A judge is hearing arguments about potential next steps in the federal election subversion prosecution of Donald Trump in the first hearing since the Supreme Court narrowed the case by ruling that former presidents are entitled to broad immunity from criminal charges. Prosecutors and defense lawyers submitted dueling proposals Friday ahead of the status conference before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over the case. Trump is not expected to be present. Special counsel Jack Smith’s... Читать дальше...
Opening statements are scheduled Thursday in the trial of a mentally ill man who shot and killed 10 people at a Colorado supermarket in 2021. Police say Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa targeted people who were moving, inside and outside the store in Boulder, killing most of them in just over a minute. No one, including Alissa’s lawyers, disputes he was the shooter. So the three-week trial is expected to focus on whether or not Alissa was legally sane — or able to understand the difference between right and wrong — at the time of the shooting. Читать дальше...
A judge will hear arguments over whether to move former Donald Trump presidential chief of staff Mark Meadows’ charges in Arizona’s fake elector case to federal court. Meadows argues the case should be moved because his actions were taken when he was a federal official working as Trump’s chief of staff and that he has immunity under a clause of the U.S. Constitution. Arizona prosecutors argue Meadows missed a deadline for the request and that his electioneering efforts weren’t part of his official role at the White House. Читать дальше...
Before voters even begin casting ballots, Democrats and Republicans are engaged in a sprawling legal fight over how the 2024 election will be run, a series of court disputes that could even run past Election Day if the outcome is close. Both parties have bulked up their legal teams for the fight. Republicans have filed more than 100 lawsuits challenging various aspects of vote-casting after being chastised repeatedly by judges in 2020 for bringing complaints about how the election was run only after votes were tallied.

Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have forced insurance companies to cover up to a year’s supply of birth control at a time. Supporters say the measure would have been especially important in providing access in rural areas. Dunleavy spokesperson Jeff Turner says the Republican governor vetoed the bill Wednesday because “contraceptives are widely available." The measure overwhelmingly passed the state Legislature this year: 29-11 in the Republican-controlled House and 16-3 in the Senate... Читать дальше...
Former President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, has begun his first year of college this week at New York University, his father said Wednesday.

Alaska governor vetoes bill requiring insurance providers to cover up to a year of birth control at a time.
An opposition party in Canada has ended a support agreement with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government, raising the odds an election could happen before the fall of 2025. Leftist NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh moved to distance himself from an increasingly unpopular Trudeau. “The deal is done,” Singh said on social media, bringing an abrupt halt to a pact that has kept the government running. Trudeau’s Liberals lack a majority of seats in Parliament and need the support of at least one other... Читать дальше...

Ricky Pearsall's shooting became a source of projection for some.
While the U.S. Border Patrol has arrested tens of thousands of Chinese at the U.S.-Mexico border over the past year, thousands are making Mexico their final destination. Amid a new wave of Chinese migrants leaving their country in search of opportunities, more freedom or better financial prospects, many are heading to Mexico and planning to start their own businesses there, taking advantage of the country’s proximity to the U.S. Last year, the Mexican government issued 5,070 temporary residency visas to Chinese immigrants...

A federal judge ordered the release Wednesday of a former U.S. Green Beret indicted in connection with a failed 2020 coup attempt against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Jordan Goudreau was arrested in July after a four-year investigation into the amphibious raid that ended with several combatants killed by Venezuelan security forces and two of his U.S. Special Forces buddies locked away in a Maduro government prison. Judge Virginia Hernandez Covington rejected prosecutors’ arguments Goudreau... Читать дальше...
Well-heeled Chinese are moving to Japan in droves, buying up homes and harboring hopes for opportunities. Some are scholars and artists. Others are dot-com entrepreneurs. So many wealthy Chinese have bought apartments in luxury high-rises in Tokyo that some areas have been dubbed “Chinatowns,” or “Digital Chinatowns.” Japan's proximity to China is a plus, as well as the country’s ease of living and rich culture. Immigration policies favor highly skilled professionals, and Japan has less of the sharp... Читать дальше...
Chinese families are increasingly flocking to Thailand for the country's quality international schools and relaxed lifestyle. They are middle-class, white-collar workers seeking a better quality of life, particularly for their children, in response to the intense competition in Chinese schools and cities. Parents want their kids to have the freedom to develop their own interests and hobbies instead of doing homework until midnight and having to take tutoring classes just to keep up in school. Migration... Читать дальше...

In a letter dated Wednesday to committee chair U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, lawyers for de la Torre said he needs to remain silent for now regarding the reasons for Steward’s bankruptcy. Democratic U.S. Sens. Edward Markey and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts called de la Torre’s refusal outrageous.

New U.S. charges allege that a media company linked to six conservative influencers was a front for a Russian influence operation. The accusations mark the third straight presidential election in which U.S. authorities have unveiled politically charged details about the Kremlin’s attempted interference in U.S. politics. They also indicate how Russia may be attempting to capitalize on the skyrocketing popularity of right-wing podcasters, livestreamers and other content creators who have found successful...
