NEW CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 29, 2025 / A seminal case questioning the accuracy of the 2024 Presidential and Senate election results in Rockland County, New York, is moving forward. In open court last Thursday, Judge Rachel Tanguay of the New York Supreme Court, ruled that discovery must proceed, pushing the lawsuit brought by SMART Legislation into the evidence-gathering stage. The lawsuit seeks a full hand recount of the Presidential and U.S. Senate races in Rockland County.

SMART Legislation, the action arm of SMART Elections, is the lead plaintiff in the case. Both organizations are dedicated to ensuring fair and accurate elections.

There were quite a lot of what Donald Trump might describe as “bad things” taking place in Washington over the past week, to include the worsening of relations with China shortly after what appeared to be an agreement had been reached over tariffs; the arrival at an apparent impasse in negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program; and friction with Prime Minist

Edward R, Murrow

On June 7, 2025, CNN will broadcast—on tape, from a live performance direct from Broadway--George Clooney’s homage to Edward R. Murrow, Good Night, and Good Luck, which is welcome news for audiences who are not able, or willing, to fork over the $900 plus fees for a decent orchestra seat to the stage version of Clooney’s 2005 docu-drama Good Night, and Good Luck.

For American progressives wallowing in a deep Trump funk, the callback to the integrity of Murrow and his gutsy take-down of Sen. Joseph McCarthy on the pioneering news magazine See It Now may offer hope that journalism can repeat its treasured origin story. The legend is imprinted in the famous illustration by Ben Shahn, Edward R. Murrow Slaying the Dragon of McCarthy, a depiction of the noble paladin killing the beast who threatened the realm. In the Clooney iteration, no one needs a playbill to read McCarthy as a stand-in for Donald Trump, but Murrow has no obvious successor ready to suit up in the new media ecosystem. Morrow and his like have gone the way of vacuum tubes and rabbit ears.
