My friend @1MADMOM just came up with an excellent idea. We can balance the budget and have a surplus if we sell tickets for a chance to slap some sense into DeSantis. $2/ticket.

COVID CASES UP 80%!

Please, please take precautions if you need to: covid is still here!

The number of new Covid-19 cases reported worldwide rose by 80% in the last month, the World Health Organization said on Friday, days after designating a new "variant of interest".

Everyone should emphasize that trump pleaded. He didn't bombastically declare he was not guilty or demand to be found not guilty. He pleaded, like a little baby pleading not to be spanked or an immigrant pleading to be allowed into the country. If enough people emphasize his bleating pleading, his head may explode and save us all a lot of grief.

52/ Chutkan to Lauro: Your client's defense is supposed to happen in this courtroom. Not on the internet. To extent he wants to make stmts on the internet, they have to always yield to witness security and safety. That's what I'm worried about.

#TFG is a clear & present danger: What’s clear already is that TFG’s attacks on the criminal justice system & his opponents are, once again, not a hypothetical danger. They’re FATAL🚨. This week, another armed militant whose enemies just happened to be all of #TFG’s enemies was shot & killed after pointing a gun at fed agents who came to arrest him. While his calls to protest his arraignments have largely fallen flat, his incitement hasn’t.

19/ Chutkan: The fact that he's running a political campaign means he has to yield to the ordinary order of justice

There's back and forth. Lauro says we don't have normal situation, normal order here

IMPORTANT:

CHUTKAN: “What the defendant is currently doing — the fact that he’s running a political campaign has to yield to the orderly administration of justice. If that means he can’t say exactly what he wants to say about witnesses in this case, that’s how it has to be.”

"The thing about poor people debating over the morality of stealing rich people’s money is that rich people wouldn't ever give a second thought about stealing yours, evidenced by the fact that they already have. Many times."

Judge Chutkan rules Trump will be forbidden from having a phone, copy machine, or anything else that could create a copy of the sensitive materials while he's reviewing them.

Defense counsel will have to review Trump's notes to make sure he's not copying witness' personal info.

They point out that households that quit burning methane in their homes and use only energy efficient, electric appliances and cars, backed by rooftop solar and battery storage, can save $3,500 a year by 2030, but I'd like these kinds of reports to also highlight how commercial buildings would benefit as well.

I was asked by my department head if I was interested in being the faculty representative at the big women in computing conference in Orlando. I replied that as a trans woman it's now “functionally illegal" for me to go to Florida. As in technically not illegal, but impossible to do so in a way that both complies with the law and is safe. Shocked that it's come to this. #Transgender #Florida

When we finally find a time
to speak, my aunt the doctor
tells me she is afraid
that the virus
has damaged people’s hearts,
and I tell her at this point
people seem even crueler
than they did before,
but she interrupts me to clarify
that the virus
literally damages the heart.
