Wake up people, trump must be removed from office. A president calling for Gov Pritzker and others political opponents to be jailed should frighten everyone regardless of party. That is fascism.

The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.

The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney

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.

Keep Dolly Parton in your heart tonight
If you pray include her in your prayers
Apparently she's having some serious health issues
She's always been a force for good
and a beacon of love & kindness in song
The world (and especially America) needs her more than ever
in these challenging times RS

Don't be surprised if Trump claims key blue states to be in "open rebellion" and attempts to exclude their elected officials from being seated in Congress.

FLAG: Trump just said online that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker "should be in jail."
