 Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are ending their marriage, after Kandi filed for divorce. They have been married for 11 years. Following the divorce announcement, Todd Tucker now has 30 days to move out of Kandi Burruss’s home a strategic move on Kandi’s part since she never put his name on the property.  Over the years, Todd not only lived in her world, he worked under her within her production ventures, which many fans felt created a power imbalance from the start.

Randolph, 63, who was convicted of the 1988 rape and murder of a convenience store clerk, marking the state’s 17th execution this year—a record for Florida—and the seventh execution of a military veteran in 2025. Randolph was put to death via a three-drug lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Starke and was pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m. EST. Randolph had been sentenced to death in 1989 by an 8-4 jury verdict for the killing of 62-year-old Minnie Ruth McCollum in Palatka. The Florida Supreme Court rejected his final appeal without explanation. His attorneys had argued that Randolph, who was orphaned and abused by his adoptive parents, received inadequate legal representation at trial and that his chronic autoimmune disease, lupus, could cause extreme pain during execution. Court filings included a doctor’s report warning that the lethal injection wou...

 Dominican Republic removes criminal penalties for homosexuality in armed forces The Dominican Republic’s Constitutional Court has struck down laws that criminalized same-sex relationships within the National Police and Armed Forces. The ruling invalidates two articles in the justice codes of both institutions that previously imposed prison sentences on service members engaged in same-sex relationships—up to one year for officers and six months for enlisted personnel—under the justification of “maintaining discipline and institutional morality.” These provisions had been in place since the mid-20th century. The court determined that the laws violated fundamental rights, including privacy, equality before the law, and the free development of one’s personality. The decision came in response to a constitutional challenge filed by attorneys Anderson Dirocie de León and Patricia Santana, who argued that the disciplinary codes conflicted with rights recognized in the Dominican Constituti...

 Pope Leo revises law to let women and non-cardinals lead Vatican City  Pope Leo XIV has revised Vatican law to allow women and non-cardinals to lead the administration of Vatican City, following Pope Francis’ groundbreaking appointment of a woman to the role in November. Francis appointed Italian Sister Raffaella Petrini, 52, as secretary-general of the Vatican governorate, making her the highest-ranking woman in the Vatican. However, her appointment faced legal complications under a 2023 law that restricted the position to cardinals. On Friday, Leo issued a motu proprio, a formal Vatican decree, updating the law to resolve the issue. In her role, Petrini manages administrative functions including the Vatican museums, post office, budget oversight, health care, and police operations. Previously, she was excluded from presenting the city-state’s economic report to cardinals ahead of the May conclave because only cardinals were allowed in those meetings. The law change corrects...

 Argentina moves to seize former president’s assets to recover $500M BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA - A federal court in Argentina has ordered the seizure of 20 properties belonging to former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and her children, Máximo and Florencia, in an effort to recover roughly $500 million allegedly lost to the state through corrupt practices. Authorities say the assets—including houses, land, and hotels—were acquired through corruption tied to public-works contracts awarded during the administrations of Fernández de Kirchner and her late husband, Néstor Kirchner. The ruling also covers properties linked to businessman Lázaro Báez, an ally of the family. The seizure is part of the “Vialidad” case, which investigates at least 51 contracts in Santa Cruz, the Kirchners’ home province, many of which prosecutors say were inflated, rushed through, or left incomplete. Fernández de Kirchner was sentenced in 2022 to six years in prison and barred from holding public offi...

Clintons called to testify in Jeffrey Epstein investigation House Republicans have issued subpoenas for former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee regarding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Bill Clinton is scheduled to appear Dec. 17, with Hillary Clinton to follow a day later, according to the committee. Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said the hearings aim to provide transparency and accountability for Epstein’s victims and the American public. Comer initially requested the Clintons’ testimonies in August, but their attorney proposed submitting a written statement instead. Comer said the Clintons possess relevant information due to their personal relationships with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Legal experts have speculated the Clintons could invoke executive privilege, though their personal connections would likely fall outside that protection. Meanwhile, Maxwell has invoked her Fi...

 Coast Guard reverses stance on swastikas and nooses after labeling them 'potentially divisive' The U.S. Coast Guard clarified Thursday that swastikas and nooses are officially considered “hate symbols,” reversing confusion over guidance that had reportedly described them as “potentially divisive.” In a statement, the agency emphasized that the policy “doubles down on its current policies prohibiting the display, distribution, or use of hate symbols by Coast Guard personnel.” The move reinforces longstanding rules banning such symbols from all Coast Guard workplaces, facilities, and assets. The guidance lists nooses, swastikas, and any symbols adopted by hate groups representing racial, religious, or other intolerance as prohibited, with Confederate battle flags also remaining banned. The agency stressed that this is not a policy update, but a reaffirmation to counter misinformation. The clarification follows reports earlier Thursday suggesting the Coast Guard had softened its ...
