Challenging Musk Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner filed a lawsuit to halt Elon Musk's $1 million giveaway to swing state voters. The suit accuses the tech billionaire and his America PAC supporting former President Donald Trump's candidacy of "running an illegal lottery."
The case is based on Pennsylvania's lottery and consumer protection laws. Krasner, a Democrat, clarified in the complaint that it was not about state and federal laws that prohibit vote-buying. Specifically, the district attorney alleged that Musk failed to meet Pennsylvania's requirements for lottery operators, which mandate publishing a "complete set of lottery rules" and detailing measures to protect participants' personal information. He also raised concerns that the selection of winners may have been rigged.
The lawsuit comes after Musk announced the eighth winner of his super PAC's $1 million prize in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and doubled down on his pledge to give out awards to registered voters in seven battleground states every day until Election Day. (Full Story) | |
Unvaccinated Workers Granted Big Compensation Rail transit officials in California's Bay Area have been ordered to pay more than $7 million to transit workers who were fired because they refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine years ago.
On Oct. 23, a federal jury in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California sided with six former San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) workers who had refused to get the vaccine for religious purposes.

Though it's often overshadowed by more famous landmarks like the Washington Monument or Mount Rushmore, the National Monument to the Forefathers pays homage to the unflinching character and determination of the Mayflower Pilgrims that settled in the area.
Designed by 19th-century artist Hammatt Billings, the monument represents the enduring ideals that the Pilgrims prioritized and encapsulates the beliefs that guided the founding of the United States. Personifications of faith, liberty, law, morality, and education adorn the granite structure.
Thanks to the efforts of advocates like filmmaker Kirk Cameron, this monument has recently recieved increased attention. It reminds us that America's story isn't just a tale of historical achievement. It's also a testament to the moral and spiritual convictions that built and continue to shape our nation. | | | | | EPOCH TV | | | | | | OPINION | | | | | | EPOCH FUN | | | |
