We've got a courtroom curveball coming your way. A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., just made a ruling that might have ripple effects on over a hundred January 6 cases related to the Capitol attack in 2021. The three-judge panel took a close look at a lower court's decision to enhance a defendant's sentence due to "substantial interference with the administration of justice" during the Capitol attack. The catch? The appeals court deemed that the term "administration of justice" doesn't cover Congress's role in the electoral certification process. Translation: the enhanced sentences might not be on solid legal ground....

(Snip) Critics of the city’s leadership have argued that “defund the police” policies after the death of George Floyd have contributed to the crime crisis. Charles Allen, Ward 6 Democrat, and Brianne Nadeau, Ward 1 Democrat,...
