This ruling from the California Judge in Eastman v. Thompson in October 2022, should give folks some insight into the prospective indictment of Donald Trump.“The illegality of the plan was obvious,” wrote Judge David O. Carter of the Central District of California. “Our nation was founded on the peaceful transition of power, epitomized by George Washington laying down his sword to make way for democratic elections. Ignoring this history, President Trump vigorously campaigned for the vice president to single-handedly determine the results of the 2020 election.”https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:f1d4859d-2982-3f10-b07a-4b2899b40b64

President Joe Biden has restored so much of our pride, that we felt was lost forever. Thank you Mr. President.

(Did he just say “re-constitutionalize” the government? Really? Hmmm… I wonder what he could possibly mean by that. Could it be just skunking the Constitution altogether, and by centralizing as much power as possible within the executive branch, establishing a dictatorship? Just. Like. Donald. Trump. Listen to what he’s saying, because he’s telling us exactly who he is and exactly what he’ll do.

Senate confirms slate of State Department nominees as Tuberville’s military hold remainsBy Morgan Rimmer, Kristin Wilson and Clare Foran, CNNUpdated 7:08 PM EDT, Fri July 28, 2023(CNN) - The Senate confirmed a slate of high-profile State Department nominees late Thursday night, including ambassadors to Italy, Jordan, Georgia, the United Arab Emirates, Niger, Rwanda and Ethiopia.The confirmations came after Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky told CNN earlier in the evening that he was close to a deal with the State Department to release holds on nominees in exchange for records on the origins of COVID.There was no resolution, however, to an ongoing impasse over military nominations as Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama maintains holds in protest over a Pentagon abortion policy.https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/28/politics/senate-confirms-ambassador-nominees

POLITICSTuberville is showing how much power one lawmaker wields under Senate rulesJuly 15, 20235:00 AM ETRon ElvingIf you follow Senate action, you may have noticed lately how a single lawmaker is using senatorial privileges to bend the will of the chamber to his own.Since February, the senator has been blocking every personnel move in the U.S. military that requires confirmation. Starting with a "senatorial hold" on what was then 150 personnel moves waiting for approval in batches, he is now up to at least 270 — and counting.That lawmaker is Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a Republican from Alabama who has been in the Senate for a little over two years. Tuberville likes to say "there is no one more military than me." And while he has not served in the military himself, he regularly features Alabama service members on his senatorial website.https://www.npr.org/2023/07/15/1187530846/tuberville-senate-rules-abortion-military#:~:text=Since%20February%2C%20the%20senator%20has,at%20least%20270%20%E2%80%94%20and%20counting

ANALYSISGeorgia’s Racial Turnout Gap Grew in 2022Despite high voter turnout in last month’s election, the racial turnout gap was larger than any point in the past decade.Sara Loving Kevin MorrisLAST UPDATED: July 12, 2023PUBLISHED: December 16, 2022As state-by-state turnout data becomes available after the midterms, it’s clear that we remain in a period of high voter participation. Current estimates from the U.S. Elections Project suggest that turnout in the 2022 election was just a few percentage points shy of 2018, when turnout was the highest it had been in any midterm election in the past century.https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/georgias-racial-turnout-gap-grew-2022#:~:text=White%20and%20Nonwhite%20Turnout%20in%20Georgia%20Midterms%2C%202014%E2%80%932022&text=White%20turnout%20was%208.6%20percentage,in%20the%20last%20two%20midterms

Chief Border Patrol Agent Debunks GOP’s Phony Narrative On ImmigrationBy Caleb Newton -September 28, 2023Republicans are probably going to keep claiming it, but the southern border is not and has not recently been just “open” under any reasonable understanding of that concept.Nobody in an actual position of direct authority has revealed any secret directive from the president or a member of his team to just stop enforcing the federal laws that govern...https://bipartisanreport.com/2023/09/28/chief-border-patrol-agent-debunks-gops-phony-narrative-on-immigration/

Except they're not in dispute. They're flat out lies.This lawsuit could disrupt the U.S. tax system. Key facts are in dispute.Supreme Court to hear challenge to new tax on offshore earnings that was part of Donald Trump’s 2017 tax overhaulBy Ann E. Marimow and Julie Zauzmer WeilNovember 27, 2023 at 6:00 a.m. ESTThe fate of an obscure provision of President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax package, which will be reviewed by the Supreme Court next week, has many experts panicked over the potential to destabilize the nation’s tax system. In addition, some say the outcome could preemptively block Congress from creating a wealth tax.But the case has also exposed questions about the accuracy of the personal story a Washington state couple presented to the court in making their constitutional challenge to the tax, a one-time levy on offshore earnings.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/27/supreme-court-tax-case-offshore-earnings/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wp_politics-courts-lawRead PDF version here:https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:us:5887f9d5-f986-468a-ac8b-2c2719719509

'SPOOKY'Mike Johnson Compares Himself to Moses at Christian Nationalist GalaThe House Speaker alleges God directed his path to power through the “roiling sea”BY TIM DICKINSONDECEMBER 6, 2023IN A KEYNOTE speech to a gathering of Christian nationalist lawmakers Tuesday night, House Speaker Mike Johnson compared himself to Moses, leading the GOP conference — and America — through the parted waters of the Red Sea. Johnson addressed the National Association of Christian Lawmakers at the group’s award gala at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. Perhaps unaware that the event was being recorded for the NACL Facebook page, Johnson told the crowd: “I’ll tell you a secret, since media is not here.” (“Thank you for not allowing the media in,” Johnson added, alleging that journalists have been taking his comments “out of context” with “great joy for the last few weeks.”)Johnson then revealed...https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/mike-johnson-moses-christian-nationalist-gala-1234918565/Read PDF version here:https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:us:14ebe89a-9810-4cf3-b304-ee7e7d611881
