![]() ![]() While the arraignment was routine, the case is now poised to linger over Trump’s 2024 candidacy as he fights the charges both in court and in public. Trump surrendered and was placed under arrest Tuesday before he was arraigned in a historic and unprecedented court appearance, in which the former president heard the charges against him for the first time.

The result is that another grim and even tragic chapter may lie ahead for a country that is still far from working through the fallout from Trump’s single term as it girds for yet another bitter election.įormer President Donald Trump arrives for his arraignment at the Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday. The other was that Trump would respond with such fury and incitement that he would rip even deeper divides in a nation estranged by his aberrant presidency and stoke new turmoil that could further damage vital political and judicial institutions.īoth of those worst-of-all-worlds scenarios came true on a day that Trump described as “SURREAL” in a social media post sent as he motorcaded to court to turn himself in. The first was that while Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case might cite solid evidence of alleged wrongdoing by Donald Trump, his legal theory might prove too vague, complex and seem like too much of a throwback to a 7-year-old election to be an easy sell to the public. There were two big things to fear before Tuesday’s momentous first criminal arraignment of an ex-president of the United States.

According to a recent post on the band’s blog, Eriksson can’t lift his right arm. (At least you can still trudge over to the Wawa around the corner from The Trocadero for a hoagie.) The band is currently dealing with other tour issues, having to cancel two recent gigs due to drummer John Eriksson’s case of rotators-cuff tendinitis. Sadly, Philadelphia is not one of the chosen cities. To promote PB&J’s sixth and latest album, Gimme Some, the band is offering giveaways from food trucks throughout the country.

Broken Social Scene performs with TV On The Radio at 7:30 p.m. Broken Social Scene’s latest album, 2010’s Forgiveness Rock Record, continues the tradition built by previous records: layered songs about heartbreak, this time with a cohesiveness that was missing in earlier releases. The band has had incarnations both as an intimate quartet and as a stage-filling 19-member troupe. Founded and driven by Kevin Drew, Broken Social Scene has at various times included Feist, Amy Millan (of Stars), and Emily Haines and James Shaw (of Metric)-part of an ever shrinking and expanding line-up. Though the members of Broken Social Scene resist the term “super-group,” they’re the closest thing contemporary indie-rock has to a Traveling Wilburys-type meeting of the minds. ![]()
