Two weeks after he was suspended from office, ousted Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren fired back with a federal lawsuit against Gov. Ron DeSantis, citing free speech rights and prosecutorial discretion in his fight to get his job back.
The lawsuit states that the courts get to say what the state Constitution means — “not whatever DeSantis needs it to mean to silence his critics, promote his loyalists, and subvert the will of the voters.”

Woah! A lawyer for Steve Bannon is seeking to withdraw from representing him, citing the possibility of being called as a witness at trial.

Seems apparent Trump is freeing up Bannon to testify because he will lie under oath to protect him, and he knows it.

Next week the Supreme Court will likely announce whether it will:
-block our voting rights/redistricting victory in Louisiana.
-hear a case seeking to overturn our redistricting victory in North Carolina.

We need to fight for free and fair elections. Democracy is on the docket.
