Corey Webster just got 35 years for killing Traci Boston — a plea deal spared a trial — but her family says it’s far too little for the brutal crime. They remember Traci as endlessly kind, always connecting with others, a stark contrast to how the ordeal has made them colder and more guarded. The legal battle left them physically broken, with one member hospitalized from stress. Though they’re devastated by the sentence, they’re grateful to finally have Traci’s remains home. Now, they’re focused on honoring her memory and staying engaged in the long road ahead as parole hearings loom.

The Justice Department is siding with Elon Musk’s xAI, moving to dismiss a major civil rights lawsuit over a $20 billion AI data center in Mississippi that’s allegedly running unpermitted natural gas turbines — a move critics say shields Musk from accountability and undermines environmental protections, especially as the Trump administration pushes AI development and rolls back regulations.

Boyd Goodloe, Lubbock native and Texas Tech alum, is running for District Four City Council, promising to freeze property taxes while prioritizing infrastructure fixes. He’s calling for a pause on new AI data centers until 2027 and opposes tax breaks for them, arguing for more community time to assess impacts. With Brayden Rose’s resignation creating this special election, Goodloe positions himself as a hands-on, community-savvy candidate who’s already attending council meetings and listening to residents’ top concerns — especially road repairs.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, a longtime prosecutor and moderate Republican, is calling for the end of the death penalty in his state—despite his decades of involvement in crafting and expanding capital punishment laws. With Ohio’s last execution dating back to 2018, DeWine argues for abolition citing concerns over wrongful executions, soaring legal costs, and moral convictions about the sanctity of life. His stance puts him at odds with younger, Trump-aligned Republicans in his party, yet he’s not alone—several GOP officials share his view. DeWine hasn’t yet consulted his Republican gubernatorial opponent, underscoring growing ideological divides within the party on this critical issue.

ICE just loosened detention rules, letting contractors use AI to communicate with detainees — while still paying them just $1 a day for work. Claiming it eases pressure on facilities, critics warn it risks worsening conditions and slashing accountability. Detention advocates say it’s a retreat from basic rights, as facilities face mounting accusations over medical care, food, and deaths — all amid record funding. While some tout AI’s potential to improve mental health and suicide prevention, the bigger picture points to a system prioritizing contractor profits and operational ease over detainee safety.
