Federal Judge Orders Dem Win Certified In NC Supreme Court Race
Six months after Election Day, a federal judge ordered the North Carolina Board of Elections to certify Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs as the winner of the fiercely contested race for her seat on the state Supreme Court.
Riggs has been clinging to a narrow 734-vote lead and fighting off efforts from Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin to flip that result through all manner of machinations and after-the-fact changes to the rules.
In a new opinion Monday, U.S. District Judge Richard Myers thoroughly rejected Griffin’s attempts to rewrite the election rules after the election was held: “That principle will be familiar to anyone who has played a sport or board game. You establish the rules before the game. You don’t change them after the game is done,” Myers ruled.

Mattel warns of price hikes after Trump reiterates that kids can deal with fewer dolls
Asked whether tariffs could lure more toy manufacturing back to the U.S., the company’s CEO said, “We don’t see that happening.”
Mattel said it’s considering raising prices on U.S. toy shoppers, a warning that comes one day after President Donald Trump doubled down on comments that American children don’t need more than a handful of dolls.
“Toys are such an essential part of children’s lives,” Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz told CNBC Tuesday morning.
While the maker of Barbie dolls and Hot Wheels cars is “committed to the uninterrupted supply of quality products at a wide range of affordable price points,” he said, Trump’s tariffs have put price hikes on the table: “Where necessary, we will be taking pricing action in the U.S.”

President Trump’s Media Company Is Offering Movies About ‘Lizard People’ And Other Wild Conspiracy Theories
Less than two minutes into the movie, the narrator makes a shocking claim.
“The evidence we are about to present to you has the potential to rewrite thousands of years of human history. It will present evidence that suggests ancient serpent or lizard-like aliens came to earth thousands of years ago,” the narrator says. “We’ll also present evidence that these ancient aliens are still among us today.”
This bizarre narrative echoes a paranoia about shadowy reptilians that has persisted for decades on the absolute fringes of the conspiracy theory movement. However, in this case, the story of “serpent or lizard-like aliens” who are secretly wielding influence over the human race isn’t coming from some pamphlet or dark corner of the internet. It is among the most watched films available for streaming on a service run by a multibillion dollar media company that is owned by the President of the United States.
