FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.
Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced a free Knicks watch party at Bryant Park.
This comes after watch parties outside of Madison Square Garden were canceled due to Trump's attendance.
Graham Platner: “The fact that Jeff Bezos exists and the fact that I know someone in Sullivan who works three jobs and pays 60% of her monthly income in rent, those two things are directly connected. There is no metric of hard work that justifies a billionaire when people in Eastern Maine work three jobs just to put food on the table”
This interview hurt my soul. The mistreatment of black women and journalists by this President is down right embarrassing and unacceptable. Kristin Welker is neither crooked or stupid. She is a history making journalist who has earned the right to be respected. The President should apologize immediately.
Since the WSJ editorial board mentioned my earlier post about Justice Alito’s son, I’m happy to reply. Pointing out that his son works for an agency whose interests may come before the Supreme Court is not harassment. It is basic transparency.
The federal recusal statute, 28 U.S.C. § 455(a), requires a judge or justice to step aside from any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned. That standard is about public confidence in the courts. It does not require proof of actual bias.
Whether a particular case would require recusal depends on the specific facts, including the nature of the case and the family member’s role. Reasonable people can disagree about where that line should be drawn. But the existence of the relationship itself is a legitimate subject of public discussion.
If the risk of a 4-4 tie were enough to keep a Justice on a case, no Justice would ever recuse from anything, since every recusal raises that same possibility. The recusal statute already weighs that cost and still commands stepping aside when impartiality is reasonably in question.
The public has every right to know about potential conflicts and to debate whether recusal is appropriate. Transparency is not a threat to judicial independence. It is one of the ways judicial independence maintains public trust.

BREAKING: DHS just waived all environmental laws to blast border barriers and roads through Big Bend National Park.
This marks the first time in American history the feds have gutted dozens of laws to push industrial-level construction through a national park.
I hope you’ll join me in wishing Ashley Biden a very happy birthday today!
Her work lifting up others, especially those too often overlooked, reflects the very best of the Biden family: empathy, resilience, and a deep belief in people.
Wishing her a wonderful birthday and year ahead. 💙

DOJ lawyers just got caught flat-out lying to a federal court to seize private medical records of transgender children. Now, a judge has referred them for potential disbarment. Read how the plot failed: 👇

Sen. HIRONO: Donald Trump spent all of 2024 insisting he’d go after the ‘worst of the worst.’ And yet, like everything else, that was a lie. His regime has indiscriminately gone after all immigrants, swept up into Stephen Miller’s desire to get rid of immigrants in our country.
A MESSAGE TO ALL SANE REPUBLICANS:
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.
He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.
He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.
He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.
He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.
He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.
His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.
He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.
He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.
It’s time to start talking.

Palestinian woman in the West Bank is arrested by Israeli police under a new terror law that outlaws passive social media use because she shows sympathy to what’s happening in Gaza.
She may spend up to 1 year in prison. Israel is a deeply depraved society.
