Judge in Trump hush money trial postpones sentencing to consider whether the case should be tossed

Judge Juan Merchan ruled after prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office said they wouldn’t object to a delay in Trump’s sentencing.

The judge presiding over Donald Trump‘s New York hush money trial on Friday postponed the sentencing that was scheduled for next week to allow for more time for arguments on whether the case should be dismissed.

State Judge Juan Merchan ruled after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office said in a court filing earlier this week that it wouldn’t oppose a motion by Trump’s attorneys to delay his sentencing on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

The payoff Hegseth settled a sexual assault claim in 2020 to protect his Fox News job. Should defense secretary qualifications be lower than those for a Fox & Friends host?8.

A Trump Judge Just Nixed Overtime Pay for Millions—and Media Yawned

Remember the right-wing frenzy over “Rich Men North of Richmond”? Well, this ruling exposes Trump-MAGA hypocrisy on the working class—and reveals a big media failure.

It’s not for sure going to be Kash Patel, but it sure is starting to look like it now. Good thing I archived a healthy collection of Kash Patel stuff over the last 4 years.

Georgia Fires Entire Committee on Maternal Mortality Over Leaked Report on Abortion Ban Deaths

The heartbreaking story of Amber Thurman was first reported in ProPublica earlier this year

Georgia’s top health official, public health commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey, has fired every member of the state committee on maternal mortality over leaked stories of women in Georgia who died unnecessarily due to restrictive abortion bans.

The stories of the two women who died, Amber Thurman and Candi Miller, were reported in ProPublica earlier this year. The stories laid bare how women are increasingly put in danger in a healthcare system in Georgia that requires doctors to abandon ethical care to adhere to extremist anti-choice ideologies.
