Trump facing a criminal trial on March 25 is significant. To understand, review the bidding.

First, before Trump was President, he hid his payments (the hush money) to avoid a criminal indictment then.

Second, he then became President, and said he couldn’t be indicted for his past crimes like the hush money while in office.

Third, he then committed more serious crimes in office (the Mueller report lists 10), and he said he couldn’t be prosecuted for his crimes as a sitting President while in office.

Fourth, he then got voted out of office, and so committed even more crimes to try to stay in office (the Jan. 6 charges, some of the most significant charges in the book), and said he couldn’t be prosecuted for them while he was still President.

Fifth, b/c he couldn't be prosecuted, Congress impeached him and he said he couldn’t be impeached because the only remedy was to prosecute him after he leaves office, not to impeach him.

Sixth, he then leaves office and he’s prosecuted (as per exactly what his lawyers said could happen to him), and he now says he can’t be prosecuted because he is absolutely immune from prosecution for acts while he was President.

Seventh, for crimes he committed when he was NOT President (like the New York ones), he is now saying he can’t be prosecuted for those either, b/c he’s he’s a candidate for President again (as his lawyer argued in court today).

And oh, eighth, he filed a brief in the US Supreme Court today saying because he was not impeached, he can't be convicted.

What is this? What Constitution on earth would permit this?

Help end child poverty!

[Angel Gray @AngelG_WCA]

Child poverty: two words that should never go together. Yet, child poverty in New York State exceeds the national rate, as it has for more than a decade. There are actions to take: this is the year for NY’s leaders to make things better. #nyendchildpoverty @GovKathyHochul

[WestchesterChildren @WCA4kids]

#EmpireStateChildCredit is not available to children under 4. New York State must include its youngest residents in ESCC, as well as eliminate minimum income requirements to support low income families!

Keep kids in school!

[Solutions Not Suspensions @SNS_Coalition]

Did you know that over 900,000 days of in person student instruction were lost to suspensions in 2021-2022? Over 137,000 of New York's children were suspended at least once.
Kids need to be in school. That's why we must pass #SolutionsNotSuspensions in 2023.
