It bears repeating that the purpose of Jan 6 was to throw out cast, counted and finalized state vote counts by force, using counterfeit elector documents.

That ALL of Trump’s 60 court allegations were dismissed as baseless in red and blue states and by Trump appointed judges

ALL 60 CASES

Line in the Street - The only film about the landmark 2018 Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision which overturned and cured a blatantly gerrymandered voting district map - because the gerrymandered map plainly violated STATE CONSTITUTIONAL VOTING RIGHTS

The ONLY purpose of Trump’s Jan 6 insurrection attempt was to throw out cast, counted, recounted, and finalized state vote totals by force - using COUNTERFEIT elector documents - after Trump had lost ALL of the 60 + court cases alleging voter fraud

One of the most frightening things about Trump's fascist coup is how many people don't realize it's a fascist coup.

In fact, Trump plainly and demonstrably lied about square footage and valuation of real estate

Yes, that pales in comparison to Trump’s attempted insurrection, or willfully withholding federal documents - after repeated requests to return them - but his real estate fraud is factual

In November 1969, the massive anti-war protest in DC probably influenced President Richard Nixon's decision to cancel plans for massive escalation in Vietnam, including the potential use of tactical nuclear weapons.

I'm not a conservative commentator. No Billionaire is offering me $150 million. No TV network will make me its editor in chief.

I am just a lawyer who fights hard for democracy. I built Democracy Docket to keep you informed. For $10 a month, you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.
