NEW: The FBI was able to forensically extract copies of incoming Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone, even after the app was deleted, because copies of the content were saved in the device’s push notification database, multiple people present for FBI testimony in a trial told 404 Media.

This is a sign of financial stress: Johns Hopkins University's business school is offering 50% off its MBA program for new Maryland college graduates as it tries to fill seats that were likely filled by international students in the past.

oh good Lord Kentucky House impeached a judge, saying she abused her authority & was biased in favor of Black defendants their evidence? the judge's statement acknowledging the state's pattern of charging white defendants with lesser offenses and giving them better offers than defendants of color
