#EricAdams is NYC’s first mayor to be charged with a crime, but he's hardly the only politician to run afoul of rules that govern raising and spending funds in elections.
And if history shows anything it's this: Campaign finance violations are often just the first chapter in a much wilder story.

Eric Adams indictment: How campaign finance violations often grow into dramatic scandals
Federal investigations into irregular election spending can uncover wild stories. Politicians have used campaign money to pay rent, fund family vacations, book hotel rooms for mistresses − and worse.The Conversation

Timeline is like:
The Lt. Governor of NC called himself a n*zi on a porn forum! Matt Gaetz trafficked a 17 year old! RFK Jr had an affair with a reporter and chopped up a whale! Kamala Harris is endorsed by everyone you like! New polling shows millions are still undecided!

Critics included #democracy advocates who accused the board of intentionally injecting #chaos & uncertainty into the presidential contest as well as #election supervisors & poll workers who said hand counts would take too long, cost money & almost certainly produce counting errors.
The board voted 3-2 to approve the measure, which would require the #HandCount in addition to the customary machine count in each precinct.
The rule requires the #HandCount to take place the night of the November #election or the next day. But dozens of election officials said that would be physically impossible in all but the smallest counties. Many also said in public comments Friday that it is far too late in the year to adopt new procedures for which their staffs have not been trained & for which they have no funds.

North Carolina's Mark Robinson likes slavery, wants slavery to return and said that he would buy himself some slaves. This is depraved. He calls MLK horrific insults. NC, Robinson is unfit, depraved and vile. 2/

The "Black Nazi' says he is just like corrupt Clarence Thomas? Wow, admitting your guilt was never so easy.
Mark Robinson, the fascist Republican nominee for governor of #NC North Carolina, made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board, in which he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery, a KFile investigation found.
He has also said that some people need to be killed. This is a depraved person.
#Trump said it is incumbent upon #Israel to defeat Vice President #KamalaHarris in November’s #election somehow.
What is this jibbering idiot talking about?? This is the #Republican candidate for #president? Really?? This is who they think should be running the greatest country in the world?

@gemelliz I found a series of essays about Pierre Poilievre's attempts to become PM. Here's one example
Poilievre Will Stoke Just Enough Immigration Anxiety to Win
"The Conservative leader has cleverly couched his objections to current targets in concern for struggling newcomers"
"Ongoing lawsuits on top of ballot-counting delays may well delay certification of the Commonwealth’s results in November. Given its emerging status as the must-win state in the 2024 election, Pennsylvania will once again have the eyes of the nation on its election system."

From the start of the justices’ private discussions of the case, #TrumpvAnderson, it was clear that the court was going to say no…. Allowing states to excise candidates from ballots in a national #election was out of the question, the justices agreed. With sparse & cryptic text in the amendment, & little case #law, to guide them, they raised various ideas for the court’s ruling & rationale.

That would have deferred oral arguments until Oct & almost certainly pushed a decision until after the #election. But #ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts provided crucial support for hearing the historic case earlier, siding w/the liberals.
Then he froze them out. After he circulated his draft opinion in June, Justice Sonia #Sotomayor, the senior liberal, signaled a willingness to agree on some points in hopes of moderating the opinion….
This account draws on details from justices’ private memos, documentation of the proceedings & interviews w/ #SCOTUS insiders, both conservative & liberal,who spoke on the condition of anonymity because deliberations are supposed to be kept secret. [I thank them for providing evidence of such blatant #bias & #corruption]
The #ChiefJustice wrote the majority opinions in all 3 cases, incl an unsigned one in March concluding that #Trump could not be barred from #election ballots in #Colorado.
#law
#Trump, seeking to retake the #WhiteHouse, had made a bold, last-ditch appeal to the justices. He wanted them to block his fast-approaching #criminal trial on charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 election, arguing that he was protected by presidential #immunity. Whatever move #SCOTUS made could have lasting consequences for the next #election, the scope of presidential #power & the court’s own battered reputation.

Wow. This is a pretty good poll for Harris, even if Iowa is probably a bridge too far.

How #Harris Roped a Dope
She stayed human when #Trump went feral.
By David Frum
Vice President #KamalaHarris walked onto the #ABC News debate stage w/a mission: trigger a Trump #meltdown.
She succeeded.
Trump had a mission too: control yourself.
He failed.
Trump lost his cool over & over. Goaded by predictable provocations, he succumbed again & again.

Since Jill Stein only shows up every 4 years I wanted to quickly remind everyone, not just of this photo, but how notoriously difficult to it is to have access to war criminal Vladimir Putin, let alone *a seat at a table with him*. Backing Jill Stein is willful ignorance.
The biggest criminal conman in American history, fraud, sexual abuser, insurrectionist, notorious liar Donald Trump lost a $50 million lawsuit yesterday for using Isaac Hayes, music and song “Hold On” at his rallies and refusing to stop doing it for copyright violations.
