Good. He’s absolutely right.

Via Kyle Griffin:

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's office argues in a new letter that the partial gag order in #Trump's New York criminal case should remain in place at least through sentencing.

Bragg's office writes that the "court has an obligation to protect the integrity of these proceedings and the fair administration of justice at least through the sentencing hearing and the resolution of any post-trial motions." #legal #TrumpIsAConvictedFelon

#Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) will withdraw the state from particip in CA’s tough auto emissions standards at end of this year, using opinion from Virginia AG Jason S. Miyares (R) as justification for undoing an action taken by Gen Assembly.
“Once again, Virginia is declaring independence — this time from a misguided electric vehicle mandate imposed by unelected leaders nearly 3,000 miles away from the Commonwealth”

🤦🏻‍♀️🤣”Republicans are being trolled after a section on the Republican National Convention's (RNC) website included a picture of Ho Chi Minh City, instead of Milwaukee.

This year's RNC is being held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, next month on July 15. But a Boston Globe reporter noticed Tuesday that the convention's website was using a picture of Vietnam's most populous city on its "News and Updates" page.”
