Trump’s Beef Gamble Isn’t Paying Off

Donald Trump gambled that importing more beef would lower prices enough to mitigate the political hit from angry ranchers.
His bet hasn’t paid off.
Prices have barely budged, ranchers remain incensed, and vulnerable Republicans in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Texas are fighting to convince rural voters to turn out in November as farmers confront economic headwinds fueled by the president’s policies.

Trump Asks Justices to Revive Lawsuit Against Clinton

President Donald Trump urged the Supreme Court on Friday to wade into his years long legal battle with former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and ex-Justice Department officials over the 2016 election, appealing a case that a lower court concluded was ‘frivolous.’
Trump filed the lawsuit in 2022 against Clinton, the Democratic National Committee and dozens of other people and entities he said conspired to undermine his 2016 campaign by falsely tying him to Russia.

I almost want SCOTUS to agree to this. Discovery would be glorious.
