    Trump adviser Giuliani asks judge to throw out $1.3 billion lawsuit over his 'big lie' election claims

    Donald Trump's former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani asked a judge on Wednesday to throw out a voting machine company's $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit relating to his false claims about the November 2020 presidential election being rigged. Giuliani's lawyer said in a court filing that Dominion Voting Systems' lawsuit should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, and because the company has not adequately justified its request for money damages. The filing said Giuliani denies defaming Dominion, adding that the former New York City mayor would present a more forceful defense on the merits if his jurisdictional arguments are rejected by the federal judge in the District of Columbia who is assigned to the case.

    At 75, Diane Keaton proves that ageless style really does exist

    Diane Keaton: Lockdown style iconoclast? Last week, images of the Academy Award winner wearing an oversized white button-down shirt, snakeskin-look thigh-high stiletto boots and a long silver wig went viral. That look was a costume, worn by Keaton in character on the set of Mack & Rita. Apparently it’s a Freaky Friday-ish film in which a 30-year-old woman named Mackenzie is magically transformed into Keaton’s 65-year-old Rita. The outfit drew attention for its audacity (snakeskin stiletto boots? in a pandemic??) as much as for the woman wearing it (those legs!). But for Keaton, 75, the look was just the latest entry in a life filled with epic outfits. She’s one of the few women who have managed to maintain and evolve a consistent style for decades. As a result, over her more than forty years in the public eye, Keaton’s all-time most stylish character has been herself. The Diane Keaton look comes down to monochromatic menswear-inspired tailoring, directional trousers, lampshade skirts, chunky boots – and hats galore. In 2019, she started posting selfies to her Instagram feed, accompanied by all-caps captions lauding the near-magical powers of specific clothing items.

    Gallup: Democrats now outnumber Republicans by 9 percentage points, thanks to independents

    "I think what we have to do as a party is battle the damage to the Democratic brand," Democratic National Committee Chairman Jamie Harrison said on The Daily Beast's latest New Abnormal podcast. Gallup reported Wednesday that, at least relatively speaking, the Democratic brand is doing pretty good. In the first quarter of 2021, 49 percent of U.S. adults identified as Democrats or independents with Democratic leanings, versus 40 percent for Republicans and GOP leaders, Gallup said. "The 9-percentage-point Democratic advantage is the largest Gallup has measured since the fourth quarter of 2012. In recent years, Democratic advantages have typically been between 4 and 6 percentage points." New Gallup polling finds that in the first quarter of 2021, an average of 49% of Americans identify with/lean toward the Democratic Party, versus 40 percent for Republicans. That's the largest gap since 2012:https://t.co/YpUvqBKxLx pic.twitter.com/JrNXQvisbv — Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) April 7, 2021 When Gallup stripped out the independents, 30 percent of U.S. adults identified as Democrats, 25 percent as Republicans, and 11 percent were independents with no partisan leanings. The rise in the number of independents, to 44 percent from 38 percent in the previous quarter, "correlates with the decline in Republican Party identification, just as in 2013, when the GOP saw a drop in the popularity during the government shutdown over the Affordable Care Act," Gallup says. Democratic affiliation has hovered around 30 percent for most of the past eight years. Party identification, polled on every Gallup survey, is "something that we think is important to track to give a sense to the relevant strength of the two parties at any one point in time and how party preferences are responding to events," Gallup senior editor Jeff Jones told USA Today. Republicans recovered from their 2013 deficit "to make gains in the 2014 midterm elections and are hoping to duplicate that feat in 2022," Gallup notes. "Like in 2014, their hopes may rest largely on the popularity level of the incumbent Democratic president." Gallup currently has President Biden's approval rating at 54 percent.
