A family is contemplating legal proceedings after a 1-year-old child, initially declared dead at an Arizona hospital, was discovered alive in the morgue.

The child’s parents might face child abuse allegations after confessing to marijuana use and neglecting supervision during a Super Bowl gathering. The child, Vincent Fiordilino, was found unresponsive in a swimming pool, prompting first responders to transport him urgently to a hospital, where he was mistakenly pronounced dead.

The family is preparing to take legal action against Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert Medical Center and the attending physician, known as Dr. Toosi. As reported by AZFamily, bodycam footage captured Dr. Toosi declaring the child deceased at 6:20 p.m., only for the mother and a nurse to soon observe signs of life.

According to a police report reviewed by a local news source, Vincent was still showing potential life signs, as indicated by the movement observed in his chest and stomach area.

When this information was brought to Toosi, the report states, the doctor responded “arrogantly” and said, “he was the doctor, he has the medical degree, he went to medical school for a reason, and to let him do his thing.”

Medical officials later found the child breathing and carrying a pulse just before midnight at the morgue. He was then flown to Phoenix Children’s Hospital, where it was confirmed he was suffering from severe medical issues related to the near-drowning.

According to a GoFundMe drive set up for the boy, Vincent’s kidneys, lungs and liver began shutting down after he arrived at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. An MRI initially identified two small areas of potential brain damage, but later testing reportedly found no brain damage. The fundraiser says Vincent continues to require extensive therapy, ongoing medical monitoring and treatment as he recovers.

Neither Toosi nor the parents have been charged with a crime in relation to the incident. Toosi’s attorney declined to comment on the issue when contacted by AZFamily.

According to AZFamily, a Dignity Health spokesperson said the hospital conducted a review following the incident.

“This is a heartbreaking situation. We immediately conducted a thorough review of all aspects of the care that was provided to learn what happened and to make meaningful changes to strengthen our care,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “Out of respect for the patient’s privacy, we cannot discuss details. We continue to work with the family and their representative. Patient safety and exceptional care is our highest priority.”

President Trump has announced plans to request the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider its recent decision that invalidated his executive order on birthright citizenship. The high court struck down the policy just last week.

In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump referred to the ruling as a “miscarriage of justice” and expressed his determination to seek a rehearing from the Supreme Court. He emphasized the ruling could potentially endanger America unless it is overturned.

In a decision made on the last day of its term, the Supreme Court dismissed the executive order, which was one of Trump’s initial actions as president. The order stipulated that for a child born on U.S. soil to automatically gain citizenship, at least one parent must be a U.S. citizen or have permanent legal status.

The decision was backed by Chief Justice John Roberts, alongside conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett and the liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Their ruling underscored that the 14th Amendment unequivocally guarantees citizenship to nearly all children born in the United States.

In his detailed 26-page opinion, Chief Justice Roberts highlighted, “Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land.’”

Justice Brett Kavanaugh disagreed with the majority’s decision on whether the order violated the 14th Amendment but voted to block the policy under federal law mirroring its language.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented. In his 39-page dissent, Alito wrote the court “made a serious mistake” in upholding birthright citizenship.

While losing parties can ask the high court to rehear cases, the justices rarely grant the request.

Steve Vladeck, a professor at the Georgetown University Law Center, said in 2024 that the high court has not agreed to any rehearing of a ruling in an argued case since 1965 and has not agreed to a plenary rehearing since 1956. 

“Instead, the principal significance of rehearing petitions with respect to merits rulings today is how they affect the timing of the remand to lower courts,” Vladeck wrote on his “One First” Substack. 

Under federal law, losing parties must petition for the rehearing of a judgment or decision by the high court within 25 days of its entry, unless the court or a justice shortens or extends that timeframe. 

“The time for filing a petition for the rehearing of an order denying a petition for a writ of certiorari or extraordinary writ will not be extended,” the law states.

The Cheetahs are making a comeback!

In a wave of revivals and sequels of beloved Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOMs), it seemed inevitable that The Cheetah Girls would soon see a fresh installment.

For those who spent their childhoods glued to Disney Channel in the early 2000s, The Cheetah Girls holds a special place in their hearts. The iconic trio of films featured the talents of Raven-Symoné, Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, Sabrina Bryan, and Kiely Williams. They portrayed high school students Galleria, Chanel, Dorinda, and Aqua, who pursued their dreams in the music industry while navigating teenage life. The dynamic group was known for their confidence, ambition, and remarkable singing and dancing abilities. Who could ask for more?

More than 20 years have passed since the debut of the original film, yet The Cheetah Girls’ legacy endures. Now, it’s time for a new generation to experience the magic. Disney has announced the fresh faces who will step into the shoes of these iconic characters in The Cheetah Girls: Next Gen. Keep reading to discover who will be the new amigas cheetahs.

Who stars in The Cheetah Girls: Next Gen?

In a breathtaking twist of events, a Florida mayor has found himself in hot water after being discovered driving a police vehicle and deploying its flashing blue lights to secure a VIP-like passage through traffic. This incident has raised eyebrows far beyond the sunshine state’s borders.

Recently unveiled body camera footage reveals the moment when Hialeah Mayor Bryan Calvo, age 28, is pulled over by a Miami police officer. The encounter occurred after Calvo allegedly executed an improper left turn in the upscale area of Coconut Grove, Miami, around 11:30 a.m. on June 14.

What appeared at first to be a routine traffic stop quickly became more serious when Officer Yasmani Gonzalez spotted that the black Chevrolet SUV Calvo was navigating was equipped with flashing red and blue police lights, a feature typically reserved for law enforcement vehicles.

The officer, his curiosity piqued, asked pointedly, “Is this a police car? Is this your personal?” The confrontation was captured in the footage, highlighting the striking nature of the scenario.

Calvo, unfazed, responded, “I’m an elected official,” noting that his role as mayor is non-partisan. This remark, however, did little to clarify why he had access to such a vehicle and the authority to use its emergency features.

The response did little to impress the officer.

‘You turned on your police lights,’ the officer told him. ‘That’s a criminal offense, and I can easily take you to jail.’

The tense roadside exchange continued as the officer delivered a reminder that holding an elected office position does not entitle him to lawless behavior.

‘I don’t care if you’re the mayor,’ Gonzalez slammed. ‘If you’re not a police officer, don’t activate police lights.’

The officer then warned Calvo that he was driving a police vehicle despite not being a sworn law enforcement officer. 

Gonzalez proceeded to threaten jail time, saying, ‘that right there could be a third-degree felony.’

However rather than making an arrest, the officer issued Calvo two citations – one for the improper left turn and another for having prohibited emergency lights on the vehicle. 

Court records show the mayor has pleaded not guilty to both violations. It also remains unclear whether Calvo is still driving the SUV.

The footage has also launched fresh questions over why the city’s mayor was driving a police-issued SUV equipped with functioning emergency lights.

Florida law generally limits the use of blue lights to authorized emergency vehicles and does not provide a specific exemption for mayors. Although municipalities may authorize rare vehicle assignments or equipment for operational purposes, local policies do not supersede state law.

Driving a city vehicle equipped with police-style equipment could be interpreted as the impersonation of a police officer, even if emergency lights were not activated and is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Persistently denying any wrongdoing, Calvo has insisted the SUV belonged to the Hialeah Police Department and that the emergency equipment had been installed long before he took office.

In a statement he penned, ‘One citation relates to a traffic maneuver and the second concerns equipment that was installed on a vehicle owned by and registered to the Hialeah Police Department, a vehicle that was refitted before I took office and before the vehicle was assigned to me.’ 

The blue lights incident was not Calvo’s first run-in with the law. 

In July 2023, while serving as a Hialeah council member, Calvo was stopped by a Hialeah Police officer for allegedly failing to stop at a traffic signal while driving a red Tesla, according to Hialeah Police Department records.

The case bore a civil penalty of $277. However, Miami-Dade Clerk of Court records reveal the case was swiftly dropped at the request of the citing officer.

While the earlier citation did not involve allegations as serious as those raised during the June stop, the repeat run-in is likely to fuel mounting scrutiny over the driving conduct of one of South Florida’s highest-profile elected officials.

The Daily Mail has reached out to the Miami Police Department and the City of Hialeah Mayor’s Office for comment.

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has opted to pause a race-specific grant initiative following the commencement of a compliance review by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), as announced by the DOJ on Tuesday.

According to the DOJ, this grant program, known as the Capacity Strengthening Initiative, was designed to include only organizations that served communities of color. It offered “strategic consideration” and prioritized proposals from organizations headed by leaders from these communities.

Furthermore, the DOJ claimed the program favored distributing more funds to communities identified as “Black or African American” and “nonwhite Latino(a).”

The Grant Portal, an independent third-party source, described the 2023 Capacity Strengthening Grant as aiming to bolster the effectiveness of metropolitan and rural community-based and faith-based groups that assist communities of color, American Indians, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people with disabilities.

The strict race-based language, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division explained, was a violation of the Civil Rights Act.

“Recipients of federal dollars cannot decide who benefits from those funds on the basis of race, color, or national origin,” Dhillon said in a DOJ statement. “The Department appreciates that the State of Minnesota has recognized this foundational principle and has repealed the statute governing the program.”

MDH withdrew the grant program after the DOJ initiated a review based on Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the DOJ statement claimed. Title VI prohibits any recipient of Federal financial assistance — a group that includes MDH — from discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin.

News Media contacted the DOJ and MDH for further comment and confirmation.

Erewhon, the trendy lifestyle brand, now offers a new twist on luxury with their very own holy water.

Known for catering to influencers, celebrities, and wellness enthusiasts, this upscale grocery chain has unveiled its exclusive ‘Sacred Water,’ priced at $12, promising a premium and refined beverage experience.

Marketed as a purifying elixir, Sacred Water combines grape juice, coconut milk, coconut water, jasmine tea, basil, anise, cardamom, and raw honey into a delightful mix.

Served in a 12 oz cup, each ounce of this drink costs $1, translating to around $0.50 per mouthful.

The creation of this unique beverage was a collaboration with the hair-care company Jolie Skin Co.

In an Instagram post celebrating the release, Jolie shared that the nectar was inspired by the ancient understanding of water as “a symbol of renewal, ritual, and transformation” and that they wanted ingredients to feel “historic and revered.”

While the price may be off-putting, there is a membership workaround that gets guests “free” Sacred Water.

For the aspirational, an annual base-level “Select” Erewhon membership is relatively reasonable at $100 and includes tonic bar perks such as free Sacred Water.

As with most things sold at Erewhon, influencers are all over it, and the drink is eliciting both reverie and rage.

“Wow,” exclaimed Lydia Grace, an LA-based chef on Instagram. She described the drink as “floral coconut water” and called out the green cardamom for elevating the flavor profile.

“Ok, obsessed, $12 water, make it my new routine,” raved influencer Annie Sharp in another social video.

Among other influencers who tried — and loved — the Kool-Aid is flight attendant and fitness coach Troy Manandic.

“I totally get why they call this Sacred Water,” he said in an Instagram post that reads like a sponsored religious conversion, “This flavor is like nothing I’ve ever had; it’s super light and so hydrating. I never thought water could taste this good.”

Despite some rave reviews, many commenters were less convinced.

“What a scammmmm,” one wrote.

“They are bulls—ting all the richies to spend their money on nothing special,” added another.

“Not worth it, but yet again, everything in that store isn’t worth it,” quipped someone else.

The nectar of the 1 percent is available now through the end of September at all Erewhon locations in Los Angeles, so get the good while you can, folks.

Erewhon, which started in the 1960s as a niche health food store and has since grown into a cultural phenomenon, is no stranger to price controversy.

In 2024, the store caught heat for the price of ice as the luxury market was peddling a bag of eight large, Penny Pound Ice “ballz” for a staggering $32.

Erewhon has also been ridiculed for its $20 strawberries and $11 bone-broth hot chocolate.

Of late, Erewhon also partnered with Simplehuman, the premium home brand best known for its sleek, high-tech trash cans and sensor makeup mirrors, to launch a limited-edition beverage called, wait for it, Liquid Steel.

Also, $12, the Liquid Steel smoothie is inspired by the stainless steel used in the brand’s iconic trash cans and kitchen accessories.

It blends coconut water, watermelon, and lime with electrolytes, creatine, collagen, magnesium, and potassium — a combo designed to support hydration, recovery, and daily performance.

Charlie Kirk’s family, represented by their attorney, passionately appealed to the judge during Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing. They sought the release of an uncut video from his lover’s police interview.

Today, it is anticipated that the court will hear a partially-censored audio recording. This features Lance Twiggs, aged 23, who was Robinson’s transgender former roommate and partner, discussing Kirk’s murder, which occurred on September 10.

The recorded interview took place in April in Utah. However, the judge mandated the redaction of 15 minutes to prevent influencing potential jurors. The specifics of the omitted content are unknown.

The defense has contested the idea of playing the entire recording, arguing it could be perceived as a confession, thus jeopardizing Robinson’s right to a fair trial.

In a dramatic turn of events on Wednesday, Jeffrey Neiman, attorney for the Kirk family, broke his silence to urge the judge to unveil the complete, unaltered footage.

‘I’ve been very hesitant to speak up at these proceedings,’ he said. ‘But I want to be clear on the Kirk family’s position is on all of this. 

‘The Kirk family believes strongly that if it is admitted in this preliminary hearing, it should be made public for the world to see. No redactions.’

He continued, ‘To not be transparent, to not be open, to not let the world see what happened will create doubt and distrust in the judicial system, and that’s not what anybody wants.

‘That’s not what any of us believe should happen here and we’d ask the court to consider the position of the family and making this decision.’ 

On Thursday, the judge ruled that only part of the recorded testimony will be played in court and some audio would only be played for those in attendance, while some other exhibits would not be visually displayed to the gallery at all. 

Following Neiman’s impassioned plea to the judge, Erika Kirk also issued a scathing legal filing pressing the importance of ‘transparency’ in the case. 

‘To not be transparent here, to not be open, to not let the world see what happened, will create doubt and distrust in the judicial system,’ Neiman reiterated in the filing. 

Graf said he viewed the Twiggs interrogation footage in its entirety, and while part of it would be withheld, he would consider the entire video in his determination of whether prosecutors can bring Robinson to trial. 

Twiggs was vaulted into national infamy after prosecutors alleged that Robinson left his roommate and lover a handwritten confession after assassinating Kirk, and texted him about plans to hide the murder weapon. 

Authorities said Twiggs quickly cooperated with investigators and offered his DNA for testing, as well as providing text messages from Robinson in which the alleged murderer said he believed Kirk ‘spread too much hate.’ 

Prosecutors pushed to release Twiggs’ police interview video as they allege Robinson assassinated Kirk because he was upset over the influencer’s conservative political views.

The video led to a lengthy back-and-forth as Robinson’s defense attempted to block Twiggs’ recorded statements and force the suspect’s former lover to testify in-person, which would have allowed him to be cross-examined. 

On Wednesday, Utah District Judge Tony Graf said he would allow the video to be played, but 15 minutes of the video would be redacted. 

The footage to be played in court was taken in Twiggs’ second police interview in April 2026, but the suspect’s roommate was also interviewed in the aftermath of the shooting in September 2025 as well. 

Twiggs was granted limited immunity in the case, meaning his statements in the police interview cannot be used against him by prosecutors. 

Twiggs was living with Robinson in a townhouse in St. George, Utah at the time of Kirk’s assassination. Twiggs has not been charged with any crime related to the assassination. 

The 23-year-old went into hiding following the assassination and was not seen for five months, until the Daily Mail tracked down the elusive roommate in Texas in February. 

Those who knew Twiggs before the shooting say he was kicked out of his strictly Mormon home when he was 18 over disagreements over religion, drugs and gaming, but he appeared to have reconciled with his family after Kirk’s assassination. 

In the aftermath of the shooting that shocked the nation, prosecutors say Robinson sent a number of texts to Twiggs, including one telling him to look under his computer keyboard to find a handwritten confession note. 

The note read: ‘I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it,’ according to court filings.  

When Twiggs responded in disbelief and asked how long Robinson had been planning the shooting, he responded, ‘A bit over a week, I believe’, prosecutors said. 

Robinson said he believed Kirk ‘spread too much hate,’ and texted Twiggs about his rush to flee the scene and contain evidence, according to court filings.

‘If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence,’ Robinson allegedly wrote.

‘Going to attempt to retrieve it again… I might have to abandon it and hope they don’t find prints.’

Authorities said when they found Robinson’s rifle, they discovered unspent shell casings engraved with political messages, including one that read, ‘Hey Fascist! CATCH!’

In his alleged texts, Robinson referenced these engravings, writing: ‘If I see ‘notices bulge uwu’ on Fox News I might have a stroke.’

Robinson capped off his messages by warning Twiggs, ‘Don’t talk to the media please… if any police ask you questions ask for a lawyer and stay silent,’ the filings said.

Authorities said Twiggs showed the messages to investigators when questioned, and has cooperated with the case.

Twiggs also voluntarily provided a mouth swab of his DNA to help the investigation, which has been raised in Robinson’s pre-trial hearings this week as his DNA was found on a towel wrapped around the alleged murder weapon.
