Attorney General Kris Mayes took the first steps Friday to finally putting convicted murderer Aaron Gunches to death. Mayes asked the Arizona Supreme Court to set a “firm briefing schedule” to deal with the legal issues required before an inmate can be executed. Strictly speaking, she has not yet asked for the necessary warrant of execution. That, Mayes said, will not come until after any legal arguments have been heard. Aaron Gunches The reason for that is that an execution has to occur exactly 35 days after a warrant is issued. More to the point, if there are still pending…

Jalen Brunson could not avoid the injury report for Saturday’s home game against the Pistons. Brunson, who didn’t play the final 14-plus minutes of Thursday’s win over the Hornets after crashing hard to the floor in a third-quarter collision, has been listed as questionable with a lower back contusion. Tom Thibodeau said after Thursday’s game that the All-Star point guard “could have gone back in” after returning to the bench midway through the fourth quarter. But there was no reason to put Brunson back in the game with the Knicks up by more than 20 points. Jalen Brunson #11 of…

“Sì, mi ci vorrà del tempo, ma potrebbe essere una tappa”. Così Gino Cecchettin a Quarto Grado, rispondendo alla domanda sulla giustizia riparativa e un futuro confronto con Filippo Turetta. “Nel momento in cui il percorso viene fatto da entrambi, nel modo giusto. Quindi ci deve essere chiaramente un perdono sincero, e un percorso riabilitativo di un certo tipo.

Così potrebbe aiutare chi,…

Disinfecting wipes seem like an easy way to spruce up a dirty surface. But depending on who’s around – especially young children – using them might do more harm than good. Sales of disinfecting wipes skyrocketed in the early days of the pandemic. They’re convenient – but often overkill for a simple cleaning job. “Products labeled as disinfectants aren’t simply cleaners,” said Catherine Roberts with Consumer Reports. “They also contain pesticides, and because of this, they require more careful handling than you might expect for a product that frequently appears on back-to-school supply lists.” In many disinfecting wipes, the active…

The law Congress passed this year to force the Chinese parent company of social media giant TikTok to either sell the service or face a U.S. ban is constitutional, a panel of federal appeals judges ruled Friday. The order from a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals preserves the bipartisan law President Joe Biden signed in April forcing ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, to cease operations in the United States over concerns the platform’s data gathering could be obtained and used by the Chinese Communist Party. TikTok, ByteDance and a handful of users sued the administration to block enforcement…

Vice President-elect JD Vance and Republican committees asked the Supreme Court to overturn federal limits that restrict political parties from coordinating spending with candidates on the grounds that they violate the First Amendment.Limits on contributions to candidates are much lower than they are to party committees such as the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), which are also plaintiffs along with former Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio).“A political party exists to get its candidates elected. Yet Congress has severely restricted how much parties can spend on their own campaign advertising if done in cooperation with…
