(1) Thread: A place to store links to confirmed info about what is currently called the Texas lawsuit, and/or any related direct-to-SCOTUS cases we need to know about.
It's a waste of time telling me about a court decision or a case filed or talked abt, w/out a proper source.
(2) There's too much unconfirmed info floating about (whether deliberate or accidental) and I think we're all sick and tired of that.
So, as a side effect of trying to meet my own info needs, I'm sharing the info I find, for you.
(3) Please don't assume your readers understand jargon terms and concepts about the finer details of court procedures. Instead of "it's on the docket" tell me what body decided this, when (incl time of day if necessary) & tell me where I can confirm it (ie read a document.)
(4) Links aren't necessary (they can affect how much Twitter throttles you) but at least say where you got the info. Folk can search.
I routinely read documents filed in courts bc the details are very helpful. So I can handle jargon within a document. It's in context.
(5) The official SCOTUS page provides documents pretty smartly, from what I can tell. We need folk to explain what each new development means. Yesterday virtually no one was doing that, reliably.
It appears that Candidate Trump has joined the suit:
(6) I specify Candidate Trump because that's the capacity he is acting in with regard to lawsuits. His campaign website _should_ have prompt and full updates but so far they've been tardy and not covering many parts of all this. I've been speaking out.
(7) My understanding is the lawsuit is a group of states suing a group of states. A state AG is the official who can do this.
Candidate Biden might join. I'm not sure if entities like political parties can, but we'll see.
Nice to finally have this done properly & clearly.
(8) Events are moving so fast I'm going to come back to this thread later. The case is looking stronger by the hour. AZ just asked to join the plaintiffs.
Time to kick back and sip a beverage of choice while watching history being made.
(9) Things are still moving fast regarding this lawsuit.
Someone who has earned my trust in political analysis is @redpillx2. He's providing frequent updates today and answering questions. Highly recommended.

I routinely write about celebrity deaths from a perspective of raising medical awareness & saving lives.
(2) Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers and like others is often treatable if caught early enough.
If you have a known family history of it you should ask your doctor about screening options.
Risk generally increases with age, so those over 60* should do the same.
(3) I say 60 years of age without knowing what the current recommendation is in the US (where most of my readers live. Colon cancer can strike younger people, too.
Most of us never get screening out of fear of discomfort or embarrassment.
(1) A young college student Harrison Deal, working as a field director in Athens, GA for Kelly Loeffler's campaign, is reported dead after a car crash.
In 2018 another young man died in a car crash, & I wrote a thread (see next tweet.)
Please be respectful of the families.
(2) A few weeks after the tragic 2018 death of Eli Stickley I was able to show what happened (see link.)
When you read the first half of the thread & see my comments on DOJ/FBI officials, please note this year I've 180 degrees changed my mind on them.
Harrison Deal was a Kelly Loeffler team staffer & died in a car crash. Loeffler cancelled her rally appearance but Gov Kemp also cancelled his meeting with VP.
There's not a lot of love for Kemp atm. I can't help thinking the mtg would've been useful.
(1) Great to see. A direct-to-the-people Presidential address is exactly what is needed rn. So much misinfo, incl. from some high profile Trump supporters.
Get your info FROM SOURCE.
46m vid, listening to it in the b/g. There will be a transcript, I will paste the link below.
(2) Now, I'm assuming Facebook will pull the video at some stage. Don't worry, you can still see it elsewhere.
If they _don't_ pull the video then that is one small sign that FB isn't as crooked as Twitter. That's not saying much though, lol.
YT:
(3) I'm still looking for a transcript of this President Trump speech, to help me summarize it for you here.
If you don't have enough time to listen to the whole 46 minutes, skip to about 41 minutes in, that's where the summary starts. It's really helpful information.
Thanks for all your suggestions for the list, you can make more of them in the replies and our super-elite panel of female/gay men judges will deliberate on them.
First off... courage and patriotism are sexy:
(2) Our panel also like this cute couple. IKR? It turns out Mike Pence isn't actually a homophobe after all. That will anger the real homophobes, I'm sure.
(3) But the #HotConservativeMan whose presence tonight in prime time reminded me to make this thread is James O'Keefe.
Courageous, patriotic crime fighting is damn sexy.
