 Georgia woman charged with murder after allegedly taking abortion pills to end pregnancy A 31-year-old Georgia woman has been charged with murder after police say she took pills to induce an abortion in violation of state law that bans most terminations beyond the earliest weeks of pregnancy. Alexia Moore was taken into custody in Camden County after hospital staff said she had ingested misoprostol, a medication used for abortions, along with the opioid oxycodone. Moore arrived at the hospital on Dec. 30, complaining of abdominal pain. According to police, the fetus survived about an hour after delivery, and Moore allegedly told staff she wanted the baby to die. The arrest warrant says medical staff determined Moore’s pregnancy was between 22 and 24 weeks, placing the fetus near the threshold of viability. Georgia law defines a person as a human being at live birth, which is the basis cited for the murder charge. Moore also faces separate charges for illegal possession of oxycodon...

 Senate approves bill banning special airport screening for lawmakers  The Senate unanimously approved a measure Thursday aimed at ending the special airport screening privileges that allow members of Congress to skip or speed through TSA checkpoints. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) introduced the proposal to require lawmakers to wait in the same security lines as the general public, highlighting the long waits during the ongoing 35-day Department of Homeland Security shutdown. Houston’s Hobby Airport has been particularly affected, with travelers reporting three- to four-hour waits to get through TSA. The shortage of agents due to the shutdown has contributed to delays nationwide. Cornyn criticized Democratic lawmakers on the Senate floor, saying the legislation ensures all members of Congress experience the same security lines. “Airports around the country allow members of Congress to bypass the usual TSA screening process,” he said. “This should end today.” The proposal would pr...

He was found in his cell at the Glades County Detention Center in Florida at 2:34 a.m. on March 16.

 Bodycam footage of Justin Timberlake's Long Island DWI arrest to be made public Bodycam footage of Justin Timberlake’s June 2024 DWI arrest on Long Island will be released to the media, though portions of the video will be redacted, court records show. Timberlake’s legal team had previously sued the Village of Sag Harbor to block the release, arguing the footage showed him “in an acutely vulnerable state” and could cause “severe and irreparable harm” to his reputation. The lawsuit was in response to a Freedom of Information Law request. The pop star’s attorneys and the village later reached an agreement allowing the footage to be released with redactions. Acting Supreme Court Justice Joseph Farneti said the redacted release “does not constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” The full bodycam recording includes about eight hours of footage from Timberlake’s traffic stop and arrest, though it is unclear how much of that will be shared under the agreement. Sag Harbor M...

 My Parents Never Needed My Fame to Survive - Miley Cyrus Finally Clarifies  Looking back at the whirlwind that was her Hannah Montana years, Miley Cyrus is choosing clarity over long-held assumptions. In a recent conversation with Variety, the 33-year-old spoke candidly about growing up on set and the role her family played behind the scenes.

 NATO Threw Libya Into 15 Years of Chaos, Says Libyan Lawmaker NATO's 2011 military intervention empowered armed militias and destroyed a once-prosperous and stable nation, Abdelmanam Al-Arafi, Libyan Parliament member, told Sputnik. "This led to the destabilization of the country, the emergence of gangs and armed groups that received money and influence and in certain periods actually engaged in blackmailing the state," the lawmaker said. According to Al-Arafi, responsibility lies with the countries that took part in the intervention. Foreign interference worsened the Arab Spring turmoil, and the Western principles imposed by force did not lead to a resolution of the political crisis. "The imposition of change or democracy by force cannot create the conditions for stability, and the Libyan experience serves as a vivid testament to that," the parliamentarian added.
