During the 2022 midterms, he campaigned for election deniers. The governor’s blunt stance may be a sign that Trump’s legal problems have sent his Republican competitors looking for some way to take advantage. While none of them are openly attacking Trump, they are trying to press on his weaknesses — acknowledging reality and defying the denial espoused by him and many Republicans. In a related development, [Trump’s lawyers in the Jan. 6 case argued against a protective order](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRms_ANP0TraHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wOC8wNy91cy9wb2xpdGljcy90cnVtcC1pbmRpY3RtZW50LXByb3RlY3RpdmUtb3JkZXIuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIzMDgwNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05OTQ5NSZubD10aGUtZXZlbmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTQxMzgzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpkxw1r0WTmhZgoUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) that would limit the former president from publicly discussing the evidence in the case, saying it infringed on his First Amendment rights.

The reason is no secret. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, voters across the country, in multiple elections, have approved ballot measures protecting the right to abortion. A similar election has been scheduled for November in Ohio, and legislators are hoping a higher threshold for passing amendments will lead to the ballot measure’s defeat. Once the quintessential swing state, Ohio is now an exemplar of a nationwide phenomenon: legislatures controlled by one party, almost invariably Republican, changing the rules of the democratic process to extend their control even further.

Some soldiers blamed commanders for the heavy losses, saying they pushed raw recruits into battle. A few complained that some Western vehicles were inappropriate for the mission. Others criticized the inadequacy of a few weeks of basic training in various NATO countries. “They fought in Afghanistan and Iraq,” one battalion commander said of his trainers in the U.S., “and the enemy there is not like the Russians.” Madeline Cuomo in 2009.Ben Gabbe/Patrick McMullan, via Getty Images The secret hand behind Cuomo’s defenders? His sister. After a former aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York sued him last year over sexual harassment claims, groups made up of mostly women came to the governor’s defense. Members swarmed his critics on social media, sold Cuomo swag and pushed for due process.
