AI-generated commercials are here, and critics are displeased—but human work is still key.

Louisiana's GOP governor signed a law requiring public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments.

Project 2025, developed by MAGA allies, has plans to infuse ‘Christian nationalism’ in a Trump second term.

Republicans are coming for the separation of church and state.

Corporate profits drove more than half of recent US inflation.

What's the GOP’s response?

They don't just want to extend Trump's tax cuts for the rich, they want lower corporate taxes too.

They're fine with corporations siphoning money from you and keeping more of the spoils.

Unemployment has been at or below (mostly below) 4% since the end of 2021.

4 years ago, Trump called it "joyous" &"stupendous" that unemployment was only 13.3%.

In the "booming" Reagan years, unemployment averaged 7.5%.

Pres. Biden is presiding over historically strong growth.

I am deeply humbled and honored to be named the Icon Grand Marshal for the 2024 LA Pride Parade. To be recognized in this way by the LGBTQ+ community, an extraordinary group of individuals who have fought tirelessly for equality, is truly overwhelming. As someone who has witnessed the struggles and triumphs of our community over the years, I am filled with gratitude for the progress we have made and inspired to continue the fight for full acceptance and equality for all.

Why are multimillionaires and billionaires like Peter Thiel, Rupert Murdoch, Travis Kalanick, Steven Mnuchin, and others are rallying behind Trump?

Yes, the tax cuts. But there's more.

The more Trump tears down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes.

Billionaires aren’t just supporting Trump for the tax cuts.

As Peter Thiel once admitted: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”

Make no mistake: The goal of American oligarchy is to tear down democracy itself.

When Trump says, "The real verdict will be on November 5," he's basically admitting the the purpose of his presidential campaign is try to escape the consequences of his crimes.

TRUMP: If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone.

Yes. If you commit 34 felonies by filing false business records to cover up election interference, you too can be convicted by a jury of your peers via the due process of our criminal justice system.

Lawsuit argues Call of Duty helped cause the Uvalde school shooting

@arstechnica No.

If video games influenced that much, I'd have stolen a tank and gone in a killing streak by now.

And

It's not Activision's responsibility to parent folks children. I'm pretty sure that's the PARENTS responsibility. 🙄

Trump called fallen service members "losers" and "suckers" — according to his chief of staff — he publicly accused soldiers with PTSD of not being "strong," demeaned POWs, and insulted Gold Star parents & a widow. When he pretends to honor service members today, don't believe it.

Target's profit increased 49% to $4.1B last year, even with slower sales.

Its CEO received $18M in compensation on the year while the company paid $508M in dividends in Q4.

Makes you wonder if Target could have lowered its prices a lot sooner but just chose not to.

Justice Samuel Alito flew not one, but two pro-insurrection flags at his homes.

Alito not being forced to recuse from Trump's immunity case and upcoming Jan 6 cases tells you everything you need to know about the SCOTUS code of "ethics" established last year.

Memo to the media: Don't write about corporations suddenly lowering prices without mentioning how their profits have been skyrocketing or their tax bills have been shrinking. They could have kept prices lower all along. They chose note to. Give people the full picture.
