The homegrown SoCal-style eatery is accused of unfair competition and trademark infringement, with the 60-year-old food products company accusing the St. Louis restaurant group of a "misleading representation" that is "likely to cause confusion" in the taco market.

The modern authoritarian GOP knows its radical policies are widely unpopular, which is why it increasingly needs to rely on propaganda. That’s also why the party pretends that absolutely any effort to moderate online political propaganda is “censorship.” With young voters turning away from the GOP in record numbers, propaganda, gerrymandering, and race-baiting anti-democratic bullshit […]
