This week, Judge Aileen Cannon gave Donald Trump two more big assists. She agreed to hold a multiday hearing on the constitutionality of the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith. And she appeared skeptical of Smith’s demand for a gag order on one of Trump’s most deranged attacks on law enforcement yet. We talked to law professor Corey Brettschneider, author of a new book called The Presidents and the People: Five Leaders Who Threatened Democracy and the Citizens Who Fought to Defend It. He vividly explains how Cannon is enabling Trump to attack the rule of law itself— and the dark antecedents this has in U.S. history. Listen to this episode here.

New York – As Trump anticipates his sentencing on July 11th in the New York hush money case, Florida Judge Aileen Cannon made a ruling this Monday. Despite rejecting Trump’s legal team's request to dismiss several charges in the classified documents case, she conceded on a minor point. She removed a portion of the charges that referenced an uncharged allegation, but upheld the other charges.

On Thursday afternoon, while you were fretting about how well President Joe Biden might perform in his debate with Donald Trump, a “planet-killer” asteroid roughly the size of Mount Everest passed within five million miles of Planet Earth. In cosmic terms, that’s really close—about 17 times the distance to the moon. Two days later, on June 29, a “city-killer” asteroid roughly the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza will pass within 180,000 miles of our planet. That’s actually closer than the moon.I don’t mean to downgrade other threats to the planet, such as climate change, nuclear annihilation, overpopulation, and...

The Supreme Court on Friday tossed some charges against Capitol rioter Joseph Fischer, “significantly weakening” the statute used to convict hundreds of rioters, according to Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern. The 6–3 decision on nonideological lines gives a boost to January 6 rioters and rests on the incredibly nitpicky interpretation of the order of words in criminal statutes.The statute at the heart of the case, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, includes two subsections that federal prosecutors have used in charging Capitol rioters:Whoever corruptly (1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent...

Joe Biden has had a great
presidency. By any objective metric, he has excelled as president. One of his
top aides, who worked closely with him in the Obama White House, said to me
last year, “I had no idea when he was vice president that he would be so effective
as president. He has exceeded my
expectations in every way.” Now Biden has an opportunity to
produce the perfect capstone for his presidency, an act of wisdom and
leadership that will seal his legacy as being among the best of this country’s
chief executives. He can pass the torch to a new generation of leaders. He can look

 Donald Trump’s revenge tour hit a snag in Virginia on Tuesday night during the state’s primaries.

MAGA personalities raged at CNN when it refused to allow a Donald Trump propagandist to smear journalists on air. They exploded again when CNN announced that the debate would be fact-checked. We think this provides an unexpected glimpse into what Project 2025’s implementation might look like. This thought was driven home by a must-read thread from writer David Roberts about Project 2025’s true aims. So we talked to Roberts about what MAGA’s hostility to neutral journalism portends for a second Trump term—one that wrecks the professional, fact-based civil service and transforms government into a tool for manufacturing propaganda. Listen to this episode here.

Justice Juan Merchan indicated that a harsher penalty might have been appropriate for Allen Weisselberg, Trump Organization’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO). He ended up with a five-month jail sentence due to a plea agreement. This sets a cautionary precedent for what might happen to Donald Trump, who faces more severe corruption charges.
