A Bronx judge on Friday delivered a bench verdict of guilty in the state’s manslaughter case against 38 year-old NYPD Sgt Erik Duran in the fatal August 2023 Igloo cooler-ing of 30 year-old drug dealing suspect Erik Duprey, WABC reports. Duran and his squad had just caught Duprey – also a DoorDash driver – selling an unspecified quantity of an unspecified narcotic substance to an undercover cop when Duprey jumped back on his electric bike and attempted to flee the scene.

Duran then picked up a mid-sized red Igloo cooler and flung it at Duprey, causing the suspect to lose control of his electric bike and suffer a fatal head injury after crashing into a tree. It’s not clear when the last time an NYPD officer used anything other than a gun, a taser, or a squad car to kill a fleeing suspect. Also unclear is whom the cooler belonged to and if they’ll get it back now that the trial is over. Prosecutors with the New York Attorney General’s office displayed it in court during the trial.

We just want the same standard for all. https://t.co/0Syh7F25Gk

A Missouri federal judge on Thursday tossed the Show Me State’s batshit stupid lawsuit against Starbucks alleging that service quality was suffering because the global coffee chain hired too many women and minorities, KTVI reports on the fate a case that now-Deputy FBI Director Andrew Bailey had abandoned when he quit his post as Attorney General to go work under fucking Kash Patel.

District judge John Ross ruled that the state did not identify “even a single Missouri resident” who was denied a job or otherwise harmed due to Starbucks’ employment practices and yeah, no shit. Bailey’s a DC-area resident now and he wasn’t available to testify that some 19 year-old Black woman was a little extra chatty with a coworker while he was waiting for his latte, therefore DEI.

“Serving the people of Nevada has been the honor of my lifetime. Nobody is prouder of our Nevada Congressional District than me. Thank you for the honor. Every achievement worth doing began with listening to Nevadans and fighting for our values. I came to Congress to solve problems and to make sure our State and Nation have strong voice in the federal policy and oversight processes. I look forward to finishing my term. After 15 years of service, I believe it is the right time for Nevada and myself to pass the torch,” said Nevada Republican Mark Amodei in a statement on Friday.

Amodei is 67 and could stick around at least another three or four terms in his safe red seat if he really wanted to. But he was there while the GOP were in the minority for four years, and no doubt he fucking hated it – especially in 2019 he got reamed out for he reacting too fast to the first reporting on the Ukraine shakedown attempt that lead to Trump’s first impeachment. Not hard to imagine the frustrations of that stretch are weighing on his decision to quit.

I am urgently calling on @gavinnewsom to agree to NOT release the 33,179 criminal illegal aliens in California’s custody back into the public without notifying ICE.

The crimes of these aliens include 399 homicides, 3,313 assaults, 3,171 burglaries, 1,011 robberies, 8,380…

Convicted felon President Trump’s servants have indirectly admitted he’s a fat fucking racist and removed the Obama apes video from his personal Truth Social feed, CNN’s Alayna Treene reports, writing that “The White House has now taken down the post. A senior WH official tells me: ‘A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down.’ It was up for 12 hours.”

Copied that verbatim to carry the credulity in Treene’s reporting because the video was posted at (roughly) 11:44 PM EST on Thursday night. Who the hell else is using Trump’s Truth Social feed at that hour if not the top “staffer” in the White House? The other part about the White House taking it down for him is 100 percent believable though. Of course he wouldn’t admit fault by doing it himself.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of the opening ceremonies of the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics, World Anti-Doping Agency Chief Witold Banka told reporters he’s aware of the claims that some male ski jumpers are injecting hyaluronic acid into their penises to get a competitive advantage and has put his team on the case, AFP reports without actually explaining what hyaluronic acid is supposed to do to make it easier. The article then goes on a brief tangent about athletes in the sport having been caught making subtle alterations to the seams on the crotch areas of their suits – thus reducing air friction during a jump – during a major meet last year.

“Ski jumping is very popular in Poland so I promise you I’m going to look at it,” Banka said, the AFP noting that he was smiling. His second-in-command, WADA director general Olivier Neggli, then said he’s “not aware of the details of ski jumping – and how this can improve performance – but if anything was to come to the surface we would look at anything if it is actually doping-related.”

Chuck E Cheese parent company CEC Entertainment this week announced CEO David McKillips will be stepping down effective February 13th and replaced with CFO Scott Drake, Restaurant Business reports on a leadership change coming after McKillips’s name appeared in the Epstein files.

All of that is accurate. McKillips is really stepping down and his name really is in the Epstein files, appearing once on a list of speakers at some 2018 conference that some guy named Aziza Alahmadi copied and pasted in an email to Dirty Jeff. The facts at hand here demonstrate that any schmuck on the internet with a platform can impugn the name of an exec who may or may not otherwise be an asshole degenerate simply because it’s easy to imply causality to his departure by omission.

McKillips was with Six Flags at the time. Why he’s actually leaving Chuck E Cheese is not clear but that it’s obviously a planned and orderly succession should tell you the terms are at least amicable enough. Maybe he’s taking over at Dave and Buster’s, who cares. The actual problem here is that McKillips can be impugned by that technically accurate headline while the name of whoever Jeff emailed to say “where are you? are you ok, I loved the torture video,” in 2009 is completely opaque.

Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House. The President should remove it. https://t.co/gADoM13ssZ

Former confirmed bachelor South Carolina Senator Tim Scott might have just been using an expression of wishful thinking rather than saying he was literally praying that it was fake, because it is not. His Orange God Emperor really did post the video depicting the Obamas as apes in a jungle.

Two South Florida residents on Thursday petitioned a court to block heels-wearing Governor Ron DeSantis’s planned attempt to redraw the state’s congressional maps to make it easier for Republicans to win, arguing it’s a violation of the state constitution, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Arguing that Tiny D and Secretary of State Cord Byrd’s prep maneuvers “commandeer the Legislature’s authority to decide whether and when to re-draw Florida’s congressional boundaries” and that their “actions have already disrupted Florida’s impending elections by casting significant uncertainty on the future of Florida’s congressional map and the relevant candidate filing deadlines,” the petitioners, backed by Dem elections lawyer Marc Elias and a Florida-based voting litigation firm, seek and enjoiner on the grounds of the state’s “strict separation of powers doctrine.”

Sounds solid, making the only real question what kind of outcome-based justification the state Supreme Court will come up with to allow DeSantis and his minions to go ahead and gerrymander.

Convicted felon President Trump will have to reduce the number of conflicts he claims to have settled back to seven as the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels keep staging attacks against the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s government forces along the country’s volatile eastern border.

Reuters doesn’t even bother trying to tally the dead in the region, only counting 115 wounded soldiers and civilians in a 25-bed community hospital in the town of Fizi late last month. Without actually saying it, the wire service seems to be trying to paint a picture of a conflict as ugly as it has ever been over the past few years, if happening further out in the sticks and away from media.

“The highlands around Uvira are highly strategic: whoever controls them has access to major towns in the lowlands,” said Regan Miviri, an analyst at the Ebuteli research institute in Kinshasa. “And because ⁠the area is so remote, the fighting there draws less attention and less diplomatic ​pressure.”

Meaning Trump can just continue lying and count it as one of the eight conflicts he claims to have ended and if it gets worse he can just say it’s still eight because he stopped the US from going to war with Denmark over Greenland. He really earned that Nobel that Maria Corina Machado won.

A “gardener” illegally in the U.S. knocked a 24 yr old mother unconscious, then brutally raped her. The last people we should be listening to are liberal Republicans who treat illegal immigration as a right.https://t.co/IultTEce5a https://t.co/fx625i3fKH

Skinney wiener Jared Kushner is working to form a group of “Iranian-American business leaders to advise on the formation of some sort of transitional entity to help govern Iran in the event of the regime’s collapse,” the National reports on Kush planning the next money-making opportunity when he hasn’t even gotten his shit together on the Gaza one yet. Oh and the Belgrade one collapsed too.

Russian Lt Gen Vladimir Alexeyev, the second-in-command of the GRU, was shot several times by an unknown assailant in Moscow on Friday, the BBC reports. Nobody has any idea whether it was a Ukrainian hit or a Putin hit. Alexeyev has been hospitalized and his condition remains unknown.

Jeffrey Epstein's unusual close relationship with Ehud Barak doesn't suggest Epstein worked for Israel. It proves the opposite.

Stuck on his election loss from over two decades ago, Barak has for years obsessively attempted to undermine Israeli democracy by working with the…

— Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו (@netanyahu) February 6, 2026

“By working with the anti-Zionist radical left in failed attempts to overthrow the elected Israeli government. Barak’s personal fixation led him to engage in activities publicly and behind the scenes to undermine the government of Israel, including fueling mass protest movements, fomenting unrest and feeding false media narratives,” the genocidal dictator continued after the cutoff.

The problem, and there’s always a problem, is that Epstein once asked Barak – a former high-ranking Israeli intel official – to go out of his way to deny that Jeff had any Mossad ties. “You should make clear that i dont work for mossad :)” Epstein wrote to Barak in the mid-2010s.

It’s hard to make a 1:1 comparison but some blue political nerds on Twitter are amped because turnout was pretty freaking high in the Thursday night primary ahead of the April 16 special to replace now-New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill in the Garden State’s 11th District. At an estimated 91 percent counted per the New York Times‘s tracker, 61,382 votes were cast in the Dem primary, exceeding the 51,848 cast in the June 4, 2024 primary when now-Senator Andy Kim was challenging Gold Bars Bob Menendez statewide and the 37,948 in the 2022 D primary when Sherrill was running uncontested (probably because of something something machine politics).

The turnout surge could be chalked up to how tightly contested it was: Former Bernie Sanders aide Analilia Mejia leads former NJ-7 Dem Congressman Tom Malinowski by 0.79 percent and the race is still too close to call. Punchbowl News reports that AIPAC fucked themselves by spending against Malinowski for the sin of reading the room and being open to conditioning to Israel only to end up with Mejia in the lead and you already guessed that she’s not a skinnier female Randy Fine.

Contested or not it’s still noteworthy for turnout in a special election primary on a random Thursday night in February to be significantly higher than it was during the last two regular D primaries.

Convicted felon President Trump late Thursday posted a video that was mostly about some 2020 election conspiracy bullshit but in the end abruptly cut to a cartoony depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama as apes bobbing along to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” as recorded by the Tokens.

Remember how the Trump Administration was holding up the $6.9 billion in federal funds for the Gateway Tunnel project – which was allocated by President Joe Biden in 2021 – because of something something illegal DEI hiring practices in the contracting process? Well it seems that the president isn’t really all that concerned about the scourge of reverse racism in economic opportunities in public works projects because Punchbowl News reports that the fat fuck told Chuck Schumer he would release the funds if Democrats vote to rename Manhattan’s Penn Station to Trump Station and Virginia’s Dulles International Airport to Trump International Airport.

Watch all the MAGA white nationalists suddenly turn on Trump for compromising their principles, lol.

“There’s nothing to trade. The president stopped the funding and can restart the funding with a snap of his fingers,” said a source close to the Senate Minority Leader. While obviously a good point, that they have no reason to trust Trump – also both states are suing the demented old slob anyway and will probably win, which may’ve been what prompted fat Donald to make this “offer” – maybe Team Schumer could’ve also made clear that he’d only agree to vote yes on the renaming the transport hubs if Trump dumped a can of gasoline on himself and lit a match on live television.
