New on @MSNBC: The Trump case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan.
Chutkan, an Obama appointee, is the only federal judge in Washington, D.C. who has sentenced Jan. 6 defendants to sentences longer than the government had requested.
Here’s an incomplete list of athletes with the same height and weight as Donald Trump who said he was 6’3 and 215 Pounds.
A thread. 🧵
First up is quarterback Aaron Rodgers who is 6’2, 223 pounds.
Democrats have introduced a bill that would bar Trump from being buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
Who agrees a FOUR-TIME INDICTED president shouldn’t be allowed? ✋
BREAKING: CNN drops bombshell, reports that Atlanta Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis just “asked a judge to set a trial date of March 4, 2024, for former President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants.”
This is DEVASTATING for Trump because it’s right smack in the middle of the Republican primaries — and WELL before the 2024 presidential election in November of 2024.
It’s a nightmare scenario for Trump, because Fani Willis is going to quickly bring down Trump and his criminal co-conspirators on national television —- and he can’t be pardoned by ANY president.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank District Attorney Fani Willis for holding Trump accountable — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because it banned Trump for life and because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp
My opponent is trying to pit us against each other. Calling anyone who disagrees with them names. Telling you it’s okay to yell at, even hate, your fellow Kentuckians.
I’m ready to prove that’s a losing strategy in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Daniel Cameron's "catch-up plan" has one purpose: desperately trying to catch up in the polls.
No matter how hard Cameron tries to rebrand it, Kentuckians don't want a Matt Bevin sequel.
Hillary Clinton on Maddow with Fani Willis about to drop details of Trump’s 4th indictment any minute is like my birthday, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve all rolled into one.💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

Trump says his legal team will be asking for the federal judge overseeing the election subversion case to recuse herself and a venue change. CNN's team notes more than three dozen Jan. 6 defendants have asked to move their cases out of DC, but no judge has ever said yes.
TELEVISE THE TRIAL: Democrats are now calling Trump’s bluff and have sent a letter to the head administrative judge of the Washington D.C. federal court requesting that all of the criminal proceedings involving Donald Trump be broadcast live. https://t.co/6XXoXJa7dX
The White House has announced they are putting Biden’s name on hundreds of thousands of infrastructure project signs after Republicans started taking credit for projects they voted against.
“PROJECT FUNDED BY PRESIDENT BIDEN’S INFRASTRUCTURE LAW.”

We’re coming after you, @realDonaldTrump. We’re going to break you, humiliate you, defeat you at the ballot box, shatter your movement. You’ll spend your sorry last years weeping in a lonely prison cell, your hideous legacy a warning to future generations, your shame eternal.
I do not troll the depths of Truth Social.
Having said that, if Trump posted this garbage, it can be argued that he violated the judge's order not to intimidate witnesses, etc. and perhaps he will be remanded to jail pending his trial.
But, on another level, I can only laugh.
He called on his "army" to show up for his D.C. arraignment and only the "Circumcision Guy", six members of "Blacks for Trump," a couple of flag waving lunatics incapable of cogent thought and one guy who claimed Trump was the second coming of Jesus showed up.
He's always been a flatulent gas bag, but Trump is running out of gas.
So "If you go after me, I'm coming after you"?
Who cares?
Who's scared of an aging, overweight septuagenarian with a bad combover?
BREAKING—
Donald Trump just BLINKED. After Special Counsel Jack Smith fired back at Trump's threats with a motion for a protective order, Trump folded and issued a terrified response via a spokesperson in a desperate attempt at damage control: https://t.co/Ic1RBJ2a9e
Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees that if you are calling for a federal takeover of Washington DC because you've just been indicted for trying to do the same thing, you still have not learned your lesson, you deranged buzzard.
What an utter disgrace.
The special counsel obtained contemporaneous notes Mike Pence took on his meetings with Trump, according to the indictment, which cites the notes as evidence underpinning its case.
Citing Pence's notes, it alleges Trump and co-conspirator 2 "knowingly made false claims of election fraud" in a Jan. 4, 2021 meeting and asked Pence to either challenge or reject the legitimate electors from seven states.
According to Jack Smith: Trump knew he lost, incited a mob to attack the Capitol and disrupt the Electoral Vote Count and then used the visual of the crowd to convince GOP officials to violate the Constitution. The amazing thing about the indictment is that we saw it all happen.
