The U.S. Should Not Be Subjecting Refugees To 'Reverse' Abortions

Image
A January report revealed Trump administration members discussed interfering with a young woman of color’s abortion while she was in federal custody. According to VICE News, officials in the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) considered delaying a 17-year-old refugee’s abortion procedure and instead engaging in an experimental method to “reverse” the abortion ― a controversial practice that some anti-abortion advocates have campaigned for. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2FDexyp via Latest News

NRA Sues To Block Brand-New Gun Law In Florida

Image
The National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit in federal court on Friday to block a new gun law in Florida just over an hour after it was signed by Republican Gov. Rick Scott, who is an NRA member. The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act — passed three weeks after a mass shooting at the school killed 17 people — raises the minimum legal age for buying any guns in Florida from 18 to 21 and would allow some teachers and other staff in the Florida school system to be armed after training. SB 7026 also prohibits gun ownership by people mental health problems and expands the three-day waiting period that had applied only to handguns to now include long gun purchases. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2tErlQD via Latest News

Trump sees 'tremendous success' in upcoming N.Korea talks

Image
President Donald Trump predicted "tremendous success" Saturday in upcoming groundbreaking talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and suggested the reclusive state wants to "make peace" despite a years-long nuclear standoff. The comments came after the American leader said he has received encouragement from the leaders of China and Japan, and assurance that North Korea had promised not to shoot missiles in the interim, as he moves toward the high stakes summit, announced suddenly this week. "I think North Korea is going to go very well, I think we will have tremendous success... We have a lot of support," Trump told reporters before boarding his Marine One helicopter to travel to a rally in Pennsylvania. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2oZD3QW via Latest News

House Oversight Committee chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) launched an investigation into the White House’s handling of the matter on Feb. 14, giving chief of staff John Kelly a deadline of Feb. 28 to submit information, particularly on why Porter worked under an interim security clearance to handle sensitive information. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2HlpEJy via Latest News

With little suspense, Xi to secure lifetime presidency

Fifty-six years after it’s publication, Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved children’s book A Wrinkle In Time came to the big screen under the direction of Ava DuVernay, the Oscar-nominated black woman filmmaker from Compton.

Kenya's president and opposition leader pledge to heal divisions in surprise announcement 

Image
Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga promised on Friday to unite the country after elections last year in which around 100 people were killed mainly in clashes between opposition supporters and security forces. The surprise announcement is likely to lower political tension in a country that is East Africa's richest economy and a key regional hub for security, diplomacy and trade. In a live television address with Kenyatta on the steps of the president's office, Odinga said the time had come to resolve their differences. It was the first joint public appearance of its kind by the two politicians since 2013. Kenyatta said: "We have a responsibility as leaders to find solutions. Elections come and go but Kenya remains." They said in a statement they have agreed to establish a new office staffed by advisers to tackle the divisions ranging from opposition complaints over the election to tensions between ethnic groups and corruption.

Wynn Resorts to pay $2.6 billion to settle lawsuit with Japan's Universal

Image
Wynn Resorts Ltd has agreed to pay $2.6 billion to settle a lawsuit brought by Japan's Universal Entertainment Corp and its U.S. unit, ending a six-year old dispute that pitted casino mogul Steve Wynn against his former associate Kazuo Okada. The size of the compensation was lower than market expectations and sent shares in Universal, a maker of Japanese-style slot machines and the operator of a casino in the Philippines, plunging 16 percent in Thursday trade in Tokyo. The lawsuit relates to Wynn Resorts' 2012 forced redemption of a stake held by Universal's unit Aruze USA at a 30 percent discount after an internal investigation by former FBI director Louis Freeh alleged Okada had violated U.S. anti-corruption laws. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2p2HE3Z via Latest News

Top ACLU Voting Rights Lawyer Rips Into Trump Expert's Evidence Of Kansas Voter Fraud

The ACLU’s top voting rights lawyer faced down one of President Donald Trump’s voter fraud commissioners in court on Friday, getting him to concede that he had shaky evidence of significant voter fraud in Kansas. The exchange came on the fourth day of a trial over a Kansas law that requires residents to prove they are U.S. citizens when they register to vote. Several residents who were not allowed to vote in the 2016 election are being represented by the American Civil Liberties Union in the suit against Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R). Dale Ho, director of the ACLU’s voting rights project, questioned Hans von Spakovsky, a former Justice Department official and member of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, who is one of the most prominent people arguing that noncitizen voter registration is a substantial issue. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2Ihrr3J via Latest News

Martin Shkreli sentenced to seven years in prison for securities fraud and defrauding investors

A judge has sentenced former drug company executive Martin Shkreli, who was vilified for vastly increasing the price of a lifesaving drug, to seven years in prison over an unrelated conviction on securities fraud charges. Shkreli, who become known as the “Pharma Bro” because of his image of a cocky young investor with an abrasive manner, was also ordered to pay $75,000 (£54,150) on top of a previous $7.36m (£5.31m) forfeiture order – which had included a one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album that Shkreli boasted of buying for $2m (£1.44m). In calling for a more lenient sentence, Shkreli’s own lawyer had even admitted he wanted to “punch him in the face” at times. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2Hjk7De via Latest News
