Again - STOP calling it "the hush money case"

It is the CAMPAIGN COVER-UP CASE.

THAT is the crime here: Donald Trump's coordinated cover-up of campaign finance violations -- over $400,000 in unreported contributions to his presidential campaign.

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. #LawFedi 1/

" “Trump’s legal argument is a path to dictatorship. That is not an exaggeration: His legal theory is that presidents are entitled to absolute immunity for official acts. "

The right kept their eye on the Supreme Court prize for 50 years. They waited that long to get a majority that would do whatever they wanted. Unfortunately, it paid off.

At least some of the left doesn’t seem to be nearly as focused on the Supreme Court as the right was. These are lifetime appointments and there is no quick fix. We have to wait it out and keep our eye on the prize, like the right did.

Anyone surprised?

Tesla autopilot recall under scrutiny:

https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/04/feds-concerned-some-of-teslas-autopilot-recall-was-opt-in-reversible/

"Today, we've learned that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is concerned that Tesla's massive recall to fix its Autopilot driver assist—which was pushed out to more than 2 million cars last December—has not actually made the system that much safer."

Via Obama advisor Eric Schultz:

wow - NYT reporter says their nonstop coverage of #Biden’s age is retribution for not giving their boss an interview:

“It’s A.G. He’s the one who is pissed [that] Biden hasn’t done any interviews and quietly encourages all the tough reporting on his age.”

Here is a great goal! And you can help.

Randahl Fink @randahl has started a campaign to assist resident journalist @dangillmor in reaching more followers on Mastodon than he had back on Twitter before following his principles and quitting the bird.

He is currently at 33K followers. On Twitter he had 43.5K. Only a little more than 10K to go!

Dan is superb, and if you don't already follow him, please give his work a try.

Trump calls his former A.G. Bill Barr 'gutless' and 'lazy' after getting his endorsement - Raw Story

One of my silliest hills that I will die on:

STS-31, the #SpaceShuttle mission that deployed the #Hubble Space Telescope, launched #OTD in 1990: April 24.

However, the astronauts didn't deploy the observatory until April 25.

My view -- which is not held by the good folks at STScI -- is that Hubble's birthday is thus the 25th; I liken it to April 24th is when Hubble's parents drove to the hospital / went into labor, but the 25th is when it was born.

Whenever I have to create a new agreement for a client that doesn't have an existing template I usually combine several similar agreements and smoosh them all together until I'm satisfied with the result. :blobcatcoffee:
