Jackson. The scene features Jackson honking and yelling out of a car window.“You about done?” Jackson says in the scene. “Tick tock, motherf‑‑‑er!”The update appears to be a cheeky insult directed at the automakers — Stellantis, Ford and General Motors — as the UAW navigates its first few days of striking against all three companies simultaneously for the first time. The union and the auto companies failed to reach an agreement before a Friday morning deadline, so the UAW went on strike. A recent Morning Consult poll found a majority of Americans — 54 percent — support the strike.The UAW has also received support from both ends of the political spectrum, from Presi...

Cake recall impacting Walmart customers nationwide

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:43:19 GMT

Federal health officials say cake slices sold in Walmart stores could pose serious allergy risks to some individuals. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in a press release that David's Cookies is recalling more than 950 units of its 7 oz. "Marketside Chocolate Chip Explosion Cake" with the lot number BS23212. This product was sold in Walmart stores across the country. The recall was issued after 960 units of "Marketside Chocolate Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake" were mislabeled as "Marketside Chocolate Chip Explosion Cake," according to the FDA. Because the label doesn't list peanuts as an ingredient and doesn't declare a peanut allergen warning, federal regulators fear the product may pose a risk for those with a peanut allergy.
