Judge Cannon has postponed Trump's classified documents trial and didn't set a new start date.

The Supreme Court is slow walking Trump's classified documents case, which has delayed his Jan 6 trial.

The federal judiciary is effectively acting like a MAGA campaign arm.

Some of those judges would be unemployed without him appointing them to spots they're really not qualified for.

So let's end the day on an up note.

19 days to go til we start driving up! Enjoy another dopey #CountdownToCanada gif 🇨🇦 and have a peaceful evening.

You've all been wonderful today, thank you.

12 MAGA GOP Senators threaten the ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, as well as the ICC, as well as Khan's family. They call prosecution of Israel for war crimes an attack on US sovereignty. What?

Btw threatening the ICC is also a violation of int'l law.

So, this was released today. My third stamp with Canada Post. Qarlinngua (The pants). And technically my second stamp with a family member in it, as the tiny figure in it is my son Travis. Now for one with Hilary in it.

I’ve very proud of all of these, beyond the cache. They are about my home, and family. And also my family has a long history with the Post Office, 101 years. My grandfather, father, and brother were all postmasters in Roblin.

👀SOS Blinken admits that social media exposes atrocities, esp. those that are occurring in Gaza. He reveals in a discussion with Sen Romney, that's why TikTok may be shutdown. The pair's acknowledgment also indicates their naivete, one doesn't need to be on TikTok to know what Israel has wreaked on the Palestinian civilians & how Netanyahu was complicit & is sabotaging the deal that BIden supports.

Absorb this graph—but note that the final year is 2018, the year of Trump’s tax cuts. That’s #Trump’s big goal, always has been: to rip off working people and hand huge bags of cash to the ultra-wealthy, like himself and his Mar-a-Lago buddies.

Stunning graph: the plummeting tax rates of the richest Americans. For the first time in history, billionaires have a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans.

While the "Back to the Future" trilogy was generally brilliant, its ending was a sentimental, illogical cop-out. Train smashes into car, destroying it -- AND DOESN'T STOP? Doc in the past uses steam to generate the required power for another time vehicle using only the resources available then? The list goes on and on, though frankly, the train not stopping has always been the big blocker for me at that point.

Has there ever been someone who has been so totally disconnected from everything they just said in the previous sentence.

Trump: he's rushing this case

Also Trump: they've never sat in court so long

: You have a judge who is totally conflicted and he's rushing this case through. Some people somebody just told me they never sat for such a long period of time in a court house before. It’s ridiculous.
