Illustration by Cath Virginia / The Verge | Photos via Getty Images The Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments on a case involving funding for a major broadband subsidy program, the Universal Service Fund (USF). SCOTUS granted cert in a pair of cases called Federal Communications Commission v. Consumers’ Research, and Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband Coalition v. Consumers’ Research, which were consolidated for oral arguments. They center around whether Congress inappropriately delegated lawmaking function to the FCC by letting it set contribution rates for telecommunications companies to pay into the nonprofit Universal Service Administration Company, which manages the USF. It also asks whether the FCC delegated too much authority to a private entity by letting USAC manage the subsidy program. The... Continue reading…

NEW YORK—In a move that sent shockwaves through both tech and media industries, Elon Musk has announced his acquisition of MSNBC, rebranding the iconic network to “MXNBC” and committing to airing Alex Morning Jones on a 24/7 loop. Musk explained his decision during a chaotic Twitter Spaces announcement where half the listeners couldn’t connect. “Mainstream media needs more diversity of thought,” Musk declared. “And who better to provide it than a man who once claimed frogs were turning into Marxists?” A “Bold” Programming Choice Alex Morning Jones, the surreal morning talk show hosted by Alex Jones, features segments like: “Coffee, Chaos, and Conspiracies”: Daily updates on global cabals ruining your breakfast. “This Is Just a Simulation”: A weather report that insists all storms are government-controlled holograms. “Health Tips Big Pharma Doesn’t Want You to Know”: Detoxify with kale smoothies and rage. Critics are already calling it a “bold pivot” for MSNBC, a network known for somber political analysis. Jones himself appeared jubilant, saying, “I knew one day the truth would prevail—and that the globalists at MSNBC would have to bow to my supplement empire.” Current MSNBC Hosts React Rachel Maddow, formerly the network’s flagship host, appeared stunned. “I spent years meticulously fact-checking my reports,” she lamented. “Now they want me to do a segment called Aliens Run the IRS?” Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough took a more diplomatic approach. “It’s… different,” he muttered before excusing himself to purchase bulk colloidal silver. Corporate Vision Musk promised viewers that Alex Morning Jones would be “just the beginning.” Future shows include: “The Deep State Bake-Off”: A cooking show where conspiracy theories are folded into soufflés. “Tesla Time Travel News”: Updates on Tesla’s secret time machine, with Jones predicting the past and future. “The Truth About Mars”: A weekly breakdown of alien colonies Musk claims already exist. When asked if this was a stunt, Musk replied, “Absolutely not. The future of free speech depends on Alex yelling things like ‘The moon is a psyop!’ into the void.” The Reaction Social media has exploded in typical Muskian fashion. Fans of Alex Morning Jones are thrilled, with hashtags like #MSNBConspiracy and #TurnTheFrogsRight trending. Critics, however, have raised concerns about the network’s direction, with some accusing Musk of turning MSNBC into “a live-action fever dream.” What’s Next? Despite the controversy, Musk remains unfazed. “The media has been too boring,” he said while sipping kombucha through a flamethrower. “I’m here to disrupt, entertain, and maybe, just maybe, find out if the Bilderberg Group really runs Starbucks.” As of now, MSNBC has begun replacing its sleek graphics with spinning pyramids and all-seeing eyes. Stay tuned—or don’t. According to Alex Morning Jones, the lizard people already know what you’re watching.

As a woman who has been sexually assaulted by whoever Trump appoints to any cabinet position, I feel it is my duty to share my story and raise awareness about the pervasive issue of sexual assault in politics.  It all started when I was scrolling through the news one day, reading about the latest cabinet appointments by President Trump. As I was reading, I suddenly felt a presence behind me. Before I knew it, a shadowy figure had emerged and forcibly grabbed me from behind. I tried to scream, but no sound would come out. All I could do was stand there, paralyzed with fear, as the figure proceeded to violate me in the most humiliating way possible.  At first, I was too shocked to even process what was happening. But as the figure disappeared just as quickly as they had arrived, I realized that this was no ordinary assault. This was a sexual assault committed by none other than that Trump cabinet appointee.  Since then, I have struggled to come to terms with what happened to me. Every time I see a new cabinet appointee announced by the White House, I am filled with a sense of dread and anxiety, knowing that I could be sexually assaulted again at any moment.  I understand that my story may seem like an extreme example, but the truth is that sexual assault in politics is a far more common occurrence than most people realize. And until we start taking this issue seriously and holding those responsible accountable, it will continue to be a problem that plagues our society.  So, I urge all women who have been sexually assaulted by Trump’s future cabinet appointees to speak out and share their stories. By doing so, we can raise awareness about this critical issue and work together to create a safer, more equitable world for all.  In conclusion, I want to remind everyone that sexual assault is never the victim’s fault, regardless of who the perpetrator may be. We must stand together and support one another in the fight against sexual violence in politics and beyond.
