36+ min ago (307+ words) Rep. Kat Cammack's (R-Fla.) App Store Freedom Act'framed as a pro-competition bill and a child-safety initiative'is neither. As colleagues and I have written, it borrows heavily from the European Union's Digital Markets Act, a sweeping regulatory regime that has slowed innovation and created privacy and security problems across the EU. The legislation would require Apple and Google to open their platforms to other developers and to accommodate them at no cost. That means granting access to core operating system functions and allowing unvetted third-party apps. These mandates would strip platform creators of the very tools they use to ensure safety, privacy, and performance. If passed, the law would give government attorneys and private companies'who have never built a digital platform'control over important platform features. And when things go wrong, it's Apple, Google, and their customers who will suffer the consequences,…...

1+ hour, 30+ min ago (210+ words) Twenty-nine Republican lawmakers have backed a bill introduced Thursday morning to end taxpayer-funded abortion travel for illegal immigrants. Critics, including the bill's backers, argue this policy flagrantly violated the Hyde Amendment, a longstanding federal law prohibiting the use of taxpayer dollars for most abortions. Under Biden, they claim, ORR became an outlet for funding travel, lodging, and related expenses to facilitate abortions for undocumented minors in federal custody. Now, with President Donald Trump back in the White House, the administration is allegedly poised to rescind the Biden-era rule outright in order to replace it with stricter guidelines that prioritize "common-sense protection of life," the press release emphasized. In effect, Harris and Miller's bill would codify these changes into law to help ensure they survive future administrations. In addition to Harris and Miller, co-sponsors of the bill include congressmen from Texas,…...

1+ hour, 42+ min ago (285+ words) In a pro-life win for children and families, Prince Albert II has rejected a proposed bill that would have legalized ending a pre-born child's life on demand up to 12 weeks while expanding existing exceptions. The decision, delivered ahead of Monaco's National Day, halts the bill because the prince holds final constitutional authority over legislation, according to the Monaco Tribune. Under the current law, updated in 2019, abortion in Monaco remains illegal in nearly all circumstances. Exceptions are cases posing a serious risk to the mother's life or health, fetal conditions deemed "incompatible with life," or pregnancies resulting from rape that have been reported accordingly. According to an exclusive interview with Monaco-Matin, reported by the Monaco Tribune, Prince Albert said "the current framework respects who we are," and strikes "a balance respectful of our fundamental identity." Had the proposed bill been enacted,…...

2+ hour, 5+ min ago (555+ words) The North Dakota Supreme Court on Friday restored a near-total ban on abortions, delivering a major victory for pro-life advocates who hailed the decision as a critical step in safeguarding unborn children across the state. In a 3-2 ruling, the high court found that the state's pro-life law banning abortions, enacted by the Legislature in 2023, remains constitutional, rejecting a lower court's earlier decision to strike down the law. The measure, Senate Bill 2150, classifies killing a baby in an abortion as a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Exceptions are permitted only to save a patient's life or protect their health, and such rare abortions must occur in hospital settings. Attorney General Drew Wrigley, a Republican, praised the outcome as an affirmation of the people's will. "The Supreme Court has upheld this important pro-life legislation, enacted…...
