Aleksey Navalny was a fearless advocate for his beliefs who died unbroken by the tyranny he opposed. He fought corruption, inspired millions and never wavered in his insistence on free expression, the rule of law, and a Russia that is accountable to the people and not a dictator. He died in unyielding defense of his vision of a better future for his country - a vision, and a courageous example, that will never die.
BREAKING NEWS: Judge Engoron CUT OFF Donald Trump in mid sentence as he spoke during closing arguments.
This will not end well for Donald. Here are the details:
When Donald's team asked if he could speak, Engoron asked Donald if he would stick to the facts of the case. Donald started speaking without the judge's question.
He proceeded to attack the case, and accuse AG Letitia James of election interference, before Engoron pleaded with Donald's lawyer to "control" his client, and left the courtroom claiming that James owed him damages.
Once again, Donald was given more leeway that no other defendant would ever be given but in the end, this absurd rant won't help him.
BREAKING NEWS: You may have heard Donald’s gag order was reinstated in his civil trial, but the media hasn’t covered two CRUCIAL aspects of this important Appellate decision.
You have to hear the court room antics and then what a legal expert just told me that left me celebrating: 👇
First is what happened in the court room when Judge Engoron gave Donald’s lawyers the news that Donald was RE-GAGGED.
Chris Kise shot back “It's a tragic day for the rule of law.”
Engoron stared him down and quipped, “it is what it is.”
Second, I just handed the Appellate decision to a legal expert and he thinks JAIL is in Donald’s future for some really good reasons.
You’ll want your 🍿.

Last week, I sat down with some old friends at @PodSaveAmerica to reflect on the 15th anniversary of the 2008 election, the work our Obama alumni are doing, and the state of our democracy. Check out our conversation: https://t.co/KLJgPz5S8T
Wealth will NEVER trickle down to you.
It’s a Republican lie.
The goal is to make the wealthy wealthier and leave everybody else fighting over scraps.
