Comment on Facebook: We're better at policing nudity than hate speech

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is heading to hurricane-battered western North Carolina and wildfire-ravaged Los Angeles on Friday, using the first trip of his second administration to tour areas where politics has clouded the response to deadly disasters. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The Republican president has criticized former President Joe Biden for his administration’s response in North Carolina, and he’s showered disdain on California leaders for water policies that he falsely claimed worsened the recent blazes. Trump is also considering overhauling the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on artificial intelligence Thursday that will revoke past government policies his order says “act as barriers to American AI innovation.” To maintain global leadership in AI technology, “we must develop AI systems that are free from ideological bias or engineered social agendas,” Trump’s order says. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The new order doesn’t name which existing policies are hindering AI development but sets out to track down and review “all policies, directives, regulations, orders, and other actions taken” as a result of former President Joe Biden’s sweeping AI executive order of 2023, which Trump rescinded Monday.

Not even the most miraculous shot of his life was enough to earn Nikola Jokic the fourth quarter off this time. Jokic buried a one-handed, full-court heave at the third-quarter buzzer to give the Nuggets a 25-point lead that almost disappeared Thursday night in a 132-123 win over the visiting Sacramento Kings. “It’s not really a high-percentage shot,” Jokic said.

Nikola Jokic will spend the last days of his 20s in the Bay Area. Jokic is going to his seventh consecutive NBA All-Star Game in February, the league announced Thursday. Denver’s star center was voted in as one of three Western Conference frontcourt starters. The 2025 game will take place Feb. 16 at Chase Center in San Francisco, capping off a weekend of festivities including the usual slam dunk and 3-point contests.

A peek at the Bo Nix offseason checklist: Talk with Drew Brees, chat with Peyton Manning and study acting. The road to the AFC West title goes through Arrowhead and The Academy. This point was driven home during the divisional round as Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes manipulated the rules to his advantage, enabled by years of suspect enforcement. It was so egregious that ESPN analyst Troy Aikman blurted, “Aww, come on!” after Mahomes lured defenders into a roughing call after he danced around for several seconds and slid late.

It hasn’t been a banner season for the Colorado men’s basketball program, and that extends to the attendance numbers. Yet those who have ventured into the CU Events Center have noticed a curiously incomplete design in the northwest corner of the arena. Gone is the mural commemorating the champions of the 2012 Pac-12 Conference tournament.
