Jada Page Foundation spreads holiday cheer through a toy giveaway at Golden Glades Elementary in Miami Gardens

On Aug. 28, 2016, 8-year-old Jada Page was shot and killed outside her grandmother’s house. More than seven years later, the search for the shooter continues and so does the grief.“It feels like yesterday for me…and that’s why I’m like ‘you have to get up, you got to keep pushing’, said Rosalind Brown, Page’s mother. For Brown, she continues pushing to keep her daughter’s memory alive.She showed us a video from Jada’s last Christmas as she opened presents with her little sister in 2015. Santa brought her blue headphones that year. “What did you get?” the mother asked Jada in the video.“Blue is my favorite color,” said Page, as she was all smiles on her new hoverboard. Brown wants more children to experience that kind of magic this holiday season. “I’m doing it in honor of Jada because I can’t give Jada any toys anymore,” Brown said. “So you know what I can’t give i...

Lawsuit says Georgia’s lieutenant governor should be disqualified for acting as Trump elector

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:06:34 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia judge heard arguments but didn’t rule Monday on a long-shot attempt to disqualify Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones from holding office because of Jones’ participation as an elector for Donald Trump in 2020.The lawsuit comes as a decision remains in limbo on whether to prosecute the Republican on state charges, due to a lack of a special prosecutor willing to take the case.A group of four Georgia voters, including the former head of the Atlanta branch of the NAACP, on Dec. 7 asked a judge to declare that Jones was ineligible to hold office in Georgia because he violated his oath of office by signing his name as an elector for Trump. Democrat Joe Biden was certified as winning Georgia’s 16 electoral votes in the 2020 election.Opponents nationwide are challenging Trump’s eligibility to appear on the ballot, arguing he’s barred under a clause in the U.S. Constitution that forbids those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office. The pro...
