A judge on Friday moved to halt an investigation by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) into the liberal watchdog journalism organization Media Matters, issuing a preliminary injunction in the case.
Calling Media Matters a “radical left-wing” and “anti-free speech organization,” Paxton claimed to be investigating “potential fraudulent activity” by the group under Texas’ Deceptive Trade Practices Act, in response to its reporting about X — the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

King Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary on April 9. However, a royal commentator claims the couple, who tied the knot in 2005, faced a celebration “tinged with sadness.” Here’s why.
King Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles’ anniversary falls on a sad day in royal history
Camilla Parker Bowles and King Charles’ wedding anniversary became a day engrained in royal history in 2021. It was on April 9 of that year that Charles’ father, Prince Philip, fell ill and died at the age of 99.
Therefore, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told GBNews: “April 9th is also the date of Prince Philip’s death, so it will be tinged with sadness.” Fitzwilliams believed the couple celebrated “privately,” but “they may well release a photograph.”
Per the royal family’s official Instagram, the king and queen consort did not release a celebratory photograph documenting their wedding anniversary. Instead, the king was...

Tiffany Campbell used to describe herself as a “hardcore, church-going Republican.” That changed back in 2006, when she was still running an in-home daycare in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and learned she was pregnant with twins. The prognosis was dire: one twin’s heart was pumping blood for both of them and, without intervention, neither would survive. She has a healthy 16-year-old son today because she was able to obtain an abortion. After that experience, she threw herself into politics; today she is working full-time for the campaign to restore pre-Dobbs abortion protections in South Dakota.

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday signed several bills into law that will criminalize multiple aspects of being transgender, part of a broader attack aimed at making it at best difficult — and at worst illegal — to be a trans person in Florida.
Although inaccurately framed as being bills whose purpose is to “let kids be kids,” we must closely examine these new laws to understand the full scope of DeSantis’s anti-lgbtq efforts — and the fact that he has no clear end in sight.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is obstructing an effort to enshrine reproductive rights in the state’s constitution, claiming legalizing abortion could cost the state “as much as $51 billion dollars” — a figure that is roughly equivalent to the state’s entire budget this year. The Republican made the outrageous claim in a letter to Missouri State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick, the man responsible for estimating the fiscal impact of ballot initiatives.
In Missouri, any citizen can submit a ballot proposal to the secretary of state’s office. The office is tasked...

(Warning: Slight spoilers ahead for “Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin”.)
It may be hard to picture “Pitch Perfect” antagonist Bumper Allen with anyone but Fat Amy — even if she did dump him in the third film with no regrets — but it might be a little easier in “Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin.” That’s because we’ve already watched series star Adam Devine fall in love with Sarah Hyland before. According to the duo, it was very easy for them to do on screen.
Fans got their first taste of Devine and Hyland’s chemistry back on “Modern Family,” where Hyland starred as Haley Dunphy. In Season 5, Devine joined the show for a 13-episode arc as Andy Bailey, eventually becoming Haley’s boyfriend. Sadly, it didn’t work out for them in the end. But, at least for now, there’s hope for the duo.

Two summers ago, the head of Britain’s Financial Conduct Authority, Andrew Bailey, made news when he announced that Libor – the leading benchmark for setting global interest rates – had a “sustainability” issue. The rate is supposed to measure the rate at which banks borrow from each other, but Bailey said it wasn’t based on real borrowing.
“The absence of active underlying markets raises a serious question about the sustainability of the Libor benchmarks,” he said. “If an active market does not exist, how can even the best run benchmark measure it?...
