Trump’s comment
re “I’ll leave that to Kristi “ is deeply ironic

My recollection is that
Kristi, when asked at her confirmation hearing about Habeas Corpus
Said “It is a power the President has”

The WH propaganda cites selectively to

BUT the main thrust of the article is to REJECT and REFUTE the claims of Trump.

Supreme Court judge was the icing on the Brazilian cake.

SCOTUS didn’t see themselves as victims of a coup, so let Trump skate. Vergogna, indeed.

And the Brazilians had the complete documentary plans for the coup recovered from the safe of Bolsanaro’s defence minister, and forensically proven to have been printed in Bolsanaro’s private office when Bolsanaro was present. Evidence of self coup doesn’t get better than that.

And when I read this quote from Miss Anna
I imagined being within the vaulted drawing room of a palatial mansion, her eye brow arching genteelly, and the whisper of lemon tanged iced tea were the only hints of sharpness to her tone.

When you read a quote from Lemons, you gotta imagine it being said with a thick Southern twang, btw.

At one point during the hearing, the judge asked the prosecution why the case can’t be tried before mid-December.

Lemons replied: We are “just getting our hands around” discovery in the case.

There’s lots of it, he added, and it includes a “significant” amount of classified information.

This powerful JB Pritzker response to Trump's lawless threats is another reminder of what I tried to argue this morning: Pritzker understands Stephen Miller's theory of this moment, and he's responding accordingly:

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

It looks like this guy went out of his way to MAKE HIMSELF FAMOUS on the streets, including driving a vehicle with MEX FLAG HOOD and having phone cam face offs with the public.
I don’t think “protection against doxxing” reasonably should be applied to him.
