Following President Yoon Suk Yeol’s declaration of martial law, South Korea’s National Assembly voted overwhelmingly to lift the decree, with all 190 present members supporting the motion. The Assembly chair declared the martial law declaration invalid, urging citizens to remain calm. Thousands protested outside the parliament building, demanding the president’s impeachment, while international actors like the US and UK expressed concern and monitored the situation closely. The Korean won also experienced a sharp decline against the US dollar.

Special Counsel Jack Smith moved to dismiss all federal charges against President-elect Donald Trump concerning classified document mishandling and election interference. These dismissals stem from the Department of Justice’s longstanding policy prohibiting the indictment of a sitting president, a policy invoked previously during Trump’s first term and now applicable due to his re-election. While the government maintained the merits of its cases, the policy’s application necessitated the dismissal. This decision, following Supreme Court rulings bolstering presidential immunity, marks a significant moment, leaving the pursuit of accountability for these alleged actions to Congress via impeachment.

The fate of Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts in New York will be determined next week, with a judge deciding whether to grant his request to dismiss the case. If the judge upholds the conviction, Trump will face sentencing later this month, a move that would be unprecedented in American history. While the judge is unlikely to sentence Trump to jail time due to his status as a sitting president, his legal team is expected to seek delays and appeals. This case, unlike federal charges against Trump, remains a significant legal hurdle due to the unique complexities of sentencing a sitting president and the lack of presidential pardon power in state cases.

Jack Smith’s decision to pause the January 6th case after Trump’s election has sparked outrage and disappointment among many. It feels like a surrender to the corrupt system that allows wealthy and powerful individuals to escape consequences for their actions. The anger and frustration are palpable, with many feeling like the justice system is rigged against the common person.
People are questioning why it took four years to bring this to trial, highlighting the glacial pace of justice in this situation. The perception is that the Department of Justice has been cowardly and inactive, failing to hold Trump accountable for his actions.… Continue reading
McConnell backed Jack Smith and wanted Trump to “pay” for the events of January 6th. That’s what the headlines read, that’s what people are talking about. But let’s take a step back and really look at McConnell’s actions and the impact they have had on our country.
You know what would have really allowed Trump to pay? Convicting him during the two impeachment trials. That was McConnell’s chance to send a clear message that inciting an insurrection will not be tolerated. But what did he do? He chose to acquit. He had the power to hold Trump accountable, to make sure he “paid” for his role in January 6th, but he failed to act.… Continue reading
The recent leaks of Supreme Court memos revealing John Roberts’ role in shielding Trump from prosecution are not just a political debacle; they are a threat to the very fabric of our democracy. The fact that the chief justice himself urged his colleagues to rule in favor of granting Trump immunity is a clear indicator of the corruption and partisan bias that has infected the highest court in the land.
It is utterly disheartening to witness the erosion of judicial integrity in such a blatant manner. The Supreme Court, which was once held in high esteem as a symbol of justice and impartiality, now stands tarnished by its complicity in shielding a former president from accountability for his actions.… Continue reading
House G.O.P. Makes Impeachment Case Against Biden Without Proof of Crime
The recent news of House Republicans attempting to impeach President Biden without any proof of a crime is both baffling and concerning. How can a political party claim to represent the best interests of the American people when they are wasting time and resources on baseless allegations? It is clear that this latest impeachment attempt is nothing more than a desperate ploy to undermine the Biden administration and tarnish his reputation.
The fact that the House G.O.P. is choosing to focus on impeachment rather than passing legislation that would benefit the country is a stark reminder of their misplaced priorities.… Continue reading
I am deeply troubled by the recent revelations surrounding Justice Thomas’s failure to disclose more private flights. The fact that a Supreme Court Justice, who is expected to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct, has been involved in such behavior is alarming. How can we trust in the integrity of our justice system when those tasked with upholding it appear to be bending the rules for personal gain?
It is concerning that Justice Thomas seems to think he is above the law, above the need to disclose gifts and favors he has received. As a public servant myself, I know that even the appearance of impropriety can have severe consequences.… Continue reading
As I sit here and digest the overwhelming amount of information and opinions surrounding the corruption within the Supreme Court, particularly regarding Justices Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of frustration and concern. The intertwined web of deceit, greed, and blatant disregard for the rights of the American people is not just a matter of ethics, but a threat to the very foundation of our democracy.
When Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took the bold step of filing articles of impeachment against Thomas and Alito, I felt a surge of hope. Here was a leader who understood the stakes, who recognized that the corruption within the highest court of our land is not just about a few bad decisions, but a systematic erosion of trust and justice.… Continue reading

The allegations range from failure to disclose pertinent information to refusal to recuse from cases where personal biases or prejudices were evident. These are serious accusations that question the integrity of the highest court in our country.
It is concerning to see such blatant disregard for ethical conduct from individuals tasked with upholding the law and ensuring justice for all. The fact that Supreme Court Justices, who are expected to be impartial and fair, are embroiled in controversies involving conflicts of interest and potential bribery is alarming.… Continue reading
