Trump "griped that Mr. Blanche, a former federal prosecutor and veteran litigator, has not been following his instructions closely, and has been insufficiently aggressive." Are you surprised, Todd? nytimes.com/2024/04/30/us/…
Trump who is definitely not worried about RFK posted about him three times.

Columbus Police exactly one year ago when dealing with armed neo nazis vs today when dealing with college protesters.
Putin is a snowflake and can't handle criticism. Accordingly, Russia just issued an arrest warrant for chess champion Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63. Absurd. rferl.org/a/russia-kaspa…
This argument is risible on its own terms but it is gobsmacking in a case where a president illegally tried to stay in office.

The same guy who thinks the presidency gives him immunity from criminal prosecution also argued that being a private citizen meant he couldn’t be impeached. No accountability, ever, under any circumstances.
If Alito is worried about the consequences of the outcome of this case, shouldn't he factor in the obvious notion that if ex-presidents are granted immunity from prosecution, it will encourage them to commit (more) crimes while in office?

It’s so shocking to see a lawyer for former President Trump make a categorically insane argument.
It’s so shocking to see a lawyer for former President Trump make a categorically insane argument.
The idea that Congress must expressly pass a statute saying, "The President shall not coup," as advocated by Sauer is categorically insane.
Justice Alito suggests that, if former presidents are subject to prosecution after leaving office, they'll be more likely to seek to unlawfully remain in office after they were defeated for re-election/their term has ended. JFC.
3 things are clear: (1) nobody is inclined to grant absolute immunity, BUT (2) the conservatives are not happy with the black-and-white DC circuit ruling against Trump, WHICH MEANS (3) the ruling *won't* come quickly and will likely call for further proceedings in lower courts
Generic Republican (but shy about it). Such a bold, independent maverick!

This can't be happening. New Quinnipiac poll finds 60% of voters see the hush money charges against Trump as serious. This includes 60% of independents and 55% of non-college whites (one of Trump's best demographics):
Friends, this is a single poll. A few points: - Biden/Ds gaining in natl polls, Biden had his best 2024 poll this week (Marist +6 w/likelies) - We now have polls w/Biden ahead in MI/PA/WI - 3 recent polls show NC up for grabs - Trump = raging dumpster fire Keep calm, carry on.

Conservative Justices are very worried that EMTALA might make religious hospitals provide abortions to save someone's major bodily functions. It shows how extreme their view of religious liberty has gotten. Harm to corporate conscience > women being permanently maimed.
Prelogar has absolutely had it with Alito

Woah. Trump tells @TIME he would “let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans.” This is the future we’re looking at if he’s elected in November. time.com/6972021/donald…

If Trump returns to office, he will: 1) Wreck the US legal system to escape consequences of his crimes and frauds; 2) Betray Ukraine and destroy NATO; 3) Wage trade wars and capsize the world economy. Latest in @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Trump posted that he watched Bill Maher for the first time in a long time but last month he was posting about him. But last month he posted this just a few hours after Bill Maher aired.
The Kaplan poll showing Trump up 15 in Michigan will age about as well the Biden up 17 in Wisconsin poll from 2020.
Trump who is definitely not worried about RFK posted about him three times.

Donald Trump thinks telling someone they’re fired is something to laugh about. I guess that’s how you look at the world from Mar-a-Lago.

This is terrible.
Noelle McAfee says she was arrested after telling a cop to stop “pummeling” a young person who was already on the ground. She stood 4 feet away from police. They told her to move; she said “no,” and they took her. She tears up remembering the kid, wondering if they are OK.

Two hours in: This is a fascinating seminar on the bounds of presidential power (core and otherwise). So fantastically subtle and nuanced that it's the death knell for Jack Smith's election-subversion case.
