DOJ Can't Hold Charges Over Eric Adams' Head, Judge Rules
The decision by Judge Dale Ho rejected the Justice Department’s request to dismiss the case against Adams without prejudice. This would have allowed them to hang those charges over the mayor’s head in order to pressure him to do the administration’s bidding on immigration policies. Still, Ho lit into the administration’s immigration rationale as both false and tantamount to blackmail. While the charges have now been dismissed, Ho noted that the court did not rule on their merits. The combined force of the now-dismissed charges and his deal with the Trump administration have tainted his mayorship with corruption.

Trump Set To Announce Biggest Tax Increase On Americans In Decades
“It’s an extraordinary tax increase,” said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a conservative economist with the American Action Forum and formerly the director of the Congressional Budget Office. White House officials declined on Tuesday to reveal exactly how large a tariff Trump would impose and on which countries, although his statements in recent days have suggested that it would be across the board.

I’m A Teacher. Here’s The Shocking Truth About The ‘Woke’ Indoctrination Of Students That Terrifies Conservatives.
I can’t help but read the comments whenever the local news posts anything political on social media — especially when it’s related to public education. Although I’m in public higher education now, I was a public high school teacher for over a decade. Students talk a lot about what their teachers do and say — and they particularly love to focus on the bad stuff. Despite how all of this might sound, I am honestly not claiming that scores of conservative teachers are indoctrinating our students in the classroom. The bigger takeaway is that like in-person voter fraud, political indoctrination in public schools is incredibly rare.

Proof Of Citizenship Requirement Could Affect Millions Of Voters
But two efforts, one each from the White House and congressional Republicans, have made the prospect of a national proof of citizenship requirement a real possibility. In Congress, the so-called SAVE Act would similarly mandate proof of citizenship documents. And if voters needed to provide documentary proof themselves, millions would be at risk of disenfranchisement. Both the White House efforts and the SAVE Act are also strangely vague when it comes to what documentation is required. Both mention passports as an acceptable proof of citizenship, but half of American citizens don’t have a valid passport.

Stock Markets Fall Worldwide As Trump's 'Liberation Day' Approaches
A sign outside the New York Stock Exchange marks the intersection of Wall and Broad Streets, Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025, in New York. (AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson) via Associated PressNEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” is fast approaching, and stock markets from Wall Street to Wellington, New Zealand, are falling Monday in advance of it. Trump has said he’s plowing ahead in part because he wants more manufacturing jobs back in the United States. If the April 2 tariffs end up being less onerous than investors fear — maybe Trump includes no additional tariff increases on China, for example — stocks could rally. The deal comes just weeks after Rocket acquired real estate listing company Redfin, and Rocket’s stock fell 7.8%.
