I prosecuted them in case after case, and I won.”A day earlier, the Harris campaign released a television advertisement highlighting her pivot. Her stance reflects a change in public opinion since Mr. Trump left the White House in 2021. The decision for the Harris campaign to frame her record as California attorney general as a “border-state prosecutor” stands in contrast to how she ran in the 2020 Democratic primary. “Donald Trump tanked the deal,” Ms. Harris said in Arizona as a crowd of more than 15,000 supporters booed. “Voters want to see folks be serious about actually fixing the broken immigration system and securing the border,” Ms. Cox said in an interview.

CNN —Gambia’s parliament has voted to uphold a landmark law that bans female genital mutilation (FGM) in the largely Muslim nation, after religious groups pushed for the legislation to be repealed. If Monday’s bid had been successful, the tiny West African country would have been the first in the world to relegalize FGM after criminalizing it. The law also punished perpetrators with life sentences in cases where the practice led to death. In Gambia, 73% of women aged between 15 and 49 years had experienced FGM as of 2020, according to the United Nations. More than 65% of those women were subjected to the practice “before the age of five years,” the UN said.

Charges against Trump not likely affectedThe people who pushed their way into the Capitol aren’t the only ones who are facing the obstruction charge. But even before the court’s decision was handed down, Smith made clear that the charge was based on different circumstances in Trump’s case. The Supreme Court’s opinion did not address the fake electors scheme specifically. What is far more important for Trump is the Supreme Court’s pending decision on immunity. The Justice Department has taken steps for months in its prosecutions of rioters to shore up the obstruction charges.

Now, the Supreme Court will consider whether the prosecutors’ interpretation of the law can be used against the rioters and whether the convictions already secured will stick. The charge at issue in the Supreme Court case stems from a law Congress enacted in response to a series of corporate accounting scandals, including the 2001 Enron debacle. The case before the Supreme Court involves only that last charge. All three defendants appealed to the Supreme Court, but the justices granted only Fischer’s case. In a filing last week at the Supreme Court in Trump’s immunity case, Smith argued the obstruction charge should stick against Trump even if Fischer wins.

The high court’s ruling could also affect the federal election subversion criminal case pending against former President Donald Trump, who was also charged with the obstruction crime. The law, Justice Elena Kagan said, could have been written by Congress to limit its prohibition to evidence tampering. Unless the court rules broadly in a way that undermines the charge entirely, the case against Trump may still stick even if Fischer wins his case. The Fischer case has prompted some liberal critics of the court to demand that Thomas recuse himself. “There have been many violent protests that have interfered with proceedings,” Thomas asked Prelogar, pressing on a theme he returned to repeatedly during the arguments.

"Best Buy has partnerships with and contributes to organizations and activists that promote the practice of gender transition surgeries on minors and evangelize gender theory to minors. Why are Best Buy shareholders funding the proliferation of an ideology seeking to mutilate the reproductive organs of children before they finish puberty?" "This contentious and vast disagreement between radical gender theory activists and the general public has nothing to do with Best Buy selling electronics." "Were Best Buy to agree to such a compromise with us, we will not make a splash about it." In an email on Friday, GLAAD, one of the LGBTQ nonprofits mentioned in the SEC filing, expressed its displeasure with Best Buy.

"It was no secret that Russian security agencies torture people, mutilate suspected terrorists and generally practice all known ways of extracting information.

But the treatment of the Moscow terror suspects seems to mark a new milestone in the normalization of brutality by officials in Putin's Russia.

Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 after a popular uprising ousted a Russia-leaning president in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. Jamala won the Eurovision song contest in 2016 with a song dedicated to the Crimean Tatars who were deported in the 1940s after they were accused of cooperating with Nazi Germany. Her ancestors were deported to Central Asia, where she was born. “It happened in 1944, and then in 2014, and now again,” she said. In 1954, the peninsula was transferred from Russian to Ukrainian authority within the Soviet Union.

I am watching the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza today and thinking about one of the world leaders I’ve most admired: Manmohan Singh. The cost of occupying Gaza could overstretch the Israeli military and economy for years to come. Israel should keep the door open for a humanitarian cease-fire and prisoner exchange that will also allow Israel to pause and reflect on exactly where it is going with its rushed Gaza military operation — and the price it could pay over the long haul. Israel built an impressive society and economy, even if flawed, and Hamas took nearly all of its resources and built attack tunnels.

[1/3] International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan speaks during an interview with Reuters about the violence in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories in The Hague, Netherlands October 12, 2023. The occupied Palestinian territories including the Gaza Strip fall under the jurisdiction of the ICC, meaning the court has the authority to prosecute Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that rules Gaza. Yes, we have jurisdiction wherever they're committed, including on the territory of Israel," ICC prosecutor Karim Khan said in an interview. The court has had an ongoing investigation in the occupied Palestinian territories into possible war crimes and crimes against humanity there since 2021. Asked if he had a message for the warring parties in Israel and the Palestinian territories, Khan called for reflection and calm.

An elderly Ukrainian woman recounted her experiences fleeing Russian invaders twice before she died. Kateryna Lihusha told The Wall Street Journal that she first fled home as a baby in 1932. Before she died, Lihusha was among the millions of Ukrainians who were displaced by the war and are now scattered throughout Europe and beyond. The first time Lihusha fled Russian invaders was as a baby in her mother's arms in 1932, the Journal reported. Lihusha died a year later of kidney disease.

More Charges Against Trump

Donald Trump is facing more criminal charges in a federal case accusing him of mishandling classified documents. The new allegations are in a revised indictment from the special counsel’s office released last night. It added three charges: attempting to “alter, destroy, mutilate, or conceal evidence”; asking someone else to do so; and a new count under the Espionage Act. Prosecutors said that Trump asked the property manager of Mar-a-Lago, his Florida home, to have surveillance camera footage deleted. He told a Mar-a-Lago information technology expert that “‘the boss’ wanted the server deleted,” according to the revised indictment.

DeSantis signed three anti-trans bills into law ahead of an anticipated 2024 run. Though he decried LGBTQ+ material and called for "normalcy" for minors, children stood next to him onstage during the bills' signings. Another bill DeSantis signed into law Wednesday prevents doctors from offering treatments such as hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and surgery — such as breast removal — to transgender minors, even in cases where parents consent. The legislation — officially known as the Parental Rights in Education Act — was panned by LGBTQ+ rights organizations as "Don't Say Gay." But a bill DeSantis signed into law Wednesday went even further to eradicate such teachings so they only happen in the limited curriculum parameters after eighth grade.
How did the people in these mobs — made up mostly of white men in the American accounts I’ve read — rev themselves up to peak barbarity? I have stared at the pictures of glassy-eyed men and boys (and sometimes women) standing beneath dangling bodies or standing above charred ones. I have read the histories of communities consumed by the desire to not only kill, but to mutilate. In 1893, Henry Smith, a Black man accused of killing a white girl, was lynched in Paris, Texas, before a crowd estimated at 10,000 people. His body was burned with “red-hot” irons “inch by inch until they were thrust against the face.” His eyes were burned out and the hot irons shoved down his throat.
A Texas woman who helped mutilate and conceal the body of Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillén pleaded guilty to federal charges Tuesday, prosecutors said. Cecily Aguilar, 24, helped the man who killed Guillén dispose of her body and lied to investigators, the U.S. attorney’s office for Western Texas said in a statement. Aguilar pleaded guilty Tuesday to a count of accessory to murder after the fact and three counts of false statement or representation, the U.S. attorney’s office said. If she is convicted, Aguilar faces up to 30 years in prison, but a judge will consider federal sentencing guidelines, the U.S. attorney's office said. Guillén's family said they were taken aback by Aguilar's decision to plead guilty.

Eight of those states have strict photo ID laws. Since the 2020 election, 12 states have enacted new or stricter voter ID laws, according to VoteRiders, a nonpartisan voting rights organization. In the 15 states without ID laws, voters’ identities are usually verified by checking them against their voter registration information, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Astăzi se împlinesc 72 de ani de la al doilea val de deportări, cel mai mare, al celor mai buni basarabeni în înghețurile Siberiei. A fost o „operațiune” planificată din timp, scopul căreia a fost decapitarea acestei așchii de popor român din Basarabia. Astfel, soarta a peste 40000 de oameni, între care mai mult de 1/3 copii până la 17 ani, a fost pecetluită printr-o singură trăsătură de condei. În final, la 6 iulie 1949 a început al doilea val al deportărilor. Acesta a fost motivul de bază al acestei deportări.

Aliona ne-a povestit că a ales să fie ilustratoare și designeră în Moldova, lucru pe care l-a ales conștient, la fel ca profesia sa. Dar pentru început am rugat-o să se deplaseze un pic în trecut și să ne povestească cum a început totul. Apoi, își amintește cum a început de deseneze femei îmbrăcate în tot felul de haine, cel mai probabil se inspira din filme. Adevărat este că după asta a urmat o pauză, iar după opt ani, Aliona a reușit să facă prima ei carte editată intitulată „Abecedar pentru cei mici”.

De ce „hruşciovcele” au fost mutilate în anii tranziției de anexe și mansarde slute, lipsite de orice stil și concept? Și în ce măsură apariția unor castele faraonice după 1991 e o convertire a complexului de inferioritate în unul de superioritate?

Adăpostul a fost, dintotdeauna, una dintre necesitățile vitale ale omului, însemnând locul unde el se putea ascunde de frig, dar și, în timpurile mai moderne, își putea trăi intimitatea. Nu și în Uniunea Sovietică însă, unde această necesitate tot prin prisma intereselor sistemului a fost tratată. De ce „hruşciovcele” au fost mutilate în anii tranziției de anexe și mansarde slute, lipsite de orice stil și concept? Și în ce măsură apariția unor castele faraonice după 1991 e o convertire a complexului de inferioritate în unul de superioritate?

Corpurile mutilate a cel puţin cinci adulţi şi 15 adolescenţi au fost găsite luni, dispersate într-o pădure din districtul Muidumbe. Insurgenţi islamişti care acţionează în regiune au mai atacat, devastat şi ars mai multe sate în acest sector şi în trecut. „Poliţia a fost atenţionată de locuitori care au găsit cadavrele în pădure”, a spus un oficial din districtul vecin Mueda, care a dorit să îşi păstreze anonimatul. „Este vorba de tineri veniţi să participe la o ceremonie de iniţiere, înconjuraţi de rudele mai în vârstă”, a adăugat el, potrivit Agerpres. Ei atacă sate cu scopul de a răspândi teroare şi în încercarea de a instaura un califat.
