Elon Musk’s preschool is the next step in his anti-woke education dreamsPresident-elect Donald Trump announced he will nominate Pam Bondi to be his next attorney general, in a social media post Thursday that touted the former Florida attorney general’s history as a prosecutor who “was very tough on Violent Criminals.” Bondi, if confirmed, would oversee a sprawling Department of Justice responsible for federal criminal prosecution and a wide array of law enforcement. In the role, she could advocate for certain funding priorities, implement internal changes, and shift policy on topics like immigration, voting rights and antitrust enforcement. “As Florida’s first female Attorney General, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the tragedy of Fentanyl Overdose Deaths, which have destroyed many families across our Country,” Trump said in the post. “She did such an incredible job, that I asked her to serve on our Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission during my first Term — We saved many lives!” Trump also said he’s known Bondi for years and described her as “smart” and an “AMERICA FIRST Fighter.” “For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans — Not anymore,” Trump said in the post. “Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again.” Bondi would likely be tasked with implementing Trump’s plans to remake an agency he fumed at during the campaign trail. Trump’s announcement on Thursday came hours after his previous pick for attorney general, former Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, withdrew his name from consideration. Bondi is a more traditional pick for attorney general than Gaetz, whose push for attorney general was dogged by sexual misconduct allegations and the specter of an unreleased ethics report. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, praised the selection on social media. Sign up to get our free daily email of the biggest stories! “Well done, Mr. President. Picking Pam Bondi for Attorney General is a grand slam, touchdown, hole in one, ace, hat trick, slam dunk, Olympic gold medal pick,” Graham posted. “She will be confirmed quickly because she deserves to be confirmed quickly.” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, a member of the Judiciary Committee, offered Bondi congratulations on social media. “I look forward to supporting her nomination in the Senate,” Lee said. Bondi, a Florida native, was the first woman to serve as the state’s chief legal officer and held the role from 2011 to 2019, according to her biography on Ballard Partners, a lobbying firm. That bio said Bondi “was one of Florida’s most accomplished Attorneys General” and she “earned a reputation among her colleagues as one of the toughest law enforcement officials in the country.” It said her work included fighting opioid abuse and cracking down on “pill mills,” combating human trafficking and taking on Medicare fraud, among other topics. In Jan. 2020, Bondi served on Trump’s defense team on his first impeachment, on an alleged scheme to hold up military aid to Ukraine until Kyiv agreed to investigate 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The Senate the next month acquitted Trump on two articles of impeachment. Bondi has been in Trump’s circle for years. In 2016, Bondi endorsed then-reality TV veteran Trump for president ahead of her state’s primary. “Donald and I have been friends for many years,” she said at a rally in Tampa, where he called her “the most popular person in Florida, by far.” On the national stage, she’s fought for a law banning same-sex marriage and against a ballot initiative that would have legalized medical marijuana. She also spearheaded the lawsuit that challenged the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act and joined other attorneys general in fighting against Obama administration efforts on energy and environment mandates, and immigration.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – California, home to some of the largest technology companies in the world, would be the first U.S. state to require mental health warning labels on social media sites if lawmakers pass a bill introduced Monday. The legislation sponsored by state Attorney General Rob Bonta is necessary to bolster safety for children online, supporters say, but industry officials vow to fight the measure and others like it under the First Amendment. Warning labels for social media gained swift bipartisan support from dozens of attorneys general, including Bonta, after U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called on Congress to establish the requirements earlier this year, saying social media is a contributing factor in the mental health crisis among young people. Recommended Videos “These companies know the harmful impact their products can have on our children, and they refuse to take meaningful steps to make them safer,” Bonta said at a news conference Monday. “Time is up. It’s time we stepped in and demanded change.” State officials haven't provided details on the bill, but Bonta said the warning labels could pop up once weekly. Up to 95% of youth ages 13 to 17 say they use a social media platform, and more than a third say that they use social media “almost constantly,” according to 2022 data from the Pew Research Center. Parents’ concerns prompted Australia to pass the world’s first law banning social media for children under 16 in November. “The promise of social media, although real, has turned into a situation where they’re turning our children’s attention into a commodity,” Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, who authored the California bill, said Monday. “The attention economy is using our children and their well-being to make money for these California companies.” Lawmakers instead should focus on online safety education and mental health resources, not warning label bills that are “constitutionally unsound,” said Todd O’Boyle, a vice president of the tech industry policy group Chamber of Progress. “We strongly suspect that the courts will set them aside as compelled speech,” O’Boyle told The Associated Press. Victoria Hinks' 16-year-old daughter, Alexandra, died by suicide four months ago after being “led down dark rabbit holes” on social media that glamorized eating disorders and self-harm. Hinks said the labels would help protect children from companies that turn a blind eye to the harm caused to children’s mental health when they become addicted to social media platforms. “There's not a bone in my body that doubts social media played a role in leading her to that final, irreversible decision,” Hinks said. “This could be your story." Common Sense Media, a sponsor of the bill, said it plans to lobby for similar proposals in other states. California in the past decade has positioned itself as a leader in regulating and fighting the tech industry to bolster online safety for children. The state was the first in 2022 to bar online platforms from using users’ personal information in ways that could harm children. It was one of the states that sued Meta in 2023 and TikTok in October for deliberately designing addictive features that keep kids hooked on their platforms. Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, also signed several bills in September to help curb the effects of social media on children, including one to prohibit social media platforms from knowingly providing addictive feeds to children without parental consent and one to limit or ban students from using smartphones on school campus. Federal lawmakers have held hearings on child online safety and legislation is in the works to force companies to take reasonable steps to prevent harm. The legislation has the support of X owner Elon Musk and the President-elect’s son, Donald Trump Jr . Still, the last federal law aimed at protecting children online was enacted in 1998, six years before Facebook’s founding.
