Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo filed a lawsuit against Attorney General Letitia James for failing to provide him with legal representation when he was taken to court over harassment allegations. "Sexually harassing young women who work for you is not part of anyone’s job description,’ a spokesperson for James told the New York Daily News Thursday. "Taxpayers should not have to pony up for legal bills that could reach millions of dollars so Mr. Cuomo’s lawyer can attack survivors of his abuse." According to court documents filed Wednesday, Cuomo argues that he is entitled to representation at the state's expense to defend a lawsuit against him because the allegations against him happened "while he was acting within the scope of his public employment and … [Read more...] about Andrew Cuomo sues NY AG to cover legal costs in harassment lawsuit

WASHINGTON — American labor leaders see this as a moment for radical change: Workers in Starbucks coffee shops and Amazon warehouses are rising up and demanding representation. Polls show millions more support unions or wish they had the chance to join them . President Biden, with majorities in both chambers of Congress, wants to lead the most pro-union administration since Franklin D. Roosevelt. “There’s a great reckoning and workers have had it,” said Mary Kay Henry, president of the Service Employees International Union, one of the largest and most influential unions. Yet even as experts acknowledge the newfound excitement around labor, they caution that unions, which have suffered decades of declining membership, are unlikely to turn the tide. Unions’ moment of opportunity could already be slipping away. Republicans are poised to gain seats in the November elections. And a potential recession could wipe away the rare leverage workers have held in the tight labor … [Read more...] about Labor unions are hot, but their moment may not last

Taiwan has called Beijing's claim to the self-governing democracy “wishful thinking" and launched its own military exercises. Taiwan’s “collusion with external forces to seek independence and provocation will only accelerate their own demise and push Taiwan into the abyss of disaster,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a daily briefing. “Their pursuit of Taiwan independence will never succeed, and any attempt to sell the national interest will be met with a complete failure," Wang told reporters. China’s attempt to intimidate the Taiwanese public and advertise its strategy for blockading and potentially invading the island was nominally prompted by a visit to Taipei last week by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The U.S., … [Read more...] about China renews Taiwan threats, island cites ‘wishful thinking’

King Tari Johnson is a 4-foot-8, 91½-pound 8-year-old from Stockton whose mother packs his Looney Tunes lunchbox with ham, salami and cheese sandwiches she cuts into his favorite shapes: stars, footballs and, of course, basketballs. He’s also the future of the NBA. At least, that’s what a couple of websites that track this sort of thing want you to believe. King Tari, with his smooth ballhandling, advanced footwork and deep shooting range, is considered one of the nation’s best third-grade basketball players. If all goes as planned, he could be a household name in, oh, about a decade. As for the near term? King Tari just wants a growth spurt. Of all the potential pitfalls on his path to the NBA, genes might prove his undoing: His father stands 5-10, and his mom is 5-2. “I’m hoping he grows to be at least 6 feet,” said Tari Johnson, King Tari’s dad and personal trainer. “That would definitely help his chances of getting to the league.” King Tari, a giggly, soft-spoken boy who … [Read more...] about He’s a top-ranked basketball prodigy.

That hasn’t stopped him from performing like an incoming starter for the Raiders.

In an intimate indie theater on Denver’s Northside, a stalled revolution for independence is getting its moment to strut and fret upon the stage. With an eye to contemporary conflicts, “Puerto Rican Nocturne” — at the Bug Theatre through Aug. 21 — recounts the ambush and murders of two unarmed, pro-independence activists in Puerto Rico in 1978. Arnaldo Darío Rosado-Torres was 25 and Carlos Enrique Soto-Arriví was 19 at the time of their deaths. Colorado Springs-based playwright Jon Marcantoni Rosa based his drama in part on writer Manuel Suarez’s book “Two Lynchings on Cerro Maravilla.” The playwright also found a painful echo in the more current stories of mothers grieving the death of sons gone too soon. The book’s subtitle doesn’t mince words: “The Police Murders in Puerto Rico and the Federal Government Cover Up.” And so, “Puerto Rican Nocturne” opens as a police officer named Gonzo is being called on the carpet by Detective Olivera (Tanis Joaquin Gonzales) for his presumed … [Read more...] about Theater review: “Puerto Rican Nocturne” at Bug Theatre features rich performances in a tragic tale
