As President Donald Trump laid it out to reporters this summer, the plan was simple.

After a federal court panel struck down Republicans’ new map in Texas on Tuesday, the entire exercise holds the…

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — Former FBI Director James Comey will make another run Wednesday at getting his criminal case dismissed, with his lawyers looking to convince a judge that the prosecution is vindictive and rooted in President Donald Trump’s hatred of him.The arguments arrive as the Comey case appears freshly imperiled following a judge’s excoriation of the Justice Department on Monday and as multiple challenges to the indictment may result in its dismissal. Comey has pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of making a false statement and obstructing Congress and has denied any wrongdoing. He has contested the legitimacy…

New York City’s incoming mayor, Zohran Mamdani, hasn’t taken office yet. But he’s already the new avatar of evil for conservative media figures.He’s been called “downright sinister” and “incompatible with America.” His labels include commie, Marxist, jihadist sympathizer and “seething leftist.” Fox News’ Laura Ingraham warned her viewers not to be fooled by “smiling socialists who rule like Soviet tyrants.”A New York Post post-election cover that depicted Mamdani holding aloft the Soviet Union’s hammer and sickle symbol sold out on newsstands by noon and was offered on e-Bay for $75.

After stocks fell on Tuesday and the S&P 500 recorded its longest slide since August, CNBC’s Jim Cramer told investors how to make the most of broad market losses.”In a market like this, my favorite move is to buy small something out of favor that’s way down from its highs,” he said. “Ideally something that just reported a stellar quarter and is getting zero credit for it.”Investors can use sessions like Tuesday’s to “pick up stocks of high quality companies that are outside the blast zone of the data center,” Cramer said, adding that he doesn’t think the market-wide decline…
