A federal judge on Friday (local time) dismissed Donald Trump’s lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James, rejecting the former president’s claim that she targeted him out of political animus and allowing her civil investigation into his business practices to continue.
In a 43-page ruling, US District Judge Brenda Sannes wrote that case law bars federal judges from interfering in state-level investigations, with limited exceptions, and that there wasn't evidence to support the Republican's contention that James, a Democrat, was proceeding in bad faith because of their differing political views.

The Washington Post - Trump, Cruz join NRA leaders in defiant response to Uvalde shooting
27 May, 2022
HOUSTON - Outside a National Rifle Association convention beset by high-profile cancellations after a massacre at a Texas elementary school, protesters massed on Friday to demand gun control and answers from authorities.
The Republican lawmakers who elected to keep their speaking plans at the annual gathering sounded a different note: Defiance.
Former president Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), among other speakers, broadly rejected proposals for new restrictions and called instead for more school security or mental health screenings, while issuing dark warnings of alleged Democratic plots to take weapons.
Some quotes from this article:
Former president Donald Trump:
“We all know they want total gun confiscation, know that this would be a first step.”
“Once they get the first step, they’ll take the second step, the third, the fourth, and then you’ll have a whole different look at the Second Amendment.”
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.)
“The elites who dominate our culture tell us that firearms lie at the root of the problem.”
“It’s far easier to slander one’s political adversaries and to demand that responsible citizens forfeit their constitutional rights than it is to examine the cultural sickness, giving birth to unspeakable acts of evil.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R):
“Just as laws didn't stop the killer, we will not let his evil acts stop us from uniting the community that he tried to destroy.”
All completely predictable. You cant argue with "logic" like that. 🙄

The Washington Post - Maker of Uvalde shooter’s rifle posted image of child with gun before massacre
26 May 2022
Gunmaker Daniel Defense posted online an advertising photo of a toddler holding one of its AR-15-style rifles just days before one of its firearms was used in the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Tex.
The photo shows a young boy holding the rifle on his lap, along with the caption: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
That is a reference to a Bible proverb.
FREEDOM. PASSION. PRECISION.® Daniel Defense is a family owned and privately held firearms manufacturer located in Black Creek, Georgia.
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
He is risen!
These are genuine images and captions from the Daniel Defence promotion. (link)

Jesus, I'm so glad my boys aren't going to be raised like that. That's sickening.

The Guardian - Trump calls Capitol attack an ‘insurrection hoax’ as public hearings set to begin
30 May 2022
As the House committee investigating the attack on the US Capitol by extremist supporters of Donald Trump prepares to start public hearings next week, the former president called the insurrection on January 6, 2021, a hoax.
Trump spoke at a rally in Wyoming on Saturday night in support of the Republican primary challenger in the midterm elections to congresswoman Liz Cheney.
Cheney sits on the committee and has been vilified by Trump since she voted in favor of his historic second impeachment over the insurrection.
Addressing the sub-capacity crowd * at a rally in Casper for Republican candidate Harriet Hageman, Trump slammed Cheney, saying: “As one of the nation’s leading proponents of the insurrection hoax, Liz Cheney has pushed a grotesquely false, fabricated, hysterical partisan narrative.”
* He's been getting a few of those recently.
Still in denial ... 😏
