The Federalist: DOJ Opens Probe Into New York AG's Get-Trump Lawfare
The Department of Justice has initiated a grand jury investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James, focusing on her office's actions against Donald Trump prior to the 2024 election. Allegations include deprivation of rights and management of cases involving Trump and the NRA.
James has been criticized for allegedly politicizing her office, as she pursued a civil fraud lawsuit against Trump, resulting in a significant penalty. A representative claimed the investigation signifies a misuse of the justice system, while James faces separate scrutiny over potential falsification of records related to her residency.
Fox News: Georgia attorney general sues GOP opponent in governor's race over campaign financing
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr has filed a lawsuit against Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, challenging the legality of Jones' campaign funding through a leadership committee. Carr argues that this structure violates his First and 14th Amendment rights by creating an uneven playing field in the Republican primary.
Carr seeks to block Jones from using his leadership committee for fundraising and spending until the primary election, claiming it allows Jones to bypass contribution limits. Jones' campaign has labeled Carr a hypocrite for previously defending the same law he now contests in court. The Republican primary is set for May.
Fox News: US appeals court blocks Trump contempt proceedings ordered by Boasberg
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 2-1 that Judge James Boasberg cannot proceed with contempt proceedings against the Trump administration regarding the alleged violation of an emergency court order related to the deportation of Venezuelan migrants. The ruling, which may be appealed, was supported by two Trump appointees.
Boasberg had previously found grounds for contempt after the Trump administration deported migrants despite his order to return them to U.S. soil. The appeals court noted that the administration's actions were not criminal, but the case continues to evolve as it may be taken up by the full court or the Supreme Court.
Forbes: Could Texas Democrats Be Fined Or Charged For Leaving State? Here’s Why Legal Experts Are Skeptical.
Over 50 Texas Democratic lawmakers have left the state to prevent a quorum in the Texas House, blocking GOP efforts to redraw congressional maps in their favor. They face potential fines of $500 per day and possible bribery charges for accepting funds from outside groups to support their absence.
Legal experts suggest the consequences may be difficult to enforce, as proving bribery requires direct evidence of an agreement, which appears lacking. Additionally, the $500 fines may conflict with Texas campaign finance law, potentially allowing Democrats to challenge them.

CBS has announced the cancellation of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," set to end in May 2026, citing financial challenges in the declining late-night advertising market. Paramount Chair George Cheeks emphasized that the decision was purely economic and not influenced by the show's content or performance.

The Telegraph: Trump has never tried to stop Putin, but with our help Kyiv can hold off Moscow
Donald Trump, who claimed he could end the Ukraine war in 24 hours, has seen the conflict persist for over 24 weeks. Despite some shifts in his rhetoric and frustration with Putin, Trump has yet to implement significant deterrents against Russia. The potential for a meeting with Putin raises questions about the effectiveness of his approach.
While Trump seems to seek a deal, Putin remains focused on his goals of rebuilding Russian influence and is not under pressure to cease hostilities. Despite Ukraine's resource limitations, it continues to resist effectively, with notable advancements in drone warfare, challenging the narrative of its defeat.
