Donald Trump is being prosecuted for (among other things) lying to his supporters about stolen votes and rigged elections.

And now he's at it again. Trump…

It seems there's hardly a court case Donald Trump can't lose. The highest appeals court in New York has rejected Trump's attempt to get the existing gag order in his New York criminal case lifted. The appeals court rejected Trump's arguments and left the gag order in place while Trump's case is pending sentencing. Trump is circling the drain. If yo…

The more JD Vance talks, the clearer it becomes that he's one of history's worst VP candidates.

Of course, the fake electors are…

Trump is forever trying his criminal cases in the court of public opinion, where there are no rules of evidence, no rules of procedure, and no rules of law. However, once his cases move into courts of law, Donald Trump will be (and has been) convicted in a New York minute. Glenn discusses why Trump's recent admission on TV that he "interfered' in t…
