The technology industry was sent into shock last week when Jack Dorsey’s Block, formerly known as Square, announced it would eliminate more than 4,000 positions in what the company described as a radical AI-driven reorganization. However, a former senior executive at the company is raising questions about the true motivations behind these sweeping job cuts. In a recent opinion piece in the New York Times, Aaron…

Tuesday on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) reacted to Democrats’ responses to the U.S. military strikes on Iran.

Thune told reporters he hasn’t yet spoken to Trump since the election returns from Tuesday’s primary came in but indicated he intends to personally redouble his efforts, saying Wednesday that “hopefully” the president will give Cornyn his influential nod. “[If] Trump endorses early, it saves everybody a lot of money, and … 10 weeks of a spirited campaign…

John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton advanced to a runoff on Tuesday, after Cornyn pulled ahead with a narrow lead following a monthslong, bruising battle between the two Republicans.

Trump wrote in a Wednesday afternoon social media post…
