Julianne Moore and Melissa Joan Hart joined activists for a march to end gun violence
On the eve of Mother's Day, actresses Julianne Moore and Melissa Joan Hart joined hundreds of other activists in marching across New York City's Brooklyn Bridge to demand an end to gun violence in the country. "I fervently believe this is not a partisan issue. This is not an anti-gun or pro-gun argument. This is not a Second Amendment issue, and does not deserve to be hotly debated as such. It is a safety issue," Moore told the crowd gathered in Manhattan Saturday afternoon. The New York chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, which advocates for reforms to reduce gun violence, organized the annual event, now in its fourth year, to spread the organization's message that the country needs stronger gun laws. Hundreds of supporters—parents, children, celebrities and survivors of gun violence—marched from the base of the bridge in Brooklyn into Manhattan, chanting, "What do we want? Gun sense! When do we want it? Now!" They carried photos of gun-violence victims and … [Read more...] about Julianne Moore and Melissa Joan Hart joined activists for a march to end gun violence
Judge dismisses Trump’s lawsuit, allowing NY probe to go on
NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge on Friday dismissed Donald Trump’s lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James, allowing her civil investigation into his business practices to continue. In a 43-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Brenda Sannes said she based her decision on case law that, in most cases, bars federal judges from interfering in state-level investigations. Sannes’ ruling came a day after a New York appeals court ruled that Trump must answer questions under oath in James’ probe, upholding a lower-court ruling requiring him to sit for a deposition. “In a big victory, a federal court has dismissed Donald Trump’s baseless lawsuit to stop my office’s investigation into his and the Trump Organization’s financial dealings,” James said in a tweet. “Frivolous lawsuits won’t stop us from completing our lawful, legitimate investigation.” A message seeking comment was left with Trump's lawyers. Trump sued James in December, just after she issued a subpoena for his … [Read more...] about Judge dismisses Trump’s lawsuit, allowing NY probe to go on

Anti-gun protesters stage “die-in” outside of Trump Tower
A group of protesters gathered peacefully Wednesday in front of one of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump's New York City skyscrapers to protest his comment from January that he "could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody" without losing support from voters. About 40 people from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and other gun-control advocates gathered outside of the candidate's headquarters for the so called die-in demonstration. On the stretch in front of the building, they briefly laid down and covered themselves in white sheets to represent the 90 Americas who are killed by gun violence each day. Then they stood up and repeatedly chanted, "Ninety a day, no more, no way!" Some held signs that read, "Hey Trump, gun violence is not a joke," "Not one more [gun death]" and "Love Trumps hate." The entire event lasted just 10 minutes, but the participants said they hope Trump hears their message.

Donald Trump Announces 2016 Presidential Bid
Updated | Real estate mogul Donald Trump announced his intent to run for president in the 2016 election on Tuesday morning at a self-named skyscraper in New York City. The 69-year-old reality TV star has flirted with a presidential bid on multiple occasions in the past several decades, before ultimately changing his mind. This election cycle looks different, though.

The businessman and Celebrity Apprentice host has visited early voting states, including Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. He has been a member of both the Democratic and Republican parties, as well as declared himself an independent. But he endorsed former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney for president in the 2012 election against … [Read more...] about Donald Trump Announces 2016 Presidential Bid
