Thoughts re upcoming SCOTUS immunity arguments. there is no such thing as total immunity. If there was, Nixon wld not have needed a pardon. And, even if there is partial immunity for official presidential acts, Trump’s conduct here is not within its scope.

"In a stinging dissent, Judge Madeline Singas wrote that the majority was “whitewashing the facts to conform to a he-said/she-said narrative,” and said the Court of Appeals was continuing a “disturbing trend of overturning juries’ guilty verdicts in cases involving sexual violence.”"

🤬This is stunning. A NY Times journalist says the publication’s chairman AG Sulzberger encourages that the organization cover the President negatively and highlight his age out of retribution for the fact that Biden hasn’t granted the Times an interview.

The fact that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife was one of the organizers of Donald Trump’s armed insurrection should be mentioned every time SCOTUS is in the news, IMHO.

RobPalmerIRL (he/him/his) @RobPalmerIRLThree Questions for those angry about Gaza:02:23 PM - Apr 25, 2024
1. Do you think Trump and the GOP would go for peace?
2. What do you want Biden to do with his limited power?
3. Is American Democracy that much of a bother that you wanna sit out/toss your vote?
Best to answer these questions quickly.

Power protects power:
"In Sulzberger’s view, according to two people familiar with his private comments on the subject, only an interview with a paper like the Times can verify that the 81-year-old Biden is still fit to hold the presidency."

All because A.G. Sulzberger, the NYT's chairman & publisher, is pissed that President Biden won't give the paper an interview. Sulzberger is having a temper tantrum while our democracy is at stake -- and, I'm sure, is FULLY aware of the consequences.

MASSIVE -- Trump used an $8 million slush fund, via a GOP-aligned campaign finance company called Red Curve.
Red Curve is one of the companies that offered Cassidy Hutchinson a job right before she cooperated with investigators.
Is Trump using Red Curve to pay off witnesses?!?

Think your vote doesn’t matter? AZ AG Kris Mayes, who just announced the indictment of fake electors and the WH advisors (including the despicable Rudy Guiliani), won by 280 votes. There’d be no indictment or investigation if Democrat Mayes lost.

We’ve gotta a stop thinking people deserve what they get for doing a crime. No. We take punishment too far! Period. The punishment should end at lost of freedom. Not bad food, bad to zero medical, unhealthy and unsafe environments or lifelong tentacles. This story is criminal.

Florida is charging formerly incarcerated people $50 a day even if they’re no longer in prison. The “pay to stay” fee is based on the length of the original sentence, so even when they're released they must keep paying for a prison bed they’re not using.03:57 PM - Apr 24, 2024

Nothing matters more than stopping Trump this November. Every progressive cause, every progressive conviction, every progressive goal you have will fare many, many times worse under Trump. Our definitive purpose right now should be reelecting President Biden.
