This weekend, Mike Gills died from injuries after yet another carjacking in Washington, D.C. I have lived in and around D.C. since the 70s. Yet, I admit that I now avoid walking around the city out of concern over the crime...foxnews.com/us/former-trum…
...We often take our older, less expensive car when we drive into the city to avoid being a target. I spoke recently to a businessman who is closing his restaurant because of the crime and lack of support by the city...
...I love D.C. and first came here as a congressional page. It is a beautiful city that should be the safest in the nation. Yet, we have an attorney general who has thrown up his hands and said that we cannot prosecute our way out of crime. foxnews.com/politics/dc-ag…
...The city council and local courts further reduce deterrence in a city that is being ravaged by crime. This should not be a partisan issue. When many of us debate whether we have to drive into the city given the crime, something has to change.

The Judicial Conference has released a new policy that could materially alter the character of the federal courts, allowing judges to comment on what they deem “illegitimate forms of criticism and attacks.” It is not just injudicious, it is dangerous... jonathanturley.org/2026/02/18/rul…
...The added freedom afforded to judges to engage in commentary will do little to change the debate. It may, however, greatly erode the trust in what was once considered “our least dangerous branch.”
...Given increasingly injudicious comments, one would think that Chief Justice John Roberts and the Judicial Conference would seek to tighten, not loosen, the limits on judicial commentary. I am not suggesting that these past statements would be viewed as acceptable under the new rules. However, I fail to understand, in light of such controversial statements, the Conference elected to relax the rules at this time.

The Clintons are again suggesting that they might not agree to a deposition after previously yielding to the threat of a contempt vote. Today, Bill Clinton declared on X that "I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court"...jonathanturley.org/2026/01/14/now…
...Clinton is not being asked to "sit idly by" but to sit for a deposition like other citizens. His posting suggests that he is again opposed to compliance after a bipartisan vote was again delayed by the earlier concession...
...The reason for these depositions is that they can gain greater depth in questioning. This is vintage Clinton in delaying and evading accountability. For decades, they have gamed the system with such tactics...

The decision of the federal court to reject the effort to enjoin the immigration operations means that Attorney General Keith Ellison could not come up with a single cognizable claim of illegality to shoulder this burden...
...Now that a Biden appointee judge has rejected this meritless effort, will Gov. Walz, Attorney General Ellison, and Mayor Frey finally come clean and admit that these operations are lawful? One can disagree with them, but they are solidly within federal law...
...Instead, Ellison has been spreading clearly false information like claiming that the FACE Act only applies to abortion clinics and not places of worship. jonathanturley.org/2026/01/20/thi…

Gov. Walz is again inflaming the mob. He is effectively declaring this to be the murder of a citizen who had a permit to carry this weapon. He is saying that the state not the federal government will control the investigation. He does not have that authority...
...The state can clearly have a parallel investigation and the federal government can do a joint investigation. However, he cannot dictate how or who will conduct the investigation...
...With thousands in the streets, Walz just did all that he could to give them license for their rage. Most of us would never call this a lawful or unlawful shooting based on one videotape...

Frey is again denouncing the officers in the latest shooting before any investigation into the shooting. Gov. Walz preceded him. Frey just said "your children will ask you what side you are on" and "what did you do?" Those words will be taken as a license for escalating these confrontations...
...Many of us have watched this videotape. The view of the hands of the suspect are not clear. We hear the shoot followed by a series of shots. We need to know if the suspect had pulled the gun or the reason for the officers to use lethal force. That would not seem an unreasonable expectation before public condemnations from the governor and the mayor...
...Rachel Sayre, Minneapolis Emergency Management Director, just said that the federal government is terrorizing the city...

Now in control, Virginia Democrats have pursued a radical agenda from a host of new taxes to rent control measures. jonathanturley.org/2026/01/23/wit… Now they are threatening one of the oldest institutions, the Virginia Military Institute, over DEI policies... foxnews.com/us/virginia-de…
...After running as a moderate, Gov. Abigail Spanberger has moved to reverse efforts to moderate Virginia universities, including the appointment of former Gov. Ralph Northam to the VMI board...
...I have spoken at VMI, , which is a unique educational institution that has produced some of our greatest leaders, including Gen. George Marshall. It now appears in the crosshairs of a far-left agenda.jonathanturley.org/2025/10/02/the…
