      Bill Paxton family settles lawsuit with hospital over death

      The family of the late actor Bill Paxton has agreed to settle a wrongful death lawsuit against a Los Angeles hospital and the surgeon who performed his heart surgery shortly before he died in 2017, according to a court filing Friday. The suit, filed against Cedars-Sinai Medical Center more than four years ago, had been scheduled to go to trial next month. But attorneys for Paxton's wife of 30 years, Louise, and their two children, James and Lydia, filed a notice in Los Angeles Superior Court that they had agreed to settle the case.

      Cambodian refugee who came to US as 1-year-old is deported after no pardon from California Gov. Newsom

      A 48-year-old reformed inmate who served 25 years in prison was deported by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to Cambodia on Tuesday. Phoeun You, a former child refugee from Cambodia, was sent back to a country he is barely familiar with after failing to get a pardon from California Governor Gavin Newsom. Such a pardon would have allowed him to stay in the U.S., where his family has stayed for decades since fleeing the Khmer Rouge when he was a 1-year-old child.

      R. Kelly’s former goddaughter breaks down at his federal trial in Chicago, telling jury he filmed them having sex while she was a minor

      For the first time after two decades of swirling allegations, R. Kelly's former goddaughter has taken the stand as a prosecution witness in a case against the disgraced singer. Dressed in a white blazer with her hair in long braids, the woman, now 37 and testifying at Kelly's federal trial in Chicago under the pseudonym “Jane,” told the jury she had sexual contact with Kelly for the first time at 14. After testifying calmly for nearly two hours, Jane's voice grew quieter and began to break as she was asked to describe sexual encounters that Kelly recorded, including the now-infamous tape at the center of Kelly's 2008 child pornography trial.

      Husband sentenced to 65 years in Fitbit murder case

      A Connecticut man was sentenced Thursday to 65 years in prison for the 2015 killing of his wife, who prosecutors say was wearing a Fitbit exercise activity tracker with data that contradicted his statements to police. Richard Dabate, 46, of Ellington, was convicted by a jury in May of murder and other charges. The fatal shooting of Connie Dabate, 39, at the couple's home two days before Christmas in 2015 while their two young sons were in school drew national attention, with the unusual Fitbit evidence and details of Richard Dabate's affair with a woman who was pregnant at the time of the killing and later gave birth to their child.

      Mitch McConnell Is Shook About Not Getting the Senate Majority Title Back

      Previously The Root wrote about how Senate Republicans have no plan to present to the American people as to why they should take control after the midterm elections. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell isn't helping matters by thinking people still have stimulus money to spend as inflation remains high. With 21 Republican seats up for election, McConnell is facing the hard realization that he may not be getting the Majority title anytime soon.

      Trump Reportedly Now Fuming He Endorsed Dr. Oz For Senate

      Former President Donald Trump is increasingly upset he endorsed former TV personality Mehmet Oz to run for a Senate seat in Pennsylvania, sources have told Rolling Stone. He's going to “f**king lose” unless something drastically changes, Trump has complained about his pick, two sources who have discussed November's midterm elections with Trump told the publication. Oz, a heart surgeon, is stumbling in the polls, and Trump has asked his confidants how someone once so popular on TV can't keep his numbers up, according to Rolling Stone.

      Russia probe memo wrongly withheld under Barr, court rules

      The Justice Department under Attorney General William Barr improperly withheld portions of an internal memo Barr cited in announcing that then-President Donald Trump had not obstructed justice in the Russia investigation, a federal appeals panel said Friday. The department had argued that the 2019 memo represented private deliberations of its lawyers before any decision was formalized, and was thus exempt from disclosure. A federal judge previously disagreed, ordering the Justice Department to provide it to a government transparency group that had sued for it.

      Finnish PM: No drugs, just lots of dancing at 'wild' party

      Finland's prime minister says she did not take any drugs during a “wild” party in a private home, adding she did nothing wrong when letting her hair down and partying with friends. Later in the video, Marin, 36, is on her knees on what seems to be the dance floor with her arms behind her head dancing while mimicking a song. It was unclear when the party, which reportedly was attended by Ilmari Nurminen, a member of Eduskunta, or parliament, for Marin's Social Democratic Party, and the Finnish singer Alma, was held.

      Rudy Giuliani Cooks Up Bonkers New Excuse For Trump's Hoard Of Sensitive Docs

      Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and longtime sideman to Donald Trump, tried a new line of logic for the former president's actions: He was protecting the sensitive documents the FBI found at Mar-a-Lago. “Really, if you look at the Espionage Act, it's not really about taking the documents,” Giuliani said on Newsmax. Rudy Giuliani tells Newsmax that Trump was just trying to preserve documents by putting them in a safe place.

      Far-right wins in blue states threaten GOP hopes in November

      But Republican voters have nominated loyalists of former President Donald Trump in several Democratic states, including Maryland and Connecticut, making the GOP's odds of winning those general election races even longer. Massachusetts will face its own test next month as GOP voters decide between a Trump-backed conservative and a more moderate Republican for the party's gubernatorial nominee. It can't continue,” said former Connecticut U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, a moderate Republican and Trump critic, referring to the GOP choosing pro-Trump candidates.

      Graham effort to delay testimony in election probe rejected

      A federal judge on Friday said Sen. Lindsey Graham's appearance before a special grand jury investigating whether then-President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to influence the 2020 election in Georgia should not be delayed to allow him to continue to challenge it in court. Earlier this week, U.S. District Judge Leigh Martin May ordered Graham to honor his subpoena for the special grand jury. Graham's attorneys appealed that order to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and asked May to stay her ruling and prohibit the special grand jury from questioning him while that appeal plays out.

      Pence says he didn't leave office with classified material

      Former Vice President Mike Pence said Friday that he didn't take any classified information with him when he left office. The disclosure — which would typically be unremarkable for a former vice president — is notable given that FBI agents seized classified and top secret information from his former boss's Florida estate on Aug. 8 while investigating potential violations of three different federal laws. Former President Donald Trump has claimed that the documents seized by agents were “all declassified."

      In Mexico resort, squatters make a stand against developers

      Unchecked development has hit this once laid back beach town on Mexico's Caribbean coast so hard that developers are now eager — even desperate — to build condominiums and hotels in a shantytown. While police are trying to evict squatters so towering condos can be built next to wood and tarpaper shacks, residents are fighting back, saying they are tired of foreign investors excluding local people from their own coast. In the latest clash on July 27, police accompanying a backhoe fired tear gas and tried to knock down some squatters' homes in the shadow of a new, balconied condo building.

    Is there room for a 3rd political party?
    • “Like it or not, inside American politics, you’re on one side or the other. There is no in between.”

    • “Were a centrist coalition to arise in service of ‘bipartisan’ policy objectives, it would shift the political center of gravity.”

    • “Purported constituents for a centrist third party aren’t as large a group as is often imagined and aren’t really centrists, either.”

    • “A successful third party is one that integrates itself or its program into one of the two major parties.”

    • “Favoritism for party candidates is a tough mountain to climb … Americans prefer to vote for a candidate they believe can win.”
