Remember this as Trump and Big Tech lobbyists try to block AI regulation at both the state and federal level.
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

President Trump unleashed a xenophobic tirade against Somali immigrants on Tuesday during a publicly broadcast cabinet meeting, calling them “garbage” he does not want in the U.S. as he sought to refocus public attention on his anti-immigration rhetoric.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.
Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

Also, Nuremberg references are a great way to remind people that in the 1940s SCOTUS justices thought their job was to PROSECUTE war crimes, not enable them.
The Roberts Court will clearly be remembered as one of, if not the, worst SCOTUS in US history. Remind them TODAY of how pathetic they are.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
