More children are depressed and anxious. Is social media really behind it?
No one really knows how significant of a role social media plays in youths’ emotional state. It doesn’t help that mental health is influenced by many factors, and no single treatment works for every person. said Megan Moreno, a scientist and pediatrician at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and co-director of the Center of Excellence on Social Media and Youth Mental Health at the American Academy of Pediatrics. Recent legislation takes aim at Big Tech, seeking to protect children’s mental health by limiting access to social media. Randomized, controlled studies on whether social media caused the mental-health crisis are impractical because exposure to social media is now everywhere, researchers say.

Response to Recent Criticisms on New York Times Opinion Essay
A recent opinion essay gathered first-hand testimonies from 65 U.S.-based health professionals who worked in Gaza over the past year, who shared more than 160 photographs and videos with Times Opinion to corroborate their detailed accounts of treating preteen children who were shot in the head or chest. Following publication, some readers questioned the accuracy of the accounts and the authenticity of three CT images shown. Times Opinion rigorously edited this guest essay before publication, verifying the accounts and imagery through supporting photographic and video evidence and file metadata. When questions arose about the veracity of images included in the essay, we did additional work to review our previous findings. We presented the scans to a new round of multiple, independent experts in gunshot wounds, radiology and pediatric trauma, who attested to the images’ credibility.

Exhausted Gazans defy evacuation orders as Israel presses new offensive
Samah Al-Haddad, a 30-year-old English teacher from Gaza City, said she is determined to stay in her family home despite the intensity of airstrikes and ground fire. About 50,000 people have moved from the areas under Israeli evacuation orders to other parts of Gaza City, according to the United Nations. For the past two weeks Israel kept closed the crossings used by aid trucks to reach northern Gaza, humanitarian groups say. On Monday, a World Food Program delivery of 30 trucks containing food was permitted to enter northern Gaza. Her immediate family has decided to stay in Gaza City even as the fighting inches closer.

North Carolina governor candidate Mark Robinson sues CNN over report about posts on porn site
Polls at the time of the CNN report already showed Democratic rival Josh Stein, the sitting attorney general, with a lead over Robinson. Louis Love Money, the other named defendant, released the video and spoke with other media outlets before the CNN report. In North Carolina courts, a public official claiming defamation generally must show a defendant knew a statement was false or recklessly disregarded its untruthfulness. Robinson worked for several days with a central North Carolina sheriff collecting relief supplies and criticized Democratic Gov. Robinson had been a frequent presence at Trump’s North Carolina campaign stops, but he hasn’t participated in such an event since the CNN report.

US Army accelerates efforts to expand ammo production nationwide
The U.S. Army is kicking it into high gear when it comes to artillery shell production, and it’s about time. It all came down to one supplier, which left the U.S. Army vulnerable to supply disruptions. This isn’t just about getting shells to the front lines; it’s about future-proofing the military in a way that’s never been done before. You don’t just throw money at a problem like this—you need to expand, innovate, and build redundancy into the system. That’s why the Army is also moving away from a single-source approach to production, especially for critical parts.

Biden admin to provide $750 million to North Carolina-based Wolfspeed for advanced computer chips
Wolfspeed's use of silicon carbide enables the computer chips used in electric vehicles and other advanced technologies to be more efficient. The North Carolina-based company's two projects are estimated to create 2,000 manufacturing jobs as part of a more than $6 billion expansion plan. In 2023, President Joe Biden spoke at Wolfspeed to promote his economic agenda, saying it would help the United States outcompete China. Trump narrowly won North Carolina during the 2020 presidential election and has talked about bringing back the state's furniture manufacturing sector. Wolfspeed also expects to receive $1 billion from an advanced manufacturing tax credit, meaning the company in total will have access of up to $2.5 billion.
