Supreme Court Cases on Online Speech Regulations
The Supreme Court heard arguments on Monday in two cases challenging big tech's online censorship of conservatives. The cases involve laws from Florida and Texas that aim to prevent social media platforms from suppressing conservative views. The justices seemed sympathetic to the platform's position, with concerns raised about the implications on platforms like Google and Etsy.
Media Coverage of Crime and Immigration Issues
Media coverage regarding the immigration status of Jose Antonio Ibarra, who committed a crime, received varied responses. While some outlets highlighted his illegal status, others downplayed it. The issue of Biden disbanding the Voice office, a Trump-era initiative to assist victims of crimes by migrants, resurfaced, with Trump and Republicans criticizing Biden's handling of immigration policies and its impact on public safety.
Michigan Primaries and Democratic Disillusionment

The Listen to Michigan campaign advocated for Democrat voters to choose uncommitted in protest of Biden's policies. Despite Biden's expected win, signs of fracture in the party, including discontent among younger voters, indicate potential challenges in the upcoming general election.
