Trump's lawyers asked for E. Jean Carroll's consent to delay the $5 million awarded to her.
Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, informed Trump's team that "Carroll does not consent."

Just calling Danny Glover an actor seems insufficient when he has led such a remarkable life of political activism and leftist solidarity. I don't think people even realize what an impact he has had. His activism section wikipedia is as long as his filmography.
In an unprecedented act of dissent, active-duty USAF Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps after calling for the impeachment & removal of Donald Trump. Risking his career to uphold his constitutional oath, his arrest marks a historic moment. ✊🏻✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊🏽
