This effort on behalf of a 13-year old rape victim is close to its goal. Let’s get it over the finish line. Fundraiser by Regina D : Support “Ashley” from the TIME article gofund.me/f85909e6

Regina told me today that the family will use these funds for clothes, milk, diapers and necessities for Peanut, and to relocate away from the rapist and closer to family so that Ashley can get a fresh start.

The one thing that may change minds about Trump is a conviction. That would be an earthquake. GOP primary voters need to know that if you vote for Trump, he may be a convicted felon by the time we reach our convention. It could be catastrophic for the Republican Party.…

The big Republican talking point is that voters should decide Trump's fate. And they will--after a jury of his peers do. It's a two-part verdict by the people.

This must be dealt with firmly and decisively by law enforcement & the courts. Our entire profession should be expressing outrage.

I think most of the focus on this era among historians will be on how crazy it was that an entire political party was on board with a game show host’s coup attempt.

Trump will be a former president still appealing his convictions but running out of time before he faces a short jail sentence in both the conspiracy and Georgia cases and community service in the Mar-a-Lago and Stormy Daniels cases. Michael Beschloss

Gen-Xers are stepping up in this moment of our democracy and leading us to justice. Just think of a few:
Fani Willis b.1971
Jack Smith b.1969
Alvin Bragg b. 1973
Jocelyn Benson b.1977
Josh Shapiro b. 1973
Hakeem Jeffries b. 1970,…

and there are so many more. Brava and bravo.

The “head of a criminal enterprise.” That captures it.

Oh yeah, one more thing:

It’s a criminal enterprise whose aim was the destruction of everyone’s rights to control their own lives and to live in freedom under the rule of law and not the whim of one man

A reminder: Trump’s campaign manager, deputy campaign manager, national security advisor, foreign policy advisor, personal lawyer, top political advisor have all been convicted of felonies since Trump was elected. Campaign began as criminal enterprise & expanded to the entire GOP

History will be fine. The chances of Trump being acquitted on all counts in all four criminal cases is small, and he will be remembered like Cataline (who attempted a coup against the Roman Republic) or Caligula. You can take that historical assessment to the bank, Hugh Hewitt

This is basically a Rico indictment of the Republican Party. As it should be. Every Republican elected official who refused to acknowledge the winner of the 2020 election is an unindicted co-conspirator.
