolls, but recent reports suggest the issue may be larger than previously acknowledged.

The same day Anthony Forlini flagged nearly a dozen additional noncitizens on Michigan’s voter rolls, online researchers highlighted several criminal illegal immigrants with active voter registrations, including some with voting histories spanning multiple elections.

The claims were first reported by The Gateway Pundit. The Midwesterner reported it confirmed details using public address databases, a Department of Homeland Security database, and CheckMyVote.org, a site operated by conservative activist Phani Mantravadi, who recently won a lawsuit against Benson regarding access to portions of Michigan’s Qualified Voter File.

Pritzker board eliminates poor attendance from Illinois school ratings

Illinois plans to eliminate poor attendance from school ratings at a time when a fourth of the state’s students miss a significant chunk of the academic year.

In an overhaul the State Board of Education approved in April, “chronic absenteeism,” or missing 10% or more of the school year with or without a valid excuse, will no longer ding a school’s rating. All nine current board members were appointed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

The new system will use the term “consistent attendance,” the percentage of students present 90% or more of the school year.

That semantic switch may confuse parents about what’s really being measured, though it’s just a different way of saying the same thing. But the revised system also changes attendance from a “core indicator” in the rankings to merely an “elevating indicator.” Click here to read more.

Major Transportation Union Poured Millions Into Dem Politics, Casinos As Workers Got Sold Out, Report Finds

A major transportation union invested millions into Democratic-aligned political activity while also pouring member funds into leisure and recreational events, according to a report first obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The American Accountability Foundation report alleges SMART-TD poured money into Democratic candidates and liberal groups while spending heavily on entertainment, travel, casinos and resorts. The report also argues the spending shows union leadership is out of step with the purportedly “MAGA” blue-collar workers it represents. Click here to read more.

 

Florida Politicians Battle Professors in High-Stakes Match

Universities across the country are facing unprecedented government scrutiny of everything from the rise of antisemitism to the lack of viewpoint diversity in the left-leaning social sciences. Nowhere is the ideological battle over higher education more contentious and consequential than in Florida, home to the second-largest university system in the country.

Florida’s crusade against progressivism has been more methodical and aggressive than anywhere else. Beyond setting up a civics program focusing on Western traditions, a trend in many other Republican-dominated states, Florida has launched what critics consider a frontal assault on another tradition – academic freedom – the idea that professors are the experts who determine course content.

Trump expands TrumpRx with 600+ generics to boost drug price competition

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced Monday the expansion of TrumpRx.gov to include more than 600 generic medications, aiming to provide Americans with greater price transparency and choices for everyday prescriptions without insurance middlemen.

The move builds on the site’s February launch and integrates discounts from providers including Amazon Pharmacy, Cost Plus Drugs and GoodRx. Officials positioned it as a key step in Trump’s broader efforts to lower drug prices through competition and Most-Favored-Nation policies.

“TrumpRx.gov has already been visited more than 10 million times, and has saved American consumers over $400M already,” Trump said in the announcement. Click here to read more.

Appeals Court Puts Stake Through Heart Of New York’s Anti-2nd Amendment ‘Vampire Rule’

A federal appellate court ruled that New York’s law banning firearms carrying under a so-called “vampire rule” violated the Second Amendment.

Shortly after the Supreme Court struck down New York’s discretionary system for issuing concealed carry permits, Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation enacting numerous restrictions on carrying firearms after convening a special session of the state Legislature. A majority of the three-judge panel from the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that a provision requiring private property owners to post signs allowing concealed carry was unconstitutional.

Pa. officer who shot attempted Trump assassin named NRA’s Officer of the Year 2025

BUTLER, Pa. — A Pennsylvania police sergeant who fired at the gunman during the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt against President Donald Trump has been named the National Rifle Association’s 2025 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year, the organization stated.

Sgt. Aaron Zaliponi of the Adams Township Police Department was serving as the counter assault team leader for the Butler County Emergency Service Unit during Trump’s campaign rally at the Butler County Farm Show grounds.

According to the NRA, officers were alerted around 6:09 p.m. to a suspicious man on top of one of the agricultural buildings near the rally site. Minutes later, gunfire erupted.

Zaliponi said he heard several shots before locating the suspect lying prone on a rooftop. As the gunman continued firing, Zaliponi engaged him with a rifle shot from approximately 115 yards away. Click here to read more.

 

Billions for Medicaid Expansion Congress Never Approved

The Biden administration may have failed to convince Congress to double Medicaid spending on home healthcare in 2021, but the funding increase occurred anyway.

An RCI analysis of federal data has found that spending on the program, which pays health aides and family members to act as caregivers for elderly and disabled adults, nearly doubled between 2019 and 2024, to $46.4 billion a year – an amount nearly identical to the $50 billion per year Biden wanted. As a result, American taxpayers paid more than $217 billion for home-based care under the program during that five-year span.

Lacking congressional approval, policymakers simply moved the initiative out of Washington and down to the state Medicaid agencies. Click here to read more.
