The Trump Organization filed for trademark protection of "Trump TV" so that the government would have to PAY him to use the channel he just created… Miraculously, Trump has found yet another way to steal even more money from the American people. Trump. Is. A. Charlatan. And. A. Fraud. 😎✨

It’s difficult to overstate how dangerous such a declaration would be for American democracy. It would mean a president is attempting to sidestep the Constitution, which empowers states to run elections, in order to prevent his party from losing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Could Trump take over voting by declaring a ‘national emergency’?
Advocates agree such an attempt would be blatantly unconstitutional but still worry that such an emergency order could suppress voting nonetheless.

Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

Regardless of who is AG, SCOTUS must reverse their 2024 presidential immunity decision or the next AG hits the same wall AG Garland hit. If you break the law to save the law, the law doesn't come back "after just this one time". Respect for the "rule of law" is absolute no matter what or who is AG.
