Fox News: Trump needs to do three big things to protect free speech
President Trump has prioritized ending federal censorship, a goal aligned with First Amendment rights. While he has made some strides, such as opening the White House Press Room to diverse media, his record raises questions about his commitment, especially given past actions against protests and educational censorship.
To truly protect free speech, Trump should focus on safeguarding online discourse by maintaining Section 230 protections, ceasing lawsuits against the media that hinder reporting, and ensuring that efforts to combat antisemitism do not infringe on political speech. The ACLU suggests these steps to fulfill his promises.

Fox News: New poll shows liberal women the most unhappy, lonely
A recent poll reveals that liberal women aged 18-40 report significantly lower life satisfaction and higher feelings of loneliness compared to their conservative and moderate counterparts. Only 12% of liberal women reported being "completely satisfied" with their lives, while 37% of conservative women did.
The survey also highlighted relationship status, with 40% of liberal women being single compared to 33% of conservative women. Experts suggest that the higher marriage rates among conservative women contribute to their greater life satisfaction, as marriage and family provide meaning and purpose.
Fox News: Trump’s order was the last straw – at least, the last paper one. We should rejoice
President Trump’s executive order banning paper straws has garnered bipartisan support, as many Americans find them ineffective and frustrating. Trump criticized their performance, noting they break easily and dissolve in liquids, making them impractical for consumers.
The piece argues that the push for paper straws was driven by environmentalists with questionable claims about plastic's impact on marine life. The author suggests that this move is a win for parents and consumers alike, allowing for a return to more functional plastic straws while still promoting alternatives like stainless steel.
