☆ Prosecutors Face Conspiracy Theories in Jan. 6 Trial
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-05 | by ( Alan Feuer | More About Alan Feuer | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Almost from the moment that a pro-Trump mob stormed into the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, conspiracy theories have ricocheted from the fringes of the internet to the corridors of Congress. Republican officials and others on the right have dismissed the attack as the work of mere tourists, or sought to depict it as a false-flag operation by shadowy leftist groups — or even the federal government. These baseless claims have seeped into dozens of criminal cases stemming from the riot, and for more than two years the government has had to beat them back. On Thursday, prosecutors may face their stiffest challenge yet on that front as Alan Hostetter, a former police chief turned yoga instructor from Southern California, goes on trial in Federal District Court in Washington. Few people connected to the Jan. 6 attack have embraced conspiracy theories about the attack as fully as Mr. Hostetter, who is planning to place them at the heart of his defense.

☆ Do Yoga Pants Qualify as Real Pants?
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-03 | by ( Vanessa Friedman | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

I feel great when working out and love yoga pants. But as the return to work has picked up at least some steam, so has the debate about the actual “pants-ness” of yoga pants. This is in part why they are sometimes known as “boot-cut leggings” or “flared leggings” instead of “yoga pants.” By borrowing the language of pants, they edge closer to that category. But let’s be honest: Yoga pants are not pants. Yoga pants, on the other hand, are much more about revealing the body in some of its glory.

☆ Public Garden vs. Affordable Housing: A Court Rules for Housing

The Elizabeth Street Garden in Manhattan is a popular space where people can do yoga, attend poetry readings or amble outdoors among roses and daffodils and sculptures of lions. It is also a rare, publicly-owned site that the city thinks is a perfect spot to put dozens of affordable apartments in one of the wealthiest parts of the city. A fight over whether to keep the garden or build the housing has dragged on for more than 10 years. But on Tuesday, the housing plan — at least for now — prevailed. Adolfo Carrión Jr., the city’s housing commissioner, called the ruling a “huge win.”“The fight over this land highlights how difficult it can be to build affordable housing, especially in neighborhoods that offer strong economic opportunities,” he said.

Indeed, Biden will likely be accused of hypocrisy for playing down issues of human rights and democracy erosion under Modi, both accusations that Modi claims are false. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden meet at the Oval Office, in September 2021. Though Modi’s administration denies it, human rights organizations say discrimination against Muslims has worsened under Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. Officials say Biden will raise the issue of India’s human rights record and democracy backsliding, but it’s likely they will be downplayed. After all, putting human rights publicly at the heart of relations with Saudi Arabia did little more than open the region’s door to China.

Last week, Google updated its hybrid three-day-a-week office policy to include badge tracking and noted attendance will be included in performance reviews. Additionally, employees who already received approval for remote work may now have that status reevaluated. Prior to the pandemic, Google was known for its vibrant campus life, replete with massage parlors, yoga classes, video games and free gourmet meals. But life changed, as did priorities, during the pandemic, when offices were closed and employees were forced to work from home. Staffers moved to different cities and got used to more flexibility and family time while taking advantage of Google's flexible remote work options.

New York CNN —Walgreens just opened a redesigned store in a downtown Chicago neighborhood where most of the merchandise is intentionally kept out of sight. It’s not designed to deter theft, Walgreens says. The new Walgreens store now has only two aisles for shoppers to peruse for their everyday needs, such as over-the-counter medication, bath and body care supplies, batteries, Band-aids, and grab-and-go snacks. Those hidden products – including color cosmetics, beer, wine and spirits, hair color products and gift cards – can only be accessed for purchase through a kiosk system, also set up in the store. Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker signed a bill that went into effect Jan. 1 that’s designed to crack down on retail crime by raising penalties on retail theft statewide.

Judge Aileen Cannon is likely to preside over the first-ever federal trial of a former president. Cannon, 42, has been assigned to oversee Trump's trial, according to a summons cited by numerous news outlets. At that time, a magistrate judge on duty — and not Cannon — is expected to oversee the proceedings. The judge will likely decide whether to set bail, and read the charges against Trump before he enters a plea. "Judge Cannon is a great judge who I am very proud to have enthusiastically supported," Rubio told Insider through his office when asked about the connection.
