Fans want to reclaim the music and myth of Michael Jackson in the new biopic while critics call for accountability. Still from, which opened April 24. Is truth determined by the size of the audience it reaches? If so, --a new film about the pop singer Michael Jackson that is on track to have the biggest-ever opening for a music biopic, with projected earnings of $70 million at the US box office, despite critics saying it sanitizes the reality of who Jackson actually was--intends to supplant the King of Pop as the apotheosis of artistic virtue.

His Supporters Are Already Looking for the Next Target. "Grok has thoughts on who to look at next." Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel hold a press conference on their prosecution of the Southern Poverty Law Center on April 21, 2026. Get your news from a source that's not owned and controlled by oligarchs. The Justice Department this week announced criminal charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center, alleging that the longtime civil rights watchdog had defrauded its own donors by secretly paying large sums of money to informants within various hate groups.

The Department of Justice has announced that it's intervening on the behalf of xAI in the company's recent lawsuit against the state of Colorado. The law is set to go into effect in June, and the DOJ is now asking a Colorado District Court to declare it unconstitutional. In xAI's original argument, Colorado Bill SB24-205 violated the company's First Amendment rights by forcing its developers to change how they create AI products and compelling them to align their products with Colorado's views on diversity and discrimination. The DOJ acknowledges those concerns in its complaint, but specifically focuses its argument on the idea that the law violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. According to the DOJ, because the law relies on demographics and statistical disparities as evidence of discrimination, it will essentially require developers to distort an AI system's outputs and discriminate based on race, sex, religion and other protected characteristics, a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.

The DOJ joined Elon Musk's xAI in suing Colorado, alleging a state AI regulation law violates the First and Fourteenth amendments by forcing developers to adopt DEI ideology.
