                           ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show has sparked a growing national conversation about free speech in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination.
                          </b>
                          People have lost their jobs over comments about Kirk. Kimmel's show was pulled off the air indefinitely after Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr threatened retaliation against ABC over comments Kimmel made during a monologue. President Trump yesterday said that broadcasters that allow criticism of him should potentially lose their license.

But one Democratic member of the FCC tells her that Carr can't pull a license just because the administration doesn't like a joke or criticism. Trump has been campaigning against Kimmel for months over his criticism of him, so he is thrilled with the show’s suspension. Ilya Somin, a constitutional law expert at the CATO Institute, informed Keith that government

                              The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s federal vaccine advisory committee voted yesterday to change the current recommendations on the MMRV vaccine.

                             The long-standing advice was to allow children under 4 to receive the vaccination, which is a combination shot for measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox. The committee is now recommending that children instead get the MMR and chickenpox vaccines separately. Today, the committee is expected to vote on changing recommendations for the Hepatitis B and COVID vaccines. The panel’s votes still require final approval from the CDC director.

                              But the change could mean that the combo shot would no longer be covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program for kids under 4. Huang, who is attending the two-day meeting, says it has been unusual. The 12 new members’ approach to the meeting is to challenge years of established vaccine science by digging through old data to

                             The president’s declaration comes as top Republican leaders have suggested, without evidence, that antifa may have been involved in the shooting death of Kirk, NPR’s Odette Yousef says.

There is a process to designate groups as foreign terrorist organizations, but without a foreign connection, such a designation could infringe on Americans’ First Amendment rights. This is worth paying attention to, Yousef says, because the intentional expansion of

                          New Zealand is planning to eradicate millions of invasive animals that prey on the country’s rare birds, the kākāpō and the takahē. Neither bird can fly, which wasn’t an issue millions of years ago when their only predators were raptors that hunt from the sky. However, once human settlers arrived, so did mammals that easily hunted and consumed these ground-dwelling birds. Since then, most of the country’s native birds have declined in numbers. To give them a chance, New Zealand is exploring new technology, like automated traps that use artificial intelligence to help eliminate invasive predators by 2050. While this is one of the tools the country hopes will assist in its mission, some conservation experts say a full eradication may not be achievable.
