http://youtu.be/feXukSdmCWI A beloved subway busker who regales commuters with a saxophone and a band of dancing, animatronic cats was arrested at a Midtown station as Mayor Eric Adams seeks to restore order to the transit system. The musician, known as Jazz Ajilo, or the “dancing is happiness” man on social media, was arrested at the 34th Street Herald Square subway station on Thursday evening around 10:30 p.m. by six NYPD officers, according to police and video of the incident on the busker’s YouTube page. The clip shows the musician having a conversation with the officers in one of his usual spots on the station’s mezzanine, surrounded by his gyrating figurines, speakers and a rotating donation box, when one of the cops suddenly grabs him to place him under arrest. #newyorkcity #...

http://youtu.be/HuSTllm3pS8 An LAPD officer was beaten to death by fellow officers during a training that simulated a mob attack, a new wrongful death claim filed by his mother claims. Houston Tipping, 32, died three days after an on-duty accident at the department’s Elysian Park Academy on May 26. Tipping was acting as a bike instructor in a scenario that involved grappling with another officer, LAPD said in a statement after his death. At some point, “Officer Tipping fell to the floor and suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury,” police said. Tipping’s mother, Shirley Huffman, filed a notice of claim against the city on Friday, alleging wrongful death and civil rights violations, the Los Angeles Times reported. Such claims are often precede lawsuits. #LAPD #mobs #crime The Ne...

http://youtu.be/dGLnocAf5Mk ​Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Sunday that there should be “consequences” — including impeachment — for US Supreme Court justices who lie about their positions during Senate confirmation hearings. The progressive lightning rod’s comments come amid allegations that Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch misled members of the Senate about their positions on Roe v. Wade during the judges’ confirmation hearings “There must be consequences for such a deeply destabilizing action and hostile takeover of our Democratic institutions​,” said AOC (D-NY) on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”​ She was asked by host Chuck Todd if she considers that an impeachable offense.​ “​I believe so. I believe so. I believe lying under oath is an impeachable offense​,” Ocasio-Corte...

http://youtu.be/qlcH_K5DuRA A 29-year-old transgender woman beat a 13-year-old girl to take home the top prize in a skateboarding contest in New York City, reigniting the debate over whether new inclusivity pushes create an unfair advantage in women’s sports. Ricci Tres, from Los Angeles, who was born a man but now identifies as a woman, won the women’s division of the Boardr Open street skateboarding competition and a $500 prize, with 13-year-old Shiloh Catori, from Florida, coming in second and taking a $250 prize. Four of the six finalists were under the age of 17, with the youngest being 10-year-old Juri Iikura, who came in fifth. At 29, Tres was the oldest contestant. Tres is 838 in the Boardr Global Rankings, compared to Catori’s 133 ranking. #transgender #athletes #sports The...

http://youtu.be/FnvQcJYS6dM Vice President Kamala Harris is facing backlash from liberals after posting a “tone deaf” photo of her vowing to fight for abortion rights — as she watched coverage of the nationwide Roe v. Wade protests unfold from Air Force 2. Harris posted the photo on her official Twitter page Friday night as activists took to the streets after the Supreme Court overturned the landmark abortion ruling. “I know there are women out there who are afraid. To those of you who feel alone and scared: I want you to know the President and I are fighting for you and your rights. We are in this fight together,” the Veep tweeted. The fallout was swift with many accusing Harris of being out-of-touch and others saying her message was the equivalent of “thoughts and prayers” — the nonc...

http://youtu.be/8DoENHx7pCA The Supreme Court has overturned its 49-year-old landmark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion throughout the US, upholding a Mississippi law banning the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy – and leaving the issue up to each of the 50 states. The opinion by Justice Samuel Alito for a 6-3 court also overturned a 1992 case, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, in which the court found that state laws restricting abortion should not impose an “undue burden” on women seeking the procedure. “Abortion presents a profound moral question,” Alito wrote. “The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people ...

http://youtu.be/Upv1uWzz0VY There was an Alito decision handed down by the high court Thursday — just not that Alito decision. With only one day left on the Supreme Court’s schedule to release opinions in this year’s term, Americans are still waiting for a ruling on the intensely watched case that is expected to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion ruling. The high court handed down four opinions on Thursday that involved voter ID laws, state execution methods, Alito on Miranda warnings and the constitutionality of a New York concealed carry law. The case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization — which concerns the legality of a Mississippi law that bans all abortions after 15 weeks except in cases of medical emergencies and fetal abnormality — was not ruled on. #roev...

http://youtu.be/Wl5PpLgyMGE The Supreme Court has struck down New York’s century-old law restricting the carrying of concealed firearms, its first major Second Amendment decision in more than a decade and a ruling that could lead to more guns on the streets. Writing for the 6-3 majority, Justice Clarence Thomas said Thursday that the law’s requirement of New Yorkers who want a permit to carry a handgun in public to show “proper cause” that the weapon is ​specifically needed for self-defense “violates the Fourteenth Amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms in public.” Though the decision concerns New York law, it is likely to affect a handful of other states with similar permitting regimes, including C...

http://youtu.be/PqoTVX3tOSg JP Morgan Chase is laying off hundreds of employees in its home-lending business and reassigning hundreds more this week, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter. More than 1,000 employees will be affected, the report said, and about half of them will be moved to different divisions with the bank. “Our staffing decision this week was a result of cyclical changes in the mortgage market,” a spokesperson for the bank said. JP Morgan has 273,948 employees worldwide, according to its latest quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. #layoff #JPmorgan #mortgage The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and ...

http://youtu.be/vECg21wGwvc Six major cities nationwide, including New York and Los Angeles, are already on track to surpass last year’s staggering rates of violent crime, data shows. Reports of homicide, rape, assault and robbery are on pace to break 2021 levels halfway through the year – with a 25.8% surge in violent crime in the Big Apple atop the list, according to a review of NYPD statistics. A total of 189 murders have been tallied in New York City as of Sunday, the latest date of available data. That’s down more than 13% from 218 on the same date a year ago, but rapes, robberies and felony assaults are all up: 15.4%. 39.7% and 19.6%, respectively. Altogether, the 19,972 reports represent an increase of nearly 26% from 2021 levels, data shows. Violent crime is also up in Washing...

http://youtu.be/_nbCw55j42g A Massachusetts judge granted a 12-year-old nonbinary child and their mother a temporary harassment prevention order against “The Flash” actor Ezra Miller — who is also nonbinary — after the family claims the actor menaced them. Authorities have not been able to serve the papers to the 29-year-old Miller because they went missing after apparently posting memes on their Instagram story earlier this week — seemingly mocking the police’s inability to find them — and then apparently deleting their account Wednesday. According to court documents reviewed by the Daily Beast, the newly filed incident happened on Feb. 2 at a downstairs neighbor’s home in Greenfield.

http://youtu.be/hCh7ZRi4fVU A leading transgender health group has lowered its recommended minimum age for kids to get medical help transitioning — saying hormone therapy can start at 14 and some surgeries at 15. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health said it was changing its advice on when teens should be able to get treatment because it is unethical and harmful to withhold early treatment. The changing advice comes as many experts — including a former board member of the group — fear irreversible treatments are already being given to kids who would otherwise outgrow their gender questioning. #Transgender #LGBTQIA #HormoneTherapy Read more: https://nypost.com/2022/06/16/trans-kids-ok-for-hormones-at-14-surgery-at-15-health-group/The New York Post is your source for...

Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou (D-Lower Manhattan) told a local publication in 2016 — when she was campaigning to initially get elected to her current seat — that she headed to the wealthier Manhattan neighborhood because she witnessed a pair of disturbing crimes and fell victim to one. #NYPD #DefundPolice #Harlem Read more: https://nypost.com/2022/06/21/yuh-line-niou-house-wannabe-who-preaches-cop-defund-fled-from-harlem/ The New York Post is your source for breaking ne...

http://youtu.be/z_73_Sca3sA Dartmouth College is removing all federal and institutional loans from its undergraduate financial aid awards and replacing them with expanded scholarship grants, beginning with the current summer term, the school’s president said. Currently, Dartmouth undergraduates from families with an annual income of $125,000 or less who possess typical assets are offered need-based aid without a required loan component. Dartmouth is now removing the loan requirement for undergraduates from families with annual income of more than $125,000 who receive need-based financial aid. This will decrease the debt burden for hundreds of middle-income Dartmouth students and their families by an average of $22,000 over four years, the school said in a news release Monday. #Dartmou...

http://youtu.be/QogTYMJAo3o Elon Musk was hit with a $258 billion lawsuit that alleges the tech mogul and his high-profile companies “are engaged in a crypto pyramid scheme by way of dogecoin cryptocurrency.” In federal court papers filed in Lower Manhattan, the plaintiff, Keith Johnson, names Musk as well as his electric car company, Tesla, and the space tourism firm SpaceX. Johnson, a US citizen, wants $86 billion in damages, plus tripled damages of $172 billion for losses incurred from trading dogecoin since 2019. He is seeking to represent a class of people who have lost money investing in dogecoin. The lawsuit also demands that Musk, Tesla and SpaceX cease promoting dogecoin. On Thursday, one dogecoin was worth just north of 6 cents — well off its all-time high of 74 cents in May...

http://youtu.be/-zy4FO3rJUg A federal court just handed the Biden administration — and everyone else who stands in the way of fixing our broken public-education system — a brand new weapon. The 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled North Carolina’s Charter Day School’s skirt requirement for female students unconstitutional, because as a “state actor,” the school can’t have gender-based dress codes as they allegedly violate equal-protection laws. This decision goes far beyond dress codes. Whether the 4th Circuit was motivated by politics we don’t know. But there’s no doubt those applauding the ruling are doing so for nakedly partisan reasons. Why? That “state actor” finding is key. If the ruling stands, it could mean, in effect, the end of charters as they exist. It provides a legal ...

http://youtu.be/rpEXpuXXAco More than one-third of all flights at LaGuardia Airport and over a quarter of flights at Newark Airport were canceled Thursday in one of the worst travel days yet this summer. The huge percentage of flight cancellations, cited by tracking service FlightAware, was due in part to the chance of storms late in the day. However, the travel chaos was not limited to New York City-area airports, with more than 1,500 flights canceled on Thursday across the country as the peak summer travel season gets underway. #LaGuardia #Flights #Travel The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/encQoLQnjjs Thunder Rosa couldn’t stand by and do nothing. The All Elite Wrestling women’s world champion was speaking to a class of fifth graders in Las Vegas and telling them schools are safe on May 24. An hour later, 19 children and two adults were killed in a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas just 45 minutes from her home in San Antonio. She felt compelled to do what she could to help. “I don’t feel comfortable not doing something for my community,” Rosa said in a Zoom interview.

http://youtu.be/H4xNekotgqA President Biden spoke with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, on Wednesday as Poland cautioned that Biden’s plan to evade a Russian grain blockade by building silos at the Poland-Ukraine border could take three to four months to effect. Biden told Zelensky he would send a new tranche of $1 billion in military aid to fight Russia’s nearly four-month-old invasion and an additional $225 million for humanitarian aid, according to the White House. Congress last month approved $40 billion to assist Kyiv in the conflict. A readout of the call made no mention of Biden’s assertion Tuesday that NATO allies would help Ukraine export more than 20 million tons of grain by building storage facilities near western Ukraine. The plan expounded by Biden would, in ...

http://youtu.be/VRHeWkgnMpQ A Louisiana judge gave an accused rapist custody of the child conceived from the 2005 attack and eventually ordered his underage victim to pay child support, a report said. Crysta Abelseth told WBRZ that she was raped at 16 years old when a man nearly twice her age promised to give her a ride home from a local restaurant after a night out with friends. “Instead of bringing me home, he brought me to his house,” Abelseth said about John Barnes, who was 30 at the time. “Once inside, he raped me on his living room couch.” The teen became pregnant and had a daughter, who is now a teenager herself, the station said. “Everyone assumed it [the pregnancy] was from a boyfriend, and I let them believe that,” Abelseth told the outlet. #cyrstalabelseth #sexualabuse #ch...
