Judge Subramanian has ruled on Sean “Diddy” Combs’s request for an evidentiary hearing over notes taken from his jail cell. He says no hearing is needed. "The generic nature of the notes makes it unlikely that any improper use of the information has or could be made."

Judge Torres has weighed in on Jay-Z v. Tony Buzbee, and it's a win for Buzbee. She's allowing the plaintiff to proceed anonymously, at least for now, and she called out Alex Spiro's tactics. "The Court will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it."

Picture a little 4 year old child that you know and imagine this happening to them. This is a profoundly sick society www.haaretz.com/opinion/2024...
"A new commander came to us. We went out with him on the first patrol at six in the morning. He stops. There's not a soul in the streets, just a little 4-year-old boy playing in the sand in his yard. The commander suddenly starts running, grabs the boy, and breaks his arm at the elbow and his leg here. Stepped on his stomach three times and left. We all stood there with our mouths open. Looking at him in shock ... I asked the commander: "What's your story?" He told me: These kids need to be killed from the day they are born. When a commander does that, it becomes legit."
