Read Eric's 2025 investigation into the secretive, abuse-ridden NYPD unit that Daughtry led here:
www.propublica.org/article/eric...
Last year, I reported on a problematic NYPD unit led by a particularly problematic commander.

The commander once pointed a gun at a motorcyclist and threatened to kill him.

Well, that commander, Kaz Daughtry, has a new job.

He now works for Trump's DHS.

Sam Darnold going to a Super Bowl after playing with his fifth team in eight seasons says everything about the inexact science of picking a quarterback in the NFL. Also, everybody sucks with the Jets.

Women who enter pregnancy with chronic conditions are at an elevated risk of long-term complications and, in some cases, death.

For those who live in states that have banned abortion, their options are now severely limited.
