On Friday‚ the U.S. Supreme Court warned public officials could get in trouble for blocking critics on social media. The case arose after James Freed created a private Facebook profile before 2008‚ later converting his profile to a public “page.” In 2014‚ Freed updated his Facebook page to note his new job as city manager of Port Huron‚ Michigan‚ but still posted about his personal life. He also posted information related to his job‚ responded to comments on his posts‚ and occasionally deleted comments that he considered “derogatory” or “stupid.” After the COVID–19 pandemic began‚ Freed posted personal and job-related posts related to it. Facebook user Kevin Lindke commented on some of Freed’s posts‚ saying he disagreed with the city’s COVID policies. At first‚ Freed deleted Lindke’s comments‚ and later blocked him from commenting. Lindke then sued‚ claiming Freed had violated his First Amendment rights and that he had the right to comment because the page was a public forum. The District Court ruled for Freed in Lindke v. Freed; the Sixth Circuit affirmed the decision. “[T]he Court warned that public officials face a high risk of liability when they operate a ‘mixed use’ social media page (i.e.‚ posting both public and private topics) and block people from that page‚” JDSupra.com noted. The Supreme Court vacated the judgment of the Sixth Circuit and remanded the case for further proceedings‚ writing‚ “A public official who prevents someone from commenting on the official’s social-media page engages in state action under §1983 only if the official both (1) possessed actual authority to speak on the State’s behalf on a particular matter‚ and (2) purported to exercise that authority when speaking in the relevant social-media posts.” The Court explained‚ “Section 1983 provides a cause of action against ‘[e]very person who‚ under color of any statute‚ ordinance‚ regulation‚ custom‚ or us- age‚ of any State’ deprives someone of a federal constitutional or statutory right. Section 1983’s ‘under color of” text makes clear that it is a provision designed as a protection against acts attributable to a State‚ not those of a private person.’” “The Sixth Circuit held that an official’s activity is state action if the ‘text of state law requires an officeholder to maintain a social-media account‚’ the official ‘use[s] . . . state re- sources’ or ‘government staff’ to run the account‚ or the ‘accoun[t] belong[s] to an office‚ rather than an individual officeholder.’ These situations‚ the Sixth Circuit explained‚ make an official’s social-media activity ‘fairly attributable’  to the State.”

Kate Middleton was reportedly spotted shopping near her home in Windsor on Saturday‚ looking “happy‚ relaxed and healthy” amid a slew of rumors following her surgery in January. The Princess of Wales was reportedly joined by her husband‚ Prince William‚ on an outing to the Windsor Farm Shop‚ about a mile from their Adelaide Cottage. This was her first public outing since undergoing abdominal surgery‚ as reported by the British tabloid‚ The Sun. However‚ the article did not name its sources or publish new photographs. “Kate [Middleton] was out shopping with William and she looked happy and she looked well‚” an unnamed onlooker told the outlet. “The kids weren’t with them but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.” The onlooker added‚ “After all the rumors that had been going round I was stunned to see them there.” According to The Sun‚ the royal couple spent Saturday morning watching their three children play sports. Speculation about Princess Kate’s health and whereabouts reached a fever pitch last week after Kensington Palace shared a family photo of Middleton and her children in honor of U.K. Mother’s Day. However‚ hours after it appeared in publications‚ the Associated Press issued a “kill notification” on the photo it said had been “manipulated.”  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Later‚ the palace acknowledged the photo had been edited. A message from Middleton on X read‚ “Like many amateur photographers‚ I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day.” The palace has still refused to release the original photo. Middleton was last photographed in public at Christmastime.  In January‚ Kensington Palace released a statement saying that the Princess of Wales would remain in the hospital for up to two weeks before being released to continue her recovery at home. The statement said she would not return to royal public duties until after Easter.

British actress Elizabeth Hurley said she has no problem acting out steamy sex scenes in her son’s new movie. The 58-year-old appears in her 21-year-old son Damian’s directorial debut‚ a project called “Strictly Confidential.” The trailer shows Hurley’s character being seduced by a woman.  “The things that his script needed me to do weren’t necessarily things I’d always done in movies many times‚” the “Austin Powers” actress told Access during an interview. “But having [Damian] there meant that I felt safe and looked-after‚ and I knew in [post production] he’d look after me.” “So actually it’s kind of liberating to work with your family. I may do it again‚” she added. The actress said she had promised her son she’d star in his first movie and that he’d been experimenting with making short films since he was a young boy. Damian gushed about working with his mother on the project.  “I want to worship @ElizabethHurley1 who‚ during the making of my first ever short film back in 2010 (when I was 8) promised me she’d be in my first feature‚” he wrote on Instagram in December 2022. “True to her word‚ the minute this film was greenlit‚ Mama dropped everything and raced out to the beautiful Caribbean to help. Working together was a dream.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Damian Hurley (@damianhurley1) He continued: “This has genuinely been the most incredible experience‚ both professionally and personally. I’ve made lifelong friends and learnt many valuable lessons I’m so so proud of this film.” The mother/son duo have previously made headlines for their behavior with each other. In the past‚ Damian took photos of his mom posing in skimpy bathing suits‚ as she had done for him. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “People find this really controversial‚” he told Access. “Showbusiness has been a fundamental part of my life; my entire life. So to us‚ it’s not a thing. It’s part of business. She takes my photos‚ I take hers.”  Damian is Hurley’s only child. His father‚ Steve Bing‚ died in 2020. Hurley is best known for starring in films like “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” (1997) and “Bedazzled” (2000). She became a megastar in 1994 after attending the premiere of “Four Weddings and a Funeral” with then-boyfriend Hugh Grant and wearing a revealing black Versace dress.

Ryan Phillippe said working on his latest film helped spur him on a faith journey. The 49-year-old actor plays a Christian missionary trapped in Africa with hungry lions on the prowl in the upcoming action thriller “Prey.” During an interview with Fox News Digital‚ Phillippe said that his faith is very important to him and that “it grows even more every day.” “I have a firm and fervent belief in God and that things happen for a reason and that we should put positive energies out into the world and treat people with respect and spread as much love and light as we can to offset the darkness that we see around us everywhere‚” the “Cruel Intentions” star said. “I spent a lot of time in prayer and studying things of that nature I find very fulfilling‚” Phillippe continued. “I feel like it’s the most important thing that you could spend your time thinking about or learning about or trying to understand. So it’s become a very‚ very important part of my life.” The actor also mentioned being in a “darker place” during filming. Phillippe said this is what led to him doing self-reflection and eventually going on a “spiritual journey.” “I got back into reading the Bible and various other religious tomes‚ but I found myself drawn to this notion of spirituality‚” the actor told Fox News. “You get to a point in life‚ a certain age‚ and the things that you thought would bring you pleasure or make you feel satisfied – these would be success or money – and it doesn’t. It doesn’t.” “And so you look for more‚” he went on. “And I’m so thankful for what I’ve been given and for the experiences that I’ve had and for my children and everything else. But I wanted to have a relationship and understanding with God‚ and I was craving that.” “And I’ve got to tell you‚ since I started that journey…my depression is gone‚” Phillippe said. “I shedded addictions so I’m a big proponent for people going inward and trying to understand those aspects of life.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Phillippe said the film‚ released on March 15‚ was appealing partly because his character questioned his faith. “I also really dug that there was this spiritual thread through this story‚ certainly with my character questioning God and questioning the fairness of things and surrendering and getting ultimately to this numb place of just saying‚ ‘If there is a God‚ save me.’ If not‚ I’m going to be eaten by this lion and whatever happens‚ happens‚'” he told the outlet. He added‚ “I think a lot of us find ourselves at places in our lives where we question those things‚ or we challenge those things. And that resonated with me.”

The nation was shaken to its core with the recent revelation of Congresswoman Elizabeth Helgelien's involvement in a shocking murder-sex scandal. As the details continue to unravel‚ it is becoming increasingly clear that the corrupt and depraved actions of this elected official are a reflection of a much larger issue within our government. And from a conservative point of view‚ it is time to address this issue head on. For far too long‚ the liberal media has painted a picture of Congress as a noble and righteous institution‚ filled with selfless public servants. But the truth is‚ as we have seen with Helgelien's scandal‚ there is a dark side to the halls of power. This is not a partisan issue‚ but rather a systemic problem that needs to be addressed before it destroys the very foundation of our democracy.

This congresswoman‚ who was elected to represent the people‚ instead chose to use her power and influence for her own personal gain. Her actions not only violated the trust of her constituents‚ but also brought shame upon the entire institution of Congress. But let's not forget the role that the media played in perpetuating this false image of Congress. Instead of holding our elected officials accountable‚ they have been complicit in covering up the truth and protecting their own interests. This is why it is so crucial for conservative voices to speak out and demand transparency and accountability in our government.

It is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the corruption and immorality that plagues Congress. We cannot turn a blind eye to this any longer. It is time for real change and reform to take place. As conservatives‚ we believe in upholding traditional values and morals. We believe in personal responsibility and accountability. And it is these beliefs that must guide us as we demand a clean-up of our government. We must demand that our elected officials hold themselves to the same standards that we hold ourselves to. But this is not just a call for action within Congress. It is a call for action within our society as a whole. We must teach our children the importance of integrity and honesty. We must elect leaders who embody these values and hold them to the highest standard. And we must hold the media accountable for their role in perpetuating this corrupt system. In conclusion‚ the Elizabeth Helgelien murder-sex scandal has shed light on the dark underbelly of Congress. As conservatives‚ it is our duty to demand change and hold our elected officials accountable. We cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the corruption and immorality that plagues our government. It is time for a new era of transparency and accountability in Congress‚ and it starts with us.
