Ohio Pastor Files Federal Lawsuit Over Charges for Helping Homeless: An attorney for Pastor Chris Avell said city officials have launched a “smear campaign of innuendo and half-truths” to get him to stop hosting homeless people in his church. In court filings, Avell said he hosted an average of eight unhoused people per night at his church, Dad’s Place, “without incident” for several months before the city tried to stop him from keeping the facility open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Learning for life; The higher the level of education, the lower the risk of dying: Education saves lives regardless of age, sex, location, and social and demographic backgrounds. A new study shows that each additional year of education reduces risk of death by about 2%. The benefits of an 18-year education are comparable to eating enough vegetables in your diet. More education leads to increased resources that can help a person build a healthy lifestyle.

Mass layoffs are in store for 2024, and it might end up affecting nearly half of companies, according to a new poll: That’s the latest information from a Resume Builder survey, based on responses from more than 900 companies this month. Resume Builder is a professional platform that allows users to create resumes in just a few steps. When asked why the companies were engaging in the layoffs, half said the anticipation of a recession was a reason. Meanwhile, a little less, four in 10 said they are going to lay off employees and replace workers with artificial intelligence (AI).

A military transport plane that Russia said was carrying 74 people, including 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war to be swapped, crashed Wednesday in a border region near Ukraine. All aboard were killed, according to the governor. The flight was on its way to the southern region of Belgorod ahead of a prisoner exchange at the border when it was brought down by a “terrorist act,” the Kremlin said.

The victory for the incumbent president [sic] was the end product of a fervent write-in campaign orchestrated by New Hampshire Democrats, who were troubled by the national party’s decision to send the state’s first-in-the-nation primary election to more diverse South Carolina.

As he seeks immunity, Donald Trump uses flawed logic to compare presidents, police officers: Legal experts told PolitiFact that whatever the judicial ruling, Trump’s suggestion that he’s seeking what police officers already have is flawed. “What Trump seeks goes far beyond” the protections police officers have, said Ilya Somin, a George Mason University law professor. Trump’s lawyers have said in court that they are seeking much broader immunity than what police officers receive.

A new Supreme Court case threatens to take away your right to protest: A renegade federal appeals court, one dominated by MAGA-aligned judges who routinely read the law in ways that even the current, very conservative Supreme Court finds untenable, has spent the last half-decade harassing DeRay Mckesson, a prominent civil rights activist and an organizer within the Black Lives Matter movement.
