An appellate court has thrown out the $500 million civil fraud penalty against President Donald Trump in the high-profile case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Scarborough was unimpressed. “Democrats are trying to find their footing, and it’s quite embarrassing, actually,” he said. “Gavin Newsom — have you seen what he’s doing online? Just take a deep breath. Don’t spin the ship around. They don’t know what to do. Here’s an idea: instead of trying to ‘school Donald Trump,’ talk into the camera about affordability. Talk about making groceries like more affordable. Talk about what you’re gonna do for housing. Talk about

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu staged a raucous press conference Tuesday, daring Attorney General Pam Bondi to make good on threats against blue cities over their sanctuary policies. Wu, a Democrat, accused the Trump administration of being a party “that doesn’t follow the law.” “At a time when this federal administration is already causing so much fear and harm in our communities, these threats are serious and consequential,” she said. The warning came after the administration signaled it could sue or strip federal funds from cities that refuse to cooperate on immigration enforcement. Wu noted Bondi demanded all recipients respond by
