Between 2015 and 2025, at least 15 children in an Idaho faith-healing sect died of treatable conditions. State law allows that to happen: Parents who say their faith prohibits giving their children lifesaving medical care can’t be prosecuted.

propublica.org

Idaho Law Protects Faith Healers. It Wasn’t Always That Way.

From at least the 1880s through the early 1970s, it was illegal for parents in Idaho to choose prayer over medical care when a child’s life was at stake.

Many of the babies’ autopsy reports were clear: Vitamin K deficiency was the immediate cause of death, or contributed to it. The reports also included details about parents refusing the vitamin K shot, a long-standard injection, for their newborns. (Published May)

David Ellison is threatening to move Paramount Skydance out of California to bully state Attorney General Rob Bonta into ending his challenge of Paramount’s $111 billion purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery. But Ellison’s threat is empty. Let’s start with the illogic of the threat:

As an expert on this topic, I know of no cases anywhere in which AI was key to preventing a school shooting. In fact, I am 605% sure this is another instance of Kash Patel spouting BS stats on Fox News. (Maybe he should just chug a beer on air? As Trump’s former press sec tries to look serious?) 🤡🤡
