My fellow Democrats, let's not spend time and energy spouting off about whether we'd like Joe Biden or some other Dem to run for president.
Biden is going to run.
Time to circle the wagons and support Biden without hesitation.

MOST IMPORTANT Trump-related legal news today?
Not the Manhattan DA case.
Nope. DC Circuit DENIED Trump's attempt to delay his top aides from testifying to federal grand jury about January 6.
So Mark Meadows, Stephen Miller, Dan Scavino and others have to testify.

Reflective moment: Was it me or did it seem like the Media (MSNBC, FOX, CNN) OD'd on Trump? I thought the level and type of coverage was unwarranted (watching his plane take off? Really?). At one-point, you couldn't tell which president was in NY (the actual POTUS was in Minnesota for clean energy).

This gifted article SHOULD load but if not... it's more bad news for Trump.
Here's hoping they hit that traitor piece of crap with a gag order.

The GOP’s “poisonous response on behalf of their man rather than our nation predicated on laws sets a dangerous precedent for any subsequent indictments as it sows doubt about judicial legitimacy and pushes an authoritarian narrative.”https://america.substack.c...

I agree with this - these are the stakes. Because there’s a strong religious component, there’s an opportunity here. Opposing Christofacism means choosing a secular civilization. This isn’t anti-religious per se (although it could be), it means strongly asserting the separation of church and state.

Seems pretty apparent that one of his lawyers who will next quit, be fired or disbarred, convinced Indictee No. 1 last night that he was already going to be warned by Judge Marchan on Tuesday, if Bragg doesn't file a Day 1 motion for gag order, that he will be gagged. He hasn't posted in 18 hours.

Florida’s Republican-controlled Legislature passed a bill Thursday to allow people to carry concealed loaded weapons anywhere without permits.

Don’t forget the MAGA noisemakers are a minority. Don’t forget when you hear all the Republicans attacking DA Bragg and defending Trump, even before indictments are unsealed, the majority of Americans disagree.

I wish there weren't political spoilers, but I can make that wish concrete: Ranked-Choice Voting.
Imagine that we used RCV. No more spoiler candidates, ever. Nobody could win who didn't have a majority voting for them at some level.
RCV. Serious game-changer.

Barry Ostrowsky @LVRockClimberExactly why I had an issue with Bernie. The Supreme Court was the 2016 election. Getting rid of Citizens could have been accomplished. Took his eyes off the prize and didn't drop out early enough for Hillary to get elected easily putting an end to CU with her nominations and appointments to SC.12:39 PM - Apr 02, 2023

Hi, @RBReich !
This is true, but (as you know) insufficient. Yes, money is the mechanism for corrupting politics.
But the root cause is an election system that requires impossible levels of spending to get elected.
Citizens United doesn't just allow corruption: it *requires* it.

Republicans during Trump impeachment: “If Trump committed crimes, it should be left to the courts to decide.”
Republicans today: “No, wait, not like that!”
