Donald Trump made headlines last week, when news broke out that he had been indicted. The news helped him fundraise over $4 million in just 24 hours. Now, politicians and parties are using the indictment to rake in big bucks. Even Meta is benefiting. And, ChatGPT could revolutionize the world, but Italy has some concerns. Plus, dinosaurs had what?!
