Driver on Dale Mabry Highway claimed to have bomb in car, used drugs in front of officers: TPD
The Brief Tampa police say Jeremy Johnson fell asleep Thursday evening at the intersection of N. Dale Mabry Hwy. and Columbus Dr. Investigators say he claimed to have a bomb in the car, refused to get out and used drugs in front of officers. Police eventually arrested Johnson and found no bomb in the vehicle. TAMPA, Fla. - Tampa police say the driver behind an explosives threat that shut down a stretch of Dale Mabry Highway on Thursday evening had fallen asleep behind the wheel and was woken up by officers before he claimed to have a bomb in his car. The backstory The Tampa Police Department says officers responded to the intersection of N. Dale Mabry Hwy. and Columbus Dr. shortly after 6:30 p.m. after getting reports of a sleeping driver impeding the flow of traffic. Police say they found Jeremy Johnson, 30, asleep inside the car, which was still running with the gear in reverse. After officers woke him up, he refused to identify himself or get out of the car, according to TPD. Investigators also say they saw drug paraphernalia "in plain view," which Johnson picked up and smoked out of while still in the car. As officers tried to get Johnson out of the car and into custody, police say he claimed to have a bomb, causing investigators to shut down the southbound lanes of Dale Mabry between Tampa Bay Blvd. and Columbus Dr. TPD says no bomb was found in the car, and Johnson was arrested about 25 minutes after officers first approached him. What's next Johnson faces the following charges: Possession of cocaine Driving while license revoked (habitual offender) Resisting an officer without violence Possession of drug paraphernalia Possession of drug without prescription Driving under the influence Hillsborough County Jail records show Johnson is being held on a warrant out of Pinellas County for violating probation in a felony battery case.

England's High Court Warns Lawyers to Stop Citing Fake A.I.-Generated Cases
The High Court of England and Wales warned lawyers on Friday that they could face criminal prosecution for presenting to judges false material generated by artificial intelligence, after a series of cases cited made-up quotes and rulings that did not exist. In a rare intervention, one of the country's most senior judges said that existing guidance to lawyers had proved 'insufficient to address the misuse of artificial intelligence' and that further steps were urgently needed. The ruling by Victoria Sharp, president of the King's Bench Division of the High Court, and a second judge, Jeremy Johnson, detailed two recent cases in which fake material was used in written legal arguments that were presented in court. In one case, a claimant and his lawyer admitted that A.I. tools had generated 'inaccurate and fictitious' material in a lawsuit against two banks that was dismissed last month. In the other case, which ended in April, a lawyer for a man suing his local council said she could not explain where a series of nonexistent cases in the arguments had come from. Judge Sharp drew the two examples together using rarely exercised powers that were designed to enable the 'court to regulate its own procedures and to enforce duties that lawyers owe.' 'There are serious implications for the administration of justice and public confidence in the justice system if artificial intelligence is misused,' she wrote, warning that lawyers could be convicted of a criminal offense or barred from practicing for using false A.I.-generated material.

Dayforce's management team uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess operating performance because these financial measures exclude the results of decisions that are outside the normal course of its business operations, and are used for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes both for short- and long-term operating plans. Additionally, Adjusted operating profit, free cash flow, and free cash flow margin are components of certain management compensation plans. Additionally, Dayforce believes that the non-GAAP financial measures free cash flow and free cash flow margin are meaningful to investors because they are measures of liquidity that provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the strength of Dayforce's liquidity and future ability to generate cash that can be used for strategic opportunities or investing in its business. The reduction of capital expenditures facilitates comparisons of Dayforce's liquidity on a period-to-period basis and excludes items that management does not consider to be indicative of Dayforce's liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required by, defined under, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to Dayforce's results as reported under GAAP, have important limitations as analytical tools, and its use of these terms may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in its industry. Dayforce's presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that its future results will be unaffected by similar items to those eliminated in this presentation.

Montana Republicans dominated the 2024 election. Things got 'weird' as some sided with Democrats
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Following Montana Republicans' dominance in the fall election, a group of GOP lawmakers kicked off the 2025 Legislature with an unexpected move: ceding power to Democrats. The minority took full advantage, remaking legislative committees and banding with a handful of moderate Republicans to thwart GOP leaders' efforts to make Montana's judicial system more partisan. Similar alliances bolstered Medicaid expansion, raised teacher pay and passed a state budget increase that includes investments in affordable housing and health care. The partnership seemed to defy divisions between America's two major political parties that have played out in Washington, D.C., and in many statehouses. But it may prove fleeting if elections in the Big Sky State continue mirroring national trends that have hardened party lines. Montana's conservative and moderate Republicans alike express allegiance to President Donald Trump. Lawmakers meet for just a few months every two years inside Montana's Capitol, perched on a hill overlooking Helena, a city of about 35,000 people founded during an 1864 gold rush. It remains a true citizen legislature, opening the playing field for compromise, said political analyst Jeremy Johnson. 'Montana's becoming an outlier on how a state legislature is operating with this sort of dynamic,' said Johnson, an associate professor at Carroll College. A 'weird' session for Republicans As lawmakers wrapped up the session Wednesday, GOP legislative leaders went home frustrated at their failure to remodel the state's judiciary, rein in spending or fix rising property taxes. Republican Sen. Barry Usher, a GOP whip, said the majority got 'steamrolled" during the 85-day session. Republicans did band to impose more restrictions on transgender people and pass an income tax cut that Democrats decried as a handout to the wealthy. But conservative Republicans frequently found themselves sidelined as their moderate colleagues hammered out deals with Democrats on health care, education, taxes and other mainstays of government, effectively forming a new majority. Republican Senate President Matt Regier repeatedly called the turn of events 'weird.' 'There's always politics. You're jockeying for control,' Regier said in an interview. 'But I think at the end of the day, what's weird about it is that I think the conservative faction has been largely left out of conversations, left out of a seat at the table.' Moderates unbowed by rebukes Republican leaders tried to shame party members they viewed as defectors, censuring nine senators in February. In April, the party declared it would no longer recognize those lawmakers as Republicans and would stop funding or otherwise supporting their campaigns. The senators were unbowed and have continued to side with Democrats on key votes. 'Really all we did is make sure everybody was treated fairly,' said Sen. Josh Kassmier, one of the nine lawmakers. They were not alone in bucking party leadership: The defeat of Republican proposals to make Montana's judicial system more partisan came in the state House, where GOP moderates hold sway. Libertarian tendencies that transcend party Moderates have gotten some political cover from Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte, who has appeared with them at public events. 'Every single person who was elected to the Legislature is representing their constituents,' Gianforte replied when asked if party infighting was squandering its mandate from voters. Senate Minority Leader Pat Flowers said Montana's embrace of libertarianism — as seen in its aversion to big government and its tradition of gun ownership — transcends party lines. Montanans "don't want just hyperpartisan battles where there are winners and losers, because then there are winners and losers among our citizens too,' Flowers said. Nationwide, Republicans control both legislative chambers in 27 states, versus 17 for Democrats. Republicans have held more statehouse seats and chambers than Democrats since 2002, and the political lines have become more static in the last several election cycles with fewer chambers flipping control, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But in states with partisan control, factions often emerge. In Wyoming, the ultra-conservative Freedom Caucus of Republicans holds its first majority in a U.S. statehouse and passed substantial property tax cuts and bans on diversity programs this year. Its members' differences with mainstream Republicans have become more consequential than those between Republicans and the state's few Democrats. In states like Oklahoma and South Carolina, mainstream Republicans still hold majorities but fend off challenges from both the left and the far-right. A tradition of bipartisanship Until recently, Montana had a tradition of 'ticket splitting' — electing a mix of Democrats and Republicans to higher office. That forced state lawmakers to work together out of necessity. Both parties joined this year to establish an Indigenous People's Day in Montana, finding compromise after a decade of failed attempts. In contrast, Trump said this week that he would not follow his predecessor's practice of recognizing Indigenous People's Day nationally. 'Every legislative session I've asked myself, 'Are we going to see this bipartisan effort, particularly without having a Democratic governor anymore?'" said Johnson, referring to former Gov. Steve Bullock, who left office in 2021 after serving two terms. "And, so far, the answer is yes. You have this group that keeps reemerging. I don't know how much longer it will keep happening that way.'
