TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Facebook on Monday of putting profits over people's safety during the emergencies created by Canada's record wildfire season. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, announced earlier this summer it would keep its promise to block news content from Canada on its platforms because of a new law that requires tech giants to pay publishers for linking to or otherwise repurposing their content online. Fires raging in Canada have pushed tens of thousands of people from their homes and threatened cities such as Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories.

Yesterday, lawyers in Madison filed with the Wisconsin Supreme Court an emergency petition to protect Justice from an unconstitutional impeachment by the state assembly.  Protasiewicz won an outsized victory in the April election, shifting the balance of supreme court power from a conservative to a progressive majority. Since Protasiewicz's election, Speaker Vos and members of the Wisconsin state assembly have stated their intentions to invoke constitutional powers to impeach. An impeachment would effectively short circuit the new progressive majority.

The Glendale Police Department (GPD) in Colorado said there was not enough evidence to charge anyone with a crime after Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant was seen on an Instagram live account displaying what appeared to be a gun at a nightclub on Saturday. The two-time National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star previously said he planned to take some 'time away' and apologized. The GPD said it was made aware of an incident involving 'a prominent NBA player singing and holding what appeared to be a firearm by the butt end of a gun' at Shotgun Willies, a local club, and conducted an investigation.
