The Illinois Supreme Court on Thursday overturned actor Jussie Smollett's conviction on charges that he staged a racist and homophobic attack against himself in downtown Chicago in 2019 and lied to police.

The Democrat-led Senate confirmed outgoing President Joe Biden's 220th lifetime appointment to the federal judiciary Wednesday night with eyes toward reaching — or eclipsing — the 234 judges confirmed by President-elect Donald Trump during his first term.

Democrats have been celebrating the conviction of Jose Ibarra for the murder of Laken Riley as “A Very, Very Late Term Abortion.” During the trial, defense attorney Ikyll B. Abies made a bold move by comparing Ibarra’s actions to a late-term abortion, arguing that it was a form of “women’s healthcare” and should be supported by progressive politicians.  “Jose Ibarra was simply exercising his right to choose in this case,” said Abies. “Just like women have the right to choose in matters of healthcare, Laken Riley’s murderer should be celebrated for his actions.”  AOC and Gov. Walz were quick to jump on the bandwagon, praising Ibarra’s actions as “a very, very late term abortion” and calling for more murderers to be released from prison in the name of progressive justice.  “This was clearly a legal and very, very late term abortion, and I support him,” said AOC. “We need to start looking at murderers as heroes, not criminals.”  Gov. Walz chimed in, “Minnesota will begin releasing murderers, I mean abortionists, tomorrow because of this new way of looking at murderers. I’m over the moon!”  The reaction to this controversial stance has been mixed, with some expressing support for the Democrats’ defense tactic and celebration of Ibarra’s actions, while others have laughed it off as yet another example of political grandstanding. Social media has been abuzz with memes and jokes mocking the Democrats’ stance, with many users pointing out the irony of a party that prides itself on progressive values celebrating the murder of an innocent person.  As the nation continues to grapple with this latest development, it remains to be seen how the Democrats’ celebration of Laken Riley’s murderer will impact the political landscape. One thing is certain, though: the party’s defense tactic and celebration of Ibarra’s actions have quickly become the talk of the town, and not in a way they likely intended.

President-elect Donald Trump has announced that he plans to replace the Federal Reserve with a far more reliable and trustworthy source of economic guidance: the Magic 8 Ball. During a press conference, Trump explained that he had grown tired of the Federal Reserve’s constant indecision and inability to make clear, concise decisions. He argued that the Magic 8 Ball, with its simple answers and straightforward guidance, would be a far more effective tool for managing the nation’s economy.  He also said that he is considering replacing the costly Congress with automated tellers. “The Magic 8 Ball never fails to deliver a clear answer, whether it’s ‘Yes,’ ‘No,’ or ‘Ask again later,'” said Trump. “I believe that this simple approach to economics will be far more effective than the constant flip-flopping we’ve seen from the Federal Reserve.”  The reaction to Trump’s announcement has been mixed, with some expressing support for his decision to replace the Federal Reserve with a Magic 8 Ball, while others have laughed it off as yet another example of political grandstanding. Social media has been abuzz with memes and jokes mocking the president’s choice, with many users pointing out the irony of a leader who prides himself on his business acumen relying on a toy for economic guidance.  As the nation continues to grapple with this latest development, it remains to be seen how the Magic 8 Ball’s role in the U.S. economy will impact the financial landscape. One thing is certain, though: President Trump’s decision to replace the Federal Reserve with a Magic 8 Ball has quickly become the talk of the town, and not in a way they likely intended.

Rust is finally out despite the controversy surrounding it after lead actor Alec Baldwin fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on set. The incident happened in 2021, and Halyna’s family claims Alec has yet to apologize. They boycotted the premiere and have issued a statement to slam Alec amid the movie’s release. The Rust premiere took place this week at the Camemirage Festival in Poland, and it was dedicated to Halyna Hutchins. Alec was absent from the event, but his second victim director, Joel Souza, who survived the shooting with injuries, did an introduction to the Western film. Organizers honor Halyna Hutchins at ‘Rust’ premiere   Alec Baldwin/ImageCollect Before the Rust premiere continued, there was a moment of silence in memory of Halyna, after which Souza explained his reason for continuing as director despite opting out after the shooting. He only changed his mind after Halyna’s husband, Matthew, urged him to remain in the credits. Matthew wanted the world to see his wife’s work, to honor every single frame she created. Meanwhile, Halyna’s family still has a civil lawsuit against Alec, who was absolved of the involuntary manslaughter case with prejudice years ago. Alec’s legal team moved to have the suit paused a day before the Rust premiere.
