The Brooklyn woman accused of causing the devastating car crash that killed a mother and her two daughters is now threatening legal action against the NYPD over a prior mental health-related arrest — and has taken to social media to share footage of the incident.
“Tell me why you want to take me out when I said I’m OK and you barged in,” 35-year-old Miriam Yarimi is heard shouting at officers in an October video she posted to Instagram.
“I am not moving from my bed. If you guys have a problem with me exposing the truth, you can take it up with God.”

Elected officials are ramping up pressure on Albany to pass the “Stop Super Speeders” bill, which would install “speed limiter” technology on vehicles of drivers with repeated speeding violations. The legislation has lingered in the state capital for years without enough support to become law, even as traffic deaths continue to outpace gun deaths in New York City for the second straight year, according to recent data.

If the Iranian regime does not want to a deal, the President has other options — and those alternatives will be very bad for Iran.”

Russia is weighing American cease-fire suggestions for Ukraine with gravity, though it is not ready to agree to the terms currently on the table, a top Russian official stated on Tuesday — signaling that negotiations toward peace remain at a standstill.
“We take the models and solutions proposed by the Americans very seriously, but we can’t accept it all in its current form,” said Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, as reported by Russian state outlets.
“As far as we can see, there is no place in them today for our main demand, namely to solve the problems related to the root causes of this conflict. It is completely absent, and that must be overcome,” Ryabkov continued.

On April 1st, Knesset member Simcha Rothman posted what he called a satirical legislative proposal, suggesting an official day to mourn the demise of Israeli democracy—an apparent April Fools’ Day prank.

Only one person in U.S. history has defied the two-term example set by the first president, George Washington. And voters responded by forbidding future presidents from being elected more than twice. President Donald Trump has alluded to arcane legal arguments in repeatedly suggesting he could seek a third term. Besides challenging long-settled readings of the U.S. Constitution, a Trump move to run in 2028 would challenge the precedent that voters have repeatedly upheld when given the opportunity.
