The City Council moved Wednesday to join a lawsuit that seeks to force Mayor Eric Adams to implement a new set of laws designed to make it easier for low-income New Yorkers to access the city’s rental assistance program. The Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit was first filed last week by four New Yorkers at risk of homelessness who’d become eligible for vouchers via the program, CityFHEPS, if the mayor allowed the laws to take effect. The laws would expand access to the program, which subsidizes rent on open market apartments, by increasing the income eligibility cap and eliminating a rule that r...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A Kent County judge allowed Tuesday a lawsuit that asks the court to enforce Kristina Karamo's removal as the Michigan Republican Party chairwoman to proceed, rejecting Karamo's attempts to dismiss it. Judge J. Joseph Rossi's ruling in circuit court was a victory for Karamo's opponents within the state GOP and meant that hearings on whether an injunction against Karamo should be issued, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, can go forward. The Republican National Committee has formally recognized former U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra as the Michigan GOP's chairman, but Karamo ha...

U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle issued a sharply worded order last week saying Jenni Ellis' lawsuit against the Pierce County Sheriff's Department and K-9-handler Deputy Levi Redding should proceed to trial. The judge refused to dismiss Ellis' allegations of illegal seizure, excessive force and negligence, saying a jury should decide questions about the deputy's credibility and actions. A...

The sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Lizzo by several of her former backup dancers is officially heading to trial. Allegations against the “Tempo” singer were made last summer by dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez, who claim Lizzo harassed them during their time on her Special tour and while contestants on “Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrls” in early 2021. While Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Marc H. Epstein ruled this week to toss several of the accusations — including one that Lizzo fat-shamed a dancer — he denied the singer’s motion to dismiss the...
