From the start of the investigation into Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents, U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon has seemed inclined to act in favor of the president who appointed her. Now, Cannon might be poised to issue her most audacious ruling yet, on Trump’s far-fetched bid to have the indictment dismissed on the grounds that special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment is constitutionally invalid.This is the kind of Hail Mary motion that should have been dispatched quickly after Trump’s lawyers filed it in February. But that’s not the Cannon way. Instead — four months later, and more than a…

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently offered unusually effusive praise of President Biden’s leadership. “I think that Joe Biden is someone who is very clear, who knows exactly what he is doing and who is one of the most experienced politicians in the world, especially when it comes to international politics,” he said in the wake of a Group of Seven meeting that finalized a $50 billion loan to Ukraine backed by frozen Russian assets. He added that Biden has “pursued a policy that has led to proper economic development in the country, that has helped to ensure that peace and…
Trump campaign fraudsters ratchet up scamsAFP via Getty Images Cybersecurity researchers say two developments involving the Trump 2024 presidential fund-raising campaign have left the door open for fraudsters to strike fast and smart. According to a new report from Netcraft, the important dates were May 21, when the Trump campaign said it would accept donations using cryptocurrency and May 31, when Trump was convicted of 34 felony charges in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.

Something unusual happened last week when former President Donald Trump visited Capitol Hill for the first time since the Jan. 6 riots. Despite getting some of his first face time in years with various Republican doubters, haters, and resisters to the Trump cause, Trump was congenial toward them.

What the hell is going on? Trump made visits to both House and Senate Republican gatherings last Thursday. (Neither…

Since it was formally incorporated, the company has received…
WASHINGTON (AP) — A plan to make it a right nationwide for women to access in vitro fertilization and other fertility treatments will not become law after Republicans blocked a bill known as the Right to IVF Act from advancing. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer forced a vote on the matter Thursday in an effort to drive an election-year contrast on reproductive care. Both of Mississippi’s U.S. senators, Republicans Roger Wicker and Cindy Hyde-Smith, voted against the Right to IVF Act. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, a military veteran who has used the fertility treatment to have her two children, has championed…
In her latest newsletter entry, Mary L. Trump, niece of former President Donald Trump, issued a scathing rebuke of her uncle, labeling him the “death candidate” in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.Her sharp criticism comes in the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision to strike down a federal ban on bump stocks, which Trump banned during his presidency, which allow semi-automatic rifles to fire at rates similar to machine guns.The Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling, penned by Justice Clarence Thomas, determined that bump stocks are not equivalent to machine guns and therefore cannot be banned under the same statute.
