I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

Great, as always, piece by @jilldlawrence.bsky.social on Elise Stefanik foolishly going full-Trump. MAGA doesn't learn.
Stefanik's NY governor announcement is straight from the Trump School of Belligerent Capital-Letter Nicknames. Even after last week's GOP drubbing, she's treating Trump as a winning role model. What can she be thinking? It's a mystery. Or maybe not. @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/elise-stef...
Elise Stefanik’s Bad Bet on MAGA Politics
For a promise of power, she has let herself be yanked around. Now she’s launched a Trumpian campaign for governor of New York.

Aileen Cannon does not like that Ryan Routh (convicted of attempting to kill Trump) called Trump a dictator, but she'll begrudgingly reappoint counsel anyway.

![As a preliminary matter, it is questionable whether pro se Defendant’s disrespectful
charade of a Motion warrants the exercise of discretion in favor of appointment of new counsel.
He states, in general terms, that he wants counsel “to help with the super important sentencing as
well as the somewhat important appeals process,” but then he proceeds to vilify one of the victims
of his crimes (then-presidential candidate and now President of the United States), invite a
courtroom fight with that victim (as he did in a prior filing [see ECF No. 262]), make various
inappropriate requests about trading his life in a prisoner swap (as he did in a prior court filing too
[see ECF No. 194]), and strangely assert that “just a quarter of an inch further back and we all
would not have to deal with all of this mess forwards”—evidently referring to his public attempt
to inflict self-harm in the courtroom after the verdict [ECF No. 359-1]. This largely unserious
request continues Defendant’s calculated attempts to make a mockery of this proceeding since he
elected to go pro se.
2
Nevertheless, in light of the importance of securing access to counsel, and taking due
account of the surrounding circumstances, the Court exercises its discretion to appoint counsel.
The United States does not oppose the request for appointment of counsel in anticipation of
sentencing [ECF No. 362]. Defendant made the demand sufficiently in advance of sentencing](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreigkbcxatsga6uluoxarupwlar6722b6r4xslikwjsexqjgqpxjchm@jpeg)
