This is the only reason I'm not digging a bomb shelter in my back yard right now. I'm supremely confident that Trump will trip over his own feet and it will end up being another 4-year circus and little else.

I’m too bitter to write what I’m feeling. So, I won’t. I will simply say that this country has been let down by everyone from the President down to the level of a federal judge.
Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan has indefinitely postponed Donald Trump's sentencing for his guilty verdict on 34 counts of fraud and has granted Trump's motion to file a request to dismiss the case entirely. As a legal professional I can honestly say this is a nightmare scenario.

For those who didn't follow me previously this is my West Point girlfriend and first wife Jenn who passed in a car accident in 1994 when she was 7.5 months pregnant. An event that shaped the rest of my life. I wrote about the long tail of her loss a while back. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

President Biden...in the post-election era, you're displaying weakness. I'm not going to try and dress it up as something else or make it sound less pathetic as it is.

Merrick Garland....weakness is all you've displayed since you took the position you're in now.

Juan Merchan...Go fuck yourself.

Why is Trump refusing to obey the law and sign Transition of Power agreements with the White House? There’s a reason, and it isn’t good. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

We Need New Democratic Leadership: Who Will Step Up?

The establishment leadership of the Democratic Party is disconnected not only from the majority but also from their base. In the age of Trump's right-wing authoritarianism, who will step up?

I’ve been battling MAGA indecency since 2015

I’m vice chair of Lawyers for Good Government-probably the largest group of progressive lawyers in the US

And I’m probably somewhere on MAGA’s “enemies of the state” list

But I’ll be DAMNED if I stop fighting

Never give up
Never give in
Always resist
They are counting on you to feel helpless, exhausted, scared, alone, too old or young. We have people worldwide who even at 90 years old went out and resisted. In Ukraine the grandmothers grabbed rifles, the children flew drones. You can hold a sign, organize, we know it’s scary but don’t give up.

Notable - Mike Johnson on CNN walks back Trump's promise to deport as many as 20m people, saying "I'm not sure that's what's gonna happen. I think what the president is talking about is beginning w/the dangerous persons that we know are here. There are criminals, known criminals"

According to the FBI, Hispanic and LGBTQ communities are now receiving text messages and emails saying they have been selected for deportation or to report to a re-education camp.

The FBI has said it is in contact with the Justice Department and other federal authorities.

Where are the House Democrats decrying the GOP attempt to cover up the Matt Gaetz investigation? Doesn't the public have the right to know if a possible attorney general engaged in misconduct? The GOP Swamp is protecting its own! This stuff ain't hard to do, Democrats.
Yesterday I saw Republican state legislators jump in front of a camera to fume about Whoopi Goldberg and it’s more than national Democratic leaders have said about Trumps nominees. The party is dead.
