Deep dives
Merrick Garland grilled over two-tiered system of justice
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Attorney General Merrick Garland faced tough questioning from Republicans who accused the Biden administration of a two-tiered system of justice. The GOP focused on U.S. Attorney David Weiss allowing the statute of limitations to expire on tax cases involving Hunter Biden and the influence peddling allegations against the Bidens. Garland refused to provide specific answers and repeatedly deferred to Weiss. The committee also discussed Weiss's authority to bring cases outside of Delaware, with Garland claiming that Weiss had that authority, but only if he explicitly asked for it.
Ukrainian President Zelensky seeks international support against Russia
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the UN General Assembly and called for greater action against Russia. He criticized the UN for lack of support, citing Russia's veto power on any resolutions due to its permanent membership in the Security Council. Zelensky also tied the war in Ukraine to global efforts against climate change, arguing that extreme weather could be weaponized by aggressive states. During his visit to Washington, Zelensky met with members of Congress to discuss ongoing support for Ukraine, highlighting the growing opposition to continued aid among some lawmakers.

The Governor's office has not directly responded to the $1.4 million donation from the developer behind Colony Ridge, but emphasized that the potential wrongdoing is unacceptable and highlighted actions already taken by the state.
