Re Judge Chutkan's decision today to set a Trump trial date of March 4th, as I noted yesterday:
"We should thank Black women for doing what a bunch of white guys have failed to do for years: hold Donald Trump, hold a former president, accountable."
How far we have fallen.
The leading Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, thinks that Putin is a “Genius” for invading Ukraine.
The person in the second place, Ron DeSantis, thinks that the war in Ukraine is merely a “border dispute.”
Vivek Ramaswamy, who’s in third place, says he’d let war criminal Putin keep parts of Ukraine and will block Ukraine from joining NATO.
Vote only for candidates who support the people of Ukraine in the fight for freedom.
I did, in fact, read the transcript, and Goldman is right. The Republicans on the Oversight Committee are expecting their loyalists won’t read it. Archer openly said he had nothing on President Biden.
While we wait for the Trump January 6th indictment, I do want to suggest this:
Jack Smith has done more for American democracy in 8 months than the Republican Party has done in 8 years.
@SpeakerMcCarthy This Congress, Kevin McCarthy has:
✅ Failed to expel George Santos;
✅ Failed to help the Central Valley; and
✅ Failed to pass common sense gun reform.
We deserve a leader, not a fraud. Help me defeat McCarthy: https://t.co/uLt2bqWeTX
@SpeakerMcCarthy Um… Bakersfield CA is your district, right?

Pete Buttigieg is in another league.
They once asked him about how he’d respond to Donald Trump taking swipes at marriages like his.
His answer is one for the books:
“The idea of the likes of Donald Trump lecturing anybody on family values…
I mean, I’m sorry but one thing about my marriage is it’s never involved me having to send hush money to a porn star after cheating on my spouse, with him or her.
So, if they want to debate family values, let’s debate family values, I’m ready.”
Pete Buttigieg gives me hope for the future. He just has a great way of communicating.
Anyone else feel that way?
Josh Hawley is asking you for $30 to read his "Manhood" book. I'm asking you for $10 to help me chase him out of the U.S. Senate.

Discrimination is wrong.
Using religion as an excuse to discriminate is wrong - and unconstitutional.
The Court’s minority is right: the Constitution is no license for a business to discriminate.
Today’s ruling will move America backward.
Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.
Turner Classic Movies has been a fixture in my life for as long as I can remember. It’s a holy corner of film history — and a living, breathing library for an entire art form. Please don’t fuck with @tcm. https://t.co/k37stLFOTN
To repeat what I just said about Judge Aileen Cannon on @Morning_Joe, if a surgeon had botched your first operation, would you hire that surgeon to do your second operation?
Great! Surely, the $37 billion COVID relief surplus was earmarked to be returned either way. But how about the staggering $1.7 trillion tax giveaway that fueled mega-yachts and private jet indulgences for the mega-rich?
Nullify it, and we're looking at a 45-fold taxpayer benefit. What say you, Kevin? Or would you rather cut the $6 per day in food assistance for fellow Americans and their children who need it the most?
