Detroit judge faces 45 years in prison on embezzlement charges, while another’s decisions being investigated

At least two judges in Detroit’s 36th District Court are facing serious allegations of wrongdoing, including one now on paid leave as she faces felony embezzlement charges.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan last week charged Judge Andrea Bradley-Baskin, 46, with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, several counts of money laundering, and one count of making a false statement to a federal law enforcement agent.

The charges stem from an alleged years-long scheme to embezzle money from incapacited invldiduals that also included Nancy Williams, 59, Bradley-Baskin’s father Avery Bradley, 72, and Dwight Rashad, 69. Click here to read more.

Trump Oversees Lowest Level of Illegal Immigration at Border in Over 50 Years

In Fiscal Year 2025, which includes almost four months of the end of the Biden administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) apprehended fewer than 238,000 illegal aliens at the southern border.

Compare those apprehensions to Fiscal Year 2024, President Joe Biden’s last full fiscal year in office, when more than 1.5 million illegal aliens were apprehended at the border, as well as Fiscal Year 2023 with more than two million apprehended and Fiscal Year 2022 reaching over 2.2 million.

“The 2025 total was the lowest in any fiscal year since 1970, according to historical data from the Border Patrol,” the Pew Research Center finds. Click here to read more.

Youth mental health trends marked by rapid technological change, shifting social habits

Technology is evolving faster than the safeguards meant to protect young people, and an erosion of human connection and social support systems is leaving youth with a deeper sense of isolation, according to youth mental health advocates.

But there’s also reason for hope, as experts track youth mental health trends to watch in 2026.

John MacPhee, the CEO of The Jed Foundation (JED), an organization focused on mental health for teens and young adults, laid out the emerging risks and opportunities in a blog post this week.

He wrote about how digital systems are optimized for engagement, not for care. He said public systems of support are shrinking as needs intensify. And he warned that social and economic systems are limiting pathways to connection, mentorship and purpose. Click here to read more.

 

Opposing vaccine requirements could cost GOP voter support, survey finds

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Nearly 8 in 10 Florida voters support keeping the state’s current school vaccine requirements, a survey by McLaughlin & Associates found. Support is especially high for polio and MMR vaccines, with about 85% backing the polio requirement.

Jim McLaughlin discussed the findings Tuesday on Florida’s Voice Radio with host Drew Steele, noting there appears to be bipartisan support across Republicans, Democrats, and independents. In particular, older voters were supportive, likely remembering polio before vaccines became widespread. Florida law still allows religious and medical exemptions, giving parents choice.

Rochester school board member sues board over violation of freedom of speech

Carol Beth Litkouhi, a trustee of the district’s board of education, filed suit in Oakland County District Court alleging that the board’s censure and removal of her committee assignments violated the First Amendment and Michigan law.

The Mackinac Center Legal Foundation is representing Litkouhi, who argues in her complaint that the board violated her constitutional rights and adopted an unlawful gag rule to silence dissent.

The lawsuit challenges a board bylaw adopted in 2024 that bars trustees from sharing any information that has not already been shared by the district, including — but not limited to — confidential or privileged information.

According to the complaint, that rule goes far beyond protecting confidential material and instead functions as a prior restraint on speech by elected officials. Click here to read more.

Flint man says city won't help him withe next door eyesoar.

He did everything right. Bought a broken-down home in Flint and rebuilt it for his family. Now he’s living next to a burned-out property that’s been sitting for months. He says he’s called for help over and over with no response. This is what happens when people trying to do the right thing are left on their own.

I’m trying to bring on help so I can keep delivering at a high level and grow this into something even bigger. But I can’t do that without your support.

Close the backdoor drug pipeline that’s emboldening enemies and harming the public

It’s not often that Congress gets a do-over or can correct the unintended consequences of the laws they pass. As a former acting secretary of Homeland Security, I saw first-hand how legal loopholes are exploited — by both U.S. entities and our adversaries — and their impact on the American people. That impact can largely be classified as either a public safety or ational security threat, and in many instances — both.

Today, we are seeing such impacts playing out with the highly potent drugs made with hemp-derived tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) flooding the market with largely unregulated distribution to America’s youth. Click here to read more.


 

Covid-19 vaccine injury program paid for one death in March, denials exceed 98%

The federal government’s Covid-19 vaccine injury compensation program paid benefits for seven injuries in March, including one death.

As of April 1, the program has compensated 51 of 6,944 claims decided, while denying 6,847 — a denial rate exceeding 98%.

The March payment marked only the second death benefit issued since the start of the pandemic.

The Countermeasure Injury Compensation Program (CICP), created under the PREP Act, is the primary path for claims related to Covid-19 vaccines. The law shields manufacturers from liability during public health emergencies. Click here to read more.

Playing Cops: Criminals Pretending To Be Police Is a National Problem

Working at a 24/7 bodega in the heart of Brooklyn, Tajuken Deli employees are prepared for almost anything – except having guns pointed at their heads by cops.

That’s what seemed to be happening one early April morning last year, when four armed men dressed in police uniforms flashed their badges, yelling “NYPD” as they stormed the neighborhood shop. Surveillance video shows one worker being quickly knocked to the ground and zip-tied into submission before being dragged to the back of the store. Another worker and customer were also subdued as the masked thieves dressed as cops made off with cash and a bag of lottery ticket receipts before fleeing in a dark van.

“You don’t know who to trust nowadays,” local resident Danny Taylor told a TV reporter. Click here to read more.

 

UFO whistleblowers issue chilling warning after Air Force officer was found dead before he could testify

UFO whistleblowers are facing alleged attempts to silence them as they move to expose what they believe are some of America’s most closely guarded secrets.

Investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell, who has helped bring multiple whistleblowers before Congress, warned that the risks facing these individuals extend far beyond public scrutiny.

‘They’re giving up their security clearance, they’re giving up their security, they’re putting their family at risk, they’re putting themselves at risk, if by stigma alone,’ Corbell, who details several cases in his upcoming film Sleeping Dog, told the Daily Mail. Click here to read more.

 

Big Brother Is Riding Shotgun: Driver

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A new surveillance era is set to get behind the wheel next year.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, passed by Congress in 2021 and billed as a way to help the country recover from the COVID-19 shutdowns, included a statute requiring new cars to have driver-monitoring systems. The goal is to detect impaired drivers through cameras and sensors that analyze eye movement, head position, and alertness.

U.S. Senators Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow (now retired) voted for the bill. In addition, then-House Representatives Dan Kildee, Elissa Slotkin, Andy Levin, Haley Stevens, Debbie Dingell, and Brenda Lawrence, all Democrats, voted yes. GOP Representative Fred Upton, now retired, also voted yes. Click here to read more.
