Published 1:30 am Friday, June 5, 2026 Submitted by the Washington State Office of Attorney General Nick Brown. Attorney General Nick Brown is warning Washington residents about a scam targeting injured, Spanish-speaking workers across the Pacific Northwest. This scam has not yet been documented in Washington, but Washington workers should be aware that they may be targeted. The scam Scammers contact the injured worker via phone, email, video call, text message, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or social media apps and falsely claim to represent government agencies, law firms or courts. Communications may appear official because they include government agency seals, use government agency addresses, include signatures by government officials or identify the caller as a government representative, attorney or judge, but the communications are fraudulent. The scammers tell the worker that they must pay money to receive workers’ compensation benefits or to receive a settlement. Scammers may request payment in the form of gift cards, wire transfer or cryptocurrency. After the worker pays, the scammers cut off contact and take the injured worker’s money. In a variation of this scam, impostors try to convince the worker to appear at a fake online workers’ compensation hearing. The hearing may appear official and

The Massachusetts woman fired from McDonald’s after being seen on video stuffing fries into her mouth before giving them to her ex-girlfriend has been banned from working in the restaurant industry. Dudley District Court Judge Andrew J. Abdella has barred Kaylie M. Santos, 22, of Southbridge, from employment at any restaurant until at least the end of her case, which has garnered national and international attention. In a viral Snapchat video that surfaced on April 9, Santos is seen stuffing French fries into her mouth and heard saying, “When your girlfriend wants French fries today, right… she wants French fries today right,” according to a Southbridge PD incident report. Footage that the operator of the McDonald’s Southbridge restaurant provided to local police also appeared to show Santos spitting into a French fry carton. Once the customer, later identified as Santos’ ex-girlfriend, and the restaurant operator learned of the incident, they alerted police that they wanted to pursue criminal charges against the night manager. On Friday, local authorities found no health concerns or violations at the restaurant, according to the Balducci and Spadea families, who own the franchise location. “The actions of these individuals are unacceptable and do not reflect our

Hunter Biden (Photo: Shutterstock) Unless you’re on X (and seriously, why should you be?), you’ve probably missed the fact that Hunter Biden has been going viral. The son of former President Joe Biden has had a Twitter account since 2013. However, he didn’t post anything on it. That all changed in late May when he began to tweet. I'm Hunter Biden. You've never actually heard from me.— Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) May 19, 2026 He began by posting tweets about being seven years sober and about recovery. Politics, but make it gay! Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more! — Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) June 1, 2026 This won him praise from users from across the political spectrum. Addiction, after all, doesn’t care about someone’s politics. Appreciate that very much.— Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) June 3, 2026 Thanks man. I don’t know you- but I think I like you.— Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) June 1, 2026 Thank you- truly appreciate you.— Hunter Biden (@HunterBiden) June 1, 2026 He also clapped back at Fox News-driven criticism. What are you talking about. I live in LA. My wife is South African and we have spent some time

Nieman Journalism Lab: Twitter/X Punishes Accounts That Post Links Laura Hazard Owen, writing for Nieman Journalism Lab back in April: I used Claude to help me scrape the 200 most recent tweets from 18 large publishers’ X accounts and track the engagement (likes + comments + retweets) on each. Six of those publishers have paywalls: Bloomberg, CNN, Forbes, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. Nine don’t: Al Jazeera English, AP, BBC, Breitbart News, CBS News, Daily Wire, Fox News, NBC News, and Reuters. The last three accounts I looked at — Leading Report, unusual_whales, and Globe Eye News — are not news publishers, but aggregate breaking news in tweets without links. (Here, for example, is an example of a Leading Report tweet: “BREAKING: Iran has halted direct talks with the US, per WSJ.” They’re sometimes referred to as engagement-maxing accounts. These charts make it pretty clear that links in tweets hurt engagement. The connection was so apparent in my analysis that a graph including all 18 publishers is almost unreadable: The traditional, link-loving publishers are clustered in the bottom left corner (lots of links, little engagement) in a nearly indistinguishable mass of bubbles, no matter how large their

Soaps News The 2025-26 TV Season’s Biggest Winner Just Knocked a Fan Favorite Off Its Throne — What Was Everyone Watching This Year? Credit: CBS, Disney, CBS The 2025-2026 television season is officially in the books, which means it’s time for a scorecard check-in to see what everyone was actually watching this year — the numbers don’t lie! Sure, steaming continues to dominate the conversation, but here’s the twist: broadcast TV isn’t quite ready to ride off into the sunset. In fact, some of these ratings suggest traditional television is showing more life than critics expected. So who came out on top in the broadcast television empire, according to Nielsen live-plus-35-day multiplatform figures? Well, the results may surprise you. While Fox didn’t find themselves with a Top 10 show, NBC eked out a win with a series from the One Chicago universe: Chicago Fire was in 10th place. ABC fared better with three scripted shows: Will Trent in eighth place, The Rookie in sixth place, and the delightful High Potential with star Kaitlin Olson the third spot. So, CBS is crowning itself the winner after cementing six out of the Top 10 spots this year. NCIS was in the ninth position
