Too many, huh? Imposition? Well, now you know how we feel.

A federal appeals court has stopped accepting public complaints against Judge Aileen #Cannon — many seeking her recusal from the classified documents case against #Trump — citing a flood of 1,000 filings in recent weeks that appear to be part of 'an orchestrated campaign.' #legal

America 2024.

“10-year-old brought a loaded handgun to Glassell Park Elementary school on Tues. No one was injured in the incident. …The weapon was a loaded .40-caliber Glock 22 that had been reported stolen. The gun recovery reflects an alarming increase of "weapons incidents" and fights at Los Angeles Unified schools amid demands from many parents for more police and security after the school board slashed the police budget four years ago.” #guns

🤦🏻‍♀️🤣”Republicans are being trolled after a section on the Republican National Convention's (RNC) website included a picture of Ho Chi Minh City, instead of Milwaukee.

This year's RNC is being held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, next month on July 15. But a Boston Globe reporter noticed Tuesday that the convention's website was using a picture of Vietnam's most populous city on its "News and Updates" page.”

“#Georgia Court of Appeals temporarily halted proceedings in #Trump case while it reviews a trial judge's ruling that allowed Fulton County District Attorney #FaniWillis to continue prosecuting the case.

The stay issued by the court applies only to Trump and the eight co-defendants who sought to have Willis and her office removed from the case because of an improper relationship she had with Nathan Wade, who served as a special prosecutor” #legal

This powerful, hope-imparting 12-minute overview from #Maddow gave me back my foundation.

It reminded me of my personal responsibility to support election workers, court workers, and others who are doing the dangerous job of keeping our #legal system functioning.

It reminded me not to be cowed.

If it does the same for you, maybe #boost this so others get the same inspiration.

“The gas giant #Gazprom, which has been an engine of Russia's economy, will pay a decadelong price for Russian leader Vladimir #Putin's invasion of #Ukraine.

The U.K. newspaper Financial Times reported Wednesday that it had seen research commissioned by the energy group's leaders that predicted Gazprom probably will not be able to recover for years the gas sales it lost due to the war started by Putin.”

JUST IN: Judge #Cannon in the MAL classified #documents case enters a paperless Order directing #Trump to file a Response to Special Counsel #JackSmith’s Motion to Modify Bond Conditions on or before June 14. A Reply, if any, from Smith will be due on or before June 21st.

Clearly, Judge Cannon doesn’t seem to be worried about the safety of the law enforcement officers that have targets on their backs courtesy of Donald Trump’s spreading of lies about the MAL search warrant.
