Elon Musk has been found liable for attempting to drive down Twitter’s stock price ahead of his $44 billion takeover of the company four years ago, a federal jury in San Francisco decided Friday.
Attorneys said the world’s wealthiest person will owe an estimated $2.1 billion in damages to former shareholders in the company, who say they lost out on earnings when they sold their stocks at deflated prices amid Musk’s public waffling over his 2022 acquisition deal.

Trump Looks Increasingly Desperate to Restrict Voting Rights – Mother Jones
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/03/trump-attack-on-voting-rights-save-act/
Donald Trump threatened to withhold his signature from all bills until Congress passes a GOP-led voting bill that implements voter restrictions ahead of the November midterms.
The bill, called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE America Act, requires individuals to show citizenship documents to register to vote and strict forms of photo ID to cast a ballot.
The bill would potentially block tens of millions of Americans from voting. Nine percent of American citizens, or approximately 21 million people, don’t have ready access to citizenship documents. The bill may impact millions of US citizens in other ways: tens of millions of women who took their partner’s last name, for example, typically do not have a birth certificate that matches their legal name could. They would, at best, find it more difficult to register and, more likely, be denied their right to vote.
Moreover, the bill would require states to send their voter rolls, including personal information, to the Department of Homeland Security so that the agency can cross-check it with its own citizenship verification system.

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/03/markwayne-mullin-dhs-noem-tweets/
Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, President Donald Trump’s next pick for Homeland Security secretary, consistently uses his social media platforms to share anti-abortion and anti-trans content.
Mullin, a former MMA fighter who has long championed Trump and thinks of him as a “true friend,” has repeatedly referred to abortion as “murder.” Last month, he shared a clip on Instagram saying he would be arrested for “assault” of a “high school male pretending to be a girl” if a transgender wrestler went up against his daughter in the sport

In the newly-published documents, the victim described how when she was approximately 13 - 15, Trump put her head "down to his penis" and she "bit the s*** out of it." She alleged that Trump struck her and said something to the effect of "get this little b**** the hell out of here." There are still at least 37 missing pages related to the sexual abuse of this particular child by #Trump.

Musk to take stand in Twitter shareholder trial | AP News
https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-twitter-lawsuit-shareholders-stock-3fa8783666737839cdd7331fec1bf61d
Elon Musk is expected to take the stand in a shareholder trial on Wednesday in San Francisco, where he’s accused of making false and misleading statements that drove down Twitter’s stock price before he bought the social media platform for $44 billion in 2022.
The lawsuit contends that Musk violated federal securities laws by making false, public statements that “were carefully calculated to drive down the price of Twitter stock.”
Musk reached a deal to buy Twitter in April 2022. On May 13, however, he declared his plan “temporarily on hold” and said he needs to pinpoint the number of spam and fake accounts on the platform. Twitter’s stock tumbled as a result. A few days later, he tweeted that the deal “cannot go forward” and claimed that almost 20% of Twitter accounts were “fake,” according to the lawsuit.
Musk’s May 13 tweet was “false because the buyout was not, in fact, ‘temporarily on hold,’” the lawsuit says.

'One year of failure.' The Lancet slams RFK Jr.’s first year as health chief : NPR

One of the world's leading medical journals has issued a scathing rebuke of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to mark his first year leading the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The editorial — titled "Robert F. Kennedy Jr: 1 year of failure" — appears in the latest issue of the Lancet.
A quote from the piece marks an otherwise blank front cover: "The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 year might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm."
The journal's editorial board catalogues many of the controversial actions taken under Kennedy's watch, including the dismissal of agency employees, "revisions of guidelines and recommendations contradicting decades of established science," cuts to cutting-edge scientific research, the undermining of vaccine policy and promotion of "junk science and fringe beliefs."
