New York Mayor Mamdani endorsements test Democrats' appetite for far-left candidates

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's push to remake the Democratic Party into a democratic socialist powerhouse faces a primary election test on Tuesday.

US Supreme Court won't let Rastafarian man shaved bald in prison sue guards

The U.S. Supreme Court refused on Tuesday to let a Rastafarian man sue state prison officials in Louisiana after guards held him down and shaved him bald in violation of his religious beliefs in a case brought under a federal law protecting incarcerated people from religious discrimination.The court in a 6-3 ruling powered by its conservative justices upheld a lower court's decision to dismiss Damon Landor's lawsuit because it found the statute at issue did not permit him to sue the individual prison officials and guards for monetary damages. Landor's religion requires him to let his hair gro

Dozens drown, schools close, heat records set to be annihilated: Europe has a major heat problem and it’s only getting worse

Relentless, deadly heat is tightening its grip on Europe, with temperature records expected to not just fall but be obliterated this week. Scientists warn this extreme heat is a huge problem for Europe and a wake up call to a new reality.Europe is the planet’s fastest-warming continent, heating at around two to three times the global average, yet it’s woefully underprepared.

From LA to Scottsdale: The Founder Behind AdDynamix Is Building the Bridge Between AI and Business Tools

An LA digital advertising veteran of 28 years has moved to Scottsdale and is building what he calls the missing piece between business software and the AI assistants people now use every day. SCOTTSDALE, AZ.

Because their tools don’t talk to ChatGPT or Claude. Their accountant still pulls
