Republicans publicly bash Bud Light, quietly pocket Bud Light money

For months, right-wing political figures have targeted Bud Light, condemning the beer — and its parent company, Anheuser-Busch — as irredeemably "woke."

Florida teachers told to remove books from classroom libraries or risk felony prosecution

Teachers in Manatee County, Florida, are being told to make their classroom libraries — and any other "unvetted" book — inaccessible to students, or risk felony prosecution. The new policy is part of an effort to comply with new laws and regulations championed by Governor Ron DeSantis (R). It is based on the premise, promoted by right-wing advocacy groups, that teachers and librarians are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies.
