I couldn’t find a thread just about this case, and thought we should have one since it’s Trump’s first criminal trial. He has to attend every day, as I understand it. Here is a quick reminder of what it’s about. His former lawyer Michael Cohen already went to prison for his involvement in this case.

I don’t really expect a whole lot of participation in this thread. But after having been repeatedly called an authoritarian by one member here who obviously doesn’t understand the term, I came across this article and thread on the subject. I thought it would be good to offer this thread as an...

I had forgotten that states are doing this. Maine has passed a bill out of their House, which if it becomes law will make 209 electoral votes committed to the winner of the national popular vote.

I think this is pretty fascinating. I follow a couple of guys who are in the business, and able to analyze polls by looking at their cross tabs. Apparently, a poll of young people just released shows Biden only leading Trump by 4 points. But the raw results weren’t that, they collect raw...

Almost certainly Navalny was murdered by Putin, finally. Sickening.

This is a looming Constitutional crisis. Abbott needs to be reined in, IMO. He’s not king of his own country.

Having not learned anything about allowing democratic reps to speak freely, TN GOP is going the same path as last year. TN GOP is rife with corruption. Which happens when you have decades of single party rule.

I think this needs to have some discussion as lawmakers are starting to grapple with the tech involved. I was brought up short by this. I had no idea this could be done without any recourse at all by the girls who were victims.

This probably needs its own thread. It ties in with a lot of different R culture wars: Attacks on universities, attacks on CRT and “woke”. Classifying teachers and librarians as “groomers”. Pushing vouchers to send tax money to private, often religious, schools. Betsy DeVos was an advocate for...

I think it would be great to have a place to share heartwarming stories. They can be political or not, I think. This one made my day:

This guy needs to resign immediately. What a complete crook. Link should be a gift article. I would like to think that Dem leadership will demand he resign...

I may be jumping the gun, but I thought we should probably keep the 3 major indictments in their separate threads.And this Tweet reminded me that it looks like Monday could be the day.

We just might need a thread on this because it seems like it might go beyond the sexual abuse. I know this is a biased source, but he is quoting the actual lawsuit. Rudy is toast if any of this is true.

With the increased scrutiny due to recent revelations in the press I thought maybe we can use a SCOTUS thread. We can discuss the impending Senate investigation and the legislation proposed today by Murkowski and King in the Senate that will formalize ethical guidelines.We can also use this...

I’m a little concerned about the GOP/Christian Right and their inability to stop fascist tendencies at the current moment. I saw two great threads on this very subject and this type of content is why I haven’t quit Twitter just yet.I think these two guys present some salient points. I land...

This seems to be generating a lot of talk among the on-line tech set. I don’t really care why it failed or about the nuts and bolts, but I found the immediate calls for a government bail out of investors fascinating. This guy’s thread makes a great set of points about it.There’s an entire...

The newest court filing is a true bombshell. Fox Executives’ and hosts’ texts and emails portray a consensus that the stories about the 2020 election being stolen were bunk, completely false, and yet they made a conscious decision to highlight them anyway.There is so much coming out that this...

I think we need some levity here, and maybe a new distraction from the crazy stuff that is more serious. I saw this today and it legit made me chuckle.At least maybe the price of eggs will go down if all of MAGA quits buying them, lol.

This seems like it will be a potent topic during the next six months. House Rs seem to be willing to link going along with the debt limit increase, which is just a duty of Congress - good practice that should be a routine, bipartisan vote - to some really unpopular spending cuts. At the same...

This could be worth its own thread. It will take a while for everything to come out, but at first glance it’s easy to see one reason he didn’t want them released. He had/has so many foreign entanglements.
