USA Today and McClatchy are rolling out AI slop and it’s killing trust with the American public. Union journalists are fighting back. #NewsNotSlop axios.com/local/cleveland/20…

How did each ethnicity vote in Florida? For the most part, quite similarly with the exception of Cubans. Cuban: 🔴 R+7.5 Venezuelan: 🔵 D+13.2 Mexican: 🔵 D+16.6 Central American: 🔵 D+25.6 Puerto Rican: 🔵 D+33.1
The Hispanic vote is vastly divided by national origin. Just look at Florida’s 50%+ Hispanic precincts by largest origin: Cuban: 🔴 Moody +7.5 South American: 🔵 Nixon +11.9 Mixed or other Hispanic: 🔵 Nixon +23.0 Puerto Rican: 🔵 Nixon +33.1

Mike Rogers will be another rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s dangerous agenda. We can’t afford to give MAGA another Senate seat in November. #MISEN

🚨NEW: Journalists at two Ohio newspapers owned by USA TODAY Co. are withholding their bylines from stories featuring an AI bot that shares inaccurate information. The tool violates the company’s standards of requiring a “human in the loop,” raising editorial integrity concerns.

I don't know if it was hacked again but Political Cortadito went down shortly after I posted the story about ADLP and David Filler of Suntex going to early voting sites to poach poll workers. So I posted the story on my alternate newsroom on Substack. Here: politicalcortadito.substack.…

Solidarity with our @NUJofficial family going on strike this morning at The Lancet, a 200+ year-old medical journal. Fair contract now! ✊🇬🇧
Our members at The Lancet are taking further strike action for fair pay this week. Elsevier, who owns The Lancet, made an adjusted operating profit of over a billion last year so the company can afford to address pay erosion. Live coverage⬇️ nuj.org.uk/resource/lancet-s…

While the voter registration numbers are notable, the bigger story here is Florida's systemic voter suppression: There are nearly 2 million more Floridians than there were at the start of the decade, yet a smaller share of people are registered to vote. 🎁 miamiherald.com/news/politic…

Fantastic news!!! The Supreme Court declined to hear the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s appeal of a ruling requiring the company to pay back its workers for the cuts to pay, illegally implemented increases in health care costs & more. When we fight, we win!!! ✊✊✊

If you want to cast a ballot in November, Monday is the last day you can register to vote in Florida. Decisions get made by the people who show up. It will take just a few minutes to register. Here is the link. 👇 dos.fl.gov/elections/for-vot…

Senator Cotton is not alone—Boozman, Daines, Fischer, Marshall, Moran, Rounds, Sheehy, Sullivan, Thune, Wicker, Young, and a dozen more oppose permanent DST with its 9am sunrises. We need sunrise at 8am or earlier, which means permanent Standard Time!
Tom Cotton is the one ass holding up the Sunshine Protection Act while the rest of the country is sick of this twice-a-year BS. This act needs to pass ASAP. I’m tired of changing my damn clock. House already passed it. Senate just needs a vote. One senator is sitting on it like it’s his personal hobby. Farmers, hunters, and everybody with a job want the sun in the afternoon. Lock the damn clock. Arkansas, call Cotton and tell him to get off his ass.

Each time I watch this from Sen. Eric Schmitt R-MO it looks even worse. It's an exclamation point on the efforts of GOP lawmakers to run interference for Donald Trump on the Jan. 6 investigation.

Oh I will put blame on the staff and the Senator. That's how this place works.

Imagine Sen. Eric Schmitt R-MO thinking he had a 'gotcha' moment at a hearing with Jack Smith - "I think you've already perjured yourself" - and it turns out his staff doesn't know the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes - unbelievable.
