I have some bad news for those that use Netflix.
Zorhan Mamdani opens his first “free” daycare center, which isn’t all that free.
And the Supreme Court makes a big decision today. That decisions seemed pretty bipartisan.

Here is some news:
- But as digital payment systems increasingly suggest gratuities automatically, a new debate is emerging: Should those tips be calculated before or after tax?
- The question has drawn attention following controversy at a Dave & Buster’s location, where suggested tips were reportedly applied to the post-tax total.
- Two restaurant owners said tips should be calculated on the pre-tax amount — and not the total bill.
- The recent controversy also reignited the greater debate about tipping culture in general.
- Updated pricing listed on the company’s U.S. website shows the ad-supported tier at $8.99 per month, up from $7.99, while the standard plan is priced at $19.99 and the premium tier at $26.99.
- Fees to add members outside a subscriber’s household have also increased, with extra members costing $7.99 per month on ad-supported plans and $9.99 on ad-free tiers. Netflix says accounts are intended for use within a single household, with added charges for users who do not live together.
- A bipartisan panel of House lawmakers voted to kickstart a process that could lead to the expulsion of a congressional Democrat accused of laundering millions of disaster relief funds into her campaign account.
- A House Ethics investigative subcommittee approved a motion for summary judgment, effectively finding Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., guilty of nearly all alleged violations outlined by the committee earlier this year.
- The verdict came after a rare public ethics hearing on Thursday — the first since 2010 — that lasted more than six hours as lawmakers from both parties grilled Cherfilus-McCormick’s counsel. The eight-member adjudicatory subcommittee, helmed by Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss., announced its decision in a written statement Friday morning.
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the opening of a new daycare center for municipal workers Monday that will cost more than double the average price of child care — to a tune of nearly $60,000 per kid.
- Mamdani said the Adams administration didn’t allocate operating funds for the center, which Hizzoner said would have a $2.3 million price tag and will be included in the city’s upcoming executive budget.
- That works out to $57,500 per child to attend the day care from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- On average, day care costs in the city for infants come in at $26,000 and $23,400 for toddlers, according to the city comptroller’s office.
- Apollo Global Management, a $900 billion asset manager, is plotting a second US headquarters in the Sunbelt just as Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushes to hike taxes on deep pocketed corporations, according to a report in the Financial Times.
- Steve Fulop, president and CEO of the Partnership for New York City, a business lobby group, framed Apollo’s move as a natural reaction to an increasingly unfriendly business climate in the Big Apple.
- Apollo leaders have already quizzed partners and managing directors on where they’d rather move their families and bonuses — Texas or Florida — sources told FT.
- The Supreme Court made a huge decision today.
- The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Colorado cannot enforce its so-called “conversion therapy” ban regarding conversations between therapists and minors, saying the law likely violates the First Amendment by allowing some viewpoints but not others.
- In an 8–1 decision, the high court said the law favors one viewpoint by allowing therapists to affirm a minor’s gender identity or sexual orientation, but not help them to change it if they want to.
- The decision stemmed from a lawsuit brought by Kaley Chiles, a licensed Christian therapist, who argued her conversations with youth clients were a form of protected speech. The Colorado government had said the conversations amounted to professional conduct that the state was allowed to regulate.
- In the lone dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the majority “plays with fire in this case” and that she feared “the people of this country will get burned.”

Dumbass of the Day
Here is Jim Himes (D – CT)
This Is EVIL!
According to the New York Post:
Gang-rape victim Noelia Castillo’s father had battled for years to stop her from dying by euthanasia — before finally losing out to the power of the courts.
Geronimo Castillo, supported by a group called Christian Lawyers, argued that his 25-year-old daughter’s mental illness impaired her ability to decide to end her own life.
He also accused the Spanish state of “abandoning” his daughter by offering death instead of further psychiatric treatment.
His daughter acknowledged how much her death would pain her friends and family — especially her father — in a final interview before she was euthanized Thursday
“None of my family is in favour of euthanasia. But what about all the pain I’ve suffered during all these years?” she said.
“The happiness of a father, a mother, or a sister cannot be more important than the life of a daughter,” she maintained defiantly.
Noelia launched her euthanasia process in April 2024, almost two years after she was paralyzed when she attempted suicide by jumping off a building — which her dad had witnessed, she said.
“My father saw me fall and couldn’t do anything. But after everything he’s done, I don’t feel sorry for him anymore,” she told Y Ahora Sonsoles in a final interview before her death.
“He hasn’t respected my decision and he never will,” she added.
She told her interviewer that the suicide attempt came days after three men assaulted her at an entertainment center.
Noelia also said she had been assaulted by a previous boyfriend and survived another attempted assault.
Her euthanasia was first approved by a medical board in Catalonia in July 2024 but in August, a day before the scheduled procedure, a Barcelona court accepted her father’s petition to postpone it.
The case moved through multiple courts in Spain throughout 2025 before, in January 2026, the Spanish Supreme Court upheld Noelia’s right to euthanasia, rejecting her father’s appeal.
In February, the Constitutional Court of Spain rejected a further appeal, stating there was “no violation of fundamental rights.”
On Tuesday, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) rejected a final request for interim measures to stop the procedure.
A Barcelona judge denied a last-minute emergency injunction on Thursday, and Noelia received life-ending medication at 6:00 p.m. local time.
Noelia’s suicide attempt left her paraplegic and in a state of constant, “unbearable” physical and psychological pain, and she argued that under Spanish law, she met the criteria of having a “serious and incurable” condition and was mentally capable of deciding to end her life.
Geronimo argued that his daughter’s history of psychiatric conditions—specifically borderline personality disorder and OCD—meant she lacked the “mental capacity” to make a truly free and informed decision.
