Federal charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams have been dropped with prejudice by Judge Dale Ho, meaning the case cannot be reinstated. This decision follows a request from the Department of Justice, supported by a court-appointed friend, citing concerns that the ongoing investigation hampered Adams’ governance and 2025 mayoral campaign. While the DOJ stated the dismissal wasn’t based on evidence strength, Judge Ho’s ruling acknowledged concerns about a potential “bargain” but ultimately lacked the authority to compel continued prosecution. Adams, who maintains his innocence, has apologized to New Yorkers.

The Department of Justice is instructing its staff to ignore Elon Musk’s requests for their job details. This directive, issued from the highest levels of the DOJ, signals a clear refusal to cooperate with Musk’s demands. The situation underscores the absurdity of the situation and highlights the power struggle between a private citizen and a governmental body.
This unprecedented request from Musk raises serious questions about his motives and authority. It’s a blatant overreach, attempting to exert control over a branch of the government he has no legitimate power over.

In a move criticized by accountability advocates, the Department of Justice has deactivated the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database, a system designed to prevent the rehiring of officers with misconduct records. Operational for just over a year, the database compiled disciplinary information from nearly 150,000 federal officers across 90 agencies. The White House offered no specific reasoning for its elimination, despite concerns about “wandering officers” who transfer between agencies with past misconduct. The database’s closure, however, leaves the National Decertification Index, a separate registry for state and local officers, unaffected.

The case initially stemmed from allegations that SpaceX violated immigration laws by prioritizing US citizens and lawful permanent residents in its hiring practices, supposedly justifying this stance by citing US export control regulations.
However, the Justice Department later conceded that export control laws didn’t actually mandate such restrictions on hiring. This admission throws the initial basis of the lawsuit into considerable doubt, leaving many to wonder about the motivations behind the original complaint and its subsequent dismissal.… Continue reading
