SUMMARY: The City of Austin is seeking a new city manager for 2023 after terminating the previous manager almost a year ago. Mayor Kirk Watson and the council are taking the process seriously and have hired a national search team to lead the recruitment. The application period runs from January 8th to February 12th, and the council anticipates making a final decision in early to mid-April. They are seeking a candidate with experience in city management, knowledge of public finance, and readiness to take action in Austin's future as a city. Interim city manager Jesus Garza will not be considered for the position. The mayor wants someone who has experience working with a council and understands the community's dynamics.

Next month will mark one year since Austin decided to fire the former city manager following his handling of the 2023 ice storm which left over 200,000 residents without power for days. It's believed the city should have a new, permanent city manager by the end of this year.

SUMMARY: President Biden condemned a US Supreme Court ruling that grants former presidents, including Trump, broad immunity for official acts while in office. This decision could significantly impact federal prosecutors in Trump's election interference case by requiring them to differentiate between official and unofficial conduct. The Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling suggests that presidents have almost unrestricted power for official acts, with Biden warning that it sets a dangerous precedent. Trump hailed the decision as a victory for democracy. The ruling may also affect Trump's other criminal cases, such as those concerning classified documents and election subversion. Trump's attorneys plan to challenge his hush money conviction based on this new immunity ruling.

President Joe Biden condemned the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that granted former President Donald Trump and other presidents certain immunity for official acts while in office. Meanwhile, Trump called the decision a “big win for our constitution and democracy.”

SUMMARY: The family of Anthony Johnson Jr., who died at Taran County Jail, plans to speak after two jailers faced charges related to his death. Jailers Raphael Moreno and Joel Garcia are out on bond after turning themselves in on murder warrants. Footage shows Moreno with his knee on Johnson's back during a contraband check, violating policies and resulting in Johnson's death by asphyxiation. Garcia recorded the incident, delaying medical help. Johnson, a veteran with mental illness, was jailed for erratic behavior. Garcia's attorneys believe a jury will find him innocent. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide with methamphetamine as a contributing factor.

The family of an inmate who died at the Tarrant County jail earlier this year plans to speak out for the first time since two jailers were charged in connection to his death. Those two jailers are now out on bond.
