House Democrats who voted yes on NDAA lament transgender restrictionsMr Carter, a former peanut farmer, served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981, taking over in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the end of the Vietnam War. After his defeat by Ronald Reagan, he spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. His death on Sunday was announced by his family and came more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. He was the longest-lived US president. Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia. pic.twitter.com/aqYmcE9tXi — The Carter Center (@CarterCenter) December 29, 2024 His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights and unselfish love. “My brothers, sister and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. “The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honouring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta and Washington DC before being buried in his home town of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and finally the White House, where he took office as the 39th president. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked for more than four decades leading the Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service.
By Kanishka Singh WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said on Thursday his office launched investigations into over a dozen technology platforms over their privacy and safety practices for minors. Those being probed included artificial Intelligence chatbot startup Character.AI and fourteen other platforms like Reddit, Instagram and Discord, the Texas attorney general added. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Tech platforms have come under increasing scrutiny over their impact on children. Top U.S. social media platforms made an estimated $11 billion in advertising revenue from users younger than 18 in 2022, according to a Harvard study published last year. U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy last year warned that young people using social media risked suffering body image issues, disordered eating, poor sleep quality and low self-esteem, especially among adolescent girls. KEY QUOTE "Technology companies are on notice that my office is vigorously enforcing Texas' strong data privacy laws," Paxton said. CONTEXT Social media companies have said they will work with officials to protect young users, and say they have introduced new tools designed to protect teens online, including parental control features. The firms had no immediate comment on Thursday. Paxton's statement said the probes would focus on the platforms' compliance with two Texas laws - the Securing Children Online through Parental Empowerment (SCOPE) Act and the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA). The SCOPE Act bans digital service providers from sharing, disclosing, or selling a minor's personal identifying information without permission from the child's parent or legal guardian. The legislation requires firms to provide parents with tools to manage and control the privacy settings on their child's account. The TDPSA imposes notice and consent requirements on companies that collect and use minors' personal data, Paxton's office said.

DETROIT — Elon Musk says the Securities and Exchange Commission wants him to pay a penalty or face charges involving what he disclosed — or failed to disclose — about his purchases of Twitter stock before he bought the social media platform in 2022. In a letter posted by Musk on the platform now called X, his lawyer Alex Spiro tells the outgoing SEC chairman, Gary Gensler, that the commission's demand for a monetary payment is a "misguided scheme" that won't intimidate Musk. The letter also alleges that the commission reopened an investigation this week into Neuralink, Musk's computer-to-human brain interface company. The SEC has not released the letter. Nor would it comment on it or confirm whether it has issued such a demand to Musk. "It is the policy of the SEC to conduct investigations on a confidential basis to preserve the integrity of its investigative process," an agency spokesperson said in an email Friday.

The two-time Big Brother winner, 50, took to Instagram this week sharing a photo of her mouth and chin after feeling a lump inside her mouth. After attempting to take a photo to find the problem, Reggie discovered something much more sinister. 'I could feel a lump in my mouth so I took a photo to try and see what it was...' she captioned her post. 'Zoomed in and to my horror I've just seen how hairy my face is.' The star, who is legally blind but has some vision, attributed the tuft of facial hair on her chin to menopause . Beloved reality television star Reggie Bird (pictured) has made a shocking discovery during a self-health check 'This is just wrong. Gotta be the bloody menopause! I don't know what to do,' she added. 'If I shave it will I grow a beard? I'm more concerned about my hairy face than the lump in my mouth.' While some fans suggested Reggie get laser hair removal for the chin hair, several were concerned for the star and urged her to first get the lump checked by a medical professional. 'Please get lump checked,' one fan commented. 'Get it checked immediately please Reggie forget the hairs for now,' added another. One user said: 'Please get the lump checked either GP or Dentist this is so important. Then once you've done that, look at options for hair.' It comes after Reggie opened about feeling like a failure despite winning Big Brother twice . Speaking on the Mental As Anyone podcast, the mother of two revealed that although she won the reality competition twice, once in 2003 and again in 2022, she is struggling to find a job.

'I'm starting to think, why doesn't anyone want to give me a job? I want to work and that starts to make you feel like... no one wants you,' she said. 'I could answer phones, you know, I'm good at talking to people,' Reggie said, reflecting that even though she has a disability, she can still be useful. Bird is legally blind after being diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare degenerative eye disease that causes severe vision impairment. 'I'm limited to what I can do because of my eyes are so stuffed. I've now got nine degrees of pinhole vision, no peripheral vision and no night vision left. 'I only just see what's in front of me, it is like looking through a straw, that's how I explain it to people,' she explained. Reggie made history when she became the first reality star to win Big Brother twice, the first time in 2003 and again in 2022 . Despite taking home $250,000 in prize money during the 2003 and 2022 seasons of Big Brother , the TV personality has struggled financially over the years. Reggie is also affected by Usher syndrome, a rare genetic disease that affects both hearing and vision. She previously hit back at her critics who doubted her bad run of health in an interview with TV Week. 'A lot of people are saying, "Oh, she's faking it." Who would want to fake being blind?' she told the publication. The former fish and chip shop manager, who says her vision is now like looking through straws, added: 'They don't know me, or the challenges I deal with every day. 'I think people who leave comments like that have issues.' Upon winning the 2022 celebrity edition of the show, Reggie said the prize money would go towards paying rent to ensure she and her children had stable accommodation.
