Times Analysis Finds Errors in Trump’s Supreme Court Filing That Calls for National Guard in Chicago
The Trump administration has claimed the police were slow to protect federal agents on Oct. 4, but videos and audio show that their rationale conflates hours of events involving a shooting, a protest, a car crash and a police radio call.

Ppl ignore this key factor when they assess how they decide cases. It’s not only the financial interests of their donors, it’s what keeps Dems from winning and thus imposing ethics: voting rts, gerrymandering, voter suppression, etc

Zohran Mamdani: Cuomo’s become Donald Trump’s ‘puppet’ and ‘parrot’
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is leaning into every aspect of his identity that sets him apart, even as powerful figures try to convince the country that diversity, equity, and inclusion are bad things. After Andrew Cuomo said in a recent interview that diversity is our strength but “can also be a weakness,” Mamdani criticized his opponent for being “Donald Trump’s puppet” and “Donald Trump’s parrot.” Vice President JD Vance also recently made remarks that’s receiving backlash for othering people who speak different languages. In response, Mamdani tells Ali Velshi, “The issue is not what language Americans are speaking at the dinner table, it's that they can't afford to put food on it.”
