By Alexander Fernandez Life News Today WASHINGTON (Oct. 15, 2025) — When Congress passed the Martha Wright-Reed Act in 2023, it promised an end to one of the most persistent financial burdens in America’s justice system: the price of a phone call home. Two years later, that promise remains out of reach. The law gave the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) full authority to regulate how much prisons and jails could charge for calls. The goal was simply to stop private tele

By Gabriela Casais Life News Today DAVAO ORIENTAL, Philippines (Oct. 10, 2025) — Two powerful offshore earthquakes struck eastern Mindanao on Friday, toppling homes, cutting power and prompting brief tsunami alerts along the Pacific coast. The twin shocks, known as a “doublet,” left at least seven people dead and dozens injured across Davao Oriental and nearby provinces, according to local officials. The first quake, with a magnitude of 7.4, struck at 9:43 a.m. local time abo

By Viviana Cetola With Life News Today — October 2025 For generations, multiple sclerosis has been a disease of frustration, a slow unraveling of the nervous system where the body turns against itself. But in two university labs separated by 1,700 miles, a pair of molecules may be writing a new chapter in how we think about healing. At the University of California, Riverside, neuroscientist Seema Tiwari-Woodruff and her team have spent years asking one question: Can damaged n

Alexander Fernandez A legacy neglected The Library of Congress (Library) in Washington, D.C., was established by an act of Congress in 1800 during John Adams’ presidency.

By Alexander Fernandez Reporter with Life News Today In 2011, long before a global pandemic tested national preparedness and cyberattacks targeted the nation’s infrastructure, a handful of junior officers at United States Strategic Command gathered in a windowless room in Omaha, Nebraska, facing a blank contingency planning template.

Malawians delivered a dramatic political comeback this month, electing former president Peter Mutharika and unseating incumbent Lazarus Chakwera in a vote widely seen as a referendum on government performance and economic survival. Once the British protectorate of Nyasaland, Malawi gained independence in 1964 and adopted a 1994 constitution establishing a presidential republic with an independent judiciary and electoral commission. Its democracy has been tested repeatedly, in

Bougainvilleans turned out in force this week for an election that could shape the region’s final steps toward independence from Papua New Guinea. The vote for president and a new House of Representatives comes six years after the 2019 referendum, when an overwhelming 98.3 percent of voters endorsed independence — a result that still awaits ratification by PNG’s national parliament before full sovereignty can be achieved. The region’s path has been marked by decades of strugg

Guyana’s September 1 general election served as both a test of democracy and a measure of how the country manages its oil-fueled economic boom, which has made it one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Once known as British Guiana, the nation gained independence in 1966 and became a republic in 1970. Its politics have long been shaped by ethnic divisions — with Indo-Guyanese voters generally backing the People’s Progressive Party/Civic, and Afro-Guyanese supporting
