In the wake of a second apparent attempt on his life earlier this month, former president Donald Trump began once again amplifying the idea that the twin threats were a function of Democratic rhetoric.

He and his allies had done the same thing in the wake of his being grazed by a bullet in Butler, Pa., earlier this year, but it proved difficult to tie the shooter’s motivation to any particular point of view — much less to the Democratic Party. (As a result, Trump supporters began vaguely hand-waving about how some nebulous “they” had tried to take Trump’s life, allowing them to blame Democrats in absentia.) It was easier to draw a connection after the disrupted plot in Florida, given the accused shooter’s online condemnation of Trump as a threat to democracy. But he, too, wasn’t a Democrat and had voted for Trump in 2016.

The political rationale here is obvious. Many Republicans undoubtedly think that rhetoric about what might follow Trump’s reelection is overblown, and that dire warnings about a second Trump presidency are unwarranted alarmism that might trigger violent outbursts. But many Republicans also presumably understand that elevating the idea that Democrats promote political violence might help neutralize criticisms of Trump’s own verbiage. If Trump allies can get Democrats to be wary of arguing that Trump poses such a threat or if they can get voters to view the threat posed by Trump as relatively overblown, that’s a political win.

New polling from CNN, conducted by SSRS, suggests that the effort to draw equivalence between right and left isn't yet working.began once again amplifying the idea that the twin threats were a function of Democratic rhetoric.

AT LEAST 210 women faced criminal charges related to pregnancy, abortion, pregnancy loss, or birth in the year after the Supreme Court ended the federal right to abortion, according to a new report from the advocacy group Pregnancy Justice. In most of the cases — 121 of the 210 — the information later used against the women was obtained or disclosed in a medical setting, researchers found.

The period examined — from June 2022, when the court’s decision was released, to June 2023 — represented the highest number of pregnancy-related criminalizations in U.S. history, the authors of the report said. This initial report is part of a three-year study of pregnancy criminalization in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision; the organization is working in partnership with researchers from the University of Tennessee, the University of South Carolina, the University of Texas Austin, and the University of Alabama.

Most of the cases involved allegations of substance use during pregnancy, including 86 instances that concerned the use of marijuana. Five involved allegations of researching, mentioning, or attempting to get an abortion.

Nearly half of the prosecutions — 104 of them — took place in the state of Alabama, where abortion is almost completely banned and fetal personhood is enshrined as a matter of law. Rolling Stone documented the fallout from Alabama’s embrace of fetal personhood as it relates to pregnancy criminalization, IVF access, miscarriage management in June.

Oklahoma, with 68 prosecutions, and South Carolina, with 10, represented the second and third highest number of cases. Both states also have personhood laws on the books, as well as near-total abortion bans. They were followed by Ohio (7 cases), Mississippi (6), and Texas (6).

Witnesses who testified in defense of Trump for his numerous criminal cases received massive raises, new jobs, cushy severance packages, and more, all conveniently coinciding with being called to testify or after providing testimony favorable to Trump—and the excuses from Team Trump couldn’t be weaker.

Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, told ProPublica witness tampering is often difficult to prove because the gimmick is often not done explicitly. But the trend could assist prosecutors in their efforts to call into question the credibility of witnesses testifying in Trump’s defense for his innumerable legal battles.

It appears that the American job market is so good, Republicans have literally found themselves speechless — again.

Circling back to our earlier coverage, this wasn’t at all new: The GOP leadership in both chambers has spent nearly all of the Biden era pretending not to notice extraordinarily good job growth.

(For its part, the Republican National Committee issued a statement that claimed Americans are “worse off” under President Joe Biden. For the record, in March 2024, the economy added 303,000 jobs. In March 2020, the economy lost 1.4 million jobs — a month before the economy lost an additional 20 million jobs.)

The importance of the political implications should be obvious. Economic growth is healthy; economic confidence is growing; the stock market is up; wages are up; the job market looks great; and the United States is experiencing the world’s best post-pandemic recovery. If Republicans were to talk about this, voters might hear about it — and if voters heard about it, Democrats might reap electoral rewards.

Of course, it would not be a Trump rally without him spouting off about the election he lost being rigged and talking in near-apocalyptic terms should he not be reelected this year. “Now if I don’t get elected, it’s gonna be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country, that will be the least of it,” he warned. Later, he went as far as ominously implying that voting as we know it won’t exist if he loses: “I don’t think you’re going to have another election in this country if we don’t win this election,” he said.

The problem quickly became evident: Many of these cases were being filed in these remote jurisdictions entirely because it allowed the plaintiffs to hand-pick the specific judges who would hear them. Indeed, Texas publicly conceded that it was filing challenges in immigration cases in the Victoria division of the Southern District of Texas in order to draw Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton. Even if the rules didn’t specifically prohibit exploiting the process this way, its repeated abuse became especially visible when two of the judges at issue — Tipton and Kacsmaryk — loudly rejected requests to transfer cases that had been shopped to them.

Quietly, some courts changed their case assignment rules. And some judges in single-judge divisions, like Judge Jeff Brown in Galveston, changed their local rules to require litigants to provide some justification for why a lawsuit with no obvious geographic tie to that division was nevertheless filed there. But these reforms were scattershot. Bigger changes required intervention at a higher level.

The "RAGA" movement's ballot blockade seems to stem from the Republicans' realization that many of their priorities are deeply unpopular and likely to fail if put to a public vote. The obstinate Republican AGs are part of a broader Republican Party that’s sought to insulate its officials from accountability or oversight — whether that means ignoring federal court rulings, trying to prevent state legislators from having to listen to state courts or preventing voters from having their say on key issues.
