Twitter curbs researcher access, sparking backlash in Washington
Twitter's decision to restrict access to a key tool used to study the platform is sparking backlash from researchers and Democratic lawmakers, who say the move undercuts owner Elon Musk's pledges to boost transparency at the social network. On Thursday, Twitter announced that it will shutter the ability to freely access its API, or application programming interface - software tools that allow outside researchers and developers to collect and analyze data from a site. Instead, Twitter's development team tweeted, the company will begin charging for it, without specifying how much. The decision will likely price out academics and journalists looking into Twitter's practices and the spread of harmful content on the platform, Democratic lawmakers said. "This move will make it more difficult for researchers to access the information necessary to understand harms on Twitter, including misinformation, foreign influence operations and more," said Rep. Lori Trahan (D-Mass.), who led a … [Read more...] about Twitter curbs researcher access, sparking backlash in Washington
Few Americans are excited about a Biden-Trump rematch, Post-ABC poll finds
WASHINGTON - President Biden and former president Donald Trump may have each drawn a record number of votes in 2020, but at this early stage in the 2024 election cycle, Americans show little enthusiasm for a rematch between the two well-known yet unpopular leaders, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll. Neither Biden nor Trump generate broad excitement within their own party, and most Americans overall say they would feel dissatisfied or angry if either wins the general election. Biden, who has said he intends to seek reelection, has no current opposition for the Democratic nomination. Trump is likely to face at least several challengers in his bid to lead his party for a third consecutive election. Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, the Post-ABC poll finds 58 percent say they would prefer someone other than Biden as their nominee in 2024 - almost double the 31 percent who support Biden. That is statistically unchanged since last September. Among … [Read more...] about Few Americans are excited about a Biden-Trump rematch, Post-ABC poll finds
Biden 2024 win would dissatisfy more voters than Trump reelection: Poll
More Americans would react negatively to President Joe Biden winning reelection than former President Donald Trump returning to the White House following the 2024 presidential election, according to a new poll. The survey , released by The Washington Post and ABC News on Sunday, found that both candidates are facing a lack of enthusiasm among voters ahead of the 2024 election, which could become a rematch of the 2020 race , when Biden narrowly ousted Trump from the White House. But much has changed since the two last went to head-to-head. Trump has faced a flurry of legal probes surrounding his alleged attempts to thwart his defeat, and both men are under investigation for storing classified documents in their private residences. Biden's presidential tenure has also been marred by economic concerns , weighing down his approval rating, though it has risen in recent months. The poll found that amid these controversies, both parties are pining for different … [Read more...] about Biden 2024 win would dissatisfy more voters than Trump reelection: Poll
School District to Give Free Meals to All Kids, Following California’s Lead
A school district on the West Coast is following the lead of California and will be able to make school lunches free for all students, beginning this coming school year. The Auburn School District, in Auburn, Washington, was approved for participation in the federal Community Eligibility Provision through 2026 on Monday.

Poll: Majority Do Not Want Joe Biden to Run for Reelection in 2024
The majority of likely voters in the United States do not want President Joe Biden to run for reelection in 2024, a poll found on the eve of his State of the Union address. The Rasmussen Reports survey poll released Friday found that 56 percent of respondents do not want Biden to run for reelection, as he is past the halfway point of his presidency, and his State of the Union is set for this Tuesday.

Tom Brady issues annual retirement, definitely ending all 49ers rumors
BradyWatch is at least temporarily paused in the Bay Area. Tom Brady claimed on Wednesday that he's retiring, on the exact one-year anniversary of the first time he did that. "I'm retiring, for good," he said in a video posted Wednesday morning . "Won't be long-winded, you only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year," he joked. Brady said he was retiring on Feb. 1, 2022, only to reverse the decision less than six weeks later and return for a 23rd season with the Bucs. He never filed official retirement papers in that case. Brady does have a 10-year, $375 million contract waiting for him at Fox if he retires for real this time. The second the 49ers were eliminated (and Brock Purdy suffered a potentially career-altering elbow injury ), a flurry of rumors and speculation connected Brady to San Francisco. One NFL executive predicted Brady would sign with the Niners , while reporters for the Washington Post and Athletic openly ruminated … [Read more...] about Tom Brady issues annual retirement, definitely ending all 49ers rumors
Trump indictment will lead to “violent attack,” Kirschner predicts
Former President Donald Trump could launch a second "violent attack" if he's indicted in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' probe into his actions surrounding the 2020 presidential election, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner warned Saturday. Willis is investigating whether or not Trump's call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger , in which he allegedly asked him to "find" enough votes to tilt the election in his favor amid his efforts to try to overturn President Joe Biden 's win, violated state election interference laws. A special grand jury wrapped up its investigation last month. Willis is now tasked with reviewing the report and deciding whether to call a traditional grand jury, which would have the authority to issue an indictment against the former president. Kirschner said during an appearance on the The Dean Obeidallah Show on Saturday that indictments are "imminent in Georgia." However, he also warned that Trump may urge his … [Read more...] about Trump indictment will lead to “violent attack,” Kirschner predicts
Sarah Huckabee Sanders Is Running for Arkansas Governor
Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced her bid for governor of Arkansas on Monday, in a much-speculated return to the political stage following her resignation from Donald Trump's administration in 2019. Sanders, the daughter of former Republican Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, announced her candidacy by tweeting a nearly 8-minute campaign video. "Everything we love about America is at stake," Sanders said in the video. "And with the Radical Left now in control of Washington, your governor is your last line of defense. In fact, your governor must be on the frontline." Of her White House tenure, Sanders said: "I took on the media, the radical left, and their cancel culture. And I won." Sanders' platform includes prohibiting sanctuary cities and fighting the Green New Deal . Her pledge comes after President Joe Biden signed sweeping executive orders on immigration and environmental policies in an effort to reverse his predecessor's … [Read more...] about Sarah Huckabee Sanders Is Running for Arkansas Governor
Trump’s Endorsement Record Is Improving: Here’s the Key to His Success
Former President Donald Trump likes to boast about his endorsement record of political candidates—and with good reason. All 55 candidates that Trump has backed in Republican primaries have all either won or advanced to runoff elections. That streak will end eventually—you can't defy the law of averages and politics forever. However, his endorsement win-loss record is set to stay high, or even improve. Newsweek has analyzed Trump's political endorsements for 2018, 2020 and 2022, confining the data to Senate , House and gubernatorial races. Data was taken from Ballotpedia , the nonpartisan online political encyclopedia. Here's what was found: In 2018, Trump's overall endorsement success rate—whether the candidates he endorsed won office—was at best hit-and-miss. He was successful 56 percent of the time. But in 2020, his success rate jumped: Trump endorsees won 78 percent of the time, nearly 4 in 5 candidates. What changed? Trump started backing more candidates, partly due … [Read more...] about Trump’s Endorsement Record Is Improving: Here’s the Key to His Success
