It’s #NewstodonFriday — such a shame it’s been a slow news week! Just to refresh your memories, this is a day to feature work from newsrooms with an active presence in the #Fediverse. If you like what you see in the (long!) thread below, follow the profiles and boost their stories. If you’re a journo or newsroom that we don’t know about or if there’s a newsroom you’d love to put on our radar, please let us know in the comments below.
Our @NewsDesk created this Flipboard Storyboard on what happens next for Trump — whether he has grounds for appeal, how the verdict will impact the election, if he might go to prison, and the ludicrous Republican response to his conviction.
8 #Republican senators announced Fri they would boycott #Democratic#legislative priorities & nominations as payback for #Trump’s #guilty#verdict.
In a joint statement, the senators said they would not “allow any increase to non-security related funding for this administration, or any appropriations bill which funds partisan lawfare.”
Anyone heard the fox news spin on how Biden could even influence a state conviction / prosecution? I assume they just gloss over that and get right to the outrage.
It might be a bit late to get #Newstodon Friday going today, but here's our pick for the day:
Donald #Trump is a non-New Yorker’s idea of a New Yorker: “a well-done steak guy in a bagels-and-lox, or slice-of-pizza, or arroz con pollo or soup dumplings town.”
