Louis Barker, Riley's husband, said he had brief conversations with her while she was barricaded in the room for nearly three hours.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., angrily hit back at congressional Republicans during a raucous speech on the House floor Thursday in response to a vote to boot Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., off the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg wondered on Monday if "we need to see White people get beat up" to see meaningful police reform before clarifying that she was "not suggesting that" following the death of Tyre Nichols.
"Do we need to see White people also get beat before anybody will do anything? I’m not suggesting that. So don’t write us and tell me what a racist I am. I’m just asking is that what people have to see in order to wake up and realize this affects us all?" Goldberg asked.
On New Year’s Day, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was sworn in for her first full term.

New York City pharmaceutical heiress Annabella Rockwell is claiming that her mother paid a $300-a-day "deprogrammer" after believing her daughter had been "brainwashed" by attending an all-female elite liberal college that left the young woman "totally indoctrinated" and estranged from the parents who raised her.
"I left school very anxious, very nervous, very depressed and sad," Rockwell, now 29, recently told the New York Post. "I saw everything through the lens of oppression and bias and victimhood. I came to the school as someone who saw everyone equally. I left looking for injustice wherever I could and automatically assuming that all White men were sexist.."
Actress Alyssa Milano was blasted on Twitter, including by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, after saying that she "gave back" her Tesla and replaced it with a Volkswagen.
"I gave back my Tesla," Milano, a prominent supporter of Democrats on Twitter, posted Saturday. "I bought the VW ev. I love it. I’m not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. Publicly traded company’s products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn’t seem to be a winning business model."
Twitter users, many of them conservative, criticized Milano over the tweet with many pointing out Volkswagen’s ties to the Nazi Party during the early days of its inception.

WASHINGTON − President Joe Biden plans to announce "new actions to protect student loan borrowers," the White House said Friday, after the Supreme Court overturned his signature program to eliminate up to $20,000 in student loan debt for millions of Americans.
The court's 6-3 decision dashed the hopes of 26 million people who applied for student loan cancellation since Biden took the action last August, putting pressure on the Biden to find other ways for debt relief. "While we strongly disagree with the court, we prepared for this scenario. The president will have more to say today," a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said.
Hunter Biden has reached a settlement in an Arkansas child-support case involving Lunden Roberts, a former exotic dancer, in which he agreed to financially support their four-year-old daughter but succeeded in his effort to deprive the child of his last name.
The president’s son agreed to financially support their daughter until the age of 18, though his exact contribution was redacted in the court filing. He also agreed contribute to the creation of a college education fund, and provide an undisclosed number of his paintings for potential sale.
“The child shall select the painting which shall either be sent to the child or sent to a gallery designated by Lunden Roberts,”

Justices Of Power Grab In Affirmative
Action Opinion 29 replies
Chief Justice John Roberts delivered a scathing response to the liberal justices in Thursday’s Affirmative Action decision, accusing them of burying a power grab in the dissents penned by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, with Justice Elena Kagan concurring.
Roberts addressed the dissent on page 46 of his opinion, saying that the Justices had divorced the case from the context in a concerted effort to make the Court the arbiter of which race[s] were entitled to preferential treatment.
The Supreme Court ruled President Joe Biden can't wipe away or reduce student loans held by millions of Americans.
In a 6-3 decision, the high court's conservative justices agreed with the suing states that the HEROES Act does not authorize Biden's debt forgiveness plan.
At issue was whether the administration had authority to broadly cancel federal student loans because of the COVID-19 emergency.
Loan payments that have been on hold since the start of the coronavirus pandemic three years ago are supposed to resume no later than this summer. Without the loan relief promised by the Biden plan, the administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer said, “delinquencies and defaults will surge.”
On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” President Joe Biden stated that he hopes members of the Supreme Court will react to repeated attacks on and questioning of the Supreme Court’s legitimacy by ruling differently and that he hopes Chief Justice John Roberts’ ruling earlier in the week in a case involving the powers of state legislatures was influenced by these attacks on the court’s legitimacy.
After stating that he doesn’t have an ideological litmus test for his judicial picks and doesn’t support packing the Supreme Court because doing so would politicize the court and may do so permanently, Biden said, “I think — look, I think,
In a speech Friday, President Joe Biden said the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down his student-loan-forgiveness order was a mistake and announced he would attempt to pursue debt relief by other means.
“These Republican officials just couldn’t bear the thought of providing relief for working class, middle-class Americans,” said Biden of those challenging his law. A new relief program will be grounded in the Higher Education Act, instead of the HEROES Act.
The president also announced that the administration will seek to ensure no one with an undergraduate loan will spend more than 5 percent of their disposable income to repay their loans.

Republicans are celebrating the Supreme Court's overturning of President Biden's student loan plan as a 'victory' for taxpayers while Democrats are deeming the high court 'corrupt.'
The court ruled in a 6-3 decision that the scheme was unlawful.
The plan would have eradicated $10,000 in debt for borrowers earning less than $125,000 and up to $20,000 for those with Pell Grants. Estimates pegged the cost at over $400 billion.It was challenged by six Republican states and two borrowers who argued Biden should have sought approval from Congress for a plan using substantial taxpayer funds.

What a disappointment. His job was to protect kids in case someone attacked them, but all he did was ride in his golf cart and peek around corners. If he's not guilty of neglect, then Nikolas Cruz isn't guilty of murder-the GUN killed the kids, Cruz just carried it around. Idiots on the jury.
