Astonishing pictures from #Tbilisi#Georgia - a rally of likely 150K+ people against the planned 'foreign agents law' (very much along the lines of what the Kremlin introduced in Russia)

A grand jury in Georgia that has been investigating former President Donald Trump over his efforts to undo the 2020 election results in that state has returned an indictment, though it was not immediately clear against whom....
"Former #Georgia election workers #RubyFreeman and #ShayeMoss will seek between $15.5 million and $43 million from #RudyGiuliani at a defamation trial slated to begin next month in a Washington, D.C., federal court, attorneys for the mother and daughter wrote in court documents filed Tuesday.
A federal judge has already found #Giuliani liable..." #legal
9 Times the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Miscalculated Badly at the Expense of #Taxpayers, #Wildlife
The agency has a history of diving into big #construction projects that exceed projected costs, fall short on projected benefits and, in some cases, create new problems that #engineers hadn’t bargained for.
KUDOS to #Maddow, MSNBC for refusing to carry any possible remarks from #Trump live.
Maddow: If he does that, we're not gonna take those remarks live… as we said in the past there is a cost to us as a news organization of knowingly broadcasting untrue things.
Jenna Ellis was my pick to be next & now, word she's pleading: As a former deputy district attorney in Colorado, Ellis should know that Powell’s plea signals trouble for her..Ellis has to be concerned that Powell will testify against her, and that others may beat her to Fani Willis’/Jack Smith’s door if she doesn’t get a move on. #Georgia#TrumpIndictment#legal
I’ve finished reading the #FultonCounty#indictment, first time through. I’ll need to read it again to fully absorb it, but it is a crucial historical and legal document. Because #FaniWillis charged under #Georgia#RICO statute, the indictment fully captures how extensive and coordinated were the efforts of #Trump, #Giuliani, #Eastman, #Meadows and the rest. All the acts described in the RICO count have been reported, even been synthesized by journalists. But the discipline …1/2 #LawFedi
Prosecutors are recommending a sentence of six years probation. Powell will also be required to testify at future trials and write an apology letter to the citizens of Georgia.
When Families Need Housing, Georgia Will Pay for Foster Care Rather Than Provide Assistance
In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a WABE and ProPublica analysis found. Advocates say it would be cheaper to help families get housing.
He’s inciting violence again, and nothing would make him happier than to see someone die as a result.
Via Kyle Griffin:
Donald #Trump just attacked elections administrated by #Fulton County, #Georgia. Earlier this week, we learned that the Fulton County election office was sent a threatening letter containing fentanyl.
New: #FaniWillis accuses House Judiciary Committee leaders of seeking to "obstruct #Georgia criminal proceeding & to advance outrageous misrepresentations." Jordan recently demanded records of Willis’s communications w DOJ officials.
Jones: So your argument is a person that makes $200,000 a year is actually setting up prosecutions to go on a trip that costs $3500? #FaniWillis#Georgia
Today and over the next couple days we can expect a lot of news related to the Georgia Trump racketeering indictments. To demonstrate how Mastodon has become an excellent source for coverage of such events, and to promote good accounts to follow, this account will be boosting breaking reports and analysis.
His lawyer says it's unfair Eastman should have to fight #criminal charges in #Georgia w/o being able to earn money as a #lawyer to pay his #legal bills.
This is like a convicted drug dealer saying it’s unfair he can no longer sell crack because he has to pay his lawyer.
Just in: The #Fulton County DA's office is seeking emergency safeguards after recorded interviews featuring four defendants in the #Trump case were leaked to the media
"The release of these confidential video recordings is clearly intended to intimidate witnesses in this case, subjecting them to harassment and threats prior to trial," the DA's office argues.
