Clare and Kylee dive into why interactive screens are particularly problematic, the dangers of screens and AI in classrooms, the myth of parental controls, and why screens are less like harmful digital sugar and more like deadly digital fentanyl.

The Gist - TJ Raphael on the Liberty Godparent Trap and the Cost of Coercion
TJ Raphael, host of the series Liberty Lost, joins Mike to investigate the "Liberty Godparent Home"—a facility on Liberty University's campus where pregnant teens were allegedly pressured into adoption under the guise of spiritual redemption—and discuss why the financial incentives of the "adoption industrial complex" often cause the promise of open adoption to fall apart. Plus, Mike breaks down President Trump's "pardoning fiesta" and does the "Cocaine Math" on whether federal prosecutors are getting high on their own sentencing statistics.

Consider This from NPR - After 50 years, is the future of special education in jeopardy?
Fifty years ago, special education in America was born.
In 1975, President Gerald Ford signed the landmark law known today as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA.
It guaranteed all children with disabilities the right to a "free appropriate public education."
Now, amid the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, there's growing concern that protections for students with disabilities are in jeopardy.

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: These Democrat Narratives Are a Lame Excuse For an Agenda
We’ve all heard the Democrat talking points ad nauseam—from the Epstein files to Obamacare, from Trump’s health and MRI to inflation, affordability, and Biden-era policies.
But what’s the strategy behind focusing so heavily on their GOP opponents instead of the bigger picture? Victor Davis Hanson says it’s “just an excuse for the lack of a serious agenda”—and Democrat voters don’t seem to mind. Hanson breaks down these Democrat narratives and what it means for 2026 and beyond on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
“Do they say, ‘Here's my alternate plan for immigration. I want one million, two million, three million illegal. I want to go back to the Biden [administration] , two million illegal aliens a year’? No, nothing. ‘Obamacare: Here's how we're going to solve it so we don't need subsidies. A, B, C.’ Nothing.”

In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons - Local Safety Net Hospitals Are Keeping Their Doors Open For Chicago’s Uninsured
Health coverage for millions of people is on the line as the federal government cannot get on the same page on a new health care plan or extending Affordable Care Act subsidies that are set to expire at the end of the year. If subsidies expire, premiums for Marketplace coverage will become much more expensive. Millions are projected to lose their coverage and providers that serve primarily uninsured, Medicaid and other vulnerable patients will bear the brunt of this change. In the Loop hears from Loretto Hospital CEO Tesa Anewishki and Sinai Chicago CEO Dr. Ngozi Ezike about how they’re continuing to provide healthcare to Chicago’s most vulnerable.
