Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is out of the race after failing to gain enough votes to progress to April’s run-off

 
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has lost her re-election bid, failing to gain enough votes to progress through to a run-off election.

It’s a stunning fall from grace for a candidate who won all 50 of the city’s wards just four years ago.

Experts say issues with a powerful teacher’s union and rising crime rates throughout the city have ultimately led to her demise.

The Associated Press has declared Paul Vallas, a more moderate Democrat and Brandon Johnson, a liberal teacher’s union organiser, have secured the two spots in April’s run-off.

Lightfoot ran in third place and conceded the race shortly before 9pm local time.

The outgoing mayor told supporters that she has congratulated her opponents and that she appreciated the love she has been shown during the campaign. #trending #featured

EU fines Elon Musk’s platform X €120 million for DSA violations, highlighting tech scrutiny and potential regulatory clashes.


In a landmark ruling, the European Union has imposed a €120 million fine on Elon Musk’s social media platform X, citing violations of new digital regulations under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This fine underscores the EU’s increasing scrutiny of tech giants and sets the stage for a potential clash between Elon Musk, the European Commission, and even political figures like former President Trump.

Chris Berg from RMIT University joins us to break down the reasons behind the fine, including X’s controversial handling of the blue tick verification system, and what this means for transparency and user rights on digital platforms.

We also explore the broader implications of this ruling for other tech platforms like TikTok and how the EU is asserting its regulatory authority on an international stage.
