Former top prosecutor shows why Hope Hicks 'is such a devastating witness against Trump'
"Why Hicks is such a devastating witness against Trump," Weissmann wrote after the Friday hearing. "1. Hicks makes clear Trump knew of the Cohen payoff scheme to Daniels...
4. Hicks establishes that Trump knew that money was for Daniels' silence- not for the claimed legal fees for ongoing legal work by Cohen."

Good morning - depending on how much weight you put on the predictive aspects of by-elections, you can interpret this how you wish:
on a low turnout (just on a third of eligible voters cast a ballot) Labour sees a massive swing (third largest in recent by-election history) away from the Conservatives to win Blackpool South
The Greens didn't do well but perhaps the think to watch is Reform UK, very much coming up on the (right) outside against the Tories!
If you're an American born after 1969, you've never lived under a liberal-leaning U.S. Supreme Court.
If Hillary Clinton had been elected in 2016, that could have changed.
The U.S. could be much different.
Roe would still be the law of the land.
Justice and equality could move forward, not backward.
The Supreme Court, and federal courts, are reason enough to vote for Democrats.

The Constitution gives the president no “duties” over presidential elections; his actions are therefore personal, and not immune.Lawrence Lessig (Rolling Stone)
They're claiming the thick chains protestors at #Columbia used when occupying a building are proof that the protesters weren't real students.
In fact, not only are those chains widely used by students all over the city... Columbia itself sells them to students.
Don't fall for the NYPD's attempts to manufacture consent for violently attacking peaceful protesters.

What is going on in Birmingham?
As previously discussed in my timeline, what is being presented as a crisis brought on by the need to retrospectively deal with an equal pay problem, is actually much more a case of the impossibility of financial planning when the newly installed IT system means the financial management of the Council has become impossible due to an absence of financial data....
Another IT firm is wrecking lives with impunity; sound familiar?
Birmingham city council accused of basing drastic cuts on ‘imagined’ data
Whistleblowers fear £760m equal pay liability bill could be hugely overstated, as IT problems leave finances in disarrayJessica Murray (The Guardian)
My nuanced position is that the constitution doesn't provide the right to be free from feeling unsafe from the content of another's speech.
And it also doesn't provide the right to be free from arrest when trespassing on private property despite it being in protest.
It's just like purchasing carbon offsets.

It is one thing to take inspiration from ancient religious texts.
It is a completely different thing to take them literally.
If the authors of those texts had known what we know today about physics, cosmology and evolution their messaging would likely have been quite different.
We live on a rare, small planet in the habitable zone of a stable star.
We are part of nature and have an extended family of millions of species.
All we need to do, is fit in.
