The tech giant’s move comes as a threat of civil war looms in Myanmar after hundreds of protesters have been killed and thousands more detained since the military coup on February 1. The military, known as the Tatmadaw, has not been able to quash continued public defiance but is taking extreme measures to crack down on efforts to oppose its rules.

The cost of living crisis, gun control, and abortion rights have dominated headlines over the past few months.

However, this week Biden fiercely rebuked the challenges to his popularity among Democrats, insisting he had the support of his party. The Claim A video of Biden posted to Twitter on July 12, 2022 shows the president challenging a reporter who had asked him what his message was to Democrats who don’t want you to run again....

According to the State Firearms Laws Database, California has more gun laws than any other state in the U.S.—107 compared to Texas’s 18 (though not as low as Idaho’s one gun law, which prohibits firearms from being carried in elementary schools). With multiple people left dead from mass shootings in Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay, to name just two incidents that occurred in January 2023, it seems striking that Texas would maintain such a higher rate of gun deaths when compared to the next largest state....
Among the loudest of the more fringe voices in this debate is Rayla Campbell, a Republican running for Secretary of State in Massachusetts. Campbell has led an ongoing campaign to censor books promoting LGBTQ+ rights and sex education for children.

Obama’s ad claims, “Clinton’s taken more from big oil and other PACs and lobbyists than any other candidate, Democrat or Republican.” Actually, Clinton is fourth and Obama is a close fifth when it comes to donations from oil and gas industries. Clinton’s ad says that “she’s the one who will make oil companies pay” to support her clean-energy initiatives. In fact, both candidates propose to spend $150 billion for energy improvements over 10 years, and both propose to pay for some part of that through higher taxes on oil companies....
