BREAKING: Don't fall for what Blanche is suggesting - DOJ is NOT getting rid of the whole bogus slush fund deal; it's still giving Trump $1,776 billion AND still giving him (and family) a broad civil release of liability; all it is NOT doing is using the $1,776 to create a fund for J6ers and others.

“For my friends everything; for my enemies the law.” DOJ has become an instrument of authoritarianism. No more laments for what it was; or talk of “abuses”; or wishful thinking about how they can’t get away with it. They can, if not confronted across the board. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-l...

Today, on Good Friday, we mark a day of sacrifice. Some New Yorkers will abstain from eating; others will spend hours without speaking.
Faith, the Bible tells us, is belief in the things unseen. That belief is what will guide so many of our neighbors in solemn reflection and reverence.
I wish all those observing Good Friday a blessed day of peace.

resharing for newer followers: STATE supreme courts are immensely important for what's next, as progressives hope they can be a place to turn to on issues from abortion to democracy while the right cements federal courts. so i took a turn at the supreme court results in all 32 states that had them.
