A Study in Senate CowardiceIn late June of 2022, Cassidy Hutchinson, a former Trump-administration aide, provided testimony to the congressional committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol. This testimony was unnerving, even compared with previous revelations concerning Donald Trump’s malignant behavior that day. Hutchinson testified that the president, when told that some of his supporters were carrying weapons, said, “I don’t fucking care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the fucking mags away.” He was referring to the metal detectors meant to screen protesters joining his rally on the Ellipse, near the White House.Hutchinson also testified that Trump became so frantic in his desire to join the march to the Capitol that at one point he tried to grab the steering wheel of his SUV. This assertion has subsequently been disputed by Secret Service agents, but what has not been disputed is an…

‘Ken, You Lost This Case’: Texas AG Mocked for Absurdly Claiming a ‘WIN’ After Supreme Court…AP Photo/Eric Gay, File Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) has an astounding talent for avoiding consequences — surviving last year’s impeachment effort and weaseling out of a long-running securities fraud criminal case with only restitution and community service as penalties — but even he can’t get away with a flat-out lie about a Supreme Court verdict against his office. Paxton was suspended from office after being impeached by the Texas House over multiple counts of corruption and bribery. He got his job back after he was acquitted by the Texas Senate, a legislative body where his wife Angela Paxton (R) is a state senator (although the rules barred her from the vote) and that is led by Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R), who is supported by the same cabal of wealthy West Texas…

A New Police Force Chased a 17-Year-Old Boy to His Death. Then It Vanished.Cruising south down a two-lane highway in Montana, Braven Glenn looked out onto the open road, the evening sky chilly and dark. It was November 24, 2020—half a year into the pandemic and three months after his 17th birthday. He was a good student, on his way to pick up his girlfriend, a basketball player like him, at her house on the Crow Indian Reservation. Most days, Braven took his time while driving; his friends sometimes teased him for staying below the speed limit. But lately he hadn’t been feeling like himself—not since his grandma died from Covid weeks earlier. On this particular night, when a car ahead of him sat at around 60 mph in a 70 mph zone, he signaled and passed it, slowing again to the speed limit after crossing back over the dotted…

Biden Opposes Bill That Would Keep Cops and Feds From Buying Your DataA bipartisan group of lawmakers is once again trying to keep the government from performing an end run around the Fourth Amendment by buying people’s personal data. This week, President Joe Biden indicated that he opposed the bill. H.R. 4639, known as the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act, “expands prohibited disclosures of stored electronic communications” to include purchases of data by law enforcement and intelligence agencies. First introduced in 2021 by Sens. Ron Wyden (D–Ore.), Rand Paul (R–Ky.), Patrick Leahy (D–Vt.), and Mike Lee (R–Utah), the bill has been reintroduced in subsequent sessions. The current version was introduced in the House by Rep. Warren Davidson (R–Ohio) and in the Senate by Wyden and Paul. On Wednesday, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D–N.Y.), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee and one of the House bill’s cosponsors, affirmed his…
