Former NBA player and coach Damon Jones walked out of a New York courtroom on a $200K bond, accused of feeding insider NBA intel into mob-run gambling schemes.

Prosecutors allege Jones used player injury info to tip off bets in a ring tied to the Gambino and Bonanno crime families, and that a possible plea deal may be on the horizon.

Jones, who spent 11 years in the league and later coached alongside LeBron James, faces wire-fraud and racketeering charges that could carry decades behind bars.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is firing back.

After a TMZ report alleged the hip-hop mogul was caught drinking homemade alcohol, known behind bars as “prison wine,” at Fort Dix, his family’s spokesperson is calling the story “exaggerated.”

“Mr. Combs is in his first week at FCI Fort Dix and is focused on adjusting, working on himself, and doing better each day,” the statement said, urging the public to give him privacy to focus on his rehabilitation.

Combs began serving his four-year sentence last month after being transferred to the New Jersey federal facility.

Authorities say Brown allegedly seized a handgun during an altercation and fired two shots, one of which reportedly grazed the victim’s neck.

If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison.

Alex Padilla is staying put.

The California senator, long rumored to be a top contender in the 2026 governor’s race, has announced he won’t be running to succeed Gavin Newsom — choosing instead to continue his work in the U.S. Senate.

“I choose to stay in this fight,” Padilla said, reaffirming his commitment to the Constitution, core American values, and the work still left to do in Washington.

With Padilla out, the 2026 race for governor is shaping up to be one of the most competitive and unpredictable contests in recent memory.

The Dodgers’ World Series win is bringing more than just celebration—now, immigrant rights groups are calling on the team to take a stand. The National Day Laborer Organizing Network is urging the Dodgers to skip their traditional White House visit, saying the team should stand with Los Angeles’ immigrant community instead.

Over 4,000 fans have already signed a petition asking the team to decline the trip. Advocates say it’s a moment for the Dodgers to show who they play for: a city built by immigrants and working families.

The 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games will end where it all began, at the historic LA Memorial Coliseum. 🏟️✨

The unanimous City Council vote celebrates both L.A.’s Olympic legacy and a simpler, more cost-effective plan for 2028.

A century-old arena built for the Games will once again shine on the world stage. 💫

California Republicans are going to court to stop the new congressional map approved by voters under Proposition 50, a measure that could shift as many as five House seats to Democrats.
⁠
The lawsuit, filed by the Dhillon Law Group, claims that Prop 50’s mapmakers improperly used race to favor Latino voters. State Democrats argue the map simply expands Voting Rights Act districts to empower historically underrepresented communities.
⁠
It’s a clash with major national implications, one that could make its way to the Supreme Court.
