By a unanimous jury in district court in DC in July 2022, Bannon was found guilty of contempt of Congress for failing to respond to his lawful and served subpoena from the January 6 investigation. He was sentenced to four months and last week, the DC Circuit denied his appeal . . . which...

Okay yeah - this needs to be on the front page of every paper in the country.

LOL - this guy is so pathetic.

RIP. It’s crazy that these senators just stay in office literally on their death bed.

Annual federal appropriations will lapse on September 30, 2023 - now less than a month away. After the debt-ceiling fight, many anticipated that the FY 2024 funding battle could see a federal government shutdown of some length as Republicans push for more budget cuts . . . and that was before...

First post since January 8, 2021.

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment:There is a growing movement in some states to conclude that Trump is already disqualified under the 14th Amendment and they may remove him from the ballot. This would set-up legal challenges from Trump that could end up at the SCOTUS.The 14A...

Trump and Eastman appear to be preparing to be indicted. It’s probably better to have a new, separate thread for this case.

This is happening elsewhere. Republicans have engineered supermajorities despite having very minor majorities statewide and regional minorities. And with their supermajorities, they’re changing many previously elected positions to appointments - free from interference by voters in cyclical...

Have fun, be safe - be free!

We don’t seem to have a thread on the story of the Air Guardsman who obtained and distributed troves of classified US material - seen as one of the most detrimental leaks to US national security ever. Some, like Tucker Carlson and Marge Green have defended Teixeira, even lauding him as a hero...

This is wildly forked up. This guy clearly intended to go kill protesters and deliberately instigate a situation that would appear to allow him to use stand your ground defense. The jury rejected that defense (because that’s not how it works!).Abbott can’t wait to pardon him. Holy shirt.

A third white female Democrat that joined in the demonstration was not expelled (saved by a single vote).The Republicans argue that the demonstration for gun control to protest the Nashville school shooting was so out of order that it compels the members’ expulsion.I started a thread...

Guaranteed shirt show - the only question is how embarrassing it will get.

This deviation is so dramatic it must be concluded that it is (a) intentional and (b) marks a substantial change in how the SCOTUS operates in the U.S. legal landscape - and how it influences law far more actively than it ever has.What's particularly remarkable is that the conservative legal...

A final House split of just a few members could see some unusual jockeying going on.Or probably not - but wouldn’t that be something.

The 2022 election will see 36 governor seats filled. The guuanatoiral elections are competitive in 12 of them - that include key swing states, with Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona. Other key states (though with seemingness less competitive races) include Texas...

This is pretty messed up. They called it "College & Career Fair" and offered students (mostly seniors) the option to attend this event - where they would get a day away from classes and free lunch ostensibly to attend a college and career fair.But it wasn't a college and career fair - it was...

Abbott and DeSantis have been loading up undocumented immigrants and sending them on buses and planes to places like DC and even Martha's Vineyard. The immigrants have indicated that they did not know where they were going, and did not even know where they were when interviewed. Abbott and...
