Six Standout Moments the President of the United States has Learned from Porn Bots: When Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin fought to restore the dignity of humanity

Alabama’s governor signed a bill protecting IVF clinics and the families they serve from criminal and legal prosecution, which could resume as soon as today. The state Supreme Court ruled last month that the frozen embryos were children with a constitutional right to life.

Exactly five months after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, Israel’s counteroffensive has killed more than 30,000 Palestinians. Biden expressed empathy for the rising civilian death toll, and called on Israel to do more to allow aid into Gaza. Some congressional Democrats and voters are pushing for a permanent ceasefire, but he stopped short.

In the past, X has had a problem with a bot. With its content moderation gutted and paid users given priority, the site’s landscape has changed. The naked women will often encourage you to click on their account. Here are the ways porn bots took over and what it means about social media’s decline.

The State of the Union is one of the biggest television audiences the president will have all year. Here are six standout moments you might have missed.

“This is no ordinary moment,” Biden said. He drew parallels to President Franklin Roosevelt’s State of the Union address in January 1941, as World War II was raging in Europe, and “freedom and democracy were under assault.”

A Remark on the Rights to an Abortion, and the Future of the United States: A Message from the President of the U.S. Senate

One of his guests was Kate Cox, a Texas woman who was forced to travel out of state for an abortion when her fetus was diagnosed with a genetic condition that is almost always fatal. Latorya Beasley was an Alabama woman whose fertility treatments were paused after the state’s Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are legally children.

He pledged to enshrine the protections of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that established the right to an abortion before it was overturned in 2022, in federal law, “if Americans send me a Congress that supports the right to choose.”

Biden also called on Congress to revive a bipartisan deal that would have paired foreign assistance with border security measures. That deal fell apart after Trump and House Republicans came out against it.

After the speech, Biden got into a dispute with a Georgia congresswoman about the death of a University of Georgia student. An undocumented Venezuelan immigrant has been arrested in connection with her death.

A temporary pier will be established on the Mediterranean coast of Gaza to help deliver aid to the territory.

Voters in both parties expressed concern about the president’s age. Tonight he acknowledged those concerns by nodding and saying, “I know it might not look like it, but I’ve been around a while.”

He continued: “When you get to be my age certain things become clearer than ever. … My lifetime has taught me to embrace freedom and democracy future based on core values that have defined America: honesty, decency, dignity, equality. To give everyone a fair shot, and to not give hate a safe harbor.
