NEW: Judge Engoron just slapped a $5,000 fine on Donald Trump for violating his gag order by not removing a post that attacked one of the judge’s clerks & said there will be even “more severe sanctions” if Trump violates the gag order again. This is how it’s done. Bravo.
20 October 1939 | A French Jewish boy, Albert Klochendler, was born in Paris.
In August 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.
Fulton DA Fani Willis is NOT playing around.
After getting Sidney "The Kraken" Powell to plead guilty yesterday and flip on trump and other co-defendants, Kenneth Cheseboro (so-called architect of the scheme to overturn votes) has also flipped with his guilty plea.
This is a very big deal. These people are getting extremely light punishments, which means they're giving the prosecution a TON.
Who's next to flip?
Today, we wrapped up the third week of our trial against Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.
Trump can keep spreading rumors.
Trump can keep lying.
But the truth always prevails.⤵️
19 October 1934 | Dutch Jewish girl Else Hahn was born in Rotterdam.
In September 1943 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.
The #FBI has ID'd many who incited violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, but it still needs your help to bring others to justice. If the person in this photo looks familiar, submit a tip at https://t.co/LRUnRA40bG or 1-800-CALL-FBI, and mention photo #259-AFO. #DemVoice1

Anyone seen MAGA Republicans denouncing threats of violence against those Republicans opposed to Jordan?
The threats, intimidation, and violence adjacent to MAGA are a feature of MAGA, not a bug.
October 7, a sacred Jewish holiday, became the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
It has brought to the surface painful memories and scars left by a millennia of antisemitism and genocide of the Jewish people.
Terrorists will not win. Freedom will win.
Republican members of Congress are having to hire security for their children and their spouses after voting against Jim Jordan.
Tell me again MAGA isn’t a terrorist organization
So, Jim Jordan just met with every one of the 22 Republicans who voted against him yesterday after he announced he will pursue ANOTHER round of voting & ALL 22 Republicans told him they wouldn't back his candidacy today. And they never will. Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker now.
Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win.
It's happening again: Republican Rep. Ken Buck says his votes against Jim Jordan for speaker have resulted in death threats.
"So far I've had four death threats."
Buck tells @NBCNews he will not change his vote on future ballots.
Right now, House Republicans have nominated an insurrectionist to be Speaker of the House— an act perilous to our Democracy.
The cure is for people to vote and for their votes to be counted as cast. Democrats will organize For The People to #DefendOurDemocracy. -NP
Sidney Powell’s actions and lies undermined our democracy, endangered election workers, and compromised a voting system.
And now she’s pled guilty.
Justice may take time, but today it was served. And we await judgment in Donald Trump’s own cases in court.
19 October 1933 | Dutch Jewish boy, Herman Rudolf Odewald, was born in Amstedam.
He was deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork in February 1944. He was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.
REMINDER To the people in the back who are busy blaming Democrats for not bailing Republicans out of their idiocy:
- You call us communists.
- You call us groomers.
- You vote against our bills, and then try to take credit for them when they pass because they're great.
- You insult our President while he's conducting critical foreign policy.
- You nominate THE WORST GUY who hasn't passed a bill, and knew all about January 6th.
- And you want to shut down the government AND you're trying to kill Social Security and Medicare.
And you expect US to bail YOU out?
Where were YOU for Speaker Pelosi in 2007 or 2021? NONE of you voted for her.
I'm sick and tired of people letting Republicans act as crazy as they want without repercussions, and then blaming Democrats for not being MORE adult.
The House is broken because Republicans are idiots who cannot legislate.
PERIOD.
Ohio, there’s an important election happening right now.
If you want to protect abortion rights by making them part of your state Constitution, vote yes on Issue 1.
