Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer , D-N.Y., issued a sharp warning Saturday about President Donald Trump’s posture toward Venezuela, accusing him of edging the U.S. "closer and closer to another costly foreign war" without congressional approval. In a blistering statement, Schumer criticized Trump’s recent escalation towards Venezuela and argued that the president had upended the Constitution. "President Trump’s reckless actions towards Venezuela are pushing America closer and closer to another costly foreign war," Schumer stated. "Under our Constitution, Congress has the sole power to declare war — not the President — and Congress has not authorized the use of military force against Venezuela." The minority leader cautioned the president to avoid entering into another overseas conflict, writing that "Americans are tired of endless foreign wars that cost the lives of countless American service members and drain precious resources."

This Thanksgiving, I am taking a moment to reflect on the many blessings we enjoy, especially the hard work America’s farmers and ranchers do day in and day out to produce an abundant and affordable food supply.    And this year, we have even more to be thankful for, as the Thanksgiving dinner is returning to normal prices following record inflation during the Biden administration.   Like the entire agricultural community, turkey farmers work year-round to supply our Thanksgiving tables with the food we know and love.  In 2024, that meant raising 200 million turkeys on about 2,500 farms across the United States, with the majority being family farms. This is no small feat, especially while our farmers face the risk of bird flu and many other challenges that impact our small businesses across the country.

A Louisiana man who spent nearly 30 years on death row walked out of prison Wednesday after a judge overturned his conviction and granted him bail. Jimmie Duncan, now in his 60s, was sentenced to death in 1998 for the alleged rape and drowning of his girlfriend’s 23-month-old daughter, Haley Oliveaux — a case long clouded by disputed forensic testimony. His release comes months after a state judge ruled that the evidence prosecutors used to secure the conviction was unreliable and rooted in discredited bite-mark analysis. Fourth Judicial District Court Judge Alvin Sharp tossed the conviction in April, concluding that the expert testimony presented at trial was "not scientifically defensible" and that the toddler’s death appeared consistent with an accidental drowning.  "The presumption is not great that he is guilty," Sharp wrote in his order last week granting Duncan bail, pointing to new evidence presented at an evidentiary hearing last year and the fact that ...

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office announced Tuesday that it intends to retry Pedro Hernandez , the man found guilty of kidnapping and murdering a 6-year-old boy decades ago.  Etan Patz went missing in 1979 after he walked to his bus stop alone for the first time in New York City. He was one of the first missing children to appear on milk cartons.  Hernandez confessed to the crime nearly three decades later, and was sentenced to 25 years to life after being convicted of murder in 2017. His first trial ended in a hung jury in 2015. "The District Attorney has determined that the available, admissible evidence supports prosecuting defendant on the charges of Murder in the Second Degree and Kidnapping in the First Degree in this matter, and the People are prepared to proceed," Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Sarah Marquez wrote in a statement.

Rep. Eric Swalwell , D-Calif., accused a top housing official of secretly pulling Democrats’ private mortgage records and weaponizing them to trigger federal criminal probes, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday. In the suit, filed in federal court in Washington, D.C. , Swalwell claimed that Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte abused his position to obtain the mortgage records of numerous Democrats, which he used in criminal referrals to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

"Today I have filed a civil lawsuit against FHA Director Bill Pulte for violating the Privacy Act and First Amendment," Swalwell said in a statement. "Director Pulte has combed through private records of political opponents. To silence them." ...

This is an argument for mercy. Somebody please send it to Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred. Among the most important decisions Commissioner Rob Manfred will make in the course of his career as baseball’s top cop — and the one for which he will be most remembered — is how he punishes Cleveland Guardian pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz. Commissioner Manfred: Don’t do the easy thing. Do the thing that teaches the most people about the best way to act. Teach justice and mercy. It’s a big moment. You can’t go wrong with justice and mercy. GUARDIANS PITCHERS INDICTED IN GAMBLING SCHEME INVOLVING MLB GAMES As of today, the most memorable decision Manfred has made was an awful one — he pulled the All Star Game from Atlanta in 2021.

(It was not, only absurdist ideologues still argue anymore that it was, and we have to assume ...
