He should have done this ~2 years ago, because now undocumented immigrants will not participate because they are worried that the next administration will use it to deport them.

Federal Reserve is expected to leave interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, with new economic projections from the U.S. central bank's policymakers likely to show fewer rate cuts this year than previously anticipated.

“ Court of Appeals temporarily halted proceedings in case while it reviews a trial judge's ruling that allowed Fulton County District Attorney to continue prosecuting the case.

The stay issued by the court applies only to Trump and the eight co-defendants who sought to have Willis and her office removed from the case because of an improper relationship she had with Nathan Wade, who served as a special prosecutor”

Wall Street tycoon Stephen Schwarzman endorsed Trump yesterday.

He joins a growing list of billionaires who once condemned the former president but are now flocking to his campaign.

Never underestimate how quickly billionaires will sell out our democracy for tax cuts.

@rbreich
Given that there is at least one documented instance of trump offering quid pro quo’s for large financial contributions, Schwarzman may be getting more than just tax cuts.

In California, a frequent republican victim story is that CA has “one party rule” (because the voters don’t elect republicans, for the most part).
Ohio seems to be going all in to make this a reality, but on the other side of the aisle.

    I’m being sarcastic, of course.

    It’s not at all surprising that Alito made up a rationalization that didn’t even withstand one day of scrutiny.

    Judge Cannon has postponed Trump's classified documents trial and didn't set a new start date.

    The Supreme Court is slow walking Trump's presidential immunity claim, which has delayed his Jan 6 trial.

    The federal judiciary is effectively acting like a MAGA campaign arm.

    If he can’t stay awake during his felony trial, how are we supposed to trust him to handle a national security crisis?

    Pecker testifies that, following his 2015 meeting w #Trump & Cohen, he met w ex-Nat Enquirer editor-in-chief Dylan Howard

    Pecker outlined the arrangement & described it as "highly private & confidential."

    Pecker asked Howard to notify the tabloid's bureau chiefs that any stories that came in about Trump or 2016 election must be vetted & brought to Pecker.

    Pecker said it needed to stay a secret bc it was being carried out to help Trump's campaign

    I think that the main point is for the lawyers to provide moronic arguments for Fox News and newsmax viewers to cling to, so that he can claim (and they can believe) that the judge treated him unfairly.
    And the “root goal” is that these morons vote for him so he can make all his legal troubles go away
