Sky York Journal A federal judge in Nashville has dismissed the criminal case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, ruling that he was the victim of vindictive prosecution by the Trump Justice Department. The indictment of Abrego Garcia was a reprisal for him having prevailed in his civil case against the government for wrongfully deporting him to El Salvador, U.S. District Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw, Jr. ruled: The objective evidence here shows that, absent Abrego’s successful lawsuit challenging his removal to El Salvador, the Government would not have brought this prosecution. The Executive Branch closed its investigation on the November 2022 traffic…

Sky York Journal Dennis Dahmer was 12 years old in January 1966 when Klansmen stormed his family home and set it on fire, murdering his father, Vernon. He still remembers the shootout; he remembers watching his father die from smoke inhalation. The trauma lingers to this day, 60 years later.  Vernon Dahmer had been a fixture in the African American community near Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He ran a successful local grocery, and, after the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965, obtained the right to register voters and collect poll taxes, which were still in effect, at his store. Members of…

Sky York Journal Choking on the blistering injustice of the Callais decision, even normie Democrats are starting to make noise about drastically remaking the Supreme Court.  Both former Vice President Kamala Harris and Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) have come out in support of court expansion in recent weeks, the reform that has come to shorthand a willingness to fundamentally change the institution. That two 2028 presidential hopefuls have come onside suggests a calculation that changing the Court will be a litmus test for the future nominee.  Even a Republican, retiring Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), made overtures to House Judiciary Ranking…

Sky York Journal Last month, the DOJ left officials across the state of Michigan in a state of bewilderment.  Civil Division chief Harmeet Dhillon demanded the clerk of Wayne County, where Detroit is located, provide records from the 2024 election, saying the DOJ intended to investigate supposed fraud from that election in the state.  The reason for the letter didn’t surprise local and state officials. This is Trump II, after all: the FBI has executed search warrants at the Fulton County, Georgia elections hub and has obtained the results of a crackpot Arizona audit into the 2020 election results in…

Sky York Journal The winner of Georgia’s GOP Senate primary will be decided in a June 16 runoff after no single candidate received a majority of votes cast in Tuesday’s primary. MAGA election denier Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) will face off against football coach Derek Dooley, who has repeatedly stopped short of saying the 2020 election was stolen and privately admitted Trump lost that election in audio leaked earlier this year. Tuesdays results are only a half-win for the dominant, hardline sect of the GOP, as their other self-professed MAGA warrior Rep. Earl “Buddy” Carter came in third place. Republicans…

Sky York Journal Minnesota state prosecutors charged a second ICE agent on Monday with assault over incidents that took place during the Trump administration’s winter occupation of the city. Prosecutors brought four counts of second degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime against Christian Castro, who allegedly shot a man of Venezuelan origin. The man, who had legal status to be in the United States, told law enforcement that he had helped a housemate escape an ICE officer and was inside his home at the time that Castro allegedly shot him. The charges set up what’s likely…

Sky York Journal The Republican primary race for Sen. Bill Cassidy’s (R-LA) Senate seat is headed to a runoff next month. But Cassidy won’t be a part of it. The two-term senator went down in defeat Saturday to two MAGA challengers, Rep. Julie Letlow (R-LA) and Louisiana state treasurer and former congressman John Fleming. None of the candidates in the competitive three-way race received the majority of the votes needed to avoid a runoff. At the time the AP called the race, just before 11 p.m. ET, Letlow had 44.9 percent of the vote, leading the pack, while Fleming received…

Sky York Journal Amid mounting pressure from President Trump, Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis commuted the sentence of Tina Peters on Friday. Peters is the former elections administrator of Mesa County, Colorado who went rogue and was convicted for breaching her office’s own voting equipment in her quest to find non-existent evidence of election fraud in the 2020 election. Back in 2021, Peters, who has become a close ally of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, granted an unauthorized individual access to the county’s voting equipment as a way to somehow prove that President Donald Trump won the 2020 election. The data…

Sky York Journal The Supreme Court will keep mifepristone available as usual, it ruled in a Thursday order, blocking a 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that would reimpose in-person dispensing requirements and prevent the drug from being mailed. The majority was unsigned. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas wrote separate dissents. Thomas staked his dissent on the Comstock Act, a 19th century anti-obscenity law the anti-abortion movement has seized upon as it attempts to ban the mailing of mifepristone nationwide.  “Applicants are not entitled to a stay of an adverse court order based on lost profits from their criminal…

Sky York Journal Black people in America did worse economically in 2025 than at any time since the Federal Reserve began its financial wellbeing survey in 2013, according to some measures published Wednesday. More notable than the depressed financial situation of Black respondents is the gap between Black people and, in some cases, every other racial and ethnic group recorded. The Federal Reserve’s report, Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households in 2025, is the latest data set revealing the ways and extent Black Americans suffered tangible economic harm under the first year of President Donald Trump’s second presidential term, wherein the…
