Trump casts upcoming sentencing date in N.Y. case as election interference
Axios | April Rubin | update 08/15/24

Former President Trump's legal team requested on Wednesday that the judge in his hush money case delay sentencing until after the November presidential election.

Why it matters: Trump's sentencing for the 34 felony counts he was convicted of is scheduled on Sept. 18. The Republican presidential nominee's lawyers said in a letter that proceeding with the date would constitute election interference.

"Setting aside naked election-interference objectives, there is no valid countervailing reason for the court to keep the current sentencing date on the calendar," attorneys Todd Blanche and Emil Bove wrote in the request to Judge Juan Merchan, who has overseen the case. ... Read more

Why Musk and Trump are on the same side
Vox | Whizy Kim | 08/13/24

The richest man in the world and the former president's glitchy, cringeworthy interview, explained.

Last night, former President Donald Trump returned to X, the social media site once known as Twitter in as bombastic a form as possible: a livestream with the site’s now-owner Elon Musk. The interview on Spaces, X's platform for live audio conversations, covered everything from illegal immigration to union busting. At one point, Trump and Musk underscored the need for an American leader who would inspire fear in other countries. Over the course of two hours, the richest man in the world and the former president of the United States reminded us that they share some striking similarities - giant egos, a love of attention and social media, yet at the same time a sense of victimhood. ...

Robert Reich

In an interview with The New York Times in 2008, Reich explained that "I don't believe in redistribution of wealth for the sake of redistributing wealth. But I am concerned about how we can afford to pay for what we as a nation need to do [...] [Taxes should pay] for what we need in order to be safe and productive. As Oliver Wendell Holmes once wrote, 'taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society.'"

In response to a question as to what to recommend to the incoming president regarding a fair and sustainable income and wealth distribution, Reich said: "Expand the Earned Income Tax Credit—a wage supplement for lower-income people, and finance it with a higher marginal income tax on the top five percent. For the longer term, invest in education for lower income communities, starting with early-childhood education and extending all the way up to better access to post-secondary education."

Reich is pro-union, saying: "Unionization is not just good for workers in unions, unionization is very, very important for the economy overall, and would create broad benefits for the United States." Writing in 2014, he stated that he favors raising the federal minimum wage to $15/hr across three years, believing that it will not adversely impact big business, and will increase higher value worker availability.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the quiet part aloud on why he’s still so close to former President Donald Trump: because we can use him for our goals. "President Trump has gotten people who wouldn't give me or Romney or anybody else the time of day. They believe he is on their side," the senator told the America First Agenda Summit crowd on Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
