NEW YORK (AP) — A day after The Associated Press reported the Kushner family real estate firm owes over a half-million dollars in unpaid fines to New York City, an official is calling for a probe into the larger problem of why a whopping $1.5 billion fines has gone uncollected from landlords and others across the city. Councilman Ritchie Torres and the head of a tenant watchdog group sent a letter to the Department of Investigation on Tuesday calling for a probe into the city's "embarrassingly inept" efforts to make "delinquents" pay up.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Justice Department review of a program aimed at helping detained immigrants navigate the country's complex immigration court system has found that people in the program had longer detention stays and were less likely to get lawyers than people not in it.

It said the Justice Department review had "insurmountable" flaws... Читать дальше...

WEST CHESTER, Pa. (AP) — A man has pleaded guilty to third-degree murder in the shooting death of a recent high school graduate during what police say was a road rage confrontation last year in southeastern Pennsylvania. Twenty-nine-year-old David Desper entered the plea Wednesday in Chester County in the death of 18-year-old Bianca Roberson.

REDMOND, Ore. (AP) — One of the largest U.S. congressional districts voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump in 2016, yet an Oregon Democrat campaigning against a Republican incumbent doesn't see it as hostile territory. Buoyed by electoral wins by a couple of Democrats elsewhere in Trump territory, candidate Jamie McLeod-Skinner is undaunted, traveling a district that's as big as North Dakota in her Jeep and tiny trailer that she sometimes sleeps in. McLeod-Skinner is enduring all this because she... Читать дальше...

Nearly a year after Russian government hackers meddled in the 2016 U.S. election, researchers at cybersecurity firm Trend Micro zeroed in on a new sign of trouble: a group of suspect websites. The sites mimicked a portal used by U.S. senators and their staffs, with easy-to-miss discrepancies. Emails to Senate users urged them to reset their passwords — an apparent attempt to steal them. Once again, hackers on the outside of the American political system were probing for a way in. “Their attack methods... Читать дальше...

“The Big Bang Theory”  Maybe it’s the heavy-handed laugh track or the recurring jokes that grew stale after an 11-season run, but “The Big Bang Theory” has frequented many a “hate-watch” list. The “geek squad” has become a sort of tired trope, and with hipper, darker shows such as “Silicon Valley” saturating the television landscape, perhaps “The Big Bang Theory” has come to a rightful end. “Bachelor in Paradise”  If “The Bachelor” is like a holiday trip to Aspen, “Bachelor in Paradise” is spring break on the most depraved beaches of Cabo.
