Opinion | How the Tompkins County DA set itself up for failure in the Cornell rape case
It appears the Tompkins County district attorney’s office failed to properly follow up with standard practices for cases involving sexual assault allegations when the initial complaint was made in 202...

The DA did not do his job here. He should step aside and let someone else oversee this investigation so we can all have confidence it’s being done fairly. @cnn.com
"We must continue to advocate to change outdated investigative practices and preconceptions about rape around the country, modernize our criminal laws and give everyone involved — victims and potential defendants alike — the process they are due." Via the brilliant @mimirocah1.bsky.social.

The DA failed everyone here because he didnt do his job, in my view as former DA. He should step aside and allow someone else to do a full and fair investigation so everyone can have faith in it. My thoughts for @msnowreports.bsky.social www.ms.now/opinion/corn...

Mimi is doing yeoman's work standing up DOJ values and heroes who refuse to buckle to pressure. Her forthcoming book goes on sale in January but you can and should preorder now!

This should be both a brutal and honest account and an uplifting story about the heroic folks standing tall in the face of injustice.

The far-left tells on itself when progressive Jews like @bradlander.bsky.social & @scottwiener.bsky.social are harassed and attacked like this. It has nothing to do with Israeli policy — and everything to do with pathological anti-Zionism morphing into antisemitism. It harms Jews AND Palestinians.

John O’Malley represented the best of law enforcement. He made us better prosecutors and better people. I got to see him just before he died and he was still telling legendary stories about his cases and the people he helped. A true legend. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/n...
John O’Malley, Bronx Detective and Federal Investigator, Dies at 73
As a detective with the N.Y.P.D., he helped prosecute violent crimes under federal law. At the U.S. attorney’s office, he was involved in high-profile exonerations.

Cassidy claims Blanche can pushback against the “worst impulses” of Trump. So what? Either he hasn’t exercised that superpower or he’s disagreed with Trump on a lot of really awful things that Trump is still making him do and he isn’t resigning or speaking up as any ethical prosecutor would.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2mo agoSen. Bill Cassidy: "I will vote for Mr. Blanche. I'll be criticized for this vote — what's new?"

They still can be reached at the Capitol switchboard to vent your spleen on how corrupt this and every gop is. Don't forget to ask specifically if McConnell is dead too
Mimi Rocah@mimirocah1.bsky.social · 2mo agoNote to all elected officials but especially Senators Cornyn and Tillis: stop pretending to care about things/principles you don’t actually care about. You are fooling no one and you just look pathetic.

11th Hour with Ali Velshi@11thhourmsnow.bsky.social · 2mo agoTrump says he may withdraw Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General to past the midterms, betting Republicans keep the Senate while Cornyn and Tillis depart. Mimi Rocah says Trump is going to bat for Blanche because "he found his Roy Cohn," referring to Trump's former lawyer and fixer.
Always great to join my friend and old boss @preetbharara.bsky.social (and @joycevance.bsky.social !) even if it’s to talk about not good things coming out of our old office (no doubt because of washington). You have to call it like it is no matter who it is and no matter how hard it is.

Peter Carr’s Senate testimony today laid out the danger of Todd Blanche’s firings of career public servants: they corrode independent law enforcement and put politics ahead of the facts and the law.
