Sure, we already knew he abused his former wife Molly when the NFL suspended him for Week 1, but it wasn’t until his private journals were released by the sheriff’s office last week that he was put under the cultural microscope. The journals were arguably as damning and incriminating to Brown, Roger Goodell and the NFL as the Ray Rice elevator video. MORE: Fumbling of Brown case reeks of corporate cronyism...
Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto won reelection in the battleground state as the expected Republican “red wave” failed to materialize during the midterm elections. This prompted Missouri Republican Hawley to slam his own party on Twitter, where last week he called out GOP candidates for not appealing to independent voters. “When your ‘agenda’ is cave to Big Pharma on insulin, cave to Schumer on gun control & Green New Deal (“infrastructure”), and tease changes to Social Security and Medicare, you lose,” the senator said last Thursday....
“Blue-collar workers have shouldered the worst of the pandemic. They deserve to keep more of their hard-earned money. They deserve a pay raise. I am introducing new legislation to give them one,” Hawley said in a Wednesday tweet. “Wages for blue-collar workers have been stagnant for decades. And the government made the problem worse by shutting down the economy a year ago,” Hawley said in a Wednesday statement, referring to the nationwide shutdown that occurred last spring because of the coronavirus....
Hawley was highly regarded within the GOP, but has been tarnished by his support for President Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated claims of election fraud. The 41-year-old has also drawn criticism for his apparent backing of the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday afternoon—a siege that left five people dead and America’s global reputation for democratic stability in tatters. UK-based bookmaker Betfair said Hawley, while “always an outsider,” had drifted further in the 2024 presidential betting market, to 80-1 on Friday from 50-1 in the days before the riot....
At last Thursday’s hearing, the Jan. 6 committee showed footage of Hawley running away from the Capitol on the day of the attack only a few hours after the senator from Missouri greeted rioters with a raised fist salute. After seeing the brief clip of the senator jogging through the Capitol’s halls and trotting down staircases to flee the mob taking over the building, the audience of reporters, congressional aides, security staff, and visitors in the committee room burst out laughing....
The policy has been heavily criticized by the Mexican press, but while Osorio said the critics are within their bounds to speak out against him, he has been largely indifferent to the harsh judgments en route to a 13-1-2 record since the start of 2016. Chivas alive but streak a concern “As the leader of this sporting project and this process, I have to make the decisions at the end, and I take that on....
3B District Court went viral just last week, May 11, after a defendant entered the live-streamed court hearing under the name “Buttf*****3000.” The clip was subsequently posted on various social media platforms by entertained viewers. The name mishap was the second time the court’s live-stream had gone viral, after a March hearing showed an assault suspect in the same room as the victim and witness, which is explicitly not allowed....
Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and published author, appeared on the Saturday edition of Slate’s legal podcast, Amicus, alongside legal analyst Norm Ornstein. When pressed by the host, Dahlia Lithwick, about why her uncle is not yet in jail, she began to discuss the recent decision by Judge Aileen Cannon to allow Trump to appoint a special master to the case surrounding his possession of top secret government documents....
“The State of Wisconsin’s Legislature and governor are not willing to step up and say there’s a public health crisis and make it absolutely clear that we should not be allowing poll workers and voters to congregate on April 7,” U.S. District Judge William Conley said, closing a four-hour hearing. Conley, who said he didn’t have the power to order an election delay, is considering amending voting rules to mitigate the risk of coronavirus spreading among citizens who decide to head to the polls....
Pirro, a conservative firebrand and former New York state judge, began her opening statement on the final episode of Justice With Judge Jeanine by saying that it began 11 years ago with a mission of “finding truth and justice.” “Each and every week, we watched events unfold in America together through the lens of this studio,” she continued. “When we started this journey we were all a bit younger, but not as wise as we are now....
The conservative television host and former New York State judge made the comments during the network’s 25th anniversary on Tucker Carlson Tonight. Both expressed that while they initially didn’t think Fox News would be successful, it has thrived because of leadership that allows its hosts to speak. As Pirro and Carlson were discussing the “courage” of Fox News for not giving in to cancel culture and remaining on the air, Carlson said the network’s hosts are the only ones in the media saying what they really think....
Carroo was charged with slamming a woman to the ground outside the team’s training center after a loss last month and has pleaded not guilty to simple assault. He and the alleged victim signed a consent order Tuesday saying that they will have no contact with each other. According to NorthJersey.com, all parties plan to appear in Piscataway municipal court Tuesday afternoon in an attempt to get the assault charges against Carroo dropped....
“There will likely not be enough to compensate everyone for what their claims may be,” Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Michael Hanzman said. Hanzman also warned attorneys that any claims put forward should be complete and ironclad. “I’m not interested in ‘hail Mary’ claims.” The claims for all tenants are likely to be consolidated into a single class action lawsuit that will be filed in mid-August. For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below....
U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich dismissed the lawsuit’s claims that Trump and Barr planned in advance to violate the rights of those protesting racial injustice. It was filed by the ACLU of DC, the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and the law firm of Arnold & Porter in support of Black Lives Matter DC and individual protesters, the Associated Press reported....
The nature of those bumps is why there’s no reason to panic as Wentz and the Eagles struggle down the stretch of 2016. This is the process for a young, impressionable and still-learning rookie passer. Eagles skeptics and optimists alike should focus less on the ebbs and flows of a team that was never supposed to reach the playoffs this year, and they should focus more on what the future might hold for one of the league’s brightest young quarterbacks....
Smith-Schuster, the youngest player in the NFL (he won’t turn 21 until Nov. 22), had his biggest game of his rookie season (seven catches, 193 yards, one TD) at the ideal time Sunday night. His 97-yard scoring catch-and-run from Ben Roethlisberger in the third quarter broke Pittsburgh out of a field-goal fest in Detroit. He then helped clinch the 20-15 win over the Lions with a 4-yard catch on a shovel pass for a first down in the final minute....
MORE: 49ers, Patriots best fits for Julio Jones | Could Packers make a trade for Jones work? Titans young Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown — who also wears No. 11 on his jersey because of Jones — took to Instagram to recruit Jones to start opposite him as a co-No. 1 for Ryan Tannehill. Jones also works out with Titans All-Pro running back Derrick Henry, a fellow former Alabama star....
But unlike most of the Knicks’ recent free agents, Randle looked like the right signing. He was not only a part of the team’s resurgence, he spearheaded it. Randle and the 2020-21 Knicks finished the season as the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference – the first time in eight years the team qualified for the playoffs. Randle turned a major corner. He averaged 24.1 points and 10.2 rebounds per game while shooting a career-best 41....
He just has no interest in being involved in the search. That might seem strange but he had no choice when Steve Letarte was named his crew chief three years ago, and Earnhardt has trust in Hendrick Motorsports management to make the right call and build on what Earnhardt and Letarte have built on three consecutive seasons in making the Chase. Team owner Rick Hendrick said the team would address a replacement for Letarte at the end of the season....
The Constitution guarantees certain rights to defendants that juries have an obligation to uphold. I believe most jurors respect their duty to remain fair and impartial. Every so often though, a case comes along that dominates the headlines and pushes the limits of the system to a breaking point. For the process to work as intended and to operate in good faith, jurors must accept the responsibility of not just considering the facts, testimony and evidence, but cutting through the noise of a media and public intent on injecting their narratives into the courtroom, twisting those facts to fit their point of view....
