AI-generated news should carry “nutrition” labels and tech companies must pay publishers for the content they use, according to a left-of-centre thinktank, amid rising use of the technology as a source for current affairs.

The dude is from North Carolina and mostly spent his career in New Orleans and southeastern California. He'd probably never been to Minneapolis in his life before this month.

"Who's city is it Chief?
Bovino: "It's our fucking city."
And that, in a nutshell, is the problem. It is not a democracy when men with guns and uniforms believe they have more control over a city than its residents.

Ask voters which party they support on *deportations*, or civil rights — or what their preferred policy is vs status quo. Individual party trust questions are not the end all be all, and currently Dems lead on the question “Which party do you trust to handle the country’s most important problem?”
Yep! Data consistently show voters still trust Republicans on immigration. Voters only approve of Trump's border security policy and literally nothing else.
People are conflating the negative polls reflecting opposition to ICE/CBP goon squads disrupting US cities with a massive shift towards more lenient immigration & border policies that's basically wishcasting. This will matter more in 2028 than 2026.
