Almost 73 years ago, my parents were married. Forty-three years ago today, I wore the same dress. My mom is still here. My groom and I are still here. The dress also survives...but The Daughter has plans of turning it into a nice cocktail dress. And we're all fine with that. 💒👰🏼🍸️😀

Adolf Hitler did not operate the gas chambers himself. But he was responsible.

Worth noting:
Some degree of American exceptionalism—“it can’t happen here”—has fallen, but not all
Don’t underestimate the dire, drastic changes that may come w/a DJT presidency
“We’ve survived political disasters before” is irrelevant w/a president w/o loyalty to the Constitution or rule of law

Let me get this straight:
Congress has the authority to set the Supreme Court’s budget and to infinitely expand the high court.
But, according to Justice Alito, Congress cannot require SCOTUS to have a code of ethics like the rest of the federal government.
Does that sound remotely logical?

A meritless delay of MarALago case requested by Trump. We & he deserve a speedy trial. His goal is to delay until after the 2024 election. Hopes he will win and appoint AG who will dismiss the case. DOJ shld fight this delay.

Trump motion for delay is based on politics, not law. It is totally wrong in saying such a trial cannot start in 6 months frim indictment. My team's #Watergate trial started 6 months after indictment, and that included our going to SCOTUS during that time and Nixon resigning.
