Less than One-Third of Americans Trust the Federal Government
Gallup News Americans’ trust in various U.S. federal government institutions remains mired near five-decade lows. Forty-five percent of U.S. adults have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the federal government to handle international problems, and 38% trust the government to handle domestic problems. Trust in the three branches of the federal government ranges from 32% for the legislative branch to 49% for the judicial branch. Two decades ago, all five measures showed trust above the majority level, and as recently as 2012, majorities trusted all but the legislative branch. These trust figures, measured in Gallup’s Sept. 2-16 Governance poll, are statistically similar to what they were a year ago. However, that overall stability masks large partisan shifts. Republican confidence on all five trust items has increased sharply, most dramatically for the executive branch (up 83 percentage points) and the government’s ability to handle international problems (up 64 points) and domestic problems (up 57 points). Meanwhile, Democrats’ trust has tumbled on these same three measures by 56 to 78 points and is also down significantly for the legislative branch. READ THE FULL STORY

Irony Overload: Letitia James Asks Court to Throw Out Her Mortgage Fraud Case as ‘Selective Prosecution’…
Lawyers for New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a motion Friday to dismiss mortgage fraud charges the Trump administration brought against her, ironically arguing the case is a politically motivated prosecution.
“The government targeted AG James for prosecution because of the President’s genuine animus towards her protected campaign speech and fulfillment of her statutory obligations as New York Attorney General,” the motion reads in its first paragraph, continuing: “This indictment is the product of vindictive and selective prosecution, in violation of the Fifth Amendment.”
