Judges are assigned to criminal trials at random, but there aren’t a ton of judges in each circuit, so it’s not surprising that the Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal case has been assigned to the same judge — Juan Marchan – who also presided over the Trump Organization criminal trial and the Allen Weisselberg criminal trial….
Donald Trump has had a fair amount to say in the hours since he was criminally indicted in Manhattan, much of it frantic to the point of unintelligible. At one point Trump declared in all caps that he had been “INDICATED” (we think he meant “INDICTED”). Now, at 3:00am eastern time, Trump is having yet…
Donald Trump has yet to appear on camera since his criminal indictment in Manhattan. Instead Donald Trump Jr. is filling that void for now.

Now that Donald Trump has been criminally indicted, numerous people in Trump world are putting on angry performances tonight in the hope of scoring cheap points with Trump’s base.

And it turns out they don’t know how to do that. In a stunning moment in the latest Republican House hearing, Lauren Boebert tried…
Earlier this week new polling revealed that a majority of Americans support the criminal prosecution of Trump, and that just 23% of Americans think Trump is being treated unfairly and did nothing wrong. These are devastating numbers for Trump in the court of public opinion. Now Trump is doing what he does best: bathing himself…
When Florida Governor Ron DeSantis decided to punish the Walt Disney Company for daring to support LGBT rights, Disney more or less just sat there and let DeSantis do it – and everyone wondered why. Now we know why: Disney had a plan outwitting DeSantis at his own game. It turns out DeSantis’ new handpicked…
In the two weeks since it became clear that Donald Trump was going to end up criminally indicted in Manhattan, he’s used his social network to publicly lash out at everyone from District Attorney Alvin Bragg, to key grand jury witness Michael Cohen, to potential trial witness Stormy Daniels.

House Republicans are trying as hard as they can to be on the wrong side of as many things as they can, in an effort at pandering to the worst instincts of the most messed-up people out there. The trouble with their strategy is that sometimes real world events get in the way of their…
Ever since Republicans narrowly took control of the House and installed limp brained Kevin McCarthy as their “Speaker” with the backing of insurrectionist extremist Marjorie Taylor Greene, they’ve done nothing but try to sabotage the nation. Fortunately, President Joe Biden isn’t about to let these House Republicans sabotage the budget and the economy. Biden sent…
