Malinowski’s crime in AIPAC’s eyes was supporting conditions on aid to Israel, a position that is gaining traction among House Democrats as public polling shows increasing numbers of Democrats and Americans opposing Israel’s massacre of Gaza. Mejia, endorsed by leading progressives including Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is on the verge of […]

Source: The Trump administration has, once again, failed to persuade a grand jury to approve a criminal indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James, and at this point, chronicling President Donald Trump’s journey of L’s in his efforts to prosecute his political rivals and detractors feels like bullying.

When Habba’s 120-day term expired in July, the district’s judges declined to extend her appointment and instead elected Desiree Leigh Grace, the district’s first assistant U.S. attorney, to serve in an interim role. That choice sparked a flurry of moves to re-install Habba as the interim U.S. attorney. Bondi fired Grace from her position as […]

What a baffling, tone-deaf statement. How would people already struggling with rising prices have the time or money to uproot their jobs, homes, and families to move to a state that has a few thousand more Republican voters? “Move to a red state where the general cost of living and quality of life is worse, […]

The change would only happen by getting past the DNC’s rules and bylaws committee, then the majority of the committee’s 450 members, and then state Democratic parties.

In its filing yesterday, the government did little to dispute the facts, arguing instead that if Halligan misled the jury, dismissal would be inappropriate unless the court found prejudice. That may be true in the abstract, but nothing about these errors feels harmless: The misstatements were grave, fundamental, and, given the grand jury’s already narrow […]

This was already an unusual move on the grand jury’s part; the cliche is that a decent prosecutor could get one to indict a ham sandwich. (Well, with some notable exceptions.) Prosecutors then revised the indictment to only include the other two charges. Instead of properly submitting that indictment to the grand jury again, they […]

For Trump, revenge is a perfectly rational strategy, consistent with his other efforts to consolidate power. “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!” he wrote on Truth Social in August 2023 and, sure enough, he has come after his enemies, with considerable effect. He has intimidated an entire political party into obsequious submission […]
