Republican candidate for resident Donald Trump criticized Florida's current six-week limit on abortion, saying it's "too short." Republican presidential candidate Trump also went on the record Thursday with NBC News about how he plans to vote on abortion rights in November. "I think the six weeks is too short. It has to be more time. And so that's and I've told them that I want more weeks," Trump told NBC News. Pressed on how he will be voting on Amendment 4 in November, he said, “I'm voting, that I am going to be voting that we need more than six weeks.” After that interview, his campaign put out a statement saying, "President Trump has not yet said how he will vote on the ballot initiative in Florida, he simply reiterated that he believes six weeks is too short."
#9 Justice Department Watchdog Finds Failures in FBI’s Handling of Child Sex Abuse Cases - Alanna Durkin Richer and Eric Tucker for AP, Katie Daviscourt, CTV News and Simon Ateba on X
The FBI has failed to report some child sexual abuse allegations to local law enforcement or social service agencies even after changes prompted by its handling of the case against former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar, according to a Justice Department watchdog report released Thursday. In a review brought on by the FBI’s failures to promptly investigate Nassar, the inspector general found serious problems persist that run the risk of child sexual abuse allegations falling through the cracks as overworked agents juggle dozens of cases at a time. In one case, a victim was abused for 15 months after the FBI first received a tip about a registered sex offender, the report said...
#8 Bud Light Smartly Tapped Shane Gillis for Ads — The Latest Brand Doing Post-DEI Damage Control - Kirsten Fleming for The New York Post, Noah Sanborn Friedman, Outkick, and Ringothe5th on X
After a disastrous partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney that reportedly cost the brand over $1 billion in lost sales last year, Bud Light has returned to its roots. The inch toward redemption started with a 2024 Super Bowl commercial featuring Peyton Manning and Post Malone. This week, Bud Light released a new ad starring comedian Shane Gillis — and it’s a full-on embrace of the brand’s fratty, frivolous ethos that, for decades, turned its ads into pop culture touchstones. And Dilly Dilly to that. If 2023 was peak woke, 2024 will be known as the year that DEI died — with corporations finally admitting it’s all a shakedown by lefty activists. Recently, companies like Harley-Davidson, Ford, John Deere and Lowe’s have all reversed course on DEI, thanks in large part to the work of people like Robby Starbuck calling them out.

#3 RNC Questions If PA Dems Are Actively Recruiting Out-of-State Individuals to Serve as Poll Watchers - Hannah Knudsen for Breitbart, The McFiles War Room
The Republican National Committee (RNC) is questioning if Pennsylvania Democrats are actively recruiting out-of-state individuals to serve as poll watchers in the Keystone State, given that their own website — where they hope to recruit — states that poll observers “do not necessarily have to be PA voters.” The potential issue can be spotted directly on the Pennsylvania Democrats’ website. Under a section titled, “Election Day Poll Observers,” it refers to poll watchers as the “eyes and ears on the ground at polling places across the state on election day.”
#2 ‘This Is Fraud’: Ohio Investigators Looking Into Suspect Voter Registrations Tied To Left-Wing Firm - M.D. Kittle for The Federalist, and Badlands Media on X
Earlier this year, Cincinnati-area voters Cassandra and Harry Scott were puzzled to receive voter registration updates showing they had changed their address. They hadn’t. The Hamilton County Board of Elections had received two registration forms for the voters from Black Fork Strategies LLC, an Ohio-based “engagement firm that focuses on all aspects of community and electoral field work.” Elections Board staff made the requested changes in the voter rolls and, per Ohio law, sent notice to the voters at their “new address.” That’s when Cassandra and Harry Scott showed up at the BOE office...
#1 Study Shows Ketogenic Diet Shrinks Pancreatic Tumors - Tracy Beanz and Michelle Edwards for The HighWire, Valerie Ann Smith, and Nick Norwitz on X
Keto, carnivore, low-carb. These are all just “fad diets,” right? Not so fast. Scientists at UC San Francisco recently published a study in Nature that showed a high-fat ketogenic diet combined with fasting restricted the growth of pancreatic tumors in mice. The study took a look at how certain tumors use ketone bodies as an energy source and that fasting and a ketogenic diet change the way messenger RNA “feeds” those tumors. Let’s take a step back for a moment and talk at a basic level about how this all works. Disclaimer: I am a mere journalist and not a doctor or scientist. However, I adhere to the carnivore lifestyle, so I can explain this at a basic level. On a Standard American Diet (SAD), we consume highly processed grains, chemicals, seed oils, processed sugars, fats, and more. The body (at an inherent level) uses those substances for fuel. Then, it stores the rest as fat. In a ketogenic/low-carb/carnivore diet, you don’t eat many carbohydrates and sugars, and you consume more foods high in fat, which causes your body to first burn fat and then burn ketones for fuel.
