Ed Mullins, the former president of a New York City police union known for his combative style and insulting tweets, pleaded guilty to stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the union

During his plea, Mullins confessed that he stole money by falsely inflating expense reports between late 2017 and October 2021. He did not comment as he left the courthouse. But he briefly paused in the rain so photographers could capture his image.

In court papers, prosecutors said Mullins stole money in part to pay for meals at high-end restaurants and to buy luxury personal items. Sometimes, they said, he charged personal supermarket bills to the union and counted costly meals with friends as business expenses. His lawyer, Thomas Kenniff, said outside court that with the plea, his client “took a big step today towards righting his wrongs.”

Kenniff said he hoped that Mullins would ultimately be judged not by the criminal charge, but rather by good things he did for the city and NYPD during his career. In a release, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said Mullins reneged on his promise to look out for thousands of police sergeants by stealing “hundreds of thousands of dollars from them to fund his lavish lifestyle.”

Supreme Court turns down request from New York firearms dealers to block new gun lawThe order comes days after the Supreme Court allowed New York's new gun restrictions to remain in place. Apparently blue states are so irredeemably violent that no New York citizen can be trusted with their Second Amendment rights. 🤣 No more guns in New York? That’ll be the day. I’ve seen movies. This Supreme Court is best we’ve had in decades. Hard to predict what they will do on almost any issue. Seems they are following the law.
