It’s only the first day, but the judge in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation and battery trial against Donald Trump, has ALREADY appeared to lose patience with Trump’s failure to disclose whether he would appear in person.
Just hours into author E. Jean Carroll’s defamation and battery trial against Trump, the judge appeared to have already lost his patience with Trump’s failure to confirm whether he’ll appear in person.
I have a lot more I can say about this trial that I can’t fit on Twitter. Would you consider doing me a favor and signing up for my free podcast? justaskthequestion.com

NOW: Donald Trump is apparently facing more scrutiny. The Committee on Oversight and Reform is trying to determine whether Trump distorted U.S. foreign policy to serve his own financial interests "at the expense of the American people and in violation of his oath of office."

HONORED: I didn't have @RepRaskin "Jamie Raskin speaks before Congress on why I was locked up in jail" on my 2022 bingo card, but hey, I appreciate it. This is important. 🧵
In 1990 and 1991, I went to jail four different times to protect confidential sources while working as a TV reporter.
The last time I went to jail for nearly two weeks while the Supreme Court considered my case, and was only spared a long sentence when my source moved from Texas to California, and no longer fearing for her life, came forward.
Now: From @JoeBiden in tonight's speech:
"In this battle for the soul of America, democracy prevailed.
We the People voted. Faith in our institutions held. The integrity of our elections remains intact.
And so, now it is time to turn the page. To unite. To heal."
"If anyone didn’t know it before, we know it now. What beats deep in the hearts of the American people is this: Democracy.
The right to be heard. To have your vote counted. To choose the leaders of this nation. To govern ourselves." @JoeBiden
In America, politicians don’t take power — the people grant it to them.
The flame of democracy was lit in this nation a long time ago. And we now know that nothing — not even a pandemic —or an abuse of power — can extinguish that flame. @JoeBiden
