On May 5, lawyers representing a U.S. Marine veteran
defended his actions which led to the death of
a homeless man aboard an F train in Manhattan last week.
.
Lawyers for 24-year-old Daniel J.
Penny claim
that Jordan Neely was "aggressively threatening"
people on the train before that fatal attack.
.
NBC reports that representatives for Neely's
family accuse Penny of showing no remorse
or regard for the life of their loved one.
Daniel Pennyās press release is not an
apology nor an expression of regret, Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards, Attorneys
representing the family of Jordan Neely, via NBC.
It is a character assassination, and a clear example of why he believed he was entitled to take Jordanās life, Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards, Attorneys
representing the family of Jordan Neely, via NBC.
Lawyers for Penny claim that Neely suffered
from mental illness and has a documented
history of erratic and violent behavior.
NBC reports that Neely's family argue that
Penny was unaware of the homeless man's
struggles when he put him in a chokehold.
The truth is, he knew nothing
about Jordan's history when he
intentionally wrapped his arms
around Jordanās neck, and
squeezed and kept squeezing, Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards, Attorneys
representing the family of Jordan Neely, via NBC.
He never attempted to help him
at all.
In short, his actions on the train,
and now his words, show why
he needs to be in prison, Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards, Attorneys
representing the family of Jordan Neely, via NBC.
NBC reports that Penny was released
after being questioned by police
and has yet to be charged with any crimes
In a recent address to reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov referred to the United States as an āenemy,ā signalling a potential hardening of Moscow's rhetoric. While it remains uncertain if this language reflects an official change in policy, Peskov emphasised that only President Vladimir Putin can make such determinations. The Kremlin spokesman's comments were partly in response to Washington's refusal to allow former US Marine, UN weapons inspector, and RT contributor Scott Ritter to travel to St. Petersburg. Peskov described this as āthe latest manifestation of the rabid campaign to prevent US citizens from interacting with the Russian Federation.ā He suggested that such a refusal would only be āunderstandableā if it were related to Ritter's former intelligence status. āWe are now an enemy country for them ā much like they are for usā Peskov stated, noting that travel restrictions on former intelligence officers to hostile countries are common worldwide.

On June 20, the Supreme Court upheld a tax on foreign
corporate investments enacted by a Republican-controlled
Congress under former President Donald Trump.
NBC reports that the case had attracted scrutiny when
conservative Justice Samuel Alito refused to recuse
himself despite ties with one of the challenging lawyers.
The case revolved around whether an individual can be
forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned
companies regardless of if they were a source of income.
The case revolved around whether an individual can be
forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned
companies regardless of if they were a source of income.
According to the 16th Amendment
of the Constitution, Congress has the
power to "collect taxes on incomes.".
In the case, Charles and Kathleen Moore claim they were
unfairly taxed on their $40,000 investment in an
India-based company called KisanKraft Machine Tools. .
While the company made a profit, the Moores
claim that they received no dividends and that
the money was reinvested in the business.
As a result, the Moores did not pay taxes between
2006 and 2017 on what the U.S. government later
defined as income from their investment. .
Due to a provision that was part of a major tax law
enacted by former President Donald Trump in 2017,
the Moores paid $15,000 in additional taxes.
They later sought a refund for that payment,
arguing that they had been unlawfully taxed
based on an increase in the value of a capital
investment not qualifying as income.
The couple's challenge was rejected
by the Supreme Court 7-2

NBC reports that Murthy warned that the

has become an urgent problem, citing social
media as "an important contributor.".
According to Murthy, the warning would include
language that alerts users to potential mental health
harms associated with using social media.
A surgeon generalās
warning label, which requires
congressional action, would
regularly remind parents and
adolescents that social media
has not been proved safe, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Evidence from tobacco labels
shows that surgeon generalās
warnings can increase
awareness and change behavior, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Murthy reportedly went on to
acknowledge that a warning alone has
limitations and fails to make social media safe.
In an op-ed published in 'The New York Times,'
Murthy linked the amount of time spent using
social media with an increased risk for children
to develop anxiety and depression.
