@thejackhopkins You’re right. I keep getting knocked down, literally & figuratively, & I just keep getting up*. Physically, I don’t know if I can take much more, but, like magic, I get up again😊
Promise, I’ll keep on keepin’ on.
(*LOL, like GUMBY😁)
One thing these indictments all prove is that we need a Constitutional Amendment that ends the Electoral College and makes the winner of our future Presidential elections the person who got the most votes. We did the 18 year old voting right in just over a year. Let's try it.
Michelle and I will always be grateful for Clarence’s friendship and wise counsel. Our thoughts are with his family and everyone whose life was touched by a truly remarkable man.
@thejackhopkins His dad managed a bar and worked with his brothers loan sharking crew with connections to the mob.
Really all we need to know.
Maybe, it was a social club...drink a few beers and bust a couple of legs🤷♂️
Occasionally, you’ll hear someone say, “Damn. How could someone like Rudy Giuliani fall so far?! He was such a respectable guy at one time!”
Don’t you dare fall for that. Rudy is who he’s always been. Trump just put him in situations that revealed his true nature. You don’t “suddenly” turn into a career criminal in your seventies. You don’t.
It will take all of us coming together and doing what we can to help those in need in Maui and Lāhainā right now. I hope you’ll join me in donating to the Hawai'i Red Cross today: https://t.co/CPtVJ8fGSq
🚨 BREAKING President Biden has moved with urgency and approved a disaster declaration for Hawaii and “ordered federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the areas affected by wildfires."
I know I am biased, but I don't think I have ever seen an administration move quicker on emergency situations like this than the Biden Administration. And it doesn't matter whether it's a blue state or red state. There is urgency and help sent.
👏 👏 👏
An unarmed black man walks away from law enforcement.
Cops shoot him.
GOP: "Well, if he just complied, this wouldn't have happened."
A likely armed white man threatens to kill several public officials, including the President of the United States.
Cops shoot him.
GOP: "This is truly a disgrace! Should have never happened! Morality in America is dead!"

Coming up: the disclosure filing extensions for Justices Alito and Thomas end soon.
Why the extensions in the first place?
We’ll see soon, but here’s what ought to be happening:
Two weeks before he launched his campaign for president, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a big union-busting bill.
This bill was bad: Five Republican senators crossed DeSantis and voted against it.
But I don’t think most folks realize just how bad it is...

Another delay in Florida
Trump co-defendant Carlos De Oliveira still doesn’t have local counsel… in classified documents case.
Next hearing date set for Aug 15
The evidence shows @TTuberville was an integral part of the coup plot. He should be charged for every crime that the facts of his involvement could support and if convicted, when it comes time to sentence him, he should get the max and no bail pending appeal.
It’s tough to see some of the images coming out of Hawai’i — a place that’s so special to so many of us. Michelle and I are thinking of everyone who has lost a loved one, or whose life has been turned upside down.
If you’d like to help, you can do so here.

Trump is only going to become louder and more aggressive until his ability to do so is significantly modified. My prediction about how this will happen, is that Judge Chutkan will first hit him with a gag order. We all know that this will have no impact on Trump.
However, being the intelligent and experienced judge that she is, Chutkan will go this route first, I suspect, to avoid the “She went straight for detention” cries from Trump’s lawyers. Then, after he flagrantly violates the gag order, she will incarcerate him.
Timeline? I’m staying away from that. I’ll just stick with saying I am confident that those things are going to happen, at some point. The idea that he makes it to trial…without that happening….borders on being a hallucination of the most vivid type. Clearly, I think we can all agree….that the sooner, the better.
In order to fill Feinstein’s Judiciary seat while she’s out, Democrats need to have unanimous consent — the agreement of all senators — or, failing that, 60 votes in support. With Feinstein out, that means Democrats would need the backing of every Democrat and independent in the Senate, plus at least 10 Republicans.
