What!?
A new investigation has revealed that grocery delivery service Instacart is using a covert, AI-powered dynamic pricing scheme to charge customers different prices for the same items — potentially costing households over $1,000 more a year.

In an experiment, investigators found that the same grocery basket at a Seattle store cost between $114 and $124.

After I read the fess about the husband using Magic Erasers on tea mugs, I wondered if they would work on tea stains on my teeth. Asked my dentist first and he laughed so hard he needed to excuse himself from the room. Needless to say: Do not put Magic Erasers in your mouth.

Donald Trump just ended a rule that required airlines to compensate you for delayed or canceled flights.
Why?
Maybe because the airlines donated big bucks to Trump. Or maybe because the Secretary of Transportation used to be an airline lobbyist.
Either way, you lose.

You don’t need to be a Democrat to know this is wrong — you just need a conscience. If you can hear what these people survived in ICE custody and feel no outrage, then we are not standing on the same side of right and wrong.

BREAKING: We're joining a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from accessing Rhode Island’s entire voter file as part of their effort to create a national voter database.
This puts our sensitive information at risk and could be used to try to disenfranchise voters.

Voting for Trump fundamentally means you lack the capacity to onboard information
81% of the surveyed Latinos who voted for Trump still approve of his job performance.
For the first time in nearly two decades of our surveys of U.S. Latinos, most say they think the situation of Hispanics in this country has worsened in the last year. And about a third of Latinos say they have considered leaving the country in the last six months. www.pewresearch.org/...
