What happened with Weinstein just reinforces to women that we don’t matter and we basically have to walk around with recording crews if we want to be believed when we get attacked.

It’s a chilly Friday morning in Manhattan, where Day 4 of Donald Trump’s criminal trial on 34 felony counts for falsification of business records is set to resume.

I’m here to cover the trial for Lawfare.

The fact that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife was one of the organizers of Donald Trump’s armed insurrection should be mentioned every time SCOTUS is in the news, IMHO.

Everyone knew about Harvey Weinstein. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about the Catholic priests. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

Blistering The Washington Post
editorial from conservative Robert Kagan on Trump and democracy: “A healthy republic would not be debating whether Trump and his followers seek the overthrow of the Founders’ system of liberal democracy. What more do people need to see than his…

Today, the Supreme Court dispelled any lingering hope that it might prove to be an honest broker of the law.

It is not.

So, not surprisingly, it is once again up to us.

Vote. Because our democracy depends on it.

Hi, the Supreme Court isn’t an actual court. It’s six paid operatives pretending to consider arguments while overturning laws for money.

Hope that helps clear up what happened today.

Today’s SCOTUS argument on Trump’s criminal immunity revealed an activist conservative majority that wants to provide presidential immunity. To do so, they must get around Nixon v Fitzgerald (1982), which clearly states there is no criminal immunity for presidents. For example,…

Sorry sorry… did I just read that right? Harvey Weinstein has his rape conviction overturned because his lawyers have said there was too much bad character evidence and too many women came forward with their own experiences?

Fucking spare me. Honest to god. The state of this…

In American men like Harvey Weinstein and Donald Trump can get away with rape for decades, but women can't get healthcare.

Between four trials and multiple additional hearings in GA, DC, and FL, I've seen a lot of lawyering in the Trump cases, and not all of it good. But today's direct and cross examinations of David Pecker were the sort of things you'd want to show law students.

The fact that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife was one of the organizers of Donald Trump’s armed insurrection should be mentioned every time SCOTUS is in the news, IMHO.

The assassination of political rivals as an official act.

Understand what the Trump team is arguing for here. Take it seriously and at face value.

This is not a game.

love to listen to Supreme Court oral arguments about fun hypotheticals like “if you have a womb is it possible you aren’t a person” and “should we have a king”

No longer primarily a jurist, but a far-right ideologue who is using his positon to help an autocracy come into being. This is how he will be seen later.

Justice Thomas’ refusal to recuse himself at this morning’s Trump immunity hearing marks another historic low in the high court’s ethics. His moral decay infects the entire Court. It demonstrates the need for a code of ethics mandated by Congress w/a real enforcement mechanism.

Everyone knew about Harvey Weinstein. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about the Catholic priests. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

Katie's Sidebar: Timing is everything.

This Arizona indictment has now dropped on the eve of oral arguments before SCOTUS on Donald Trump's (absurd) position that he has presidential criminal immunity.

Recall: Trump's DC federal criminal case is premised on criminal charges…

The RNC's senior counsel for election integrity was indicted today in Arizona for election conspiracy and fraud.

You can't make this up.
