“Officers were responding to a shoplifting call alleging that Wiley’s mother, Vellesiya Wiley, and Latoya Ferrell had stolen a pack of diapers.”
The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office says.

Ulrich's attorney told a Manhattan judge that some recorded phone conversations between Ulrich and the other defendants will sound bad
more specifically:
"At times, it will sound like 1950s, misogynistic, unpolitically correct, locker room talk"
Who's testifying against former NYC Councilman and Buildings Commissioner Eric Ulrich?
Manhattan prosecutors plan to call other high-ranking NYC officials, including another former Buildings boss
From Day 1 of the corruption trial for @WNYC @Gothamist

Eyewitness to the Israeli settler attack on Palestinians and @washingtonpost photographer Heidi Levine tells me, “It was barbaric…there were maybe 5 or 6 surrounding her. They had clubs…And they were standing over her, beating her over and over, it was truly horrific. I was worried that she was going to be killed.” - @infinite_jaz
Great news! Our city should not be compelled to carry out Trump’s racist, violent mass deportation operation. Now we need the private sector to do their part and grant ICE no quarter in our city.
U.S. District Judge Ramón E. Reyes Jr. made the ruling. brooklyneagle.com/423254/fed…

The former party chair and her allies have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to their favorite law firm to try to block challengers and keep themselves in power.
But they barely spent a dime on supporting Democratic candidates and apparently don't even pay their bills.
New: Assembly Member Nikki Lucas, Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn’s pick to succeed her as leader of Brooklyn Dems, is being sued over debts associated with her 2021 City Council campaign.
A spox for the assembly member described past invoices as disputed.

New Yorkers deserve leaders who keep industries that need strong oversight at arm’s length, not ones whose circles are cozy with them. The standard is ours to set at the ballot box in the years ahead.
Some pretty insane details on Gillibrand here including:
– Her comms director bought up to 30k of bitcoin and ether one week before Gillibrand announced a bill putting both under friendlier CFTC oversight.
– Her chief of staff invoked the Senator's role as the DSCC’s top fundraiser while pushing other Dem aides to back her crypto-friendly legislation
-Her 22-year-old son raised $30M for a startup that is backed by crypto investors, including a key Gillibrand donor.
Gillibrand on staff trading crypto: “I could care less what they do with their money. This is not a nanny state.”

NYC advocates and representatives rallied outside the Marble Hill @Target to demand that ICE be barred from using their parking lot. Our places of commerce cannot become bases of operation for ICE while our neighborhoods become their hunting grounds. #ICEOutofNY – at Bronx, NY
