The grieving parents of a 7-year-old child who died hours after being hit by a car were charged with involuntary manslaughter after allowing him and his brother, 10, to walk home unaccompanied by an adult from a nearby grocery store.

Jessica Ivey and Samuele Jenkins were charged two days after their son Legend died from injuries caused by being struck by a Jeep on May 27 in Gastonia, a rural town in North Carolina. The 76-year-old driver will not face any charges.

The Food Lion store is two blocks away from their home. The parents said the children were with their mother when they asked to meet their father at the store, and she allowed them to leave, according to The Gaston Gazette. The brothers had to cross the busy, four-lane road, but attempted to go between crosswalks.

Mexico's cartel picked communist president sued US gun makers for $10 billion. the SCOTUS dismissed the suit
>Congress passed the law two decades ago to halt a flurry of lawsuits against gunmakers that were similar to the case Mexico filed, Justice Elena Kagan wrote. Her opinion overturned a lower court order that let the suit go forward because the companies themselves were accused of violating the law.

>Kagan wrote that Mexico’s lawsuit made no plausible argument that the companies had knowingly helped gun trafficking into the country.
Thomas and Jackson both wrote concurring opinions.
Oddly enough Kagan's majority opinion said
>Mexico ... focuses on the manufacturers’ production of “military style” assault weapons, among which it includes AR–15 rifles, AK–47 rifles, and .50 caliber sniper rifles. But those products are both widely legal and bought by many ordinary consumers. (The AR–15 is the most popular rifle in the country. See T. Gross, How the AR–15 Became the Bestselling Rifle in the U. S., NPR (Apr. 20, 2023.)
Which makes declining to hear Snope v Brown weirder, but there are a bunch of AWB cases in the lower courts so the SCOTUS might just be waiting for a difference case like they waited a long ass time for Bruen.
NJ's AWB case had a democrat judge agree with Kagan during the last decision handed down. he said NJ couldn't ban ARs because they are in common use.
Logically there is no legitimate argument anyone can make for the banning of AR-15s based on the holdings of Miller (1938), Heller (2008) and Bruen (2021) as AR-15s, the most popular single model of guns sold in the US, are in common use for both militia proposes as well as general lawful use by citizens, as Kagan so eloquently pointed out in her brilliant majority opinion

Elon Musk has dropped what he referred to as "the really big bomb" in his rapidly escalating feud with President Donald Trump.

As the former allies sling mud at each other in the public arena, Musk has made the allegation that Trump "is in the Epstein files."

"That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" he added in a post on X.

The increasingly personal feud escalated earlier in the week after Musk, who contributed more than $200 million to Trump's presidential campaign, publicly criticized the administration-backed "One Big Beautiful Bill." The proposed legislation aims to extend tax cuts, overhaul immigration enforcement, and repeal consumer incentives for electric vehicles.

Musk condemned the bill as a "disgusting abomination," arguing that it would add trillions to the federal debt.

Trump posted Thursday afternoon that "the easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts." In a follow-up, he said he took away Musk's electric vehicle mandate and claimed, "he just went CRAZY!"

The Epstein files refer to a collection of documents, including court records and flight logs connected to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

There is no evidence that Trump is among the files.

Epstein was known to entertain famous people on his island, Little St. James, in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

He took his own life at the age of 66 in a jail cell at New York City's Metropolitan Correctional Center in August 2019, before he could stand trial in Manhattan on sex-trafficking charges where he was accused of preying on underage girls as young as 14. Authorities determined he hanged himself. He always denied any wrongdoing.

Elon Musk told MAGA activist Laura Loomer she should side with him amid his public feud with President Donald tRump on Thursday, as he would live longer than the tRump
Musk fired back, “Without me, tRump would have lost the election"
Loomer shared a screenshot of Musk’s comments and wrote, “It’s heating up. Will be interesting to see what Republican lawmakers do now. I know law makers who are asking if they should side with President tRump or Elon. I’ve been on the hill all day and it’s all anyone is talking about. The most powerful man in the world vs the richest man in the world.”

Musk replied, “Oh and some food for thought as they ponder this question: tRump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years…”

Musk floats idea of third party amid feud with Trump

Billionaire Elon Musk seemed to suggest support of a third political party as he escalated a growing fight with President Trump that boiled over Thursday.

“Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle,” Musk wrote in a post on social platform X to his more than 200 million followers on the site, which he owns.

Musk attached a survey to his post that allowed users to vote “yes” or “no” on the idea of a third political party.

The post came hours after Trump expressed “disappointment” with Musk over the billionaire’s criticism of the “big, beautiful bill” the president is trying to push through Congress.

Musk has argued the bill is too large and contains too much wasteful spending, what he called “pork” in an earlier post on X.

After Trump pushed back on Musk’s opposition to the bill on Thursday, the billionaire wrote on X that the president would have lost last fall’s presidential election without him and called him “ungrateful.”

Musk, the richest person on earth, donated millions to Trump’s 2024 campaign, promoted his ideas on X and spoke for him at rallies around the country.

Trump rewarded Musk with unprecedented access to his White House and government, appointing him to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency, a job he left last week before the public falling out.

Oregon track star who refused to share podium with trans athlete reveals alleged conversation with officials after protest

An Oregon high school track and field star who refused to share a podium with a transgender athlete during the girls’ high jump medal ceremony alleged officials told her to move away from the ceremony if she wasn’t going to participate.

Tigard High School’s Alexa Anderson went viral when she protested the conclusion of the Oregon State Athletic Association’s Girls High Jump finale at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., on May 31.

Anderson and Sherwood High School’s Reese Eckard, who finished in third and fourth place, stood behind the ascending podium in the infield during the ceremony because they refused to stand next to Ida B. Wells High School transgender student Liaa Rose, who placed fifth.

US President Donald Trump says he was "very surprised" and "disappointed" with former ally Elon Musk's criticisms of his centrepiece budget bill.

"Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore," Trump told reporters in the White House on Thursday.

It was the president's most direct criticism yet of Musk's lobbying efforts against the proposals to cut taxes and slash government spending - a plan that has drawn criticism from Musk and some Republicans.

In response, Musk doubled down on X and accused the president of "Such ingratitude", adding: "Without me, Trump would have lost the election".

Musk left his post at the Department of Government Efficiency last week after 129 days on the job, and Trump presented him with a with a golden key during a congratulatory news conference on 30 May.

But in the days since, he has repeatedly criticised Trump's budget bill currently working its way through Congress, calling it a "disgusting abomination" and posting "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong."

The bill passed the House with the backing of most Republicans, with a handful of representatives from Trump's party and all Democrats opposed.

Speaking to reporters during a news conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Thursday, Trump said: "We are doing things in that bill that are unbelievable.

"I'm very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here," he said. "All of a sudden he had a problem."

"He hasn't said bad about my personally, but I'm sure that will be next."

Put in charge of radically slashing government spending, Musk initiated mass sackings and wholesale elimination of departments such as the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

Doge claims to have saved $180bn, although that number has been disputed, and is well short of Musk's initial aim to cut spending by up to $2 trillion.

Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to Lead U.S. Terror Prevention

https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-appoints-22-y-o-ex-gardener-grocery-store-assistant-as-us-homeland-department-terrorist-chief/

The inexperienced 22-year-old reportedly tasked by Donald Trump with tackling U.S. extremism was working as a neighborhood gardener just five years ago and in a grocery store as recently as August 2023, the Daily Beast can reveal.

Thomas Fugate, who graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio just 12 months ago, is currently heading up the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships at the DHS, as first reported by ProPublica Tuesday.

The center, also known as CP3, plays a vital role supporting nationwide efforts to combat terrorism and hate-fueled violence.

But according to the youngster’s LinkedIn page, Fugate has almost no experience in this field—and in 2020 was working as a self-employed ‘Landscape Business Owner.’

Consultant behind AI-generated robocalls mimicking Biden goes on trial in New Hampshire

A political consultant who sent voters artificial intelligence-generated robocalls mimicking former President Joe Biden last year goes on trial Thursday in New Hampshire, where jurors may be asked to consider not just his guilt or innocence but whether the state actually held its first-in-the-nation presidential primary.

Steven Kramer, who faces decades in prison if convicted of voter suppression and impersonating a candidate, has admitted orchestrating a message sent to thousands of voters two days before the Jan. 23, 2024, primary. The message played an AI-generated voice similar to the Democratic president’s that used his phrase “What a bunch of malarkey” and suggested that voting in the primary would preclude voters from casting ballots in November.

“It’s important that you save your vote for the November election,” voters were told. “Your votes make a difference in November, not this Tuesday.”

Kramer, who owns a firm specializing in get-out-the-vote projects, has said he wasn’t trying to influence the outcome of the primary election but rather wanted to send a wake-up call about the potential dangers of AI when he paid a New Orleans magician and self-described “digital nomad” $150 to create the recording.
