    “The employment of individuals under the age of 21 in the cannabis industry is strictly illegal, a serious matter, and is not tolerated,” the statement said. “We encourage anyone with information about child labor or trafficking at any facility to immediately contact the Department.” Glass House did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday. But in a statement posted to X last week, the company said it “does not and has never employed minors.” Federal officials raided the company’s operations in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing campaign against undocumented immigrants in...

    Wilson Tindi, a Kenyan national who was convicted of sexually asssaulting a woman while she was asleep in Minnesota, had avoided deportation for years after completing his prison sentence. During that time, he got a job and was appointed an audit director at the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), where he used to check taxpayer spending and oversee internal accountability. That was until June 27, 2025, when authorities arrested him for an unrelated offense. Tindi, 42, who was in the country illegally, was convicted of criminal sexual conduct over a decade before being hired. In December 2014, he admitted to...

    Minnesota Public Radio ^ | 3 July 2025 | Dana Ferguson
    A Minnesota Department of Education headquarters employee has been forced out after a conservative news site reported on the man’s prior conviction of criminal sexual conduct. Agency officials confirm that Wilson Tindi's employment ended last week, although the department hasn’t said if he was fired or he resigned. The departure came after Alpha News, a news site that caters to the political right, posed questions to the agency about Tindi's 2016 conviction on fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct charges for which he served time in a county workhouse. Tindi worked as director of internal audit and advisory services for about two...

    There's been a cloudy forecast for "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin as her husband has been accused in a lawsuit of committing insurance fraud, which has become a "big thing" at ABC News, according to sources. "Doctors suffer because of big corporations as well, doctors that want to do good like my husband," Hostin told her colleagues. "[He] operates on someone even though they don't have insurance and then has to sue health insurance companies to get paid for the work that he's been trained his whole life to do."

    A yelling match erupted during a congressional hearing Thursday on the attempted assassinations against President-elect Donald Trump, as one congressman accused acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe of attending a 9/11 memorial event as part of a publicity stunt.

Pat Fallon displayed a picture of Rowe standing behind President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris during a 9/11 commemorative event in New York City in September. Trump and Vice President-elect Sen. JD Vance also attended the...

    Former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby was out partying with friends, supporters and family members at an event located several miles from her home in Baltimore over the weekend despite being ordered by a judge to a year of home detention. Mosby was convicted on one count of mortgage fraud in February after she testified that she unintentionally made false statements on loan applications to buy two Florida vacation homes. In November, she was convicted of two counts of perjury by a federal jury after she falsely claimed financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to withdraw money...

    A jury on Wednesday found a former Las Vegas-area Democratic politician charged with murder in the slaying of an investigative journalist who had written critical stories about him guilty. Jurors began deliberating Monday to determine if they agreed with prosecutors' claims that Robert Telles, 47, stabbed veteran investigative journalist Jeff German to death in September 2022, just months after German wrote stories critical of Telles and his workplace conduct, including allegations of an inappropriate romantic relationship with a female coworker. Las Vegas jurors deliberated for about four hours Monday before breaking for the evening. The panel of seven women and...

    “Migrant influencer” Leonel Moreno is having trouble coming up with the money for an attorney despite previously waving huge wads of $100 bills on social media, The Post has exclusively learned.

He antagonized fellow migrants and regular Americans alike with incendiary statements such as, “That’s the difference between you and me. I’m always going to make lots of money without much work, and you’re always going to be exploited and miserable...

    During 1911 and 1912 E.H. Armstrong was studying for the degree of Electrical Engineer at Columbia University; he was not an especially brilliant student, in fact in many of his courses he did rather poorly. The writer knows because Armstrone was on of his students. The characteristics of alternating current machinery in general, did not prove very enticing to the young student, not because he was lazy or indifferent but because he had a hobby - and a vision. He was experimenting at his home with wireless apparatus and trying to find out how the three electrode audion of De...
