Former Republican Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has lost her defamation suit retrial against the New York Times.

The federal jury ruled after just two hours of deliberation on Tuesday that the New York Times was not guilty of libel when it falsely linked her to a 2011 mass shooting in an editorial it published in 2017. Per Axios:

Throughout this trial and the original 2022 trial, the Times asserted that the inaccurate link made in the editorial was a mistake.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg upped his feud with President Trump on Wednesday by finding probable cause to hold his administration in contempt of court for continuing to carry out deportations to El Salvador despite the judge’s orders to turn around planes.

Elections are so much easier if your opponent can’t run.

This is apparently an insight so obvious and universal that it’s now played a big role in both U.S. and French presidential politics.

The French justice system chose courage over surrender. The law was clear, and so was the court in its sentencing: no special treatment for Marine Le Pen, no deference to the powerful, no using a candidacy for office as an excuse to break the law with impunity.
