BREAKING: Donald Trump gets horrible news as a coalition of prominent media outlets formally requests that the judge overseeing his historic election interference case allow cameras in the courtroom.

Normally, public cameras are banned in federal court. Of course, this is not a normal criminal case and an incredibly compelling case can be made that Americans have a right to watch every second of it.

"We have never, in the history of our Nation, had a federal criminal trial that warrants audiovisual access more than the federal prosecution of former President Trump for allegedly trying to subvert the will of the people," reads the filed application.

"The prosecution of a former president, now a presidential contender, on charges of subverting the electoral process, presents the strongest possible circumstances for continuous public oversight of the justice system," it goes on.

The media coalition includes heavy-hitters like The New York Times, Univision, and The Associated Press. They argue that the ban on cameras is based on "outdated and long disproven views about recording and broadcasting trials."

Crucially, they argue that a broadcast will contribute towards "helping to secure public confidence in the outcome of the case.”

What do you think? Should it be televised?

Please retweet and ❤️ if you support putting cameras in the courtoom — 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/HnJzSKjCwX

@sabback You people are absolutely repulsive. Michele Obama has more class and dignity in her little finger than any of you have in your entire rotten family trees. Get bent. 🖕

@BarackObama @MichelleObama You are BOTH so missed. Hope you have a wonderful day! ❤️🥂

The biggest impression Sinéad O’Connor made on me was her performance at the Bob Dylan tribute show a few days after she ripped up the pope’s pic on SNL. She doubled down on her criticism of the church even while being booed by all of Madison Square Garden - she was 26 & so brave

Anyone who says the killing of Tyre Nichols can’t be about racism because the cops were also Black really doesn’t understand how white supremacy or anti-Blackness work

I can't understand how anybody can listen to trump saying he can declassify anything with his mind and still take that clown seriously.

It’s Labor Day, so here’s a little thread on emotional labor: work that’s done almost exclusively by women and nearly always goes unnoticed.

And yes, men do all kinds of labor too. Congratulations. My recognizing that here is emotional labor performed on your behalf.

Here we go

If for every well intended prayer uttered in hopes of making the world a better place, there was instead a good deed accomplished, the world might look as though those prayers had been answered.

Tonight, in Mineral Wells, Texas

When a @GregAbbott_TX supporter laughs, yes, laughs out loud so everyone could hear, while Beto described the massacre of 19 children and 2 teachers in Uvalde, Beto quite appropriately lets loose with a MF.
Yep.
It was a pretty good one too.

“Trump’s grip on the GOP is slipping” discourse misses the point entirely. Trump the man can lose altitude, but the forces he unleashed have overtaken the whole party. Trump can go away, but a GOP full of cranks and conspiracists will be his enduring legacy.
