    Trump v New York
    New York is getting its comeuppance. In the four years that Donald Trump was out of office, no state political establishment besides the Biden White House did more to persecute the former president through banana republic-style weaponization of courts.

    If you want to see a prime example of the lawlessness of the Civil Rights Division under the Merrick Garland-run Justice Department, look no further than the “Consent Decree” with Cobb County, Georgia, that DOJ tried to sneak through before the Trump administration took over.
