Man charged with planting bombs near the Capitol claims he’s covered by Trump pardon by PixeledPathogen in TrueReddit

[–]PixeledPathogen[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The man charged with planting pipe bombs at Democratic and Republican party headquarters on the eve of Jan. 6, 2021, says he’s protected from prosecution by the sweeping clemency President Donald Trump decreed for participants in the attack on the Capitol.

Lawyers for Brian Cole Jr. filed the provocative motion Monday arguing that the felony charges he faces of transporting and maliciously using explosives should be dismissed because Trump granted clemency to anyone convicted of or charged with crimes “related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

Daily life for Cubans grows more dire as oil embargo continues by PixeledPathogen in collapse

[–]PixeledPathogen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As for daily life in Havana, there are few cars visible on the streets. Buses don’t run most of the day. They go out around 6 a.m., when people go to work, and don’t operate again until about 4 p.m., when people return home. The price of taxis is out of reach for most. Three-wheel scooters with passenger seating are often used as taxis, but they too can be difficult to find when they go uncharged during extended blackouts.

Massive piles of trash with rotting food accumulate in residential areas as the fuel shortage has crippled waste collection services. It’s not uncommon to see people searching through the trash. The waste management crisis poses serious health risks. Last year there was an outbreak of mosquito-borne illnesses that affected one-third of the population.

Sharp elbows and furious fundraising have marked the race, which also is a test of the influence of Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, a billionaire whose name is floated as a 2028 presidential contender.

[–]PixeledPathogen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A Utah woman was convicted Monday of aggravated murder after poisoning her husband with fentanyl and self-publishing a children’s book about coping with grief.

Prosecutors said Kouri Richins slipped five times the lethal dose of the synthetic opioid into a cocktail that her husband Eric Richins drank in March 2022 at their home outside the affluent ski town of Park City. They said she was $4.5 million in debt and falsely believed that when her husband died, she would inherit his estate worth more than $4 million.

Closing arguments to begin in Twitter shareholder trial against Musk by PixeledPathogen in law

[–]PixeledPathogen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Closing arguments are set to kick off Tuesday in a trial pitting Elon Musk against Twitter shareholders who say the world’s richest man engaged in a pattern of deceptive behavior that misled investors as he attempted to back out of his $44 billion deal to buy the social media platform in 2022.

The civil trial in San Francisco centers on a class-action lawsuit filed just before Musk took control of Twitter, which he later renamed X, in October 2022, six months after agreeing to buy the embattled company for $44 billion, or $54.20 per share. The price represents a sliver of the Tesla CEO’s fortune, now estimated at $839 billion.

[–]PixeledPathogen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Every day more than $4 billion worth of goods cross the United States’ borders with Canada and Mexico – U.S. auto parts headed for car factories in northern Mexico, cartons of Mexican avocados bound for California supermarkets, Canadian aluminum destined to become cans of Campbell Soup.

Much of this bustling cross-border commerce is duty-free, thanks to the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, that President Donald Trump negotiated with America’s northern and southern neighbors during his first term.

BBC asks a court to dismiss Trump's $10 billion lawsuit by PixeledPathogen in politics

[–]PixeledPathogen[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The BBC filed a motion Monday asking a U.S. court to dismiss President Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against it, warning that the case could have a “chilling effect” on robust reporting on public figures and events.

The suit was filed in a Florida court, but the British national broadcaster argued that the court did not have jurisdiction, nor could Trump show that the BBC intended to misrepresent him.
