Senate passes GENIUS Act—criticized as gifting Trump ample opportunity to grift

Critics have long warned that Donald Trump's pro-cryptocurrency push as president, coupled with his links to his family's growing crypto empire, create substantial conflicts of interest that must be probed. But so far, nothing has stopped Trump's family from seemingly benefiting from the presidency while expanding their empire. And now, Trump is rushing regulation through Congress that many Democrats fear could create his biggest conflict of interest yet. On Tuesday, the Senate passed the GENI

Jell-O and Kool-Aid Will Soon Stop Using Artificial Dyes. Here's How to Avoid These Food Dyes Right Now

Apple introduces new limited-time Apple Card sign-up offer: Earn $100 in Daily Cash

Once again, Apple has launched a new Apple Card sign up bonus for a limited time. Apple Card typically doesn’t come with a sign up bonus, but from time to time – Apple will launch these special offers through social media campaigns and targeted emails. Typically, I’d refer to an Apple Card sign up offer as “rare”, but there’s been so many in the past year or so that it’d no longer be an accurate term. Regardless though, if you sign up for an Apple Card normally – you don’t receive a sign up bon

Far-Right ‘Appeal to Heaven’ Flag Flown Above Government Agency in DC

A controversial “Appeal to Heaven” flag that has recently become associated with the “Stop the Steal” movement and Christian nationalism was flown above the Small Business Administration (SBA) agency last week in Washington, DC. On June 11, Kelly Loeffler, the former senator from Georgia and current administrator of the SBA, participated in a ceremony where a new flag of the United States was raised over the agency’s headquarters.

Jell-O and Kool-Aid Will No Longer Contain Artificial Dyes. This Is What's Replacing Them.

Following the FDA's banning of Red Dye No. 3 in food and ingested drugs in January and the approval of three natural food colors in May, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. asked that food manufacturers remove eight petroleum-based food dyes from their products by the end of 2026.

“Have we no shame?”: Trump’s NIH grant cuts appallingly illegal, judge rules

The Trump administration has locked horns with a federal judge who ruled on Monday that more than $1 billion in DEI-fueled cuts to federal health research clearly discriminated against racial minorities and LGBTQ+ people. In what The New York Times dubbed a “damning assessment” of Trump’s motives, Judge Williams G. Young ruled from the bench that the cuts were “void and illegal,” saying it was his “duty” to immediately order funding restored. “I would be blind not to call it out,” Young said,

Mastodon updates its terms to prohibit AI model training

Social networks are bolstering their terms of service against scrapers and bots that crawl the website to train AI models.

Social media is now the top news source in the U.S.

For the first time ever, social media has overtaken TV as the number one way Americans get their news. Whether that’s a good thing… depends on who you ask.

According to the report, 54% of U.S. adults now say their news come from social media and video platforms, compared to 50% who rely on TV and 48% who use traditional news websites or apps.

Elon Musk Posts "No Kings" Message as Protests Rage Against Trump

Late Sunday night, billionaire Elon Musk was seemingly kept awake by the specter of the "No Kings" mass protests across the United States over the weekend. Millions of people took to the streets to counter a controversial — and apparently boring-as-hell — military parade, sponsored by UFC and put on by president Donald Trump, with the striking choice to hold it on his birthday. Musk took to his own social media platform, posting a screenshot of the iconic horror video game "Bioshock," which sh

Companies may soon pay a fee for their rockets to share the skies with airplanes

Ted Cruz (R-Texas) last week calls for the FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation, known as AST, to begin charging licensing fees to space companies next year. The fees would phase in over eight year

As Trump Comes for Your Social Media, It’s Time You Consider What’s Worth Sharing

Agents of the Trump administration are increasingly using social media posts to crack down on immigrants, tourists, and even some U.S. citizens.

Legal immigrants may have benefits denied based on social media activity, and people expressing opinions or acting contrary to Trump are being detained a

Bluesky backlash misses the point

Bluesky is missing an opportunity to explain to people that its network is more than just its own Bluesky social app. In recent weeks, a number of headlines and posts have surfaced questioning whether Bluesky’s growth is declining, if the network has become too much of a left-leaning echo chamber, or if its users lack a sense of humor, among other charges. Investor Mark Cuban, who even financially backed Skylight, a video app built on Bluesky’s underlying protocol, AT Proto, complained this we
