The US’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization is calling for hate crime charges to be filed against a Texas woman accused of trying to drown a three-year-old Palestinian-American girl while saying that the child’s mother wasn’t really American.

For now, the suspect in the case has been booked on counts of attempted murder and injury to a child.

Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis have spent years hurling political and policy grenades from their blue and red state capitols — the personification of a nation riven by partisan warring.

But the California Democrat and the Florida Republican now find themselves converging on an issue that’s gained a surprising amount of bipartisan support: outright banning, or severely curtailing, children from using smartphones at schools.

That doesn’t mean the popular policy will erase the long-running grudge match.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to restrict the use of smartphones in the state’s public schools, according to an article from Politico that was published Tuesday. 

The announcement, made exclusively to Politico, comes a day after Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy argued in a New York Times op-ed that social media platforms are damaging enough to the mental health of adolescents that Congress should require the platforms to come with a warning label, similar to the ones you find on tobacco products. 

Florida’s Republican governor and California’s Democratic governor rarely find common ground, but they may have found their bipartisan commonplace: social media restrictions for children.

Govs. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Gavin Newsom (D-CA) have agreed in recent weeks that social media poses some inherent harm to children and should be restricted. The agreement likely won’t push away the pair’s feud, but it “underscores the scope of this problem,” according to California Republican Assemblyman Josh Hoover.

The proportion of Palestinian women and children being killed in the Israel-Hamas war appears to have declined sharply, an Associated Press analysis of Gaza Health Ministry data has found, a trend that both coincides with Israel’s changing battlefield tactics and contradicts the ministry’s own public statements.

Matthew Mangine and Rep. Andy Barr are tied together by unimaginable loss and one singular, horrible date: June 16, 2020.

That’s the day Mangine, a dad from northern Kentucky, lost his 16-year-old son, who collapsed at a soccer practice and later died from a cardiac event. It’s also the day Barr’s wife, Carol, collapsed on a Zoom call and later died, also from a cardiac event. She was 39.

Sparring lawmakers and made-for-TV moments in House hearings have nothing on Congress’s newest, adorable viral star: Rep. John Rose’s 6-year-old son.

The Tennessee Republican’s kindergarten graduate has won over political junkie fans and C-SPAN devotees with a tongue-filled display while his dad delivered remarks on the floor.

New York could soon become the first state to pass a law restricting social media platforms from using algorithms to promote content to minors.

New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers are nearing a legislative deal on the proposal, according to a person familiar with the matter. The bill would push platforms such as TikTok and Meta’s Instagram to rank content in chronological order by default for young users.

The rising cost of child care in New York City is driving families with young kids to pack up and leave the five boroughs, according to a new report set to be released on Monday.

The Fiscal Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank, released new data showing families with children aged 6 or younger are twice as likely to move out of the city as families without young kids. Households with young children make up 14% of the city’s population but 30% of those fleeing the five boroughs, according to the group’s findings.
