Now, at 92 years old, Hellerstein is presiding over the virtually unprecedented narcoterrorism case against ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The jurist is also overseeing President Trump’s continuing bid to move his hush-money case from state to federal court. Lawyers who have practiced before Hellerstein say he can be charming toward jurors but is tough on prosecutors and defense attorneys alike. For at least the past several years, lawyers say, he has appeared at times to nod off on the bench. (Lawyers and federal judges noted that Hellerstein is far from the only jurist to close his eyes—or even snooze—in court.)

LOADING ERROR LOADINGRock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Dave Matthews tore into President Donald Trump and his administration in the wake of Renee Nicole Good’s fatal shooting by an immigration officer in Minnesota earlier this week. “I don’t want my taxes to pay for ICE, to masked thugs to roam our streets and terrorize our communities and rip families apart,” Matthews said in a video posted on his birthday Friday. AdvertisementMultiple videos of Good’s killing showed the victim being surrounded by immigration officers while she was partially blocking a road. In the video shot from Ross’ perspective, a voice can be heard saying “fucking bitch” seconds after the gun goes off.

Thinking back, 21-year-old righthander Patrick Forbes considers it a blessing in disguise. Hit by a pitch early in his sophomore season at Louisville, Forbes broke a bone in his left hand, bringing an end to his days as a two-way player. He split time between hitting and pitching at Louisville, but the injury simplified things, and he adjusted quickly on the mound. “I think I had a lot of untapped potential there,” Forbes said. After a stint with USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team in 2024, Forbes was drafted 29th overall by the D-backs in 2025.

Forbes ranks the Dallas Cowboys as the most valuable and profitable sports franchise worldwide, valued at $13 billion with a $629 million operating income. DALLAS — The Dallas Cowboys aren't only the most valuable sports franchise in the world, they're also the most profitable, according to a new report from Forbes. Forbes looked at 211 franchises across 13 global leagues to come up with their 2025 valuations. The Cowboys' operating income is over $200 million higher than No. 2 Golden State Warriors ($409 million) and nearly $400 million more than any other global sports franchise outside of that.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a member of the state’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, said on Thursday on the CNN news channel that Noem’s statement is “an abuse of the term” “domestic terrorism”. What is ‘domestic terrorism’? Trump signed an executive order a few days before designating antifa, a broad, loosely affiliated coalition of left-wing activists, as a “domestic terrorist” organisation. “Essentially within hours of the incident occurring, labelling this activity as domestic terrorism, what that does is effectively strip domestic terrorism of its significance,” he said, calling it a “blatantly partisan effort to label it as domestic terrorism”. “So a government official calling her a domestic terrorist isn’t supported in the law and is entirely pejorative and prejudicial.”

We’ve reported today on remarks made by Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran’s last shah ousted by the 1979 Islamic Revolution. He said US President Donald Trump is “ready to help” protesters in Iran in the face of a brutal government crackdown. “Reza Shah, God bless your soul!”Pahlavi is the exiled son of Iran’s last shah, the Persian word for king. Pahlavi’s father Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was ousted during Iran’s 1979 revolution. Analysts say that it is unclear what might be driving the renewed excitement for the royal family in Iran.

Nothing I have seen comports with what Trump administration officials said in the aftermath. Vice President JD Vance called her “a deranged leftist.” President Trump said she “violently, willfully and viciously” ran over the ICE officer. And of course, there are the blanket pardons of more than 1,500 rioters, many of whom viciously assaulted police officers. Republican leaders, so many of whom blamed Trump for inciting the riot before bending the knee once again, wanted no part of Jan. 6 commemorations. Instead, House GOP members gathered at a Kennedy Center retreat, where Trump shamelessly blamed former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the violence.
