🚨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.

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. 🎁

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!!! ✊✊✊
Breaking: Post-Gazette union-busters have hit a dead end at Supreme Court and must pay back millions to @newsguild-CWA journalists.

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.

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.
Tony Winton retweeted
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.

Thank you for highlighting this. The 'millage' has to viewed in the context of this rate, but so often munis spin lower rates as cuts when in fact, taxes go up.
Tony Winton retweeted
That’s because his tepid response to her gave permission to a whole line of Rs - from Iowa and Michigan to Kansas and Utah - to distance themselves from him too. He’s now trying to close the barn door. Too late.

"I applaud these news organizations for pushing back immediately against Trump’s illegal behavior,” said @gaufre, the president of The NewsGuild-CWA.
"This is yet again another shameful moment for our country."

About damn time.
