Texas AG Sues NY County Clerk Over Abortion Pill Case, New York Refuses To Back Down
A fiery legal showdown between Texas and New York is escalating. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a legal petition against Acting Ulster County Clerk Taylor Bruck on Monday, July 28, for blocking the Lone Star State’s efforts to collect a $100,000 penalty from a New Paltz doctor. Bruck refused to enforce a judgment against Dr. Margaret Carpenter after Paxton secured the six-figure penalty and permanent injunction against Carpenter for sending abortion-inducing drugs to a Texas resident. Carpenter, who co-founded the Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine, was sued by Paxton in December…

New Pope Blasted Trump, Vance On X Before Election — And Now He’s In The Vatican
President Trump welcomed the new pope — though Pope Leo XIV hasn’t always welcomed him. As recently as three weeks ago, Pope Leo XIV — formerly known as Chicago's Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, 69 — shared articles and news on social media critical of President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and some of the administration's hard-line stances. Tweets condemning Trump date back to 2015, when he shared a story from the Washington Post about Trump's "anti-immigrant rhetoric." In February, Prevost slammed Vance, stating that "Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others," with a …

Harris, Trump Come Out Swinging In Presidential Debate In Philadelphia
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump came out swinging at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Sept. 10 in their first and possibly only presidential debate before the Tuesday, Nov. 5 election. Harris made the first move by shaking Trump's hand on stage — in their first face-to-face encounter. Political observers noted how Harris "baited" the former president, prompting him to look increasingly angry. But Trump entered the "spin room" less than an hour after the debate, saying, "I think it was the best debate, personally, that I've ever …
