Amid rising competition and a lackluster stock performance, Tesla is brushing off CEO Elon Musk’s previous disdain for marketing and pushing ahead with digital ads in search of a much needed sales boost. The company spent an estimated $6.4 million on digital advertising last year, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing data from Vivvix, a subsidiary of ad-tracking platform MediaRadar.

Media reports say the charges against the Democratic Unionist Party head relate to ‘non-recent sexual offences’. The leader of Northern Ireland’s largest unionist party, Jeffrey Donaldson, has resigned after confirming he has been charged with “allegations of an historical nature”, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) says. “In accordance with the party rules, the party officers have suspended Mr Donaldson from membership, pending the outcome of a judicial process,” a DUP statement said on Friday.

Say what you will about Joe Lieberman, the self-described "Independent Democrat" senator from Connecticut and onetime Democratic vice-presidential candidate. He was many things-honorable, devout, sanctimonious, maddening, and unfailingly warm and decent-all of which have been unpacked since his death yesterday, at 82.
