Intel ranking member JIM HIMES just told me & Erik Wasson “people should not panic, that is unequivocal” after this statement from Intel Chair Turner. “It’s something that the Congress and the administration does need to address in the medium to long run.” (1/2)

Seems like the Turner statement was designed to induce panic.

In Trump's criminal cases, he's on pretrial release from custody on bond. He has to obey the conditions of the bond-a big difference from the situation in civil cases. The consequences of misbehavior in a criminal case can involve revoking bond & placing a defendant in custody.

Star witness against Fani Willis is falling apart on the stand right after being reminded you have to tell the truth. Can’t remember when Fani Willis told her about dating Wade. Can’t remember what was said. When her atty tried to help with “is it something you talked about

This is Judge Juan Merchan who is overseeing Donald Trump’s hush money, election interference case in New York. Today, he showed us what accountability looks like, not giving into Trump’s lawyer’s attempt to delay the trial one bit. Another responsible & good judge. Thank you.

Just a reminder that Donald Trump, as President of the United States, called the Georgia Secretary of State and demanded that the Sec of State find him “11,780 votes.” In his own words, Trump is on tape demanding that. That’s a criminal act & a gross abuse of power. No matter

“You’re confused,” Willis maintains. She says she is not on trial; “these people,” indicating the defendants, are on trial for trying to steal an election. Jaws just dropped around me.

NY AG Letitia James asked for a $370M judgment against trump. Judge Engoron awarded $355M. Take a bow, Ms. James. 💪

Let's take a moment to thank NY AG Letitia James. She fought hard for this case, stuck to the facts, never backed down against Trump's attacks, & achieved accountability & justice. Never, ever mess with strong, smart Black women. Thank you, AG Letitia James. A hero.

As Andrew Weissmann (weissmann11 on Threads/Insta)🌻 just remarked, Judge Engoron's judgment proclaims Trump can't run his own long-time business for 3 yrs, can't even sign a check for the company he created, that has his name on it--yet, he's heading a campaign to run USA. Decades of fraud have come home to roost.

If you're THRILLED that the total judgement against trump and his adult spawn totals $364 million as part of the "you're not above the law" tour, I suggest you follow us at Really American 🇺🇸 where we are encouraged to see signs that even trump can be held accountable.

Not gonna lie, it feels extra special that NY AG Letitia James, a Black woman, played a part in taking him down a peg. This judgement will HURT him, it's a major amount of money. I think of all the Black women he's disrespected over the years, and I can't stop smiling.
