Inside a courthouse nestled between Tribeca and Chinatown on Monday morning, former President Donald Trump's lawyers argued with the district attorney's office over procedures for a hush-money case that could send an ex-commander in chief to prison for the first time in American history. New York state Judge Juan Merchan advised lawyers that he was getting a little annoyed by the "minutiae." With a pool of 500 prospective jurors waiting, he wanted to get started with the process of picking 12....

As Donald Trump fronts up to a Manhattan court this week for his latest lawfare flogging from Democrats, Biden boosters are doing their best to trumpet a poll turnaround for the president.
J.L. Partners polled 1000 likely voters for their thoughts on Trump's VP pick. The results were tight, only moving the numbers by a point at the margins. But in a close election that could be enough to secure a victory over Joe Biden

"So the banker, the third witness, is the least sensational witness that we've heard from, but also in my view, the most important," he said Friday night on the network. "Because when people ask, 'Well, where's the crime?' it's really important to remember because we've just spent a week immersed in hush money payments and porn stars and payouts — the crime...

Michael Lind has written a provocative commentary, partly in response to John Judis and Ruy Texeira’s recent book, “Where Have All the Democrats Gone?” Lind would have us believe that the Democratic Party will do better in November than its naysayers suggest.
