Verizon has introduced a brand refresh that centers the color red and the letter “V” — and briefly revives the classic line “Can you hear me now?” — as the company also rolled out new programs and benefits for customers. Central to the rebrand, the “V” has a golden accent on the left side which is meant to suggest the horizon. Verizon will focus on spotlighting the wordmark initially to establish it with consumers before beginning to roll out other uses of the logo, which will initially only show up as the app icon.

Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”
