In short: Trump classified docs case is almost certainly not going to trial in May -- in fact, we are probably now several months behind that schedule

NEW: Judge Cannon denies request by Special Counsel that she set CIPA Section 5 deadline in Trump classified docs case -- where defendant is required to disclose what classified info he intends to use at trial -- and says it will be set in March 2024 (!)

Every Republican still in the House next year will be forced to run for reelection while possibly supporting a convicted felon at the head of the GOP ticket. They will also have to say they believe the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. thehill.com/opinion/campaign…

House Republicans are jumping off the sinking ship

Any Republican on the ballot in 2024 faces the ugly prospect of being asked to defend Trump for the next three years, while getting nothing done on Capitol Hill.

Don't overlook this: The big victory in Virginia isn't just about abortion. It also shows that the reactionary "parents rights" nonsense has utterly fizzled. I talked to Dems on the ground about how the right is alienating voters. 1/ free link wapo.st/3Qnas3G

Biden has forgiven $127 billion in student loans (a bit more than a year's worth of SNAP) on top of years of suspended payments, and for his trouble we get constant complaints on Twitter that he's done nothing on student debt.

Yesterday’s biggest censorship news ICYMI. Celebrated authors and “classics” will disappear from HS libraries under HB 1069. The interpretation of the law is that “sexual conduct” is only allowed in state approved texts. (Freedom) Which title shocks you most?

Dropping one more list tonight - this one from @collierschools. It’s a long one with over 350 books pulled from HS student access for perceived noncompliance with HB 1069. This district also requires parents to grant check out access at the start of the year.

When President Biden speaks about the future it’s about possibility, hope, & democracy. Donald Trump only talks about the future in terms of staying out of jail & retribution against those he claims have personally wronged him. Whose version of America do you want to live in?

The Trump and Bush tax cuts have cost us $10 TRILLION in revenue. Those tax cuts—which overwhelmingly benefited the wealthy and corporations—are responsible for 57% of the increase in the debt. Stop blaming the debt on spending.
