Since he didn’t have to be in court yesterday, Donald Trump got in a little golfing at his course in New Jersey and then went to a park in the Bronx for a rally.

President Biden is way ahead in recent polls of voters in both New York and New Jerse...

From trying to direct Judge Juan Merchan on how to handle objections to staring the judge down, Donald Trump’s only witness is causing chaos in the courtroom. Robert Costello’s conduct
caused the judge to clear the courtroom so he could tell Costello his actions were contemptuous and if it continued he’d be removed from the stand and have his testimony stricken.

Justices are supposed to avoid the appearance of any bias, but the flag was present as Justice Alito considered cases regarding the election. He...
