Hershey received a treat Friday when a judge dismissed a lawsuit claiming the company's Reese's candies tricked customers by depicting spooky Halloween designs on their packaging, while the unwrapped chocolates were in fact featureless. U.S. District Judge Melissa Damian ruled Friday that the consumers who filed the class-action lawsuit failed to show that the lack of confectionary details on the chocolate and peanut butter candies, such as missing mouths and eyes on jack-'o-lanterns, ghosts and other Halloween-themed figures, had cause them economic harm.

Podcaster and MAGA-friendly comedian Theo Von isn’t happy with his image being used in a Department of Homeland Security video touting the Trump Administration’s deportation numbers. Yesterday DHS posted a 31-second video clip on X that claims 2 million illegal immigrants have been deported during Trump’s second term. The video shows Trump saying, “They simply stopped coming.

On June 1, Goonan placed a bag of six incendiary devices under a UC Police Department patrol car near the UC Berkeley campus, an act caught on surveillance video. Ten days later he attacked an...
