#Politics Here's the redacted transcript of the Hunter #Biden testimony to the House Oversight Committee on February 28.

#Politics BREAKING from #CNN: #SCOTUS temporarily halts #Texas immigration law. Judge Alito (!) wrote the hold.

#Politics #Maddow just called today's #SCOTUS #Trump action "bullpucky." She's upset, and so is Chris Hayes.
Lawrence O'Donnell isn't all that upset. He points out that SCOTUS agreed to hear only one issue, tossing all the other claims in Trump's appeal. He also notes that they declined to send it back to the appellate court which would have delayed the matter further.
Lawrence thinks there's zero chance SCOTUS finds a former president has immunity. I disagree.
#Politics Watching #MSNBC 's legal eagles, they seem to be in a bit of a panic about this. They seem to think that the #SCOTUS #MAGA majority are going to grant #Trump extraordinary powers of legal immunity as a former president.
If so .. I'll just point out that those powers will have been granted to #Biden too.
They also speculated that #SCOTUS could hold their ruling until they recess in late June, essentially assuring that no criminal trial can begin in time to affect the election.
#Politics BREAKING from #CNN: #SCOTUS agrees to hear #Trump legal immunity claim the week of April 22.

#Politics #Israel #Hamas #Gaza
Listening to NPR this morning, they interviewed a Palestinian activist in Michigan who was demanding that #Biden immediately call for a ceasefire in Gaza or else he was somehow going to flip Michigan to #Trump in November.
Not once did this person say a word about October 7, but beyond that he was totally clueless about the delicate diplomatic dance by the Biden administration to resolve this.
I wish some people would do their homework.

#Politics From The Hill: Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) is calling for the House GOP to cancel #Biden #SOTU speech.
(Of course, the real reason is they don't want to give him prime time television coverage where everyone can see that mentally he's just fine.)

From #FloridaToday: Brevard County commissioners cut the video live feed of any public comments at their meetings.
#Politics How will Trumpers deny tonight's commercial lunar landing?
#Politics From #FloridaToday:
What the #Florida legislature is doing, and I'm not making this up ... It literally was the first bill brought up by Republicans in the state House, and now it's passed the state Senate.
"The Florida Senate has approved legislation that would boot minors younger than 16 years old off social media and require age verification to access pornographic websites."
Nikki Haley says, "Embryos, to me, are babies."
(Anyone interested in seeing her biology class grades?)
