Raskin: Thomas Should Recuse Himself In Trump Ballot Cases

Rep. Jamie Raskin, the House Oversight Committee’s ranking Democrat, said on Sunday that he believes Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should recuse himself if the high court decides to hear cases regarding decisions in some states on whether to remove Donald Trump from primary ballots in 2024.The Maryland Democrat’s remarks came after officials in Colorado and Maine recently decided that the former president and current front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination is not eligible to appear on their ballots, citing the Constitution’s insurrection clause.“It was actually two very conservative legal scholars who wrote the best, most authoritative law review article on the whole thing, saying that Donald Trump is clearly disqualified from being on the ballot because he participated in...

Maine State Official Who Removed Trump From Ballot Was Targeted In Swatting Call At Her Home

A fake emergency call to police resulted in officers responding Friday night to the home of Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows just a day after she removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause.She becomes the latest elected politician to become a target of swatting, which involves making a prank phone call to emergency services with the intent that a large first responder presence, including SWAT teams, will show up at a residence.Bellows was not home when the swatting call was made, and responding officers found nothing suspicious.While no motive for the swatting attempt was released by the Maine Department of Public Safety, Bellows said she had no doubts it stemmed from her decision to remove Trump f...

Wisconsin Supreme Court Orders New Legislative Maps In Redistricting Case Brought By Democrats

MADISON, Wis.

Robert De Niro Slams ‘Monster’ Donald Trump: ‘Anything To Get Rid’ Of Him

Robert De Niro is making it clear again that he won’t touch former President Donald Trump with a 10-foot pole.The actor gave his two cents on the “monster” GOP frontrunner in an interview shared by Rolling Stone on Wednesday.“Now, this guy is beyond dangerous, and I just hope people can realize it. Once you go down that road, it won’t be easy to come back,” said De Niro, who noted that he initially thought Trump would maybe “straighten out” when he was elected president.De Niro, who has ripped the former president on a number of occasions, later broke down why he’d take President Joe Biden over Trump.“I think that if Biden was on a gurney and couldn’t move anything but his eyes to blink ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ he’s our person,” he said.“There’s no way that he’s not the guy to take Trump down.
