For the last 10 years, Trump’s public enemy no. 1 has been the “fake news.” Now, he might be wishing he had it back. Here’s what we think Trump’s “ban on the free press” means for all of us.

Q: You talked about the pending 22% cut to Social Security, what's your plan to address that issue? North Carolina Democratic Sen. nominee @RoyCooperNC: It is unacceptable for people on Social Security to take a 22% hit, that averages $500 a month for North Carolina families. Wealthier people will have to pay their fair share.

James Talarico invites Ken Paxton to debate him: "Texans start voting in less than 1 month, and they deserve to hear from both of us before they do. I've accepted 4 local TV debates, but we haven't heard from you... If Fox News is where you'll be most comfortable, I'll be there because I think it's that important."

Pope Leo XIV on AI: Today, we possess the means to connect people and continents instantaneously. Yet at the same time we are witnessing new forms of isolation, material and spiritual poverty, and abandonment. Communication has become much faster, but not necessarily more truthful. Information is abundant, but that is not synonymous with wisdom. Without a shared ethical foundation, the many channels of communication risk multiplying false information and giving currency to words devoid of meaning, thereby hindering dialogue rather than fostering it. Artificial intelligence amplifies this problem.

Pope Leo XIV on AI: The Tower of Babel represents a unity imposed through domination. At the same time, this edifice reveals that the more power seeks to oppress, the more it weakens itself, exposing its inhumane face. We see this in the suffering and injustice caused by despotism, as well as in forms of exploitation that damage both society and the environment. Today the temptation of Babel reappears in a globalization pursued without fraternity in rapacious forms of neocolonialism, in ideological impositions, and in all those contexts without bonds that reduce human life to commerce. Science itself, when reduced to a technique of power, no longer serves to elevate the human person but instead risks degrading the fruits of human endeavor.

Pete Hegseth delivers thinly-veiled campaign message to US service members, ordering them to vote in the midterms to overwhelm blue cities like Milwaukee and Detroit: “Keep our nation the land of the free!”

Reporter: You're not planning on helping Ken Paxton fundraise at all? Republican Sen. John Cornyn: That's correct. Reporter: Does Ken Paxton deserve to be a senator? Cornyn: I'll leave that up to the voters to decide.

Republican Sen. Roger Marshall's former patient speaks out: "They arrested me because I didn't make a $50 payment to Roger Marshall. I was 8 months pregnant and I said, please, do not handcuff me in front of my 2 year old daughter."

Trump after banning reporters that wrote stories he didn't like: "We appreciate the fair coverage. It's been very fair"

Ms. Rachel on Republican hypocrisy: Let's be a more Christian nation and take away SNAP benefits. Let's be a more Christian nation and put strangers in detention centers. Let's make more money and not help others and deny people healthcare. The SNAP thing just breaks me. You're gonna complain about a child having enough food? I'm so excited that I heard from Troy Jackson, who's running for Senate in Maine, that they have free lunch in Maine schools.

Trump ignores questions from reporters: "Did you call on President Xi to stop buying oil from Iran?" "Why are you banning media outlets?" "Why are US taxpayers paying for ads about you?"
