So far #TFG has impunity, he's stayed out of jail due to⬇️reasons.

Justice may be served, soon.

Proving TFG “directed” his "surrogates," MAGA pols, to make those attacks would be exceedingly difficult & putting him in jail at all, much less for something said by a 3rd party, would ignite a pol firestorm -it seems like a motion for contempt would serve as a pointless distraction with this trial racing toward the finish line. In short, the juice ain’t worth the squeeze.

R leaders are fascist & lawless:

“I do technically have a primary." -AG Knudsen -when asked who was running agst him. “However, he's a young man who I asked to run against me bc our campaign laws are ridiculous.”

He faces dozens of professional misconduct allegations.

In 2021: ordered Lewis & Clark Co ATTY to dismiss concealed carry weapons charges agst a man who allegedly threatened a restaurant mgr trying to enforce MT's Covid mask mandate.

Rs aid & abet #TFG:

"Trump says something horrible. His enablers say, 'What he means is something different.' Then he says, 'No, I meant exactly the thing I said.'

*Rs blast Trump trial as illegit.

*Trump VPers wouldn't have certified elex.

*Rs back his refusal to say he'll accept 2024 result.

*Rs mostly fine w/his vow to pardon 1/6ers.

GOP’s embrace of TFG’s authoritarianism is growing. Their support for him has driven the party into the abyss.

#Billionaires are destroying #democracy, not paying their fair share of taxes...

50 billionaire families have, at this early stage, already injected ~$1B into our pol system -most going to Rs & in support of #TFG -in an effort to maintain enough control of our pol system that their taxes won’t go⬆️ -doesn’t count: billions in dark$...

#1 movie in America last month: Civil War. RW militias are on the march. >1/2 of Rs say they're “expecting” a civil war.

Divergent views by MOC are a gift to #TFG, Putin... Many Dems know #ICC correct w warrants.

Rep Pocan: “If Netanyahu comes to address Congress, I'd be more than glad to show the ICC the way to the HSE floor to issue that warrant.”

Rep Torres slammed the ICC, calling the arrest warrants “not law but politics” & saying “Hamas alone should be the target of criminal prosecution.”

"I completely reject the ICC prosecutor’s announce. targeting senior Israeli officials," -Rep K Manning⬇️.

👀Netanyahu has banned his intel. & security chiefs from meeting with US officials/lawmakers multiple times since #Oct7 -seems to be trying to control what US pols & diplomats hear -at a time when his govt is divided over his war strategy +tense relations with the US.

Gov Abbott is a brutal authoritarian:

Perry's a free man -pardoned by a TX gov. who all but declared open season on pol protesters *views aren't favored by his extreme authoritarian state. Pardon's message: supposedly #1A-protected protests for causes like Black civil rights or agst the slaughter of civilians in Gaza can, & probably will, expose you to arrest or state violence, risk your: schooling/job o r-in danger of deadly vigilante justice.

Hedge funds, PE firms... are vultures, employees are the 1st to go:

"A hedge fund bought the co, sold off all the land Red Lobster restaurants are located on, leased the land back to Red Lobster, & jacked the rent. Just so you know what is really going on here."
-M McDonald

Darden sold Red Lobster in 2014 to private equity firm Golden Gate Capital for $2.1B. It parted with its remaining stake in the chain in 2020, selling to Thai Union Group.

Biden's funding of the IRS via the IRA, is paying off:

Wealthy taxpayers who haven’t filed in years are beginning to get their returns in order, even if they haven’t received collection notices. The IRS is going after rich taxpayers who haven’t been filing their returns, an announcement hailed as a sign the agency was getting back on track after Covid delays & decades of underfunding. Agency sent out 125K notices to those who should have filed.
