Court documents dated July 2 show Fernich has joined Raniere’s case. Fernich’s clients include drug trafficker Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, mob boss John Gotti and Jeffrey Epstein—the late financier charged with sex trafficking. “Personal autonomy and individual choice, however unorthodox, are essential values.

There will be two War Games matches featuring two teams squaring off in side-by-side rings that will be surrounded by a steel cage. Each team will enter one at a time in intervals until all members of both teams are inside the cage. At that point, anything goes until someone is either pinned or submits. Not only will there be a men’s War Games match but, for the first time ever, the women will get their own violent cage match....

“We recognize the power of body-worn cameras, but body-worn cameras are only as powerful as the transparency that comes with them,” the mayor said during a news conference.

Hordes of the city’s residents emerged from quarantine Saturday as temperatures pushed into the 70s and drew mask-wearing joggers, bikers and alcohol imbibers out of their months-long COVID-19 quarantine routines. Police regulated entrance to parts of Central Park and sidewalks outside of bars as law enforcement officers scattered throughout the city looked to quash social-distancing violations. Photographs on social media over the weekend revealed swells of city residents drinking alcoholic beverages from to-go cups of outside bars and lounging on top of each other in city parks – more often than not while failing to wear either masks or gloves....

In an effort to better understand the needs of each API group, the New York City Department of Health released a first-of-its-kind report that broke down the health data in the city by API ethnic groups, rather than lumping all groups together. The report notes that a history of racism and exclusionary immigration policies, such as the establishment of Japanese internment camps in 1942, the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, and more recently, the rise in anti-Asian violence and hate crimes have trickled down into API communities, impacting their overall health and well-being....

October 8-11, 2020 should once again be a time where fans pack the Javits Center. However, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and the recent closings of WonderCon in Anaheim, CA and the gigantic San Diego Comic Con (which prompted the first ever Comic-Con @Home), why hasn’t New York officially cancelled NYCC this year yet? Now is the time to make this decision.

Then a slump came at the worst possible time, with NYCFC managing just one win in its last seven regular season matches before being eliminated by a red-hot Columbus Crew side in the Eastern Conference playoff semifinals. That sudden slide, and premature exit cast a shadow over what had the makings of a special season. The reality is NYCFC still finished with the second best record in the league, even with the late-season swoon, and Patrick Vieira’s club has been aggressive in revamping its roster to try and close the gap on a Toronto FC squad widely regarded as the best to ever play in MLS....

Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers right-wing militia group, and Florida Oath Keepers leader Kelly Meggs, were both found guilty Tuesday by a jury. They are the first individuals to be convicted of seditious conspiracy charges since Omar Abdel-Rahman was found guilty in 1995 for his role in planning to bomb the World Trade Center in 1993.

Riding home over the Manhattan Bridge aboard the D train, for example, I received a phone call from the Obama campaign. Actually, it was comedian Chris Rock calling on behalf of Obama.
