💥Here we go! More than 1,800 pages of documents unsealed by Judge Chutkan in U.S. v. Trump!

1/ Here it is!

2/

💥 Bam! Did I just break the code? Time is ACTUALLY on our side.

The excuse the media has given to not covering Donald’s disgraces and felonies is that it’s old news. He brazened through. That’s what the Biden-Harris team needs to do. Hold the line.

1/ The breathless endless stories will actually end. They will stop asking if he is going to drop out. And then we can move on. We can UNITE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.

2/

🚨 BREAKING! A jury found Donald Trump on 34 felony counts five weeks ago and neither the @nytimes nor the @washingtonpost editorial boards have called on him to drop out of the presidential race.

1/ 🚨 BREAKING! It’s been 3 1/2 years since Donald incited a violent crowd to attack the Capitol to prevent the official declaration of Biden-Harris the winners of the 2020 election and NONE of the national news outlets have called on him to drop out

2/

Everything we do every day is helping reelect Donald Trump. Everything. All of us. We are all to blame. The numbers don’t care about our feelings, our “better”education, our moral superiority, our nuanced analysis. He is in line to win.

Jerusalem March 1978. Shortly after the Coast Road massacre by the PLO. The purpose of the attack killing 38 civilians, including 13 children was to derail the peace talks between Egypt's Anwar Sadat and Israel's Menachem Begin.

Several months later, in October 1978 the Sadat and Begin received the Nobel Peace Prize. And in 1979 the two nations (Egypt and Israel) entered into a peace treaty.

Beautiful statement from @Harvard President Claudine Gay on "Combating Antisemitism."

harvard.edu/president/news… "Finally, I have heard concerns from some about how this important work relating to antisemitism will bear on Harvard’s vital commitment to free expression. Combating antisemitism and fostering free expression are mutually consistent goals."

Counsel for MN voters, @ronfein: is a case of extraordinary importance." Trump engaged in insurrection and rebellion against the Constitution of the United States

"Today, this Court stands in the way and rolls back decades of precedent and momentous progress. It holds that race can no longer be used in a limited way in college admissions to achieve such critical benefits.

1/ "In so holding, the Court cements a superficial rule of colorblindness as a constitutional principle in an endemically segregated society where race has always mattered and continues to matter.

Look. No one really knows when the Department of Justice will charge Donald Trump with federal felonies related to document hoarding and destruction at Mar-a-Lago (and beyond).

1/ However, all of the legal experts expect that the next indictment is coming in the coming weeks if not days. “Next” — because, in case you’d forgotten, a Manhattan grand jury indicted Donald back in March on 30 state criminal counts.

The SEC just sued Binance Holdings Ltd (Binance) a company registered in Cayman that operates the world’s largest crypto exchange & founder Changpeng Zhao alleging “blatant disregard of the federal securities laws and the investor and market protections these laws provide"

1/ Zhao founded the business in 2017 and by 2021, the platform accounted for $7.7 trillion in crypto exchange volume. Plus, since July of 2017, Binance.com and Binance.US alone allegedly earned at least $11.6 billion in revenue from U.S. customers

My guest today on #BookedUp is David de Jong, the author of a mindblowing new narrative nonfiction book called Nazi Billionaires: The Dark History of Germany’s Wealthiest Dynasties.

1/ NAZI BILLIONAIRES puts the lie to the often-heard claims by descendants and apologists for the industrialists who collaborated for profit with Hilter. You’ve heard them too.That these business leaders did not know what was going on at the concentration and extermination camps

Judge Lewis Kaplan lays down the law. Donald Trump has until Friday to file a response to E. Jean Carroll's letter (from Monday). And he has until June 5th to reply to her motion to amend the complaint (originally filed in 2019).

1/ Read that letter here. Page 1

I’m watching so you don’t have to. And I plan to drag the advertisers. Disgusting. Lots of applause from the audience for the convicted sex abuser and defamer.

Hooboy—

I’m watching this so you don’t have to Globalists and Marxists. Fake news media.

💰On the Money: Orange Collar Crime Edition

With the Grand Jury Poised to Indict How is Donald Sleeping at Night?

1/ Last night Mary Trump and I spoke with Mehdi Hasan about the looming indictment of her uncle. While we did not broach the subject of how Donald is sleeping, given his ALL CAPS rants on Truth Social, I don’t imagine he’s getting much solid rest. What a shame.

💰I wrote this Silicon Valley Bank explainer just for you —

“As the saying goes, the rich privatize their profits and socialize their losses. Just like there are no atheists in foxholes, there are no capitalists in bank collapses”

@monthly

washingtonmonthly.com/2023/03/16/ban… “Here we go again—bank failures followed by government bailouts. So many of us said this would happen, and it did. We told Congress to resist the siren call of Silicon Valley and Wall Street, but they didn’t. And now, here we are.”

Today I was ready

With E. Jean Carroll’s case beginning next month, I’m thinking a lot about the courage it takes to confront your rapist in court.

This morning, for the first time since a terrible night in 1985, I contacted mine. I am trying to get a dialogue going.

1/ The first time I shared my story publicly in 2018 during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.

It was difficult to be so exposed, but I thought it was important for myself and others. You may have read that.

💰Popular restaurant chains are allegedly cheating employees out of hard-earned overtime pay. Hours worked above 40 per week usually should be paid out at time-and-a-half. Yet many folks get paid nothing at all for that extra time. That’s right. Not a penny.

1/ Employers do this, according to a new story by Noam Scheiber in the New York Times, by giving a worker the title of “manager,” while actually treating them like an ordinary hourly employee.

💯Guys, I’m still fuming. It’s been two days since I listened to oral arguments in the two cases challenging President Biden’s student loan debt relief plan.

(I took the photo below in July 2022)

1/ More than 26 million borrowers have applied and over 16 million have been approved. As a parent with a PLUS loan, I am one of them. And I’m angry.

💯High energy and hopeful message. "We're just getting started," @POTUS @JoeBiden

Gutsy. "I'll see you at the groundbreaking," he said to the Republicans who did not vote for the infrastructure law but are happy to take the money and build the projects.

#SOTU #DarkBrandon "We're building back pride."
That's the line. That's the message. Thank you, Joe.

❤️ Kvelling that Michael Kuch's The Little River was among the books displayed in the "Making the Modern Book: The Aramont Library at the Library of Congress" symposium.

@librarycongress

1/ The Little River (published in 2013) received two awards at the UK Fine Press Book Fair in Oxford England, both The Judges’ Choice Award and the Parrot Prize for the best illustrated book printed in the last two years, an unprecedented achievement.
