Weeks before the 2020 presidential election, infamous political operative Roger Stone sat across from his associate Sal Greco at a restaurant in Florida. At the time, Greco was an NYPD cop working security for Stone on the side. Their conversation, at Caffe Europa in Fort Lauderdale, focused on two House Democrats for whom Stone harbors particular animosity, Jerry Nadler and Eric Swalwell. In audio of the conversation obtained exclusively by Mediaite, Stone made threatening comments about the two lawmakers. “It’s time to do it,” Stone told Greco. “Let’s go find Swalwell. It’s time to do it. Then we’ll see how brave the rest of them are. It’s time to do it. It’s either Nadler or Swalwell has to die before the election. They need to get the message. Let’s go find Swalwell and get this over with. I’m just not putting up with this shit anymore.” A source familiar with the discussion told Mediate they believed Stone’s remarks were serious. “It was definitely concerning that he was constantly planning violence with an NYPD officer and other militia groups,” the source said.

The number of relatives that an individual has is expected to decrease by more than 35% in the near future. At the same time, the structure of families will change. The number of cousins, nieces, nephews and grandchildren will decline sharply, while the number of great-grandparents and grandparents will increase significantly. In 1950, a 65-year-old woman had an average of 41 living relatives. By 2095, a woman of the same age will have an average of only 25 living relatives.

“At the end of the day, if you're threatening violence or committing acts of violence to achieve a political end, that's terrorism,” Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes told WIRED... WIRED: I was at the Turning Point USA event this weekend, and Charlie Kirk [the founder of Turning Point USA] said onstage that elections in Arizona had become less secure. I'm wondering what you'd say to that? Fontes: Charlie Kirk doesn't know shit about Arizona's election. So I don't know what he's talking about. Our elections are far more secure than they even were in 2020, which were the most secure elections that we've had. I'd like to hear why he thinks that. Where does he get his information from? What facts does he have to support that statement? Who has he actually spoken to in the election administration world? And why does he think that by increasing our security profile, working more closely with federal, state, and local law enforcement and technology officials, how that all makes our elections less secure? Charlie Kirk is a grifter, who only stirs the pot for his own profit.

At least four people, including a child, died in a suspected arson attack on a passenger train, police said on Saturday, the eve of a general election that the main opposition party is boycotting. In addition to the deaths, eight were injured when fire spread to four compartments of the Dhaka-bound Benapole Express around 9 p.m. (1500 GMT) on Friday. The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), boycotting for the second time in three elections, calls the polls a ploy by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League to legitimise a sham vote that will deliver her party a fourth straight term. Hasina, refusing BNP demands to resign and cede power to a neutral authority to run the election, accuses the opposition party of instigating anti-government protests that have rocked Dhaka since late October and killed at least 10 people in the South Asian country. Last month protesters set a train ablaze, killing four people during a countrywide strike called by the opposition. Senior BNP official Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said Friday's incident on the Benapole Express was "undoubtedly an act of sabotage and cruelty against humanity", blaming the ruling party for it. Awami League party leaders were not immediately available for comment.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump issued a clarion call for justice on behalf of the relatives, friends, and close associates of 215 people buried in the pauper’s cemetery behind the Hinds County jail in Raymond without notification of their relatives and close associates. On Wednesday, December 28, the Hinds County Coroner released the full list of 672 bodies buried in the Pauper’s Field covering the years 2008-2023. Documents obtained by NBC News presented a list of 215 burials between the years 2016-2023 where no notification was given to the decedents’ families. The name, age, race, birth and death dates were included for all 672 listed in the coroner’s records. In many cases, burials were consigned to Pauper’s Field because the families could not pay the costs of burial services. Attorneys Crump and Dennis Sweet of Jackson called for a full review of all 672 cases Wednesday. Gretchen Hankins of Florence reported that her son, Jonathan, 39, left her house on May 20, 2022, after one of his routine visits there.
