Am lamenting anew the refusal by Biden to support Supreme Court reform when Democrats controlled the House and Senate and could have expanded the Court, neutralizing the power of demonstrably corrupt Justice Thomas and the justices appointed after Mitch McConnell illegitimately refused to advance Obama’s nominee to the seat that went eventually to Gorsuch. Elected Democrats must take foundational measures if we are to preserve any sort of meaningful democracy in America. 1/

With Manchin and Sinema being the 49th and 50th votes, there was no chance that was happening. Let's get a functional majority and it will happen.

#TrumpTrial Day 4 🧵 starts here.

Yesterday came to an abrupt end when the dishwasher leaked all over the floor. It’s fixed now, but what a mess.

Linus, Ramone & I are all doing well.

Ok, that was January, 2017. But still.... why is the fucking director of the FBI there?

Via the Lincoln Project:

He's doing this for two reasons 1) as a distraction from the fact Pecker laid out damning claims against him in criminal court today and 2) to remind his rabid MAGA base of who he really is.

NEW THREAD 🧵 #TrumpTrial #Trump #legal 1/...

Inner City Press (aka Press):

Justice Merchan: I've signed the order to show cause. Now, the texts?
Prosecutor: We are introducing them as business records. It was part of the regular business of AMI. These are discussions between co-conspirator Dylan Howard and Ms. Rodriguez

Klasfeld:

Trump is back in the courtroom, appearing to sharply exhale when he reached the defense table before sitting down.

This is very clearly signaling that Trump will burn down powerful celebrities to save his ass. They don't get more powerful than Ari Emanuel.

Hmm, is signing and mailing documents falsely assuring you have the funds and collateral to cover a bond felony mail fraud? Are there other potential frauds here?

Thank the lord for Tish James. If you look at the research she did into this bond it made my head spin and I'm a math teacher. She understands all of these fancy finance games, and I guess you'd need to do her job in NYC. We have the worst/best "banking wizards" sometimes they break the laws of physics, sometimes they just break laws.

This bond is a stinker. I wonder what Trump promised the guy to let his company implode as sacrifice to avoid the full fee?

I'm wondering if this Knight company committed mail fraud, or otherwise committed other frauds in this case.

The U.S. government should not be in the business of shutting down social media firms on the basis of China-hate. TikTok is no worse (and in fact seems to be far better) than various social media apps from U.S.-based firms. There's a lot of be upset with China about, but TikTok (and drone leader DJI, which also has bipartisan China-hate trying to ban it) are not where Congress should be getting involved. If Congress passes such bans and Biden signs them, there will be major court battles and courts should strike the bans down.

@lauren @CaptMorgan
I think it sets a net positive precedent and so all for it. The Rubicon of realizing the power of these commercial companies is crossed.
Bravo.
I'm not in the "who will think of the poor Chinese billionaires" club because I'm in the "I don't care about ANY billionaires" club.

Okanogen,
@Okanogen@mastodon.social avatar

@lauren @CaptMorgan
Sure.
But I don't care about Chinese billionaires any more than American or South African ones.
That hill (who gets to own TikTok) is not one I have any interest at all in dying on, and if it shakes normies up about the evil of both state and corporate social media, and loosens the logjam by proving legislation is possible, count me in.

@lauren @tdietterich @CaptMorgan
Do they outlaw the phrases "reverse discrimination", "illegal immigrants", or "will replace us" among many others? If so, this theory holds water.

Okanogen,
@Okanogen@mastodon.social avatar

@lauren @tdietterich @CaptMorgan
That's a charitable and non-critical take.
Can we just not support ANY corporate or state-owned social media? Too much to ask?

Via Kyle Cheney:

JUST IN: Rep. Bennie Thompson (former chair of the Jan. 6 committee) has introduced legislation that would terminate Secret Service protection for, uh, anyone sentenced to a year or more in jail.

Honestly though.
