Trump’s increasingly charged criminal trial
Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
  • A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

  • The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

  • Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

  • The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: Summer Lee Secures Key Victory in Pennsylvania Primary
  • Pennsylvania congresswoman Summer Lee successfully navigated a primary challenge on Tuesday, securing progressives one of their most crucial wins of this election cycle while preparing for an influx of pro-Israel funding targeting candidates supportive of a ceasefire.

  • During the primaries, Lee emerged victorious against local council member Bhavini Patel, who had raised concerns about the stance of the progressive “Squad” member on the Gaza ceasefire.

  • The resonance of this argument was evident among many of Lee’s supporters and local Democratic figures. The Allegheny County Democratic party formally endorsed Lee in February, marking their support for her for the first time after having backed her opponent in the 2022 primaries.

  • Despite the pro-Israel lobby staying out of the picture, a Super Pac intervened in Lee’s primary to bolster Patel’s campaign. The Moderate Pac, with a mission to back centrist Democrats and significant funding from Republican megadonor Jeffrey Yass, allocated over $600,000 to support Patel.

Column: Nebraska should leave its electoral vote system alone: Gov. Jim Pillen shouldn't push for a winner-take-all system for Nebraska's electoral votes ...

Column: Nebraska should leave its electoral vote system alone
Quick Glance: Nebraska Should Maintain Its Electoral Vote System
  • Governor Jim Pillen is considering a special session to change Nebraska's electoral system to ensure Donald Trump wins all the state's electoral votes. However, this move is not as straightforward for Trump as Governor Pillen believes. It would not only make our state less democratic but could also backfire, potentially making Nebraska the deciding state that hands the election to President Joe Biden.

  • Pillen and Republican allies are pushing to switch Nebraska to a winner-take-all system to secure all five electoral votes for Trump. This plan is likely to backfire, as opponents are expected to organize a ballot initiative to reverse it.

  • Nebraska has a law allowing voters to challenge a bill before it becomes law through a petition process. If opponents gather the required 125,000 signatures, Pillen's transition to a winner-take-all system would be postponed until after November's general election and could be halted altogether if a majority of voters support the referendum.

  • A ballot initiative would also benefit Democrats in the 2nd District, a true swing district. If successful, it could serve as an additional motivating issue for voters who rightly oppose Trump's interference with the state's democracy for his own gain.
