Fox News: Navy veteran's $500M defamation lawsuit against Associated Press advances with first hearing
Zachary Young, a U.S. Navy veteran, is pursuing a defamation lawsuit against the Associated Press, claiming the outlet falsely portrayed him as a "smuggler" in an article. Young previously won a defamation case against CNN for similar allegations related to his actions during the Afghanistan withdrawal.
Young's legal team argues that the AP's use of the term "smuggling" implies criminal conduct and does not adequately address the core issues of the case. They are seeking nearly $500 million in damages and have filed to amend the complaint to include punitive damages. A hearing is scheduled for July 3.

Forbes: Affirm Stock Down As Klarna’s Buy Now, Pay Later Credit Loss Rises 17%
Affirm Holdings has seen its stock drop 17% in 2025 due to a weak growth forecast, despite a significant rise in stock value over the past three years. The company reported solid revenue but issued a lower-than-expected guidance for the fourth quarter, raising concerns amid rising loan default rates.
While some analysts remain optimistic about Affirm's long-term potential, citing its leadership in the Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) space, others highlight risks associated with a weakening economy and increasing defaults among borrowers with poor credit scores. The overall BNPL market has grown rapidly, but economic pressures could impact both consumers and providers.

The Imaginative Conservative: The Wisdom of Brigid
Brigid's success as a missionary stemmed from her ability to connect with the native culture, preserving its elements while introducing Christianity. Her strong character and significant influence were likely supported by her father, Dubthach, a prince of Leinster.
Brigid's compassion for the common people and her practical approach to faith were evident in her interactions, such as advocating for a slave's freedom and her adaptability in times of need. Her life exemplified a blend of humanity and spirituality, distinguishing her from both pagan and later saintly figures.
