NJ Rep. McIver dodges questions after fundraising off detention center charges
Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., refused to answer Fox News' questions over whether her motivations for storming a federal immigration detention center earlier this month was to increase her public image, after it was uncovered McIver had been fundraising off the incident that has led to federal charges for the New Jersey Democrat. The Department of Justice publicly outlined federal charges against McIver on Tuesday, accusing her of allegedly "assaulting, impeding and interfering with law enforcement" earlier this month at a Newark-area immigrant detention facility known as Delaney Hall.

Democrats openly eyeing 2028 presidential run in stark break with tradition
Are there any Democrats out there who aren’t running for president? Sure doesn’t seem that way. Back in the day, potential candidates would deny even thinking about it. I remember interviewing Marco Rubio in a Senate hallway about whether he might run in 2016. He denied even contemplating it. I knew it was bull. He knew it was bull. And, of course, he ran–and lost to Donald Trump.

Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis’ Unification Dreams On Hold: Hearn Considers Teofimo Lopez As A Stopgap Before A Potential 154-Pound Leap
Promoter Eddie Hearn isn’t ready to say whether Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis will stay at 147 to fight Teofimo Lopez or move up to 154 if he can’t get the unification clash he wants. Hearn says he favors Ennis (34-0, 30 KOs) staying at welterweight and fighting Teofimo. The two welterweight champions that Ennis needs to fight to become undisputed are busy defending against other fighters, and it’s questionable whether Hearn can offer them enough money without the Saudis getting involved.

Jewish families win court battle over special education funds in California
The state of California agreed in federal court Monday to stop barring children with disabilities who want to attend religious private schools from receiving special education funding.

‘Old guard’ Dem beats incumbent progressive in Pittsburgh mayor primary
Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey was ousted Tuesday in a stiff Democratic primary challenge from Corey O'Connor, the son of a former city leader who had the support of the party's "old guard" and some Republicans. Mayor Ed Gainey, seen as the progressive in the race, began the contest on roughly even footing in terms of campaign funding, but O'Connor, son of the late former Mayor Bob O'Connor, had outraised and outspent the incumbent by April – ultimately putting up a fight in a city that has not been competitive on a partisan level since the 1930s.
