Michael Cohen on the Trump Trial: Prepare To Be Surprised
"We don’t know everything that’s going to be presented?"
"In fact, most people don’t really know anything. They only know what the headlines have been. And as you know very, very well, headlines do not necessarily tell the story"

Trump Violates Gag Order in NY Criminal Case With Attack on Michael Cohen
A panicked Donald Trump continues to test the legal system as his first criminal trial approaches in Manhattan
"Trump is likely to be in for a rude awakening on Monday...His appearance is mandatory, so he will have to be in the courtroom all day, every day, for as long as it takes, with a judge he loathes"
Gee, what a shame...
PS: LockHimUp for violating the gag order:

Trump’s immunity claims tell voters all they need to know about him
"do not shrug off how significant it is that the Supreme Court will soon hear Donald Trump’s claim that presidents should enjoy absolute immunity from prosecution for illegal acts...How the court handles this case involving the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election — and how the country responds — are tests of the nation’s capacity for self-government under the rule of law"

Small-time investors in Trump’s Truth Social reckon with stock collapse
"investing in Truth Social is less a business calculation than a statement of faith in the former president and the business traded under his initials, DJT"
You know, if they had this much faith & willingness to invest in *America*, our nation could actually benefit from them.
But, no...they'd rather blame the libs:

None of This Is Normal
"Taking Trump literally and seriously doesn’t mean taking him credulously. One of the truths of autocrats is that they lie...That’s why the media needs to call a lie a lie, and not worry if doing so appears partisan, while making clear that Trump’s authoritarian agenda would mark a radical break from America as we know it. This isn’t just another normal presidential race:"

The Republican War on Women is Straight Out of the Authoritarian Playbook
"From Fascist Italy forward, abortion bans have opened the door to criminalizing women and monitoring their movements, as today’s Republican push for laws against women traveling out of state for abortions show. Rollbacks of reproductive rights are also an important way that autocrats get support from extremist religious institutions.
Trumpism continues this war on women:"

As Speaker Johnson fails again, Republicans confront 'pure chaos'
"During Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s tenure as House speaker, for example, she literally never lost a “rule” vote. During former Republican Reps. John Boehner’s and Paul Ryan’s tenures, they also never lost such a vote.
Over the last or so year, however, GOP leaders have lost seven “rule” votes: Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy lost three, and incumbent Speaker Johnson has now lost four"

GOP legislators in Arizona balk at effort to undo abortion ruling
So much for “it’ll be straightened out.”
Gov. Katie Hobbs called the failure of House Republicans to advance a repeal bill “unconscionable.” The Democrat’s statement added, “The extremist Republican majority had the chance to do the right thing for their constituents, and they failed. As they have time and again...”
It’s a safe bet we haven’t heard the last of this

Even now, RNC prioritizes election denialism
"Trump campaign officials conceded that prospective RNC hires have been asked about their support for election conspiracy theories...
Republican National Committee last week sent out a scripted call to voters’ phones on behalf of new co-chair Lara Trump saying Democrats committed 'massive fraud' in the 2020 election...
What was that Lara Trump was saying about the party leaving its bonkers conspiracy theories 'in the past'?"

Ross Douthat Is Wrong About What Caused a Powerful Pro-Abortion Backlash
"Anti-abortion activists can’t blame their problems on Trump or teen anomie or even the decline in what they regard as authentic Christianity. A majority of Americans really do think women should be in charge of their reproductive systems, and thanks to the long-time domination of the Republican Party by anti-abortion extremists, they don’t trust the GOP to reflect their values on this issue:"
