Pagliery:

It's Day 16 of Trump's NYC criminal trial. The moment has finally arrived.

The consigliere. The disbarred lawyer. The author of Revenge. Michael Cohen.

Prosecutors question him 1st, so get ready for a finger-pointing session.

Prosecutors have walked in.

The chief of the investigations division, Susan Hoffinger, is chatting w the court reporter.

Matt Colangelo and Joshua Steinglass are fiddling with papers.

@slcw First he damages military readiness with his hold on promotions and now he's spouting Russian propaganda like . Boy, must have the goods on old Tommy. What's the saying? "Dead girl or live boy?"

Some people should leave Congress and never come back. This Community Note brought the Senator to school.

What is this delusional goober talking about? The Republican claims that #Biden was involved with bribery and influence peddling was the closest thing to criminal conduct, and it was just exposed as #RussianIntelligence operation. What other crimes do these clowns believe Biden has committed? And why haven't they produced even a single shred of evidence to support their claims? Goober #Tuberville is an idiot who has nothing to say, so he just makes shit up.

By blocking the appointments so long, blocked critical military policy formulation and updates to situation changes on the ground. So Tuberville is directly guilty of degrading the protection of those .

As expected. Sigh.

Via Tamar Hallerman:

#Georgia senator seeks new committee to investigate Fulton DA #FaniWillis.

His bill would create a panel w/ the ability to subpoena people/evidence + require testimony under oath. No other Ga committees have oath requirement

Under the measure, if the committee finds there has been misconduct, it can recommend changes to the state law or budget.

The sponsor, Republican Greg Dolezal, said the public deserves a "thorough and impartial examination."

Well, it was Tommy #Tuberville’s behavior that kickstarted a movement to finally fund enforcement of #Alabama’s old laws prohibiting expectant mothers from swallowing their tobacco juice.

Greg Olear on the year that was, 2023:

"Twenty-twenty-three was a year in which the former President of the United States was indicted—not once, not twice, not thrice, but four times. This did not stop the neo-reactionary fringe from wanting to crown him king. Jared Kushner continued to face zero consequences for his catastrophic pandemic response, his new gig managing Saudi billions, or his sad attempt at Middle East diplomacy."

"Military promotions were stymied by a former college football coach who could not consistently win the Egg Bowl. Texas, already racist and fascist and transphobic and misogynistic and corrupt, got even more so, thanks to its staggeringly corrupt attorney general. A hateful old billionaire bequeathed a billion and a half dollars to arguably the worst possible custodian."

If presidents have ultimate immunity, regardless of constitutionality, as #trump is claiming (and #scotus refuses to correct), can #biden , the current president, nullify the 2024 election without correction by SCOTUS?

Can he throw out the congressional investigation of impeachment proceedings, or the one into his son? Can he appoint the heads of military which #tuberville is delaying, unilaterally?

Can he imprison #gaetz for an ugly face? Can he deport #melania ? Can he declare himself king?

Your pressure worked. Failing Senator Tommy #Tuberville has dropped the remaining holds he had on Department of Defense nominations, ensuring our military readiness, especially if Donald #Trump attempts another insurrection. #Alabama https://www.kunm.org/npr-news/2023-12-19/sen-tuberville-drops-remaining-holds-on-senior-military-promotions

#Tuberville may drop remaining holds on military nominations, citing end of the year - senators.

“I don't know. It just depends on how they do it. You know, sooner or later we're gonna let them go through, you know? I've given 99 percent of them. But you'd think they would say OK, what are we gonna do to get these last 11? I've heard from nobody” https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2023/12/19/congress/tuberville-holds-senate-military-00132486

A top Pentagon official is stepping down this month, deepening the gap in confirmed leaders within the Defense Department’s policy shop as Sen. Tommy #Tuberville continues his blockade of senior military and civilian nominations.

The departure means both the No. 1 and 2 positions in DOD’s policy office will be filled with acting officials.—Politico

Hundreds of #promotions approved afr #Tuberville drops hold. #Senate swiftly approves 425 officers’ advancement but 11 four-star jobs remain in limbo. 1Man Did This #TommyTuberville released most of his holds on officer promotions on Tues largely ending 9-month protest that failed to reduce troops’ access to #abortion services but left US military increasingly shorthanded at its most senior jobs. W/in hours the Senate approved promotion of 425 senior officers long held up https://www.defenseone.com/policy/2023/12/tuberville-drops-hold-most-military-promotions/392485/

"Tuberville did not succeed in what he set out to do. The Pentagon’s reimbursement policy for reproductive services remains intact and in place. All that Tuberville managed to do for over nine months is up-end the lives of hundreds of families of our nation’s top military leaders while damaging the readiness of our armed forces."
