The detention of Gaza’s most visible physician has alarmed UN experts, human rights groups, and the global medical community — with no charges made public. A doctor in plain sight The image was hard to ignore. In December 2024, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya walked toward Israeli tanks in his white medical coat, arms open. He was not carrying a weapon. He was trying to keep his hospital running. Weeks later, he was gone. Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza and lead physician for MedGlobal, a Chicago-based nonprofit, was taken into Israeli military custody. His family…

The corruption case surrounding Bob Menendez has moved into a revealing phase, with prosecutors laying out a timeline built on digital records and financial strain. Text messages, emails, and phone logs have been introduced to paint a portrait of vulnerability that, according to the government, set the stage for a series of questionable exchanges. At the center of the case is the senator’s wife, Nadine Menendez, whose financial difficulties before her marriage have become a key point of focus. Prosecutors argue that these pressures were not incidental. They suggest the situation created conditions that allowed outside actors to step in…

The series arrives March 25 with K’un-Lun hovering over New York, enemy soldiers wielding Iron Fist’s own power, and reinforcements arriving from Asgard and Attilan. Marvel does not appear interested in building slowly toward the conflict at the center of Deadly Hands of K’un-Lun. The second issue, arriving in comic shops Wednesday, March 25, accelerates the story into territory that reframes what kind of war Iron Fist is actually fighting and whether his most defining ability is now working against him. The premise heading into this issue is already extreme. K’un-Lun is no longer a distant mystical city. It is…

Atlanta Falcons defensive end James Pearce Jr. will no longer face a charge of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer stemming from an alleged domestic dispute with WNBA player Rickea Jackson. Prosecutors made the decision to drop that specific count after concluding that the available evidence was not strong enough to meet the burden of proof required for a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt. A spokesperson for the district attorney’s office confirmed the reasoning behind the decision. For Pearce, 22, the dropped charge carries real significance on paper. A conviction on aggravated battery against a law enforcement officer in…

Glen Davis walked out of federal prison Thursday, closing a chapter that began with his sentencing in May 2024 on fraud charges tied to the NBA’s health care benefits program. The former Boston Celtics forward, widely known by his nickname Big Baby, announced his release on X with a video that wasted no time setting a tone. He made clear he felt targeted and made equally clear that he considered himself back. Davis had been sentenced to 40 months in federal prison after prosecutors established that he participated in a scheme involving fraudulent medical and dental claims submitted to the…

Emeka Egbuka broke his silence Friday afternoon, and his message was short and unambiguous. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver posted a statement to his Instagram account confirming that an X profile bearing his name was not affiliated with him in any way. He said he stopped using Twitter during his high school years and has not maintained an account on the platform since. The post he was distancing himself from had already spread widely across social media before the account was taken down. The statement aligned with what the Buccaneers organization had already told the public earlier in the…

Oakland police have released a collection of materials from the night former NFL running back Doug Martin died in custody, including 911 calls, officer body camera footage, and surveillance video from the surrounding neighborhood. The release offers the most detailed public account yet of what unfolded on October 18, the night Martin entered a stranger’s home and later stopped breathing while officers waited for paramedics to arrive. The footage is difficult to watch and raises serious questions about what happened in those final minutes. Multiple agencies are now investigating, and the recordings will almost certainly become central evidence as that…

Heavyweight fighter Jairzinho Rozenstruik can move forward after prosecutors declined to pursue a domestic violence case tied to his January arrest in South Florida. Court records show the state formally dropped the case earlier this month. Officials determined there was not enough cooperation from the alleged victim to build a credible prosecution. Without a sworn statement from the woman involved, authorities concluded the likelihood of securing a conviction was minimal. Rozenstruik, who has competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and holds a championship title in Dirty Boxing, was taken into custody in January after police responded to a dispute involving…
