Mayor Adams, a Democrat who has shown a willingness to cooperate with Trump’s administration on the deportation of illegal immigrants, has now become the target of his own party’s wrath. This comes after the Department of Justice, under Trump’s influence, decided to drop corruption charges against Adams....

New leadership and new rules are too much for sanctimonious DOJ employees, who resign rather than follow orders to depoliticize the department. Emil Bove, in his typical fashion, was having none of it. In a scathing nine-page letter, the acting deputy attorney general detailed a long list of insubordination and politicking by Danielle Sassoon, the temporary U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, related to her refusal to drop the federal case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams as instructed. Last September, the then-U.S. Attorney for SDNY handed down a five-count indictment against the Democratic mayor, a...

Whew! That was a close call: another Drudge Headline (“America’s Horse”) that gave me heart palpitations. Fortunately they were talking about California Chrome. "He loves people," Coburn said of his colt. "He loves what he does, and that's why he's America's horse.

Famed hair stylist and fashion icon Vidal Sassoon was found dead at his Mulholland Drive home, authorities said. Law enforcement sources said Sassoon, 84, died after an unspecified illness and that family were by his side. No details further details were immediately available. Sassoon, hugely influential in the hair care and fashion worlds, was the subject of a 2010 documentary.

Sassoon died Wednesday at age 84 at his home on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles, police spokesman Kevin Maiberger said. Officers...
