• President Donald Trump was sued over the early access service for his Truth Social posts.
• The federal lawsuit slams the service as “profoundly corrupt” and unconstitutional.
• Trump Media’s interim CEO said it has signed more than 10 customers paying up to $100,000 a month.

President Donald Trump was sued Wednesday over a new service for his social media platform, Truth Social, that charges subscribers up to $100,000 a month for early access to his posts and those of other prominent users.

The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court, alleges that the sale of faster access to what the interim CEO of Truth Social’s parent, Trump Media, has called “market-moving” posts is “profoundly corrupt” and illegal.

“President Donald Trump is charging $100,000 per month for advance access to his official government announcements on Truth Social, the social media platform he owns,” the lawsuit says, adding, “This scheme is extraordinary, corrupt, and unconstitutional, and Plaintiffs bring this case to stop it.”

The lawsuit, brought by The Intercept Media nonprofit news organization and the nonprofit Freedom of the Press Foundation, says that Trump “stands to gain financially by giving ‘market-moving’ government information to those who are willing and able to pay his personal company.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit by Business Insider.

Last month, Trump Media announced it would launch a service called Truth API, describing it as a business-to-business data feed that would provide customers with faster access to posts from the highest-ranking Truth Social accounts, including Trump, who has 13 million followers.

In Trump Media’s first earnings call on Monday, interim CEO Kevin McGurn said that since the announcement, the company has signed more than 10 customers, “primarily high-frequency trading firms,” at rates ranging from $60,000 to $100,000 to a month.

“We’re also in active conversations with hyperscalers, some of the largest news organizations, and developers of large language models, and we are evaluating opportunities in the prediction market space for data licensing,” McGurn said.

Trump API, the interim CEO explained, “provides a machine-readable feed of publicly available Truth Social posts from the platform’s top accounts in milliseconds.”

Customers will get “published and publicly available posts fractionally faster,” he said.

The lawsuit against Trump slams the service as an “illegal scheme” that violates the First and Fifth Amendments.

“There is no legitimate interest, let alone a significant one, in permitting President Trump to profit from selling government information,” the lawsuit says.

East London’s Aldgate neighborhood, a mix of dull high-rise offices, fried chicken shops, and apartments, isn’t the buzziest part of town. Not until Wednesday afternoon.

On the main street, hundreds of people had gathered in a line outside an unassuming store. Teenagers filmed the crowd on their phones, and office workers in shirts stood watching in the stifling 91 degree heat. People kept arriving at the back, asking the same question, “Is this the line?”

They weren’t waiting for a new restaurant to open or a sold-out show, but to get into a convenience store rumored to be selling one of the city’s hottest commodities: a pair of solar eclipse glasses.

In mere hours at around 7:12 p.m., the best partial eclipse in the UK since 1999 would be visible, with more than 90% of the Sun obscured by the moon. Londoners grumbled it had barely crossed their radars. The glasses were what stood between them watching the eclipse — a welcome distraction from brutal heatwaves and another new Prime Minister — straight on or resorting to seeing its shadow through a colander.

For many of them, it was already too late.

A secondary eclipse glasses market materialized on the sidewalk

At the start of the week, single pairs of eclipse glasses, typically costing a few bucks each, were already unavailable for delivery before the eclipse on Amazon Prime. Opticians, supermarkets, and museums across the city had also sold out.

Alexander Searle, 38, tried several stores on his local high street in Kensington, west London, on Tuesday. “All sold out,” he said. On Wednesday, he heard that a store on Bond Street in the city center still had some glasses in stock. “I was queuing for about 10 to 15 minutes,” Searle said. “It cost £17.97 for three glasses.”

The AM2PM Convenience Store in Aldgate, from where the huge line snaked, went viral in the days preceding the eclipse as one of the last places in London stocking the glasses. By 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the shutters were pulled down. They had sold out.

That left Ali K, the owner of Four Seasons Barbers next door, to break the news to the crowd.

“There are no more glasses!” he shouted down the line. “You’re wasting your time, go and enjoy the sunshine!”

Almost no one moved.

Inside his shop, Ali was interrupted every 20 seconds or so by a head popping around the door, demanding answers about the glasses. He was polite each time, “Sorry, they’re all gone,” he would say with a sad shake of his head.

Ali estimated that thousands of people had lined up around the block since Monday. “We didn’t even know that it was gonna get this crazy. This kind of demand, I’ve never seen ever in my life.”

Back outside, word had spread that the shop had sold out, and a secondary market materialized on the sidewalk. Suddenly, people started holding up pairs of glasses, shouting their prices. One man wanted £100 ($135) for two. People groaned.

Emmanuel, 25, saw the mayhem on TikTok and had rushed down to sell his spare glasses. He had bought five pairs on Amazon on August 6 for $21, and sold two for $54 each. “Capitalism at its finest,” he joked.

In suburban Clapham to the south of the capital, The Windmill pub came up with a peak-London solution to the great eclipse glasses shortage: giving away a free pair with every Hugo Spritz ordered.

The idea, said Lucy Dunnill, the pub’s assistant manager, came simply from “spritz” rhyming with “eclipse.”

“We just ordered some for a bit of fun, really,” she said.

Dunnill said the pub bought a box of about 40 pairs last week before they had any idea they’d become such a hot commodity. “I think a lot of people forgot about ordering the glasses online,” she said. “It’s been crazy. There were queues right around the bend.”

Colander sales are through the roof

For those who can’t get their hands on glasses, there are some makeshift ways to watch the eclipse safely, including using a colander to project its shadow onto a sheet of paper. And this DIY fix seems to have caught on.

Google searches for colanders surged on Wednesday, with interest up 350% over the preceding 24 hours and more than 5,000% compared with the same time the previous week. That interest appeared to translate into sales.

“Colander sales have surged nearly 40% compared to last year, as shoppers prepare for tonight’s eclipse,” a spokesperson for John Lewis, one of the UK’s largest retailers, told Business Insider.

“We’ve still got plenty of stock for anyone wanting to view this solar phenomenon safely, and, unlike eclipse glasses, you can use it to strain your spaghetti for dinner afterwards.”

• Cliff Tan, who runs a popular interior design YouTube channel, promoted an AI company on Monday.
• In the video, Tan used software to animate a hand-drawn floor plan.
• After a backlash from fans, Tan posted a video apologizing for posting the ad.

Another YouTube creator is facing online backlash over the use of artificial intelligence.

Cliff Tan, who runs a popular interior design YouTube channel called “Dear Modern” that has 2.4 million subscribers and a corresponding TikTok account with 3.6 million followers, posted a video on Monday in which he apologized for promoting an AI company.

“Yesterday I made a video on AI, and it disappointed many of you,” Tan said in the video. “I’m really sorry about that.”

Tan’s apology comes a week after Hank Green, one of the internet’s most reliable content creators, apologized to fans for relying on AI “too heavily” when researching his videos. He later shared a new AI policy for his channel.

In Tan’s case, he posted a paid advertisement for a Chinese AI company called “Dreamina,” which allows users to generate animated videos with written prompts. In the ad, Tan uploads hand-drawn sketches to the software before transforming them into an animated floor plan.

Though Tan uses his own sketches as source material and says in the video that he doesn’t “like AI” because “it makes you forget to use your brain,” the video was quickly flooded with negative comments.

“No, Mr. Cliff. Please. Don’t sell yourself to AI,” one comment with 1,700 likes reads. Others criticized the “Dreamina” company itself, which is owned by ByteDance.

In a follow-up comment on the ad, Tan said he thought the software “would be genuinely useful to fellow designers.”

“I just don’t want you guys, with the right sentiments, to be martyrs in a world that is increasingly leaving us behind,” he wrote.

As tech companies push AI to become a ubiquitous part of daily life, critics worry it could impact critical thinking skills. In 2025, a survey published by Workday found that nearly half of respondents worried the tech would cause a decline in critical thinking.

AI also threatens to upend the workforce as companies of varying stripes race to integrate AI into their workflows.

Last year, the British Institute of Interior Design said AI “has a growing presence in interior design.”

Stephen Dick, the founder of an interior design firm in the UK, told the institute that “the possibilities are impressive” with text-to-image visualization tools.

“I know of many designers using text-to-image visualization tools, too,” Dick was quoted as saying.

Neither Dreamina, based in Beijing, nor Tan, who is based in Singapore, immediately responded to a request for comment from Business Insider made outside their normal business hours.

• NASA’s WB-57 plane will take high-resolution images of the total solar eclipse on Wednesday.
• The high-altitude aircraft will chase the moon’s shadow for a prolonged aerial view of totality.
• NASA also flew WB-57s during the 2024 total eclipse and in support of the Artemis II mission.

NASA’s WB-57 high-altitude aircraft will have one of the best views of Wednesday’s total solar eclipse.

A partial eclipse will be visible from most major European cities, with the path of totality passing through parts of Greenland, Iceland, Spain, and Portugal.

Parts of North America’s East Coast will be able to view a partial eclipse around 12:57 p.m. ET — 19% in Portland, Maine; 16% in Boston; and 9% in New York.

The WB-57, which NASA has used to conduct scientific research missions since the 1970s, will take off from Iceland and chase the moon’s shadow for a prolonged view of totality from the air.

For those outside the eclipse’s path, NASA will stream a live broadcast. The WB-57 can also be followed on aviation-tracking websites such as Flightradar24.

In a Saturday X post, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman reposted a video of the team prepping for the eclipse flight, writing that the WB-57 and other similar scientific planes are “excellent platforms for high-altitude research” and that NASA is “using them more frequently as part of astronaut training.”

Following the eclipse’s path at 460 miles per hour will extend visibility of the astronomical phenomenon to almost 3 minutes in the air compared to 2 minutes and 18 seconds on the ground, NASA said.

The jet, based on a Cold War-era British bomber, will also fly at an altitude of 50,000 feet to avoid cloud obstruction — nearly three miles higher in the sky than the average airliner — though the aircraft is capable of flying at up to 63,000 feet.

The WB-57 has two crew members: a pilot and a sensor equipment operator, who manages the aircraft’s complex scientific instruments, cameras, payloads, and navigational equipment.

Four cameras positioned in the aircraft’s nose cone will capture 20 photos per second of the solar corona, the outermost part of the sun’s atmosphere, in different wavelengths for researchers to study.

NASA said the nose cone has interchangeable configurations that allow it to switch out equipment for other missions, such as tracking rocket launches and atmospheric re-entries.

“From our unique perspective on Earth during a total solar eclipse, scientists can study the sun’s corona in a way we can’t from anywhere else in the solar system,” Kelly Korreck, eclipse program manager at NASA Headquarters in Washington, said in an announcement released by NASA.

“The sun impacts our daily life, satellites, and astronauts in space, and we can take advantage of this moment to advance our understanding of that influence.”

NASA operates three WB-57s at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, though two are undergoing maintenance.

One was taken out of service after a January 2026 mechanical issue prevented its landing gear from deploying, forcing a wheels-up landing that damaged the aircraft. Neither crew member was injured.

The planes have previously conducted tracking and imaging missions during the 2024 total eclipse and in support of the Artemis II human spaceflight mission in April.

It won’t be the only plane in the sky chasing the eclipse. A handful of airlines and private jets will follow the phenomenon on specially arranged, now-sold-out flights. People paid up to $1,200 for a ticket.

Spain’s Iberia is flying scientists along the path of totality and livestreaming it via the Airbus plane’s high-speed Starlink WiFi. They’ll get a bird’s-eye view of the eclipse without any cloud cover, but it will fly lower than the WB-57 at about 33,000 feet.

• College towns offer unique student experiences that set them apart from big cities.
• For many, large research universities anchor the local economy and culture.
• Ann Arbor tops the list of best college towns, driven by the University of Michigan’s rich culture.

For many students, college is a time filled with rigorous classes, internship applications, and energy-drink-filled all-nighters.

College towns often offer a unique experience that helps these students manage flourishing social lives and hobbies alongside their academic careers.

Business Insider looked at some of the cities and towns across America where students can thrive, and compiled a list that best matches the loose definition of a college town.

To do so, we used data from the Census Bureau’s latest population estimates and from WalletHub’s 2025 ranking of the best college towns. We then filtered out major cities, focusing instead on places where colleges and universities anchor the local economy and lifestyle.

Not all college towns are built the same, however, and while some are extensions of nearby metropolises, others are smaller communities tucked away from other urban areas.

• In 1954, the first Burger King opened its doors.
• An early version of the Burger King logo featured curved letters sandwiched between two yellow buns.
• The Whopper, which has been around since 1957, was still popular well into the 1980s.

Burger King has grown from a small-time burger joint to a major American corporation.

When Burger King first opened in 1954, it served 18-cent flame-broiled burgers, milkshakes, and fries. Three years later, the chain introduced its signature Whopper — now, that same burger is fueling growth for the burger chain.

In February, Burger King updated the Whopper with a new bun, “creamier” mayonnaise, and box packaging after customers complained that the burger’s old paper wrapper sometimes left it squished in transit.

The changes appear to be paying off. Burger King’s US same-store sales jumped 8.5% in the second quarter, and customers bought about 20% more Whoppers than they did in the previous period.

The 1980s were similarly a time of growth for the brand, with multiple menu changes. However, some aspects of visiting the restaurants, such as the chain’s salad bars, haven’t stood the test of time.

Here’s a look back at what it was like to visit Burger King in the 1980s.

By the 1980s, Burger King had expanded across the US and had a well-established brand identity.

The first iteration of Burger King was called Insta-Burger King and opened to the public in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1953. But the company says the first real Burger King opened a year later.

By the 1980s, the chain had opened 2,000 restaurants and had expanded to every state, FLAME magazine, a publication for Burger King’s franchisees, reported in 2004. By 1986, the company had 4,743 restaurants, including locations in 25 countries, per the timeline.

As the above photo shows, an early version of the Burger King logo featured curved letters sandwiched between two yellow buns. The chain is now using a very similar logo that embodies the same nostalgic, vintage feel. 

Burger King locations in the 1980s offered both drive-thru and dine-in service.

Drive-thrus, which the company introduced in 1975, have proven essential to the success of fast-food chains.

By 1987, drive-thrus were responsible for 60% of sales in the fast-food industry.

In 1982, Burger King’s drive-thru lanes started offering “late-night” service, according to the company timeline in FLAME magazine.

Customers could line up to try the chain’s iconic Whopper and eat in the adjoining dining room.

By 1985, customers could also grab their own drinks from self-service machines.

There were some new additions to Burger King’s menu in the 1980s, including its bacon double cheeseburger and chicken tenders.

While Burger King’s brand identity hasn’t changed drastically since the 1980s, its menu has been updated.

While many menu items, such as the Whopper, fries, and burgers that customers could customize and “have it your way,” are still on the menu, Burger King restaurants in the 1980s also had a customizable salad bar, according to a vintage photo posted on X.

After years of testing, breakfast items were also added to the menu in the ’80s.

Other items that debuted in the 1980s included breakfast items: The Croissan’wich was first offered in 1983, and French toast sticks were released in 1985.

Its menu has since expanded further to include breakfast items such as hash browns and pancakes.

Employees wore hats and striped polo shirts.

Burger King’s uniforms have changed drastically during the chain’s lifetime.

In the 1980s, the brand started experimenting with plaid, stripes, and baseball caps to give a relaxed, approachable feel.

They also wore red dresses over red plaid shirts.

In this image from 1983, Burger King University dean Al Jesness shows an employee how to fill a soft drink cup.

As the company grew, Burger King’s managers were trained at the Miami-based university “to learn the holy grail of the perfect burger,” UPI reported in 1983.
