Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, dubbed last week the "Fight for Reproductive Freedom Week of Action."
Democrats say abortion empowers women, but research shows that most women would have chosen life if they had more emotional and material support, Emily Erin Davis, vice president of communications for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, told The Daily Signal.
Sen. Roger Marshall says he will launch an investigation into Google after the search engine suppressed content related to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Google is “no longer functioning as a search engine that just assimilates” information, says Marshall, R-Kan., “but now they're using algorithms to campaign against President Trump.”
Initiating a Google search of “assassination attempt on president,” quickly reveals that Trump’s name is not within the autofill of suggested searches, although former Presidents Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan are.
Google enjoys legal protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Those protections shield Google and other platforms, such as Facebook and X, from civil liability for the content users of the platform generate. But if Google wants to act as a publisher, like a news outlet, they should not enjoy Section 230 protections, Marshall says.
The Kansas Republican is calling on Google to explain what he regards as content suppression, but says he thinks that “if we had a strong commander in chief, that they would be intervening already.”
Marshall joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the investigation into what he asserts is Google’s content suppression.
Marshall also weighs in on the plea deal reached with three terrorists behind the 9/11 attacks, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, described as the mastermind of the attacks. The deal takes the death penalty off the table for the terrorists imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in exchange for them pleading guilty to a number of charges, including the murders of nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001.
The Kansas lawmaker explains why he thinks the deal is a “slap in the face” to the men and women who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, and all who still suffer from physical injuries because of the terrorist attacks.

President Joe Biden’s administration’s rewrite of Title IX takes effect.
President Joe Biden is, for all practical purposes, a lame-duck president, and that may embolden terrorists in the Middle East, Victoria Coates says.
“Unfortunately, we're in this unprecedented situation, where it's almost not clear who the commander in chief of the United States is," says Coates, vice president of the Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation.
“We haven't heard from the president. We haven't seen the president,” says Coates, who also served as deputy national security adviser in the Trump administration, adding that Biden has had “nothing on his schedule for days now.”
“Is the vice president essentially filling this role?” Coates asked. “It's not in her constitutional powers to do so, although she may be doing it in all practical ways. But my concern is, given that unprecedented flux and confusion, that the normal Iranian decision-making will be altered, and they might do something they wouldn't have tried even two months ago.”
In the wake of an airstrike that killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran on Wednesday, Iran’s supreme leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, says revenge is Iran’s “duty.”
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps also threatened Israel, claiming that the “Zionist regime will face a harsh and painful response from the powerful and huge resistance front, especially Islamic Iran.”
The strike was carried out right after the Hamas leader attended the inauguration of Iran’s new president in Tehran, but this was not the only deadly strike in the Middle East this week.
Israel carried out a strike in Beirut on Tuesday, killing Fuad Shukr, a top Hezbollah leader. The U.S. also mounted a strike in Iraq that U.S. officials described as “self-defense.”
With growing concerns over the strikes leading to possible severe escalation in the region, Coates joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the likelihood of retaliatory strikes on Israel and the U.S.

If you live in San Francisco, a proposed program might pay you to stay sober.
Harrison Tinsley, now has full custody of his 4-year-old son, Sawyer, after a long legal battle prompted by his ex-girlfriend’s efforts to raise the boy nonbinary.
“I know he's a boy,” says Tinsley. “He wants to be a boy. He adamantly expresses that. If you say anything to the contrary, he gets very upset, and it's just insane that people, any person, would push this ideology onto a child, as opposed to just [allowing them to] be happy with who they are.”
After reaching a settlement granting Tinsley full physical custody of his son, the father said he felt like he was “watching a miracle.”
In a state like California, which recently passed a bill allowing schools to keep knowledge from parents related to the gender transition of minors, it's easy to see why Tinsley views his victory as a “miracle.”
“It definitely is a pretty wonderful feeling to fight for something so hard and to actually achieve it,” Tinsley says, adding, “I just want to help more people protect children. I want to protect more kids. I think it's the battle of our lifetime.”
Due to an “incident,” which Tinsley did not describe in any detail, Child Protective Services in San Francisco got involved and “put politics aside and did what they felt was best for the child,” the father explains.
Tinsley joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how his son is doing today and what message he would share with other parents facing similar situations.
