Finally a #WompWomp in this case.

Via Katie Phang:

JUST IN: Judge #Cannon entering an Order denying #Trump's motion for a Franks hearing, but reserving ruling on the balance of his "Motion for Relief Relating to the Mar-a-lago Raid and Unlawful Piercing of Attorney-Client Privilege."

Cannon finds that Trump has not made the requisite showing that the search warrant affidavit contains "any material false statements or omissions." As such, he doesn't get a Franks hearing. #legal

Hrs b4 meeting w/his #ProbationOfficer about his #felony #convictions, a leading candidate for #POTUS went on a bizarre rant about #sharks.

Sharks, #Trump claimed, were attacking more than usual (not true) & posed a new risk bc boats were being required to use batteries (not true), which cause them to sink bc they’re too heavy (really, really not true—the world’s heaviest cruise ship, Icon of the Seas, stays afloat bc of laws of #physics despite weighing >550M lbs).

20 Republican attorneys general are demanding that the Supreme Court block individual states like California from suing Big Oil for their climate impacts.

Funny how conservatives only believe in "states rights" for certain issues.

The number of workplace strikes in America hit a 23-year high last year.

The number of workers on strike jumped nearly 300% from 2022.

It’s a historic moment for the labor movement.

Workers are done letting billionaires and corporations hoard all the wealth and power.

The bare minimum we should have learned from a devastating pandemic that has killed and disabled millions is that we should stay home when we are sick. Yet, governments beholden to corporate interests are determined to make sure we don't even do that.
