Mississippi ex-police officer pleads guilty after making man lick urine off jail floor
SUMMARY: Former police officer Michael Christian Green pleaded guilty to a federal misdemeanor charge for forcing a man to lick urine off the floor of a jail cell. The incident occurred in Pearl, Mississippi, where Green lost his job as a patrol officer after security footage showed the encounter. Green, who is white, ordered the Latino man he arrested to lick his own urine and filmed the disturbing act. Mayor Jake Windham condemned Green’s brutality, stating that such behavior violates civil rights. Green faces up to one year in prison and a $10,000 fine, with sentencing scheduled for May.

IRS is sending out automatic stimulus payments. Who is getting them?
SUMMARY: The IRS is distributing approximately $2.4 billion to about 1 million taxpayers who overlooked claiming the Recovery Rebate Credit on their 2021 tax returns, which could provide up to $1,400 per individual. This initiative was announced after the IRS identified eligible taxpayers who filed their returns but didn’t claim the credit. Payments will be made automatically by late January without requiring amended returns. Taxpayers who haven’t filed for 2021 can still claim the credit by the April 15, 2025 deadline. The program aims to assist those who missed out on previous Economic Impact Payments during the pandemic.
