On MSNBC just now, writer Andrew Rice said that while he was in court yesterday for #MichaelCohen’s direct, he could see over #Trump’s shoulder and Trump was editing the very remarks #MikeJohnson, #TommyTuberville, #VivekRamaswamy, et al ended up delivering outside the courthouse today. If true, that seems a very clear violation of the #GagOrder (“Making or directing others to make public statements…”).

Probably difficult to prove it unless you take Rice at his word, though.

Judge Juan #Merchan has finally had enough of #Trump siccing his rabid disciples on the judge's daughter.

The gag order in Trump's New York election coverup case has been extended to include staff and family members of the Court and DA Alvin Bragg's office. Trump can (and surely will) continue making statements about the judge and the DA, but family and staffers are now off-limits.

“William C. Robinson, a pastor working for Chi Alpha Campus Ministries in Corpus Christi, received 10 years probation after sexually abusing an underage family member [for years].”

Probation? Sounds about white… He molested his own relative and the court ordered him to take parenting classes! Unreal.

This is why you don't play footsie with fascists!

Ronna Romney is, thankfully, gone from NBC. But details of her contract are leaking out. It turns out MSNBC prez Rashida Jones was directly involved in recruiting and hiring Ronna, and executives had indeed intended for her to appear on MSNBC in addition to NBC -- even agreeing to pay her extra for it.

Now, Ronna is gearing up to sue NBC for breach of contract.

You may have heard that when you abandon #Twitter, it's recommended to leave your account intact and just stop using it, instead of deleting it. Here's a good example of why that's suggested.

Judge Juan #Merchan's daughter deleted her Twitter account last year (presumably after a prior round of threats and unwanted publicity). That made her old username available -- someone has since registered it, and is posting things that #Trump is using to rile up his base.

“A U.S. Air Force intelligence analyst advocated publicly for a second Civil War, running a high-profile anti-government Facebook group—and at one point shared classified information he ‘likely’ got from the ultra-covert National Security Agency, according to investigators.”

Isabella DeLuca, former intern to GOP representatives #LeeZeldin and #PaulGosar, has been arrested for her participation in the #January6th #insurrection.

DeLuca had also been an ambassador for #CharlieKirk’s TP 🧻 USA and apparently regards herself as some kind of far-reich “influencer.”
