WorkWorkWorkWorkFretting About Election-Year Deep Fakes, States Roll Out New Rules for A.I. Content
 In Arizona, the State Senate and State House have passed their own versions of bills that would ban the use of deep fakes, or artificial images.

Repeat violations would be a felony. WorkWorkWith Nicole Shanahan, R.F.K. Jr. Makes a New Play for the Disaffected
 “The very failure of both parties to do their job, to protect their founding values, has contributed to the decline of this country in my lifetime,” said Ms. Shanahan, who described herself as a lifelong Democrat. “Maybe that’s why I see so many Republicans disillusioned with their party as I become disillusioned with mine. If you are one of those disillusioned Republicans, I welcome you to join me, a disillusioned Democrat, in this movement to unify and heal America.” WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWhat We Know About the Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse in Baltimore
 The 985-foot-long cargo vessel, called The Dali, was leaving the Port of Baltimore when it lost power and issued a mayday call just before hitting a critical component of the bridge, known as a pylon or pier.

 When the Key Bridge opened in 1977, the Harbor Tunnel was constantly clogged with traffic, reflecting the increased commuting among the fast-growing suburbs of Baltimore and along the I-95 corridor. The bridge was a release valve for the traffic and a godsend for the working-class communities that sat on either end of it. They now had a direct route to the jobs at the plants and distribution centers that line the Harbor. WorkWorkBirmingham-Southern College to Close After Failing to Secure State Loan
 Daniel Coleman, the school’s president, had proposed an ambitious plan to use the loan as a bridge to stay open while the college sought to replenish its endowment with commitments from private donors.

WorkWorkEngineers Raise Questions About Bridge’s Construction as Inquiry Begins
 Yet the collapse in Baltimore on Tuesday might have been avoided, some of the engineers said, if the piers were adequately equipped with blocking devices with a self-explanatory name: fenders. In bridge engineering, fenders can be anything from simple pyramids of rocks piled around the pylons to major concrete rings padded with slats of wood, designed to shield the bridge’s supports from damage by water or collisions.

Work4 Takeaways From the Abortion Pill Arguments

Trump. WorkWhat Does It Mean When a ‘State of Emergency’ Is Declared?

WorkIt Can Take Years to Repair Bridges After a Collapse
 In 2001, barges struck the Queen Isabella Causeway bridge that connected Port Isabel to South Padre Island in Texas, killing eight people and sending a section of the structure plummeting into a lagoon in the Gulf of Mexico.
