Sigh.

Via Sahil Kapur:

🚨 Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, calls on Biden to WITHDRAW from the 2024 election. "Too much is at stake to risk a Trump victory," he says. "President Biden saved our democracy by delivering us from Trump in 2020. He must not deliver us to Trump in 2024."

Has Lloyd considered that too much is at stake for him to be running his mouth in this highly unproductive way? GOP and Putin send their thanks.

Well, the radical right-wing conservatives on this court have thought nothing of overturning precedent, so there's no reason that sometime in the future (however far into the future that may be, admittedly) another court can't overturn this ruling.

The second and FINAL #SCOTUS opinion today: Snyder v. US. Written by Justice Kavanaugh. The vote is 6-3. Jackson dissents, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan.

Geidner:

The final SCOTUS decision today is Snyder v. US. Kavanaugh has the court's 6-3 decision on ideological grounds, holding that the Section 666 bribery statute does not apply to "gratuities" given for public officials' past acts. Jackson writes the liberals' dissent.

Thank god for Justice Jackson. Her writings always make me feel like: yes I am sane, it's not me it's those 6 other justices.

Judge #Cannon gave #Trump’s prosecutors a rough reception at today’s hearing on the special counsel’s funding, even doing an on-the-spot line item review of their recent disclosures.

#JackSmith was on hand in court to watch it.

Court is in recess. More soon.

And just like that, Lara Trump has become the second most embarrassing #RNC leader.

So, Marge says she told Biden, “Say her name, Lincoln Riley.” So Biden does that & gets ridiculed by Greene & MAGA for supposedly mispronouncing it. He pronounced it exactly the way Marge says she told him to in this clip.

While criticizing Biden for mispronouncing Laken Riley’s name, MTG makes the same mistake and calls her Lincoln Riley

Excuse me. I was being facetious. My point was about how the press handles Trump differently than Biden.

It's okay. And I agree, it is often very hard to pick up on tone.

Ken Paxton, aided by his arch-conservative allies, targeted 3 GOP judges on #Texas' Court of Criminal Appeals, one of TX's two high courts. Why? They voted to restrict his ability to prosecute elections a couple of years ago.

All three incumbents lost in yesterday's GOP primary.

Forgot the #WompWomp !

🤭👉🏼 “#Trump offered NY appeals court a bond of only $100 mil to pause the more than $450 million penalty he faces in his civil fraud case, a clear sign that the former president lacks the $ to cover the full amount.

..also asked to pause enforcement of finan penalty & wide range of other punishments the judge levied.” #legal
