YouTube, Snap, and TikTok have settled a Kentucky school district’s claims that the platforms fueled a youth mental health crisis that the school district said it was forced to manage.

The Breathitt County School District in rural eastern Kentucky still plans to take Meta Platforms, parent of Facebook and Instagram, to trial on June 15.

The agreements, detailed in federal court filings on Friday, are among the first set for trial in more than 1,200 similar lawsuits filed by school districts nationwide. 

“This matter has been amicably resolved and our focus remains on building age-appropriate products and parental controls that deliver on that promise,” a YouTube spokesperson said in a statement.

TIPSHEET

Fetterman: Democratic Base Is Becoming Increasingly Anti-American

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is increasingly becoming a pariah within his own party, if you didn’t already know that. He’s likely to lose re-election because Democrats in his state can’t stand him, and there aren’t enough Republicans and Independents to save him. He’s rejected this move, but switching parties isn’t an option. For starters, he admits he wouldn’t agree with the GOP on some major issues. Also, there’s no way Pennsylvania Republicans would let him just take that slot in the next election. There will be a primary, and he’d lose. So, he’s going to do what he can to make DC work, I guess. Who knew he would become the next Joe Manchin of the Senate—a Democrat who’s reasonable.

Senator Bernie Moreno Sounds the Alarm on Chinese Vehicles Entering the US

Senator Bernie Moreno slammed Chinese cars as “roving surveillance devices” as China continues to massively expand its vehicle exports and aggressively push into markets across Canada and Latin America. While many view the vehicles as serious security threats, Americans have also had to grapple with the reality that, in many cases, they are significantly more affordable and feature more advanced technology than even some of the most high-end American cars.

WORLD_ Finland points to Arctic as Trump questions value of NATO (John T. Seward - THE WASHINGTON TIMES)

Finland points to Arctic as Trump questions value of NATO

Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen attends a press conference near the Vaalimaa border checkpoint between Finland and Russia in Virolahti, Finland, Wednesday, May 22, 2024. As the war in Ukraine takes a turn in Russia’s favor, borders are being bolstered … more >

By John T. Seward - The Washington Times - Saturday, May 16, 2026

What to know 

* Finland's officials respond to U.S. NATO spending complaints with their own defense priorities.
* Minister Elina Valtonen agrees NATO needs more European investment in defense.
* Finland has historically invested heavily in its own defense before joining NATO.
* Finland ranks ninth in NATO for defense spending as a percentage of GDP. 

HELSINKI — The Trump administration’s loudest complaints about NATO — that Europe isn’t pulling its weight in defense spending and security — are meeting a different reality here in Finland, one of the alliance’s newest Nordic members.

Finland’s top foreign and defense officials say their country’s response to the critical U.S. rhetoric and the calls for increased defense spending isn’t about pledges or promises. It’s a balance sheet that shows how high the nation’s security priorities were before ever joining NATO.

“We have exactly the same position as President Trump in the sense that we think that NATO is not at its full potential yet,” Foreign Affairs Minister Elina Valtonen said Tuesday in a media roundtable discussion with journalists, including a reporter from The Washington Times’ Threat Status platform. “The European countries have not invested enough from their pocket in the defense of deterrence. Finland certainly has.”

US removes highly enriched uranium from Venezuelan research reactor

The United States, working with the United Kingdom and International Atomic Energy Agency, successfully removed highly enriched uranium from a Venezuelan research reactor.

The operation was carried out by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration. The existence of the highly enriched uranium had long been known, being used in an old RV-1 reactor for research purposes well before the socialist takeover of the country. It ceased operations in 1991 and hasn’t been used since.

Despite growing resistance from residents and environmental advocates, Utah officials moved forward with plans for a massive data center project that is poised to be one of the largest in the country.

In the far northwestern corner of Utah, the Box Elder County Commission on May 4 approved a data center project dubbed “Stratos Project.” However, the project has since received major public pushback, with residents raising concerns over its environmental impacts on the area.

Venezuela Opposition Leader Refuses to Take the Bait As CNN Presses Her on Trump’s ‘51st State’ Remark

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado stood firm as CNN’s Eric Burnett pressed her to criticize President Trump’s joking social media post suggesting Venezuela could become the 51st state. Machado, rather than play CNN's game, spoke about the promising future of her country as an ally of the United States, the shared Western values, and the hope she holds for Venezuela once the last remnants of the Maduro regime are gone.

Dissidents and rights activists in various regions of China have been warned by the Chinese regime’s police not to accept interviews from foreign media, not to post on overseas social media platforms, and not to leave their homes during U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to China, according to social media posts and Chinese citizens who spoke with The Epoch Times.

Chinese regime authorities routinely tighten control, especially over what they call “sensitive individuals,” such as dissidents, rights activists, and petitioners, during international events, the ruling Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) major meetings, or foreign leaders’ visits.

During President Trump's visit to China this week, there will be many things on the agenda to discuss with Chinese President Xi Jinping. They will discuss things like the war in Iran, trade, and fentanyl. But there should be one other topic: Chinese "police stations" right in the heart of New York City.

Rubio Locks In Lead for '28

Looking ahead to 2028, you can't help getting the impression that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is working hard, seizing opportunities and positioning himself for the next election, while Vice President JD Vance isn't.

Rubio is like the baseball team that scraps for every run and creates openings while Vance seems to be waiting for President Trump to hit a three-run homer to bring him in.

And it's reflected in the polls.

The Atlas Poll has Rubio beating Vance in a trial run by almost 15 points — 45-30.

Rubio seems to grasp, as Vance does not, that Latino is the new Black for the Republican Party. Blacks, particularly women, have been rock solid in their party loyalty to the Democrats while African American men are inclined to stray.

But GOP gains among Hispanics of both genders have been formidable with some polls now rating the Latino vote as a near toss-up with the Democratic lead over Trump among Hispanics down to five points or less.

It's not just that Rubio himself is Cuban but that he has been the foremost voice in fighting the Nicolas Maduros of the world and pushing for the liberation of Cuba.

He has used his position as secretary of state to polish his image while Vance has largely been content with pushing Trump's agenda in Europe, lambasting NATO countries for not doing more to step up for the alliance.

Rubio is clearly leading Trump among Latinos, winning converts for him in a way Vance is failing to do.

Rubio has a charisma edge while Vance seems to be a stolid follower in Trump's wake.

But, in a sense. the contest for the Republican nod in 2028 is a chimera.

Whoever Trump endorses will be the nominee.

No others need apply. But the difference in the enthusiasm level between Rubio and Vance is becoming hard to ignore.
