Hall Versus Oates: What Went Wrong?
No one thought much of it when Daryl Hall and John Oates set out on separate tours this year. They'd done it before only to reunite for arena shows. So maybe some but not others were surprised by the news that the pair is embroiled in a legal battle, one that led Hall to obtain a temporary restraining order against his now-former music partner. A judge has sealed a lawsuit that Hall filed last week in Nashville, where Oates lives, according to multiple news outlets. So little is known about the dispute -- other than maybe that it's gone too far (but you know it don't matter anyway). Penn…

‘Stop The Bloodshed’: Louisville Shooting Could’ve Been Prevented By Red Flag Law, Hochul Says
Recent mass shootings that killed six people at an elementary school in Tennessee and five more at a bank in Kentucky might not have occurred had those states implemented so-called “red flag” laws like New York, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul. In an op-ed written for USA Today Network and shared on the governor's website, Hochul touted the measures, which allow a court to issue an extreme risk protection order (ERPO) that temporarily prohibits someone from buying or possessing a gun should they be deemed a danger to themselves or others.
