Anti-Trump Lawyer’s Nonprofit Secretly Aided State Prosecutions of Trump Supporters, Memos Show
Democratic attorneys general deputized private lawyers from a nonprofit run by former Obama ambassador and anti-Trump activist Norm Eisen to help prosecute supporters of President Donald Trump for organizing alternate electors to challenge the 2020 election results, according to tax records and internal memos released under open record laws.

Anti-ICE Protesters Who Disrupted Minnesota Church Service Avoid State Charges
A Minnesota attorney said dozens of anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters will not face state charges for their disruption of a Minnesota church service earlier this year.
The 39 protesters are facing federal civil rights charges for disrupting the church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, in January. The charges came after a livestreamed video showed them interrupting services at Cities Church by chanting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good," after the protesters learned that one of the church pastors was also an ICE official.

It had nothing to do with China, except that in a meltdown, the reactor’s core would, so to speak, drop all the way there.

Music Spotlight: Paige King Johnson
I was instantly drawn to Paige King Johnson and her music when I first met her at CRS in 2023. I knew then that I wanted to feature her in my column, and, more than three years later, I finally get to do so.
Johnson was raised on a horse farm in North Carolina. She shared, “Music has always been in me, as it is for most artists, but I didn’t know it was a job option. I did think that music would be involved in my life somehow.”
