Question for NY lawyers: Is there any procedure under which Justice Merchan can assign the contempt sanctions decision to another judge in the NY County Sup Ct? I think he’s between a rock and a hard place, having to enforce his own order in so politically charged situation.

Four years ago today, Trump tweeted calling on his supporters to “LIBERATE” states with Democratic governors.

His supporters showed up to the Michigan Capitol building with assault weapons, Confederate flags, and swastikas

I’m not sure that I agree, but it bears considering.

Listening to the concessions made by Trump’s lawyer to Justice Barrett (audio clip) makes clear that the “immunity” strategy has been intended all along to delay the trial, not to dismiss the indictment. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

I’m not surprised by this post. Barr wasn’t sufficiently loyal and therefore he must be humiliated, even when he returns to the fold. It’s part of DJT’s mafia boss persona. He’s said that Godfather Ii is one of his favorite movies and this scene is apt: youtu.be/64-PGJpKQZg?si…

'If this package had come in October, as originally proposed, far fewer Ukainians would be dead, far fewer Russians would probably be dead. The Ukainians would have been able to hold their lines and take a breather over the winter.' Speaker Mike Johnson youtu.be/rR_7RVCWkJ0?si…

Trump Posts From His Truth Social This is the actual story republicans are going with: Trump built the wall and gave us world peace and then Democrats and China (Trump’s pal Xi) made up a phony virus that doesn’t make you sick—and trump caught it and made a beautiful vaccine that kills you and he saved us—before…

Congratulations to Speaker Mike Johnson and the 155 members of your caucus for putting aside pressure from an extreme faction to place country first. I hope you will continue to support bipartisan coalition building to get the business of Congress accomplished.

To those who still adhere to the “Russia hoax” narrative, read the factual recitation in the D.C. Circuit’s ruling. It perhaps didn’t reach the Oval Office, but Russia definitely interfered in the 2016 election. cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opini…

Trump did not attend the Supreme Court argument over his access to the ballot in the Presidential election. So it does seem an insincere ploy to make a last minute request to Justice Merchan to be absent for the oral arguments on Presidential immunity. politico.com/live-updates/2…

One overlooked aspect in reports on Trump’s upcoming state trial, when commentators call Michael Cohen a weak witness because of his criminal convictions, is that they mainly stem from doing Trump’s bidding. I hope the prosecution makes this clear from opening statement onwards.

1. The criminal trial that begins April 15 has a theme almost nobody has yet fully appreciated. It’s the through line of illegally manipulating elections by distorting the information on the basis of which those elections are decided.

It’s so infuriating Republican voters don’t see this.

Julie Jones Stephen Richer—MaricopaCountyRecorder (prsnl acct) Trump and the Maga GOP have used military grade psychological warfare on the American people. Those who were religious or prone to believe conspiracy theories were more susceptible to it's influence. I'm sorry, but a life long criminal conned you.

In case there’s any doubt that the MAGA flock is animated by White grievance bigotry…
