US "condemns a Russian court’s further sentencing and conviction of opposition politician and anti-corruption campaigner Aleksey Navalny to an additional 19 years in prison on unfounded charges of so-called 'extremism.' This is an unjust conclusion to an unjust trial." -- State Dept.
Seems to me this is one of the reasons the judge admonished Trump.
Seems like Donald and his team are going to argue that the electoral count act is ambiguous and hope SCOTUS agrees. Trump has been floating that defense for a while, saying “even congress had to fix the law recently”. He will argue that it’s okay to delay the electoral count.
The Seventh Circuit reaffirmed a 6-year-old ruling in favor of trans students' rights earlier this week, but a concurring opinion from Judge Frank Easterbrook, a Reagan appointee, did serve as a potential warning sign on the path ahead for these cases. https://www.lawdork.com/i/135695065/gender-affirming-student-restroom-use-upheld-in-indiana-cases
#DeSantis fantasizes about “slitting throats on day one”. Welcome to Nazi America 2023.😬 And this sad excuse for a human being is running for President or to be #DispicableDon’s No.2…🤬 This is something that America at large ignores at our peril. However, if we live in a sane country, it should put the final nails n the GOP coffin, but I’m not holding my breath.🤔

Russians carry out a systematic genocide against the Ukrainian people. It is supported overwhelmingly by the Moscow Patriarchate, the so-called Russian Orthodox Church.
Director of Orthodox radio Yevgeniy Nikiforov: "Ukrainians should be burned in the sun and their throats cut.”
A typical Russian, Nikiforov is wishing Ukrainians suffer "burning sunlight." He is referring to the TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" multiple rocket launcher that uses thermobaric warheads.
Parents Defending Education (a misnomer if ever there was) sued this large Ohio school district to try and carve out a “right” to bully transgender classmates. This federal judge said no.
He reviewed the history of bullying and harassment of trans people and said that it’s reasonable for the school district to protect trans youth including discouraging intentional misgendering.
