A Democratic National Committee social media post appeared to snub the party's most recent occupant of the Oval Office, former President Joe Biden. "Happy Easter!" reads a post on the DNC's official X account, which included photos of former Presidents Jimmy Carter, John F. Kennedy, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton. But the post did not include a photo of Biden, the party's most recent president.


Easter is that magical time of year when chocolate bunnies mysteriously lose their ears, and kids suddenly develop the speed of Olympic sprinters during egg hunts. Families gather to celebrate with colorful eggs, tasty treats, and, of course, the time-honored tradition of sharing Easter Dad Jokes that are so cheesy, they could outshine a plate of nachos. And what's Easter without dads slipping in their classic one-liners between bites of ham? Whether they're cracking yolks about egg-cellent adventures or delivering puns so bad they make the Easter Bunny consider early retirement, Easter Dad Jokes add that special dose of groan-worthy humor to the holiday fun. read more

A school board meeting in California Thursday night included protesters chanting "Hail Satan!" in support of transgender athletes in girls sports. The Chino Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) board meeting in San Bernardino County featured opposing protesters delivering impassioned speeches on the issue, and many speeches cited biblical scripture. At one point, police escorted a woman who was there to oppose trans inclusion, citing the Bible, out of the meeting. Footage from the meeting shows several protesters there to support trans inclusion, chanting "Hail Satan!" CVUSD school board President Sonja Shaw condemned the protesters' chants. "Yes, public comments did include speakers saying, Hail Satan,'" the school district said in a statement.

Google is starting to have a monopoly on getting called out for having a monopoly. For the second time in under one year, the tech giant has been deemed to be operating an illegal monopoly, this time for its online advertising technology. Judge Leonie Brinkema of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia issued a 115-page ruling on Thursday that found Google violated antitrust laws to establish a firm hold over the online advertising space, allowing the company to charge higher prices and keep a larger portion of ad sales. In his ruling, Judge Brinkema said that Google was "willfully acquiring and maintaining monopoly power" over parts of the web advertising business by connecting its ad server business, DoubleClick, used by publishers to sell ads on their platforms, to its ad exchange operations, Google AdX, which sells ad space off auction-style to the highest bidder.
