At this point, if John Roberts were to decide whether a candidate could hold the presidency for three terms, he would find a way of justifying if for Trump, while banning Barack Obama from running. Count on it. This guy is as corrupt as they come.

Louisiana is the first location where this type of crackdown is taking place under a state law that makes it a crime — even for local officials and police — to interfere with federal law enforcement.
Why New Orleans Became Trump’s Newest Immigration Target
Recent legal changes, a Trump-friendly governor and a large immigration detention infrastructure could make the New Orleans crackdown easier for the administration.

In 26 days, Americans across the country will see their health premiums skyrocket.
This doesn't have to happen.
But time is running out for Republicans to work with Democrats to lower costs and reverse the health care crisis they created.

Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else.
So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.

And beyond that, if DOJ is struggling this hard to get an indictment, it's hard to believe their evidence is sufficient for a jury to convict at trial, using the "guilt beyond a reasonable doubt" standard the prosecution must meet.
By law, the Department of Justice CAN go to another grand jury and try again. But even if they succeed (a big IF in this case), the DOJ will have handed Letitia James even more evidence for her vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss the charges. And that motion was already quite strong.
A separate source familiar with the matter said there “should be no premature celebrations.”
