Lot of excuses here from Pete Skandalakis, the executive director of the Georgia’s nonpartisan prosecutor council, who filed today to drop the case.

Meanwhile in Brazil, Bolsonaro this week started his 27-year prison sentence for trying to overturn the results of his election.
He noted that the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling last year, which granted presidents "absolute immunity" from criminal prosecution for acts within their constitutional authority, meant that it would take "months, if not years" to litigate immunity issues in the Georgia courts - and that all of that would have to occur after Mr. Trump leaves office in 2029. "Bringing this case before a jury in 2029, 2030 or even 2031 would be nothing short of a remarkable feat," Mr. Skandalakis wrote, adding that "the citizens of Georgia are not served by pursuing this case in full for another five to ten years."

Tara Reade and George Papadopoulos attended Russia Today’s 20th anniversary celebration at the Bolshoi Theatre, and watched Putin deliver a 15-minute speech. 👀

www.newsguardrealitycheck.com
Attendees included former far-left British MP George Galloway and Tara Reade, who accused former U.S. President Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her and defected to Russia, where she was granted citizenship. • George Papadopoulos, a 2016 Trump campaign aide charged with lying to the FBI about his contacts with Kremlin officials, and X owner Elon Musk's father, South American businessman Errol Musk, attended the event as well, according to a NewsGuard review of photos from the ceremony.

Trump should be thanking Merrick Garland instead of threatening him with jail time.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump + Former FBI Agent Walter Giardina is a DIRTY COP! He should be, along with Deranged Jack Smith, the sinister team of Lisa Monaco and Andrew Weissmann, Liddle' Jay Bratt, Norm Eisen and his FAKE Charity, CREW, Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, Thomas Windom, who dreamt up the corrupt J-6 Witch Hunt, should be investigated, immediately. They are a disgrace to our Nation. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This is a prelude to tearing down the actual White House, isn't it?

Newsom's #Prop50 on glide path for comfortable win. An added benefit it is draining money from House GOP members individual accounts. These donations can't easily be reraised as there are contribution limits. It's money that won't be transferred to the NRCC this fall to shore up vulnerable members.
It’s hard to overstate the significance of this ballot measure. Democrats could neutralize the new Texas congressional map. Calvert, LaMalfa, Reps. Darrell Issa, Kevin Kiley and David Valadao could lose reelection. This could very well sway the battle for control of the House. Some House Republicans have chipped in: Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) gave $300,000. Republican Reps. Vince Fong and Jay Obernolte of California gave $100,000 each. California GOP Reps. Ken Calvert and Doug LaMalfa, who would be drawn into deep blue districts under the proposed new map, have donated as well. LaMalfa gave $250,000.

Hey @nytimes.com, updated your headline to provide a more accurate description about the WH position.
"White House Signals It May Try to Deny Back Pay to Furloughed Federal Workers" (in Violation of Federal Law) Union leaders and Democratic lawmakers say the move would run afoul of a law adopted under President Trump's first term.

You’re using a 30 year old photo.

That was a choice, a choice to deceive people.

Sounds like this guy has a problem with Catholics and people of color too.
Jeremy Carl tweet: "I just can't understand why the under- representation of white Christians and the total absence of white Protestants in the Biden Administration isn't a huge story. The media loves covering stories of systemic exclusion and lack of representation."

I believe this base was originally built by the Soviet Union, so I guess Russia gets it?
If Afghanistan doesn't give Bagram Airbase back to those that built it, the United States of America, BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN!!! President DJT
