Mystal:

Here's a question: Why would any president ever be impeached now? If presidents are absolutely immune from prosecution for "high crimes," then what's the theory of a future impeachment? "The President is allowed to do this, but we don't like it"?

Like, remember when Mitch McConnell argued that they didn't have to convict Trump in the Senate because he remains legally accountable for all he did as President?

That, turns out, was a lie.

@GottaLaff Looks there is no accountability as long you drift to the far right. Nothing else was expected from the majority of the Supreme Court. Unfortunately the destruction of democratic rules goes on full speed.

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

After the Montana Supreme Court struck down four voter suppression laws, prominent state Republicans are going to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider a radical theory that could drastically alter checks and balances and sow chaos into our elections.

@GottaLaff They know even with our electoral collage and gerrymandering is very difficult for them to win. The popular vote -would be a democratic election - fully out of reach. Fascist playbook is the only alternative.

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).

@Nonilex @JudyOlo Certainly. The press covers only what brings money. Trump and soap opera, which is also interchangeable if that would be not so dangerous.

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.

@rbreich Sorry, but this is not enough at all. We are so far away from anything like worker protection.
Not a singe country in Europe would allow a corporation to lay of 10000 employees.
