New in Public Notice: Even while scheduling Trump's trial for mishandling classified docs for May 2024, Judge Aileen Cannon indulged some of the Trump lawyers' wacky arguments. And there are a number of ways she could help Trump out once the trial begins. https://www.publicnotice.co/p/aileen-cannon-trump-documents-trial-may-2024

Despite Donald Trump’s supporters constructing a gallows to hang Mike Pence in front of the Capitol on Jan. 6, the former vice president continues to defend Trump’s actions that day as not that bad. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/pence-defending-trump-jan-6-1234793812/

Totally nutso-buttso!

Twitter just changed everyone's DM settings so that you'll only receive messages requests from paying Twitter Blue subscribers, even if you had open filtered DMs before.

Extortion!

Control who can message you Depending on the setting you select, different people can send you a direct message.

NEW: Mississippi removed 29,000 people from its Medicaid rolls in June—accounting for 44% of those who were up for renewal—after the COVID Public Health Emergency order ended.

Many more mostly low-wage workers will lose Medicaid in the months to come and many will be left in the coverage gap. Mississippi is one of just 10 states that chose not to accept billions to expand Medicaid—which could cover 100,000-300,000 residents.

Confidential DeSantis campaign memo looks to reassure donors amid stumbles
In the strategy memo obtained by NBC News, DeSantis' campaign says it will stay focused on the early states and not yet make investments in Super Tuesday battlegrounds.

#Desantis is trying to sell Americans his hate, bigotry and #christofascist #propaganda. Ron is the swamp.

Pretty unbelievable that @MSNBC is discussing Biden polling numbers and how his age is big concern.

They SHOULD be discussing how the Biden administration wants a nation under a democratic rule and how the GQP wants a nation under a fascist rule.

NONE of this other stuff matters if we don’t stay a democracy.

There’s only one party trying to save our democracy and it’s the Democratic Party.

That’s what matters.

1. This week, a federal investigation found that three Kentucky-based McDonald’s franchises illegally employed at least 305 children.

Two ten-year-olds were working cleaning and taking drive-thru orders until 2 AM

And they weren't even paid!

Compared to other democracies, we are one of the worst in terms of how many constituents a single legislator is supposed to represent.

Thankfully, the solution is simple: expand the House.

RT @rbreich
GOP strategy:

1. Cut taxes for the rich & corporations, claiming they'll pay for themselves

2. Explode the deficit

3. Use the debt & deficit as an excuse to demand cuts to programs that millions rely on

4. Repeat

They're trying to get away with it again. We can't let them.

Fast Company reviews 6 Twitter replacements, and author @harrymccracken calls Mastodon the "heir apparent".

He says the Mastodon crowd is "friendly and engaged".

And he observes that Mastodon has higher interaction even with lower follower counts.
