Harris filed an anonymous internal complaint through the company's EthicsPoint reporting system. Harris's supervisor rated her lower than her one comparator and she was terminated on February 4, 2023. At trial, CNN and Warner Brothers Discovery will have to convince a jury that the termination had nothing to do with Harris's accommodation requests, leave use, or the complaints she filed. Among those questions: Harris's supervisor had described her as "a great employee" who "raised the bar" in August 2022 – only two months before rating her as a deficient performer in the review that led to her firing. And the process was overseen by an HR official who was simultaneously the subject of an unresolved internal discrimination complaint Harris had filed.

CNN’s data guru says the Democratic primary for the next presidential election is looking like a “total mess” as it stands now.

A crab shack in Maryland just schooled the national media on patriotism, and the internet loved every second of it. Jimmy’s is owned by a Greek immigrant family that built their American dream the old-fashioned way. On one side, a legacy media outlet chasing clicks by dunking on its own country. When a crab house in Maryland sounds more grounded than a newsroom in New York, people notice. Whether it’s a hot take on our politics, crime, education, or even the secret to surviving our summers, we’re all ears!

Behind the debate over whether Casey Wasserman should resign as the 2028 Olympics chief over 20-year-old correspondences unearthed in the Epstein files is a fraught question that has long haunted the L.A. Games: Will there be enough money? So far, the Olympics committee has backed Wasserman, with allies saying he’s a strong leader and prodigious fundraiser. In addition to sponsorships, the LA28 committee brings in money through ticket sales and licensing agreements. By some measure, the 2028 Games is less of a fiscal gamble for L.A. compared to past Olympics.

The supply chain risk designation would prohibit companies with military contracts from using Anthropic’s products in any of their military work. “I would assume we don’t want to utilize the technology that is the supply chain risk, right? “What it sounds like is that the supply chain risk may not be a legitimate claim, but more punitive because they’re not acquiescing.”

Also, the regime has been an avowed and declared enemy of the United States for decades. That’s because if President Trump goes through with a full-scale attack it will have been the single least-debated voluntary war in living memory, if not ever. And we should be clear, Congress’ failure to greenlight a war doesn’t mean the president is free to launch one. The evidence for hating Trump or being unpatriotic (the same thing in his mind) is not bending to his will. AdvertisementI thought — and continue to think — that Trump’s tariff policy is economic nonsense on stilts.

It’s been nearly three weeks since Nancy Guthrie vanished from her secluded Tucson, Arizona, home in the dead of night, and investigators say they are no closer to identifying a leading theory or motive behind her abduction.

Disneyland Resort relies heavily on California visitors to offset a decline in international tourism, with over 50% of its audience from the state. Samantha Masunaga, Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles TimesDisneyland Resort's high percentage of California visitors has helped mitigate a dip in international tourists, an executive said Thursday. Walt Disney Co. had previously indicated a slowdown in international visitation at its U.S. theme parks in its fiscal first quarter earnings call earlier this month. Because of the large number of California visitors, the company recently expanded its traditional deal for Southern California locals to all residents of the Golden State. To that end, Disneyland Resort will open an immersive theater experience called "Bluey's Best Day Ever!"
