JoJo Siwa And Chris Hughes Share A Healing Moment
JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes's romance keeps going mega viral. After being accused by the internet of sometimes sharing "too much information," JoJo shared a "healing" moment between her and Chris, and now people are changing their tunes. In early June, the Dance Moms and Love Island alums confirmed their relationship was "not platonic any more" after everyone witnessed their friendship blossom on Celebrity Big Brother UK in April. Since then, JoJo and Chris have dominated social media, sharing different aspects of their romance, and the internet has mixed reactions. Earlier this month, people speculated that JoJo and Chris were expecting their first child after watching their TikToks. And earlier this week, people were horrified when Chris shared too much information in an E! News interview about how JoJo calls his testicles "Jimmy and Timmy." Well, the always-online couple dropped a new video, but it appears the internet is not cringing but praising how Chris treats JoJo. On July 24, JoJo shared an Instagram video of her becoming emotional after Chris compliments her hairline. In a lengthy caption, JoJo wrote, "He had no idea of the 2017-2020 hairline memes, that I'm not affected by on the daily anymore, but him saying this out of thin air literally finished healing a part of me." "It's almost like I had a band aid over it for the last 8 years and just wa leaving it there scared to look under it to see if it's healed and he removed it being like why do u have this on before I could even explain what it was," she continued. In the video, JoJo laughs and cries as a slightly confused, but compassionate Chris comforts her. "Lucky lucky girl I am. Don't even think I realize how lucky sometimes 🤍✨🥺." Based on the reactions, people are gushing over this extremely wholesome moment between them: One Instagram user wrote, "Find someone who heals you without even trying❤️" "omg i'm so happy jojo is getting the love she deserves," one person wrote. Another person wrote, "She's in her healing era ✨ and we LOVE that for her!!" Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause said, "This is extremely cute." Someone else said, "He's so soft with her. It's so cute." "He's legitimately the sweetest guy. He's very sweet on you. I love it. You deserve him so much. You deserve real happiness, JoJo," another user wrote. Another Instagram user said, "Stop I'm crying for you. You know you've found your person when they begin healing parts of you that they didn't break & you didn't know could be healed. They love you for every part of you. I'm so happy for you too my goodness😭🤍🤍." And finally, somebody said, "I'm here for this relationship ❤️." Watch JoJo's reaction to Chris in real-time here:

Judge Maria Carroccia said that she did not find the accuser's evidence 'credible or reliable.' Dan Robson and Katie Strang have more previously unreported details on the tumultuous trial that shook the sport, and wonder if the players' exoneration will provide a path back to pro hockey. They are ineligible to play in the NHL while the league considers the judge's findings, though the players' association took issue with that approach.

I was a bar advocate for 27 years. Here's why I had to quit.
This hourly rate barely covers the necessary expenses of the job: office rent (required by the Commonwealth), legal research subscriptions, administrative help, printing costs, and malpractice insurance. On top of these expenses, I often need to buy clothes for clients to wear at trial and personally pay for transportation costs to drug treatment facilities. Advertisement I write personal checks to fund my clients' constitutional rights, draining my savings so poor defendants can compete against well-funded prosecutors. Seventeen years ago, I carried $20,000 in IRS debt — money borrowed from my future to fund support for my clients. My husband has since paid that debt so I could continue the calling that was destroying me financially. I eventually stopped taking District Court cases because I was losing money on each case. Superior Court cases paid more, but the stress was much higher. These weren't simple matters — they were complex felonies involving thousands of pages of discovery, expert witnesses, and lengthy investigations. The higher pay barely covered the massive increase in work needed for a proper defense. After nearly three decades in the industry, I walked away from my three-year contract in February with Suffolk Lawyers for Justice because the work had become financially impossible. A recent work stoppage by defense attorney has forced the dismissal of numerous criminal cases, undermining public safety and the administration of justice. Advertisement The financial burden is only part of the story. The work itself is gutting and causes a psychological toll. Bar advocates visit prisons several days a week, often meeting with allegedly dangerous and mentally ill clients. For example, I once sat in a large cell at MCI- Cedar Junction Walpole's Disciplinary Unit interviewing a client chained to the floor, his body so restricted by restraints he could barely move. I remember him struggling to adjust his eyeglasses while wrestling with all the chains around his body. Correctional officers flanked each side of the room, their presence a constant reminder of the power imbalance that defines every aspect of the criminal justice system. Massachusetts, the second highest cost-of-living state, according to Forbes, pays court-appointed defense attorneys $65 an hour. New Hampshire, which isn't in the top 10 most expensive places to live, pays its attorneys $125 an hour. Maine pays its attorneys $150 an hour. Why is there such a big difference? This isn't just about wanting more money. It's also about whether Massachusetts is serious about equal justice. When defense attorneys are forced to choose between paying their bills and properly defending their clients, the constitutional foundation of our justice system crumbles. The Sixth Amendment right to counsel becomes an empty promise. The Massachusetts Legislature can address this crisis by amending the proposed compensation language in the bar advocate compensation bill filed by Representative Christopher Markey of Dartmouth: raise rates for homicide cases to $155 an hour, Superior Court non-homicide cases to $120 an hour, and District Court cases to $100 an hour. This increase would help the state retain experienced attorneys and ensure constitutional rights remain more than empty promises. Advertisement After 27 years as a bar advocate, I can say with certainty: Justice isn't just blind — it's also broken. Until Massachusetts pays what constitutional rights actually cost, the state will continue watching experienced defense attorneys abandon poor clients, leaving our most vulnerable citizens with lawyers who can't properly defend them. The choice is simple: Fund real justice or accept that equal justice is just empty courthouse decoration.
