“Nobody seems to have language to say: We abhor, reject, repudiate, and punish all political violence, even as we maintain that Trump remains himself a promoter of such violence, a subverter of American institutions, and the very opposite of everything decent and patriotic.“ #giftarticle

Trump’ house was full of stolen classified documents, and when asked he repeatedly said Yes I stole them and I’d do it again

Arrogating decisions to yourself whenever your evening dose of Fox News convinces you that Trump needs protecting isn’t “statesmanship;” it’s being functionally pro-Trump.

Me: "Mr President, I'd like to give you a bribe and commit some treason together." President: "Hold on, lets move this conversation to the Oval Office and bring in some White House aids so we are sure all this gets immunity."
My first read: If a president commits crimes unrelated to him being the most powerful person in the world, he can be prosecuted. But if explicitly uses his powers to commit crimes, he is at least presumptively, and probably absolutely immune from prosecution. I mean, holy shit.

Roberts once again showing his perspicacity by claiming there’s nothing to fear from a President with virtually unbounded extralegal authority the same day Trump threatens military show trials for his political opponents.

"Republicans can smear Hunter Biden as a screwup who traded on his father’s name and condemn the president as too loving and indulgent, but these talking points should be seen for what they are: a distraction from Trump’s egregious, unprecedented corruption."
Don't be gaslit: Trump's corruption is unparalleledwww.publicnotice.co His egregious self-dealing is disqualifying no matter how much Republicans yell about Hunter Biden.

Today's Fauci hearing is a reminder of something that's easy to forget now -- 4 years ago, covid dominated public life here in the US. It's easy to take for granted how skillfully Biden oversaw the vaccine rollout & got the economy back up & running. But it's a defining success of his first term.

The Netflix adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley is brilliantly shot in black and white. It's a meticulously built piece of filmmaking and looking at it shot by shot is a profound pleasure.

"Instructing jurors they are obliged to take Trump at his word that stolen documents are personal records is functionally an instruction to acquit. And by the time Judge Cannon says this in open court, there will be no way to appeal or to retry the case." -- @lizdye.bsky.social
Judge Cannon's ticking time bomb jury instructionswww.publicnotice.co She's got a lot of ways to blow up this case, and appears to be trying this one on for size.

Katie Britt posturing as a cash-strapped middle-class mom who stays up nights worrying about inflation when she's actually a lawyer and former CEO, married to a lobbyist who is a former NFL player, is the GOP's anti-elitism in a nutshell.

The corporate tax cuts that Donald Trump signed into law in 2017 show modest gains for workers and high cost to the federal debt, a detailed study found. The tax cuts came nowhere close to paying for themselves, as conservatives insisted they would.
