Former President Donald Trump has announced he will not testify in his New York fraud trial on Monday as planned

Former President Donald Trump has announced he will not testify in his New York fraud trial on Monday as planned

In a wild, lengthy, all-caps statement on his Truth Social platform Sunday, the former president declared that because he has already testified in the case and believes the case to be “RIGGED,” he will not take the stand.

So it took a fraud trial to finally make Trump shut the f=ck up. - Andy Borowitz

My Heart Breaks For Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy witnessed the swearing-in on Sunday of Argentina’s new president, Javier Milei.

It was the Ukrainian leader’s first official trip to Latin America as Kyiv continues to court support among developing nations for its 21-month-old fight against Russia’s invading forces.

Delaying a vote on aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan will do great damage to America's reputation as a reliable global leader in a very dangerous world. Delay is a gift to Putin, XI, and the mullahs in Iran. The stakes are very high. No time to be playing logroll politics. - Michael McFaul

Will SCOTUS Give Trump Immunity?

Special Counsel Jack Smith on Monday asked the Supreme Court to immediately take up former President Trump’s federal 2020 election criminal case, urging the justices to weigh in on Trump’s immunity defense.

Trump is attempting to toss the case by arguing he has presidential immunity from the four-count indictment, which accuses him of entering multiple criminal conspiracies to subvert the 2020 election results.

Ken Paxton said mask mandates were a violation of “liberty and individual choice” and an example of “government overreach”, but forcing a woman to carry a nonviable fetus despite threats to her health is not.

This ain’t about liberty.
This is about men controlling women.
Period. - JoJoFromJerz

Mike Johnson, in claiming God choosing him as "a new Moses" for a "Red Sea moment" is far more than deep delusions of grandeur. Anyone who believes/whose followers believe he's somehow "chosen by God" is/wants to/is trying to be – a cult leader. This man is profoundly dangerous. - DrJackBrown

New trains, new tracks: US rail to get much-needed facelift

New trains, new tracks: US rail to get much-needed facelift

Old-fashioned, slow, infrequent and often non-existent, trains have long been the poor relation of cars and planes in the United States.

President Joe Biden's administration is hoping to change that as it unveils major rail investments on Friday including the United States' first high-speed train -- between Los Angeles and Las Vegas -- which it aims to complete by 2028.

Anyone who's traveled to Europe, China, Japan know they put the US to shame on train travel. So glad to see President Biden taking the long view here. - Janice Hough

Since Mike Johnson became Speaker of the House:

- 1 House Republican was expelled

- 2 Republicans in leadership retired

- 3 Republicans quit before their term ends

- 10 Republicans announced they wouldn’t seek reelection - Sawyer Hackett

Yes, Biden Calls Out Trump's Atrocious Rhetoric!

President Joe Biden lashed out at former President Donald Trump with a vivid denunciation of Trump’s behavior on Jan. 6 in some of his sharpest attacks of the campaign so far...He called those who oppose him “vermin,” language that echoes what we heard in Nazi Germany in the ‘30s...He threatened to use the American military on the streets of America to go after his political opponents...He called, again, to get the Affordable Care Act, which supports Indian Health Services, eliminated. This will be the 51st time they tried it.

The more obvious it becomes that Trump is finished (senility, prison), the more his handlers try to cover for it by leaking scary things about what he’ll do when he’s magically in charge again. Their goal is to paralyze you with panic and fear. Don’t take the bait. - Palmer Report

FYI: Attorney General Ken Paxton’s securities fraud trial set for April 15. He faces 99 plus years in prison. - Jack Hopkins

I Didn't Know Ken Paxton Was A Doctor. Spoiler: He Isn't!

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton threatened to prosecute any doctors who perform an abortion on a woman after a state judge ruled she may obtained one due to medical necessity.

On Thursday, Judge Maya Guerra Gamble issued a temporary restraining order in favor of 31-year-old Kate Cox, who is 20 weeks pregnant. The order allows a doctor to perform an abortion without being subject to civil or criminal penalties. Abortion is banned in Texas from the moment of conception with few exceptions.

Women of Texas: Ken Paxton & the Texas GOP have just told you that they are fine with murdering you & imprisoning your doctors for trying to save your life. Men: If your wife was pregnant & the baby became unviable, do you still believe she has to carry it until she dies from it? - RussellFosterTX

Hunter Biden Indicted On Nine Tax Charges That They Didn't Indict Him For The Last Time. Move Along, Nothing To See Here.
Hunter Biden was indicted on nine tax charges in California as a special counsel investigation into the business dealings of President Joe Biden's son intensifies against the backdrop of the 2024 election...The charges are centered on at least $1.4 million in taxes Hunter Biden owed during between 2016 and 2019, a period where he has acknowledged struggling with addiction. The back taxes have since been paid.

Just a reminder that at any time Biden could, without restriction, pardon his son for both indictments.

He could intervene to order DOJ to back off.

He could denounce the Special Counsel and spew political invective.

He has done none of those things.

--Bradley P. Moss

If wealthy people had to use the same legal representation and had the same legal fund cap that the average citizen has to use…the number of wealthy people who are convicted felons would jump at least 900%….fast. - Jack Hopkins

Mike Johnson Compares Himself to Moses While Claiming God Led Him to ‘Red Sea Moment’ for the House GOP

Mike Johnson Compares Himself to Moses While Claiming God Led Him to ‘Red Sea Moment’ for the House GOP

House Speaker Mike Johnson leaned heavily into his religious convictions as he drew a connection between himself and the prophet Moses.

If Mike Johnson doesn't believe this, he's a manipulative cynic. If he does, he's psychotic. Either way, he'a a massive megalomaniac.

If he wants to pretend he's Moses, he can start by removing himself to the desert for 40 years. - Mary L. Trump

Putin Is So Pleased...
U.S. Senate leaders vowed on Thursday to keep trying to reach an agreement to provide billions of dollars in new security aid to Ukraine, but faced uncertainty about doing so quickly after Republicans blocked a sweeping foreign security assistance bill.

History will judge us harshly if we turn our back on freedom’s cause in Ukraine.

We can’t let Putin win. - President Biden

How sad it is that some individuals believe that scientists, scholars, historians, economists, and journalists have devoted their entire lives to deceiving them, while a reality TV star with decades of fraud & exhaustively documented lying is their only beacon of truth & honesty. - Alicia

Anyone Taking Bets That The Speaker Is Going To Somehow, Someway, Abuse This?
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is taking heat from the hard-right conservative wing of his conference over the addition of a short-term extension of the nation’s warrantless surveillance powers in the defense authorization bill.

In most countries, if someone thinks that they are Moses, they get mental health treatment but in the United States they get to be speaker of the house. - Dave Matt

24 hrs. of listening to MSNBC fawn over Liz Cheney and pine for the grand old days of her father’s Republican Party has made me ill. FFS people! Have we forgotten who Dick Cheney was and what the party was like while he was in power? - Dave_H64

Big Shoutout To This Brave Texas Judge

A Texas judge on Thursday granted a pregnant woman permission to obtain an abortion in an unprecedented challenge to the state’s ban that took effect after Roe v. Wade was overturned last year.

It was unclear how quickly or whether Kate Cox, a 31-year-old mother of two from the Dallas area, would be able to obtain an abortion.

A Texas judge has granted a pregnant woman permission to have an abortion and the state will likely appeal.

It’s beyond disgusting that a judge or anyone can instruct a woman or block her from making choices about her health and body. Fascist republicans must be stopped. - Ricky Davila

What kind of sh-thole country forces a woman to beg a judge’s permission to have healthcare. - Jeff Tiedrich

The company said it will open its first CosMc's location in Illinois this month, with plans to open additional restaurants in 2024.
