A short federal court order out of Oakland says there’s “strong evidence” that prosecutors there, for decades, automatically excluded black and jewish jurors from death penalty cases. https://t.co/nt0JjklN7K pic.twitter.com/KEDy3zHkNr

Looking to overturn Jan. 6th convictions
That would be the conservative majority on SCOTUS. As I’ve been saying, they should swap their robes for Mar-A-Lago valet uniforms, since there’s so little apparent difference in the job description:
As you talk about the likelihood that SCOTUS is about to require a documentary tie to 1512, consider the fact that the defendant in question LITERALLY said he wanted to obstruct the vote cert BY suffocating MoCs.

Media sleepwalks past Ginni Thomas’ treason
"Like when Trump was recently caught smuggling boxes of top-secret documents out of the WH, the Beltway press is treating Ginni Thomas’ seditious assault on democracy as a middling story" https://t.co/f2PxkfdPMN— Celery Caraway (@CeleryCaraway) April 16, 2024

Just plain crazy
Thanks to a decision by the Supreme Court today, it is no longer safe to organize a political protest in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas.https://t.co/hOfdnk9Equ

Following the trial is boring so far
Two weeks of jury selection, and Trump is falling asleep in the courtroom. Probably can’t handle not being able to blab!
Wow. Maggie Haberman just confirmed that “Trump appeared to be asleep. His head would fall down…He didn’t pay attention to a note his lawyer passed him. His jaw kept falling on his chest and his mouth kept going slack.” Sleepy Don?

By the way? Trump knows what he’s doing. He will do anything he can to delay the trial.
Even as prosecutors were seeking a contempt ruling against Donald Trump for violating the gag order in recent days, Trump once again tested the boundaries of the gag during the trial's lunch break. via @kyledcheney https://t.co/xyTxwnTjeZ

‘Novel’
NEW: Jack Smith has filed his brief with SCOTUS slamming Trump’s immunity claim as “novel,” “sweeping” and refuted by history.
Rightly so: the absolute immunity Trump seeks is something that belongs to dictators, not an American presidenthttps://t.co/8EDDHWfpcz pic.twitter.com/FMHgUWa4jU

Important @RWPUSA — please give a read, what national security professionals say about absolute immunity matters! And they say there is no such thing https://t.co/nB7mupvgIw

Wait, what?
JUST IN: Judge Cannon in the MAL classified documents case has DENIED Donald Trump's Motion to Dismiss the indictment based on the Presidential Records Act.https://t.co/JWN0912jEe

Judge Cannon just rejected Trump's bogus Presidential Records Act defense, but only for now. She has (weirdly and pointedly) refused to actually decide the issue, despite Jack Smith's warning that double jeopardy would then apply. I think Smith has no choice but to go to the 11th… pic.twitter.com/JcQzqOCJEl
