Joe Biden getting the endorsement of every living member of the Kennedy family while running against Trump-spoiler RFK Jr is a top-tier political flex that deserves more attention.

Pro-life just not yours

Judge Merchan has things back on track: 12 jurors selected, 6 alternates to go. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

This is bizarre. It also suggests Trump won't take his lawyers advice about the little things, which bodes poorly for him as we get to trial & larger things, like whether he'll testify, loom.

I don't think she'll make it onto the jury...

This reminds me that after discussions about the idea with many colleagues, I wrote this piece for The Washington Post suggesting the civil cases against Trump might prove as formidable as criminal ones for bringing accountability, way back in 2021. washingtonpost.com/outlook/civil-…

Jury Math

We are down to 5 jurors

I can't help but contemplate that jurors are concerned about being publicly identified in a case involving a former president. Typically, you would only see that happen in a case involving violent organized crime.

Two SCOTUS cases you need to know about. open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

The Supreme Court heard oral argument in two cases this week, one about prosecuting public officials for corruption and the other about the obstruction of official proceedings statute that Trump is charged with in the DC case. open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

Trump wants his cut

Trump is now 're-truthing' fake allegations about jurors. A full jury isn't even sworn in and he's already coming for them.

I keep citing this because I think it’s a really important data point.
