Two Of Trump's Lawyers Skedaddle.

Former President Trump on Friday announced a significant change in his legal team representing him in the case of whether he mishandled classified documents, one day after he was indicted by the Justice Department.

Trump posted on Truth Social that he will be represented by attorney Todd Blanche moving forward, “and a firm to be named later.” Attorneys Jim Trusty and John Rowley will no longer represent Trump in the case, he said.

I'm Surprised That China Didn't Already Have a Spy Facility In Cuba.

Cuba has agreed to allow China to build a spying facility on the island that could allow the Chinese to eavesdrop on electronic communications across the southeastern US, a source familiar with the intelligence told CNN.

The US learned about the plan in the last several weeks, the source said, and it is unclear whether China has already begun building the surveillance facility.

Imagine That, A PR Firm for Ron DeSantis Has Ethics!

The Ron DeSantis-connected PR shop Clout Public Affairs has dropped the PGA Tour as a client, after it announced its plans to merge with the Saudi-funded LIV Golf.

The firm had been working with both the PGA Tour and the families of 9/11 victims who had been agitating against LIV Golf for its Saudi ties. It was one of a number of public relations or lobbying shops that had cashed in on the high-profile feud between the storied PGA Tour and the controversial upstart LIV Golf.

In a 5-4 decision, the court affirmed a lower ruling that ordered the GOP-led state to create a new map with an additional majority-Black district.

Nikki Haley Touts Her Cruel Side

Republican presidential candidates like Nikki Haley clearly see transgender youth as political targets – chum for an easily fearmongered voting base addicted to cruelty.

The former South Carolina governor, during a CNN town hall Sunday, made a fact-free and vile connection between the existence of transgender youth and the rise in suicides among teenage girls: “How are we supposed to get our girls used to the fact that biological boys are in their locker rooms? And then they wonder why a third of our teenage girls seriously contemplated suicide last year.”

The Trump town hall destroyed CNN's ratings.  The only solution is to give other right-wing Republicans their own town halls. - DougJBalloon tweet

Texas Sheriff Messes With DeSantis

A Texas sheriff recommended charges on Monday over a stunt by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in which migrants from the southern border were sent to affluent Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts.

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office announced on Monday that it had “officially filed a completed criminal case with the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office regarding the incident from September 2022 where 49 migrants were flown to Martha’s Vineyard.”

It Doesn't Sound Too Good Over At CNN

CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy didn’t hold back in his Reliable Sources newsletter on Monday, which questioned CNN CEO Chris Licht’s “judgment” and “ability to lead,” and revealed that many CNN staffers want Licht gone.

In his newsletter, Darcy called The Atlantic’s Friday profile of Licht “blistering” and “embarrassing,” and wrote that it “called into serious question Licht’s judgment, his ability to lead the network’s staff, and his overall professional capabilities as CNN’s top executive.”

It would be so cool if Ron DeSantis got arrested for kidnapping and human trafficking on the same day Trump gets indicted for espionage and treason. - TheUSASingers tweet
