“The View” is rallying its audience to take immediate public action against the FCC, which is threatening its broadcasting independence.  The network launched a widespread media campaign to defend the program’s right to choose its own on-air personalities and guests without external political interference.  This update comes shortly after the popular talk show hosted Vice President JD Vance during an episode that drew significant public scrutiny for the way it was handled.  Public comment on the FCC’s proceedings looking at The View’s “bona fide news” status closes today, but ABC is has only this morning gotten around to mustering a…

Plans also are unraveling in Social Circle, Georgia, and the El Paso suburb of Socorro, local officials said. The three cities are among 11 where the federal government spent a combined $1.074…

Rangers right-hander Jack Leiter was placed on the 15-day injured list a couple of days ago with a right ankle posterior impingement. It appears he will be out for more than 15 days. Per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, Leiter underwent arthroscopic surgery this morning to remove a loose body from that ankle.

Elective pregnancy terminations have climbed since the Supreme Court eliminated the federal right to abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on June 24, 2022, driven by a booming mail-order abortion pill industry that has made state restrictions largely unenforceable. “Are we better off today? No, we’re killing more babies today,” Bob Vander Plaats, president and CEO of The Family Leader, said on a Tuesday press call. “We’re being more…
