Seems crazy! But just logical. If a President cannot commit a crime in the course of an official act, like giving an order to the military, how can you prosecute the person who follows the order? There’s a whole code of military conduct about “illegal orders.” All orders are legal now.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court just ruled that the president can sleep outdoors in a public space.

Biggest campaign story ever: using a private email server that could hold top secrets but doesn’t and could be breached but wasn’t. Tiny story: stealing top secrets. Hiding them in a bathroom. Taking them to NJ. Showing them to foreigners. Meeting with foreign governments.

this one time, at a judiciary committee meeting, we were going to establish ethics rules (literally all judges already have ethics guidelines but scotus for some reason), to fix that scotus mess ...but instead took the bribes

Worth noting Carnegie did this when faced with massive strikes and growing radical movements around the country. 1886 was the same year as Haymarket. His business partner/enforcer was literally shot by an anarchist. Public libraries are great but he and his ilk funded them because they were scared.

TIL Andrew Carnegie believed that public libraries were the key to self-improvement for ordinary folk. In the years between 1886 & 1917, Carnegie financed the construction of 2811 public libraries. Ironically this is the same reason rich people are now trying to defund libraries. Knowledge is power

lolololol obviously it was intended to influence testimony if it all happened after they knew it was going to trial the trial was about exactly the same thing!!

NEW: Multiple Trump Witnesses Have Received Significant Financial Benefits From His Businesses, Campaign Witnesses in the various criminal cases against the former president have gotten pay raises, new jobs and more. If any benefits were intended to influence testimony, that could be a crime.

The state of Florida prevented cities from lighting up their bridges in rainbow colors for Pride month. So people did it themselves anyway.

Florida won't light bridges in rainbow colors. So Jacksonville's LGBTQ community did.www.jacksonville.com After the state said its bridges will be lit red, white and blue all summer, LGBTQ supporters used rainbow-colored flashlights on Main Street bridge.
