Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lawyers claim he might not have been mentally capable of crimes due to drug use

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lawyers claim he might not have been mentally capable of crimes due to drug use Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team has claimed that the disgraced music mogul might not have been mentally capable of committing crimes due to his substance use. “The noticed testimony relates to the defendant’s diminished capacity to form the mens rea required to commit the charged offenses — in other words, a ‘mental condition bearing on the issue of guilt,’” prosecutors wrote in their filing, per documents obtained by People. In February, Combs’ legal team claimed that the US law is racist and the reason he is being “singled out” in what they call a “clear case of selective prosecution.” In documents obtained by The Post, Combs’ lawyers filed a motion to dismiss his transportation to engage in prostitution charge, arguing that “no white person has ever been the target of a remotely similar prosecution.” The rapper’s legal team sought to have the charge thrown out on the basis that the Mann Act of 1910 has historically been used to “target black men.” Start your day with all you need to know Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.

Mark Carney Claims Election Victory, Warns Canadians ‘Trump Is Trying to Break Us’

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party claimed victory in Canada’s federal election on Monday night, with the former banker using his victory speech to grimly warn Canadians “Trump is trying to break us.” In his address before supporters in Ottawa, AP reports Carney stressed the importance of Canadian unity in the face of what he perceived as Washington’s threats. As Breitbart News reported, the election followed a turbulent season in which the Liberal Party “attempted to make President Donald Trump the top issue of the race,” while the Conservatives offered to depart from “what they call the ‘lost Liberal decade.’” Latest polling counts show Carney’s Liberal Party is expected to win enough seats in the House of Commons to form a government.

ANDREW SURABIAN: Trump Gives Venezuelans A Reason Not To Illegally Migrate

This shift follows President Trump’s decision to allow U.S. oil companies to export Venezuelan oil, a strategic move that benefits both American consumers and our national security interests. Even worse, the Biden administration’s reckless border policies contributed to a surge in fentanyl and other deadly drugs, taking countless American lives through overdoses and crime, including Laken Riley, whose murder at the hands of an illegal Venezuelan migrant serves as a stark reminder of what happens when leaders refuse to prioritize American safety. President Trump, however, never wavered on what American voters wanted: A secure border, the deportation of illegal and violent migrants, and an immigration policy that protects American workers and families.

Patients’ Group Praises Trump For ‘Radical’ Health Care Executive Order

In February, Trump signed an executive order meant to require “hospitals and health plans to deliver meaningful price information to the American people.” The billboards feature graphics of Trump in a Superman-style outfit with the words “President Trump Delivers Healthcare Price Transparency” and “Trump To Give Americans Real Prices In Healthcare!” PatientsRightsAdvocate is an organization that seeks to improve the healthcare industry by promoting competition and efficiency. Soon, patients will be able to shop for the best quality of care at the best price.” In his executive order, Trump directed his administration to ensure that hospitals make “more meaningful price information available to patients to support a more competitive, innovative, affordable, and higher quality healthcare system.” Trump directed the secretaries of Treasury, Labor, and HHS to come up with guidance to enforce the transparency regulations. This is why we need healthcare price transparency, which President Trump is making a reality through his executive order.” Part of Trump’s executive actions include making hospitals state more explicitly how much specific tests and treatments will cost.

The Rangers job is Mike Sullivan’s if he wants it — but it comes with questions

Should I simply pull out a sentence from either the 2021 or 2023 coaching searches to remind folks there have been three head coaches in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup with more than one team, with the one and only Scotty Bowman able to pull off the feat over the past eight decades? (Tommy Gorman won the Cup in 1934 with the Blackhawks and in 1935 with the Montreal Maroons, and Dick Irvin was behind the bench when the 1932 Maple Leafs and 1946 Canadiens captured the chalice.) So when Mike Sullivan, who “parted ways” with the Penguins on Monday morning, gets his next gig, will Pittsburgh’s 2016 and 2017 Cup-winning coach become the fourth name on that exclusive list, or will the 57-year-old fall short like a multitude before him?

Disgraced Cardinal Becciu formally withdraws from participation in conclave to elect pope

Disgraced Cardinal Becciu formally withdraws from participation in conclave to elect pope The Italian cardinal at the heart of the Vatican’s “trial of the century” announced Tuesday he was withdrawing from participating in the upcoming conclave to elect a new pope for “the good of the church.” Cardinal Angelo Becciu’ s status has dominated discussions in the days after Pope Francis’ death amid questions about whether he would participate in the conclave to elect Francis’ successor. On Tuesday, the 76-year-old Italian issued a statement through his lawyers that said: “Having at heart the good of the church, which I have served and will continue to serve with fidelity and love, as well as to contribute to the communion and serenity of the conclave, I have decided to obey as I have always done the will of Pope Francis not to enter the conclave while remaining convinced of my innocence.” Becciu was once an influential Vatican chief of staff who was a leading papal contender himself. At 76, Becciu is under the age limit of 80 and technically eligible to vote, but the Vatican’s official statistics list him as a “non-elector.” The Vatican document regulating a conclave, known by its Latin name Universi Dominici Gregis, lays out the criteria for electors, making clear that cardinals under 80 have the right to elect the pope, except those who have been “canonically deposed or who with the consent of the Roman Pontiff have renounced the cardinalate.” It adds that after a pope has died, “the College of Cardinals cannot readmit or rehabilitate them.” There has never been any clarity on what exactly Becciu renounced or how: The one-line statement issued by the Vatican press office on Sept. 24, 2020, said merely that Francis had accepted Becciu’s resignation as prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints “and his rights connected to the cardinalate.” There is no indication he has been sanctioned canonically.

Los Angeles mayor slashes fire department DEI bureau in proposed budget months after woke backlash

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass appeared to be backing away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the city’s fire department after facing massive backlash over the poor response to the deadly wildfires earlier this year. Bass also requested in the proposal that the LAFD Fire Chief take the "necessary steps" to begin consolidating the Bureau of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion into the Professional Standards Division, which is expected to remove five "equity and inclusion" positions. The proposal to consolidate the Equity Bureau also comes a few months after the city was attacked for spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on various DEI programs despite cutting the LAFD budget by approximately $17.6 million dollars.

Alarmed by CBS disaster, Bill Belichick insiders say girlfriend Jordon Hudson is a ‘runaway train’

Alarmed by CBS disaster, Bill Belichick insiders say girlfriend Jordon Hudson is a ‘runaway train’ Even before this past weekend’s embarrassing CBS interview — in which Jordon Hudson made it clear who wears the pants in her romance with Bill Belichick — the legendary football coach’s friends were “shaking their heads,” one insider told The Post. The consensus among people around Belichick, another source said, is that this relationship is “alarming” and Hudson “is a runaway train.” She has been heavily criticized and mocked after interfering in the former Patriots coach’s interview with “CBS Sunday Morning” about his new book, “The Art of Winning” — shutting down the conversation when correspondent Tony Dokoupil asked how the couple met. It was a surprise that CBS chose to keep such an awkward behind-the-scenes moment in the final interview, but, as Dokoupil said in a voiceover: “Jordon was a constant presence during our interview.” In fact, NBC Sports’ ProFootballTalk reported, “While we don’t know the total number of interruptions, it’s our understanding that CBS decided to include that one specific instance because it wasn’t a one-time thing.” Hudson has also made her presence known at the University of North Carolina, where she recently attended spring practice as Belichick prepares for his first season coaching college ball.

Colon cancer patients are 24 times more likely to die within 5 years if they had this habit before their diagnosis Here’s the bottom line — nearly 53,000 Americans are projected to die from colorectal cancer this year. “This study adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting that heavy cannabis use may have underrecognized impacts on the immune system, mental health and treatment behaviors,” said lead study author Raphael Cuomo, an associate professor at the UC San Diego School of Medicine. “We hope these findings encourage more research — and more nuanced conversations — about how cannabis interacts with cancer biology and care.” Some studies suggest that cannabis may help cancer patients manage their symptoms and potentially even reduce tumor growth.

How to build Intrinsic Motivation: a review of the science

Salient rewards harm intrinsic motivation, but non-salient ones don’t (or, at least, not as much) Token rewards harm intrinsic motivation, but rewards that relate closely to the task at hand don’t How do we reconcile these findings? Rewards and reward contingencies that preserve or enhance an individual’s sense of autonomy have a positive impact on intrinsic motivation; those that diminish an individual’s sense of autonomy and that are experienced as an attempt to control their behaviour have a negative impact on intrinsic motivation. This is generally how SDT understands most rewards and rewards contingencies: rewards that signal competence are conducive to intrinsic motivation, but unfortunately, many rewards also inadvertently impair autonomy – which is why they so often seem to harm intrinsic motivation.

Irish Rappers Kneecap Deny Support for Hamas, Hezbollah as ‘F**k Israel Free Palestine’ Backlash Grows

(AFP) – Irish rappers Kneecap have denied supporting Hamas and Hezbollah and apologised to the families of murdered British politicians as a fierce row rages over political messaging at the band’s concerts. The denial, issued late Monday on social media, came after UK police said it was examining footage from a Kneecap concert last year that appeared to show a band member shouting “up Hamas, up Hezbollah”. Free Palestine” and “Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people.” The 72-year-old Osborne, a former judge on the X Factor talent show, blasted Kneecap’s “aggressive political statements” and alleged that Kneecap turned Coachella “into a Hamas fan club”.

GOP Sen. Moody: We Have to Factor Blue State Support of Illegals into SALT Talks

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “The Bottom Line,” Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) stated that the fact that blue states are “demanding more and more and more federal funding” due to policies that incentivize illegal immigrants to come to their states but want “want more and more and more tax breaks” will factor into discussions over the SALT deduction in the tax bill. In some of these blue states — and I think that’s what you’re seeing in these executive orders that are coming out from President Trump today — they’re saying look, blue states, you can no longer be reckless, you can’t say you’re going to have these policies that invite overwhelmingly illegal immigrants to surge into our states and rack up the costs on our taxpayers and then expect the cavalry to come in from the federal government and save you with funding. And so, I think the same kind of discussions are going to be had here in Congress in trying to approach that subject sensitively, knowing that many of these blue states are demanding more and more and more federal funding because of policies, and yet, they want more and more and more tax breaks.

China is exhibiting ‘end-of-regime conduct,’ expert warns of ‘perplexing’ behavior Something is “very, very wrong” in Beijing right now, according to foreign policy expert Gordon Chang, who is signaling more “end-of-regime conduct” coming out of Xi Jinping’s China. Let’s see if we can make a deal.” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Friday that Beijing backs international rules when it comes to tariffs imposed by Trump and that the US levies show “extreme egoism.” He explained that China would look for solidarity with other countries regarding the tariffs, noting that Beijing would uphold multilateralism to “inject stability into the world.” Beijing has publicly denied any ongoing negotiations with the Trump administration to bring down America’s 145% tariff and China’s 125% tariff. “And he certainly can’t look like he’s talking to the US under pressure.” “This is really very perplexing behavior, and it shows that something is very, very wrong in Beijing right now.” A recent report from Reuters claimed China’s Ministry of Commerce taskforce is collecting lists of items that could be exempted from tariffs, from electronic goods to essentials, and is asking companies to submit their own requests.

First-Quarter GDP Preview: What to Expect for Economic Growth

“This week’s data docket is likely to paint the picture of slowing growth ahead of the Trump Administration’s tariff shock and declining consumer and business sentiment in the wake of the announcements,” Deutsche Bank economists said in an April 25 note. “That would allow the economy to dodge a recession in 2025, although growth is still forecast to slow from 2024’s pace.” Caution Ahead at the Fed Investors overwhelmingly expect the Fed to leave interest rates unchanged in a range of 4.25 percent and 4.5 percent at next month’s policy meeting. “I would expect more rate cuts, and sooner, once I started seeing some serious deterioration in the labor market.” Appearing at an event hosted by the Economic Club of Chicago earlier this month, Fed Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that monetary policymakers can be patient as they “wait for greater clarity.” In prepared remarks, Powell stated that the administration’s fiscal, immigration, regulatory, and trade policy could present a “challenging scenario” for the Federal Reserve should inflation and unemployment rise simultaneously.

MORNING GLORY: President Trump won’t ink a bad deal with Iran

The JCPOA was, according to Trump and many others, the "worst deal in history," as it was simply a series of speed bumps on Iran’s road to nuclear weapons and was also completely silent on Iran’s ballistic missile program and its export of terrorism and arming of its proxies. Only Trump in his first term took a hard line with Tehran and kept to it, withdrawing from the JCPOA, instituting the "maximum pressure campaign" that brought Iran to its fiscal knees, and by ordering the January 3, 2020 drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, Iran’s most feared warrior and strategist near Baghdad International Airport in Iraq. So to the people who worry about the "even days" when Trump talks up a deal: Remember the Iranians have been trying to assassinate Trump and other senior American officials from Trump’s first term since the hit on Soleimani five years ago.

My daughter was murdered by an illegal immigrant. Sen. Van Hollen's El Salvador visit was a slap in the face

ANGEL MOM OF RACHEL MORIN CONDEMNS DEMS' TRIP TO SEE DEPORTED MIGRANT, MAINSTREAM MEDIA BIAS This month, Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen took it upon himself to use taxpayer dollars to charter a plane to El Salvador and advocate that a MS-13 gang member in prison be brought back to the U.S. Rather than working for Americans and the victims of migrant crime, Van Hollen spends his time actively making American lives worse and championing dangerous criminals from another country. After speaking with President Donald Trump and sharing an emotional moment with him after my remarks, I know that he cares and I am confident that he has secured the southern border and has a plan to completely reverse the damage done by the past administration by also addressing crime at the northern border.

Angry mob targets wrong house after accused serial cat killer released from jail as vigil turns violent

Angry mob targets wrong house after accused serial cat killer released from jail as vigil turns violent A vigil to honor felines slain by an accused serial cat killer in Santa Ana, California, took a violent turn when attendees decided they would track the suspect down themselves … but got the wrong house. While we support the community’s right to peacefully assemble, the Santa Ana Police Department will not tolerate acts of violence, vandalism, or any threats to public safety,” the police department released in a statement on X. In response to Acosta bonding out of jail, police said “the right to bail is protected under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution,” and that individuals who are arrested in California “may post bail based on predetermined bail schedules established under the California Penal Code for certain offenses.” “These schedules provide standardized bail amounts depending on the nature of the alleged crime,” police said in a statement shared on X.

Gov. Hochul, New York lawmakers agree on criminal charge for wearing mask while committing crime

Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, announced a $254 billion budget deal on Monday that includes an agreement with state lawmakers to add an extra charge for people who wear masks while committing crimes. Hochul had wanted to create an extra penalty if someone was covering their face while threatening or harassing a group of people, a proposal that was softened ahead of the agreed bill being added to the state budget this week following concerns from Democrat lawmakers and civil liberty advocates. The annual budget, which will not take effect until lawmakers resolve several spending decisions, would also allow hospitals to involuntarily commit mentally ill New Yorkers if patients cannot meet their basic needs, which lowers the previous standard that only allowed a person to be involuntarily committed when they posed a physical threat to themselves or others.

Dear Abby: My parents hate me for being born a girl

You may be able to get the help you need by contacting your county health department and asking about low-cost counseling services, or by reaching out to the nearest college or university that has a department of psychology and asking if any of their graduate students could see you (under supervision). — CAREFUL GRANDPA IN OHIO DEAR GRANDPA: By now it should be clear to you that your son and his girlfriend have no intention of keeping their house clean, even for the baby’s sake. As I see it, you have three choices: Turn a blind eye to what is happening and do nothing, hire a cleaning crew once or twice a month to do what they are unwilling to do, or contact child protective services because the home is a danger to your grandchild.
