If Trump is elected to the office of president, he could ask any of the departments–including the Department of Defense–to act on his behalf, no matter what that ask is, there’s no stop-gap measure.  And a reminder: we are talking about the man who wanted police to shoot BLM protestors (he was told no because it was illegal. Not any more!).

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

HARRISBURG, Penn. — An appeals court in Pennsylvania reversed the lower court’s decision to dismiss a third-degree murder charge pinned on a bar security job who fatally punched an intoxicated bar patron. His counsel said the single punch couldn’t possibly convey malice, an element needed to meet the charge, but the facts indicate otherwise: He punched the victim unprovoked and had lied to the bar manager, saying the patron merely fell to the ground on his own.

AUSTIN, Texas — A federal court in Texas allows part of a father’s civil rights lawsuit to proceed against Williamson County, its sheriff’s department and the producers behind the reality TV show “Live PD.” Because the show was so integrated into the department’s operations — deputies would get gift cards as an incentive for appearing on TV — they allegedly decided not to arrest the man’s son at a hearing and instead filmed a dramatic raid on the family home, scaring the family and humiliating them. His conspiracy claim may proceed.

The Supreme Court’s striking 6–3 ruling in Donald Trump’s immunity case on Monday means that it will be that much more difficult to use the criminal courts to hold a former president accountable, giving the president more power to act with impunity. The same justices who ruled to jail people who are homeless and sleeping outdoors even if there is no shelter, whose ruling in Dobbs turned millions of people’s abortions into a crime, now say that applying the same criminal justice system to the president as to the voters that elected him threatens the rule of law.After former President...
