Dean Blundell, Lev Parnas, and Zev Shalev examine two breaking stories that expose Trump’s authoritarian playbook in action: New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted on federal bank fraud charges just weeks after Trump publicly demanded her arrest—the second major Trump critic facing federal prosecution in two weeks.
Meanwhile, the White House issued a sharp rebuke of the Nobel Committee after Trump was passed over for the 2025 Peace Prize, claiming the committee “places politics over peace.” The parallel reveals Trump’s governing doctrine: institutions that reject him are corrupt; institutions he controls become weapons against his enemies. James faces her first court appearance October 24 in Norfolk, Virginia, while the Nobel Peace Prize went to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado for her fight against authoritarianism.
