From #CNN ... I'll be skeptical about this until it has more peer review. #Tesla has invested billions in pushing battery technology, hiring the best scientists and engineers. If Nyobolt is for real, great, but it seems a bit "too good to be true" for a startup to have figured out what Tesla couldn't.

I'm thinking that today's #Trump immunity ruling is probably the dagger through the heart of the classified documents trial. He'll simply argue that removal of the documents before noon on January 20, 2021 was an "official act."
Cannon certainly seems inclined to accept that.
Retention after NARA asked for them back? She'll probably rule that it's irrelevant because the original official act was to keep them.
We know she's incompetent. This is her off-ramp.

Out of curiosity ... Does anyone out there still have a #Usenet subscription? I miss that old grande dame but not sure anyone uses it anymore. Thanks in advance.
#Politics BREAKING from #NYTimes: #Trump lawyers have sent a letter to Judge Merchan asking to overturn his conviction on 34 charges of fraud. The lawyers cited today's #SCOTUS immunity ruling.

I'm impressed that the White House came up with this speech in about eight hours. Short, sweet, to the point.
He tied today's immunity decision to SCOTUS taking away voting rights, and Rowe.
He called out Trump by name.
He said he won't be a king.
We the voters have to decide what future we want.
A longer speech would have lost the audience's attention. Short enough to scare people without losing them with asides and hypotheticals.
This is exactly what he needed.
#Biden hit it out of the park. Watch on the White House YouTube channel at the 10:50 mark.

#Biden address to the nation about today's immunity ruling is about to begin. Watch live on the White House YouTube channel.
I'll be looking to see if #Biden tells the nation that the same #SCOTUS justices who tossed Rowe are the ones who gave a criminal president immunity.
The common link? Trump nominated three of them. The other six came from Republican presidents.
The message is clear -- Republicans are bent on ending our constitutional republic.
These justices handed Biden and the Democrats a big gift, if they'll use it.
