Taxpayer-Funded Trump Ad Violates the Hatch Act

Taxpayer-Funded Trump Ad Violates the Hatch Act A television ad boosting the image of President Donald Trump, which was paid for by government funds, violates laws prohibiting the use of government resources for propaganda, the Hatch Act, and other related laws, according to a complaint filed today by Public Citizen. The complaint, sent to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, takes issue with ads airing in two media markets that include a disclaimer: "Paid for by the U.S. government." Both markets airing the ad contain key districts in the upcoming midterm elections.

FPF comments on White House's defiance of judge's media ban smackdown

FPF comments on White House's defiance of judge's media ban smackdown Hours after Judge Timothy Kelly of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., delivered a resounding defeat to President Trump early this morning, restraining his administration from barring CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House and holding that the ban is likely unconstitutional, the administration defied the order by continuing to deny access to the networks. Kelly held that the press met the "high bar" to show that the ban likely violated the Fifth Amendment's protections for due process. He also rejected the administration's argument that "national security" concerns justified the ban, noting that the news stories the administration pointed to are "routine" and that there is no precedent for applying laws prohibiting disclosure of classified information to reporters.

Groundwork Reveals the Hidden Cost of AI

Groundwork Reveals the Hidden Cost of AI Today, Groundwork Collaborative and Reset Tech released a new report, "The Hidden Costs of AI for American Households," which exposes how artificial intelligence (AI) is already increasing costs for every American in nearly every line of the budget - and how that toll will only grow. AI is already increasing prices for American families, with electronics and electricity bills on the rise due to the AI data center buildout, to groceries and other retail purchases plagued by AI-powered pricing abuses. AI is also making online scams easier to carry out and harder to detect, adding to the estimated $119 billion per year that Americans lose to internet-based scams and cybercrime. The report reveals how corporations are prioritizing profits over affordability. Delta's CEO bragged that AI will increase his airline's profitability by as much as 50%. Tech companies are allowing AI to worsen mental health, which already costs our economy an estimated $282 billion a year. And health insurers are using AI to review claims, leading 60% of doctors to be concerned about increasing denials.
