What A Day - The DeSantis Documents

Hundreds of documents containing detailed debate advice seemingly intended for Gov. Ron DeSantis were posted online this week, according to reporting by The New York Times. The documents – which were later taken down – were posted by Axiom Strategies, the company owned by the chief strategist for DeSantis's Super PAC.

Earlier this month, a Texas woman was arrested and charged with threatening to kill U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan — the judge currently overseeing Trump’s election interference case. Plus, the Fulton County Sheriff's Office is investigating targeted threats against members of the grand jury that indicted Trump and 18 others earlier this week.

And in headlines: Maui authorities released the identities of three more wildfire victims, Hurricane Hilary is headed north toward California and the Southwest region of the U.S., and Little Rock will continue offering A.P. African American Studies despite guidelines advising otherwise from Arkansas officials.

The Daily Signal - Iowa AG on How California Is Trying to Use Its ‘Market Power to Change How We Farm’

Iowa is calling on Congress to prevent California from overregulating the agricultural sector.



"California trying to use their market power to change how we farm, [and] I think that violates the Constitution," Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird says.



California's Proposition 12 regulations, implemented in 2022, "require veal calves, breeding pigs, and egg-laying hens to be housed in systems that comply with specific standards for freedom of movement, cage-free design, and specified minimum floor space," according to the California state government.



The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a challenge to Proposition 12 in May, leaving the law in place. Now, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and 10 other GOP governors have sent a letter to Congress asking lawmakers to protect the "nation's agricultural interests from states that are working to put onerous and unfounded regulations on livestock producers that will ultimately increase food costs and hurt farming operations." 



Bird says Iowa will continue to "stand up for not just farmer's ability to farm, but anybody that wants to do business and not be told what to do by a big, liberal state like California."



Bird joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss the fight against Proposition 12. She also discusses the court battle over Iowa's fetal heartbeat law that would protect babies in the womb starting at about six weeks of pregnancy.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - MONEY REIMAGINED: Empowering Tomorrow’s Internet | Decentralized Storage and AI in a Changing Data Landscape With Frank McCourt

At the beginning of the internet, there was no way to share data. Decentralized storage was not possible. Now there are multiple ways to store data in a ‘Shared’ state. 

With AI algorithms now consuming vast amounts of personal and intellectual data, the prospect of the exploitation of that data is daunting. 

In this short unique episode of "Money Reimagined," Michael Casey is joined by Football Club owner and Philanthropist Frank McCourt. He is also the founder of Project Liberty, an urgent initiative to repair the web. 

Currently, Casey and McCourt collaborate on a joint book endeavor, with Frank elaborating on his insights during a casual lunch conversation. He delves into the Internet's transformation into a data economy, the value of personal information, and the impact of Artificial Intelligence algorithms and machine learning on the realm of intellectual property and copyright ownership. 

Join us as we envision a more equitable digital landscape through decentralized storage, personal data security, and AI synergy.


Money Reimagined has been produced and edited by senior producer Michele Musso and our executive producer is Jared Schwartz. Our theme song is “The News Tonight ” by Shimmer.
