"RFK Jr. Set to Reveal Running Mate for 2024 Election on March 26"

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is targeting politically disaffected, extremely online young men in his bid for the presidency, enlisting celebrities and influencers like NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura as potential vice presidential picks. Embracing an extremely online campaign strategy, Kennedy is making overtures to a specific demographic by aligning with figures known for promoting anti-vaccine views and politically contrarian beliefs. His efforts to appeal to both a conspiratorial base and a more mainstream voting bloc have been persistent, and he's leveraging his presence in online spaces to engage with young, politically disaffected men.

"Deceptive Information Surrounds Ohio Abortion Vote and Issue 1"

In the lead-up to Ohio's fall ballot, misinformation about a reproductive rights measure is being spread on the official government website of the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate. The website, called "On The Record," features attacks against Ohio news outlets, op-ed style columns by Republican state senators, and content generated by the Senate majority's communications staff. Critics argue that this is an improper use of a taxpayer-supported website and that it presents false or misleading narratives about the proposed amendment. Supporters of the constitutional amendment worry that the content posted on the government website might be interpreted by voters as objective information.
