Galveston Police Department Officer Jared Rivas on leave after video shows him punching teen, officials say
SUMMARY: In Galveston, Texas, a video captured by Heidi Williams shows off-duty police officer Jared Rivas hitting multiple people, including minors, during a child's birthday party. The confrontation began when Rivas, mistaken for an official security guard, demanded party attendees leave a pool area. As they complied, Rivas allegedly struck a mother and then a 13-year-old boy, who retaliated, prompting further violence. Rivas also reportedly hit Williams' 14-year-old daughter. Galveston police have placed Rivas on administrative leave and initiated an internal investigation. Williams intends to press charges, and her children remain traumatized from the incident.

SUMMARY: Cases of mycoplasma pneumonia, a bacterial infection with cold-like symptoms, have increased by about 20% compared to last summer. Mycoplasma pneumonia primarily affects children over five but is now seen across all age groups. Health officials attribute the rise in cases to children spreading the infection through close contact at summer camps or swimming pools. The photo courtesy of WFAA, showcases a children's hospital.

Sotomayor’s dissent: Supreme Court’s liberal justices warn of law-free zone stemming from Trump immunity ruling
SUMMARY: In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court decided 6-3 that former presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts while in office, but not for unofficial acts. Justice Sonia Sotomayor's dissent expressed deep concern, arguing it creates near-absolute presidential immunity, potentially leading to abuses of power. The ruling influences the delay in Donald Trump's 2020 election subversion case as courts discern which actions are protected. Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined Sotomayor, stressing the long-term impact on constitutional democracy. Chief Justice John Roberts defended the decision, emphasizing the necessity of presidential powers while cautioning against routine prosecutions of ex-presidents.
