Google is using its search monopoly to coerce schools into adopting AI. This highlights the danger of allowing an unregulated monopolist to control an essential service.
Multiple courts have found Google liable for violating antitrust laws, and this latest move shows it remains unchastened.
As the public increasingly pushes back against the use of AI in schools, Google is making clear it will punish those who don’t fall in line.
Breaking: Google will turn off web search for schools that opt out of A.I. for kids.

If you're listening to Rachel Maddow right now, you'll understand exactly why Elon Musk desperately needs a presidential pardon.
His Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) attempted to scrape personal data on the American people from every federal agency, aiming to rig the 2026 midterm elections. The Trump regime wanted to ensure they could never be voted out of power — and Musk was central to this authoritarian takeover.
However, the "Frankenstein list" compiled by DOGE was so deeply flawed and riddled with errors that even the fascist-friendly Roberts Supreme Court rejected it.

All across the country, I’ve heard from folks who are sick and tired of what they’re seeing from politicians right now. This Election Day, we have the power to vote for the candidates who will bring about the change we need.

People need to stop looking at lines like this and thinking wow this is so awesome so many people are voting and start seeing these insanely long lines as what they are- a form of voter suppression.

.@AbdulElSayed is totally making his opposition look backwoods as hell with his brain, his caring and pure logic in this time for citizens in his state. Citizens want smart courageous leadership especially those stuck in a time of negligence…

Talarico has Musk funding his opponent’s campaign and Putin funding social media slanders against him — Talarico must be something special to have the world’s two most powerful oligarchs lined up against him.

Rep. Haley Stevens’ staff is right to resign in disgust. They understand that the election in Michigan is far more important than Haley’s fragile ego and that all of us must stand together to elect Abdul, defeat Rogers and end the Republican rubber-stamp control of the Senate.
New: Statement from Haley Stevens’ chief of staff Justin German confirms many of her team have resigned & they back Abdul El-Sayed for #MISen
“We are shocked and heartbroken by Congresswoman Stevens’ decision to support Mike Rogers.”

The chair of Michigan’s Democratic Party has issued a scathing statement against Congresswoman Haley Stevens.
The statement says she has “abandoned everything she claims to care about.”
And the party rejects attempts by Stevens “and bad-faith actors” to undermine their momentum.
Orlando Sánchez retweeted
This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens.
Senate Democrats are united in our support for Abdul El-Sayed, because we know he will fight for the economic interests of working families in Michigan, unlike Mike Rogers, who is a tool of Donald Trump and billionaire donors.
Orlando Sánchez retweeted
One reason that some establishment Dems are wary of Abdul is that he is a talented, brilliant, and dogged politician who will be a nationally impactful Senator.

Statement from Nancy Pelosi on Haley Stevens’ endorsement of Mike Rogers:
“Haley Stevens has chosen to dangerously betray Michigan families’ healthcare, freedoms and future with her horrific endorsement of Mike Rogers. Abdul El-Sayed must win — because Michigan and our country deserve better.”

Michigan, let’s win this together.

I spoke with Haley Stevens yesterday.
Feeling a bit absurd in pointing out the obvious and being far kinder than I should have been, I reminded her that the outcome of this senate race will be viewed in the light of a future Supreme Court vacancy, and I expressed a hope that all of us understand the stakes.
She assured me she's supporting Dr. El-Sayed, sent me a video of a recent speech she gave blasting Mike Rogers and said this: "Still stands. I promise."
She also said she's been sending this video to other folks to make it clear where she stands on this race.
Again: that was yesterday.
I have known Haley Stevens for years. I have counted her as a friend and an ally. We've had many thoughtful conversations about this country, and she has never failed to remind me that her mother is a fan of my writing.
Whatever other political differences we have, she has always made it clear to me she would stand with LGBTQ people. It was a red line she refused to cross.
Instead, she has made the inexplicable decision to endorse a man who views LGBTQ Americans as second-class citizens unworthy of full equality.
I can't help but wonder what her mother must be thinking right now.
I have no idea what has happened to the person I thought I knew, but clearly, she has completely taken leave of her senses in endorsing a Republican who is little more than a Trump sycophant -- less than 24 hours after promising me that she has not wavered from the bigger picture.
I am disgusted with her cynicism and cowardice in this moment. God forgive me for trusting her.
If you're a Michigan voter and as disgusted as I am, get to your polling place and vote for Dr. El-Sayed.
