All eyes will be on‌ Dominic⁤ Calvert-Lewin on his return to

I enjoyed this ‍on Brenden Aaronson. It could be quite the summer for the USMNT international.

This⁣ is the⁤ first Everton game since Wright’s passing, and I would be shocked if the club legend isn’t honoured tonight in some capacity. An FA Cup winner in 1966, ‌league champion⁢ in 1970 and regular England international, Wright made 374‌ appearances ⁤for his boyhood ⁢club. Born in the Norris Green area of Liverpool, he‌ never played for anyone else but⁤ Everton.

Let’s unpick those teams a​ little.

Not unexpectedly, both Gueye and Ndiaye come straight back into the​ Everton ⁤ XI. Rohl can count ‍himself a little unlucky to find himself back on the bench after his villa heroics,⁢ while Barry and McNeil are preferred to Beto ⁢and Dibling. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is available again for the first time since 13 December, but is among the subs. As mentioned in the preamble, Grealish is injured. The home‌ side will line up in a ⁣4-2-3-1.

Just as he was in the‌ wins over Derby and Fulham,⁤ Darlow gets the nod in net for Leeds. Peek⁣ Facundo Buonanotte‍ on the bench for the visitors after ​his loan move from Brighton – ​the Argentinian ‍is one of many attacking options available ⁣to come on with Piroe, Nmecha, Okafor and Gnonto.⁤ Leeds will line up in a 3-5-2, with Bogle and Justin giving the width as the wing backs and Aaronson floating behind Calvert-Lewin.

Biden Announces New Initiative to Combat Online Disinformation Ahead of‍ 2024 Election

President Joe Biden unveiled a⁢ complete plan on January 26, 2026, aimed at ⁢countering the spread of online disinformation and ​protecting‍ the integrity of the upcoming 2024 presidential election. The initiative, detailed in a white House ⁤statement,⁣ focuses on⁢ bolstering partnerships with social media companies, increasing funding for fact-checking organizations, and enhancing public awareness campaigns.

Key components of⁤ the Initiative

  • Increased ​Collaboration with Tech Companies: The governance will work with major social media platforms – including Meta,X (formerly Twitter),and TikTok – to improve​ their content moderation policies and algorithms. A⁤ memorandum of understanding signed on January‍ 26,‌ 2026, commits these companies to faster removal of demonstrably false information related to election procedures and ‍candidates.
  • Funding for Fact-Checkers: The National ‍Science⁢ Foundation will allocate $25 million in grants to independent fact-checking organizations, such as PolitiFact and Snopes, to⁤ expand their⁤ capacity and reach. This funding‌ was authorized by the‌ “Protecting​ Our Elections Act” passed by Congress in November 2025.
  • Public Awareness Campaign: ​A nationwide public service proclamation campaign,budgeted at $10⁣ million and managed by the Department of homeland Security,will educate voters on how to identify and report disinformation. The campaign will launch ⁣on⁤ February 15,2026,and run through Election Day.
  • Research and Growth: The Defense ⁢Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) will ⁣invest‌ $15 million in ‍research to develop new technologies for detecting and countering deepfakes and other forms of synthetic media.

Concerns and Criticisms

The initiative has drawn⁢ criticism from some civil liberties groups who express concerns‌ about potential government overreach and censorship. The American Civil Liberties Union‌ (ACLU)​ released a statement on January 26, 2026, urging the administration to ensure that any efforts to combat disinformation are​ consistent with First ⁣Amendment protections. ‍

Republican lawmakers have also voiced skepticism, arguing that the initiative is a politically motivated attempt to silence conservative voices. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) stated in a press‍ conference on January 26, 2026, that the plan “will inevitably be weaponized against those with dissenting opinions.”

Background

The Biden administration’s focus on disinformation ⁢follows a‌ period of heightened concern about the impact ⁣of false information on democratic processes. A report by⁣ the Brennan⁢ Centre for Justice in December 2025 found ‍that 68% of Americans believe that disinformation is a major threat to the country.The 2020 presidential election was marked ‌by widespread dissemination of false claims about voter fraud and election integrity, contributing to the January 6, 2021, attack‌ on the ‍U.S. Capitol.
