Trump asks federal court to seize N.Y. hush-money caseAxios | Rebecca Falconer | 08/30/24
Former President Trump's lawyers asked a federal court on Thursday night to seize the New York hush money case from the state as he seeks to overturn his conviction.
Why it matters: Trump is due to be sentenced on Sept. 18 for his historic conviction on 34 felony counts over falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels over an alleged sexual encounter.
His filing seeks to delay this, arguing that his constitutional rights were violated during the prosecution and that it went against the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity. ... Read more
Rachel Maddow: 'Don't sleep on what is happening in the states' | MSNBC | 08/27/24 | 8:59- CHECK YOUR VOTING STATUS. I'm a Democrat in a very red state (Arkansas). I just received a letter from the state that said I am no longer eligible to vote because I moved to another address. I have lived at the same address since 1986 and vote in every election. CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION.
- The party of a failed reality TV star..YOURE FIRED!!!
- It's almost like having a whole party based on ignoring reality is a bad move
- This should be WAY more discussed on multiple news outlets. Journalists hold a responsibility to report on this mess.
- LAWD!! The Republican Party Is A Complete JOKE!
- Thank you Rachel Maddow for your excellent reporting! I am a Michigan resident living in Muskegon County. Muskegon County is one of the blue counties in the state! I attended the Michigan State Democratic Convention on Saturday, August 24, 2024. It was outstanding. Even got my picture taken with Michigan's Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Voting blue up and down the ballot. I am a Navy Veteran, my son is at the Naval Academy class of 2027 and is a prior enlisted with 5 years of enlisted service; and I have a daughter in the 82nd Airborne in North Carolina. I am voting blue because, as a veteran and a mother, I know the only way to protect our country and our democracy is to vote for a competent, intelligent, individual with integrity, to lead our nation.
- Trump taught them well. Don't believe in the votes and never leave. Even if you are guilty and lost.
Britain's bankers want Donald Trump back Whisper it, but the City of London wants Donald Trump back. As the U.S. heads for a highly contentious and close election in November, at the top of London's pragmatic financial district there's a distinct lack of fear, and even a little enthusiasm, at the prospect of Trump returning to the White House. Of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. For the free-market City, a Trump presidency could come with unwelcome protectionist attitudes toward global trade and potentially inflammatory views of the war in Ukraine, which could roil markets. But Trump's more laissez-faire stance on finance could also in theory make it easier to access the U.S. market at a time when the City is trying to find growth, having lost a chunk of its EU business after Brexit. ...

Robert ReichIn 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.

Lindsey GrahamSen. 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.
