So on caucus night, I stayed in my hotel room watching TV and munching on Cheez-Its, flipping between wins and losses in Hollywood and Iowa. There wasn’t any custom Louis Vuitton on display in the frozen tundra of Iowa, but there were some parallels — beyond the abysmal turnout for both shows. The Emmys did a tribute to “The Sopranos” and James Gandolfini.

It was also a rare moment for Ms. Haley on the trail. Ms. Haley, 51, the former governor of South Carolina and a United Nations ambassador under Mr. Trump, has run a tightly controlled campaign. Several wondered whether the decision came after the wave of negative press Ms. Haley received in December when a voter asked her to explain the causes of the Civil War and she failed to mention slavery. “Then she was there forever taking pictures with people,” she said of Ms. Haley. But asked whether Mr. Trump would still be qualified to be president if he were convicted, she dodged.

Donald Trump was tough, mean and self-pitying (a nifty combination). And the woman who is now Trump’s chief challenger, Nikki Haley, is one of the toughest politicians in America — by which I mean confrontational, willing to hammer her foes. When you read accounts of her days in South Carolina, her bellicosity fairly ripples off the pages. In a fantastic 2021 profile in Politico Magazine, Tim Alberta quotes a former South Carolina Republican Party chair: “Listen, man. Nikki Haley has a memory.

CNN —A weekend of ferocious political exchanges laid out the tumultuous reality of the 2024 White House campaign less than a year from Election Day. The fight for the GOP nomination is about far more than a horse race between candidates. Time is quickly ebbing for one of his distant Republican rivals to recast the race less than two months before voting begins. No lawyer, White House staffer, campaign adviser, political party or institution has ever been able to curb Trump’s impulses. “We are turning up the heat and brightening the spotlight on exactly what it would look like if he’s allowed back in the White House,” a Biden campaign official told CNN’s Arlette Saenz of Trump.

While shoplifting has seemingly never been a bigger problem than it is now, shoplifting has long captured the public’s attention. Angela Weiss/AFP/Getty ImagesAlthough shoplifting increased in some cities during the first half of the year compared to pre-pandemic levels, there is no clear national rise in shoplifting, according to a new analysis by the Council on Criminal Justice, a nonpartisan criminal justice policy organization. Middle-class women shoplifting in Victorian Britain during the 1800s were the focus of an early panic over shoplifting. Fears spread over middle-class women shoplifting during the early years of department stores.

New York CNN —Donald Trump is asking for a mistrial in his civil fraud case alleging the judge who will decide the case is biased against him. Engoron has already signaled that he will deny the motion, initially advising Trump’s attorney that he shouldn’t file it but then saying he could file it in writing. The judge has defended his communications with his law clerk saying he has an “unfettered right” to discuss legal issues with her and noted that when campaigning, which his clerk was at one point, there are different limits to political donations. Engoron’s gag order prohibits Trump and his attorneys from making any statements about court staff and specifically about communications he has with his law clerk. Donald Trump is now being held accountable for the years of fraud he committed and the incredible ways he lied to enrich himself and his family.

But far from dominant, the Democratic Party seems disconnected from the priorities, needs and values of many Americans. In a development that has baffled Democrats, a greater share of those groups voted for Republican candidates in recent elections.
