The DA did not do his job here. He should step aside and let someone else oversee this investigation so we can all have confidence it’s being done fairly. @cnn.com

The DA failed everyone here because he didnt do his job, in my view as former DA. He should step aside and allow someone else to do a full and fair investigation so everyone can have faith in it. My thoughts for @msnowreports.bsky.social www.ms.now/opinion/corn...

The far-left tells on itself when progressive Jews like @bradlander.bsky.social & @scottwiener.bsky.social are harassed and attacked like this. It has nothing to do with Israeli policy — and everything to do with pathological anti-Zionism morphing into antisemitism. It harms Jews AND Palestinians.

John O’Malley represented the best of law enforcement. He made us better prosecutors and better people. I got to see him just before he died and he was still telling legendary stories about his cases and the people he helped. A true legend. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/n...

John O’Malley, Bronx Detective and Federal Investigator, Dies at 73
As a detective with the N.Y.P.D., he helped prosecute violent crimes under federal law. At the U.S. attorney’s office, he was involved in high-profile exonerations.

Cassidy claims Blanche can pushback against the “worst impulses” of Trump. So what? Either he hasn’t exercised that superpower or he’s disagreed with Trump on a lot of really awful things that Trump is still making him do and he isn’t resigning or speaking up as any ethical prosecutor would.

A judge appointed by Trump has the courage to say that the administration is lying about Jan 6. He disagrees with dismissing cases against violent proud boys. Blanche on the other hand seems just fine with it since it’s his DOJ now. Senators must choose. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/u...

A weak endorsement & major gaslighting. The idea that Blanche will push back on Trump is laughable. He’s declared his love, loyalty & blessed Trump picking foes to prosecute. If Barr agrees that AG should pushback (as it seems) the whole premise here is false. www.wsj.com/opinion/conf...
