#JudgeKaplan stated that the #jury would be instructed that #Trump's #liability has been established.

Asked to confirm she (re)instructed Trump about the guidelines, #Habba replied: "Yes, your honor."

Kaplan then asked, “and you say that because you personally made him aware of those confines?”

Trump then loudly interjected, "I never met this woman."

Trump had infrastructure week but "on my watch America is having an infrastructure decade," President Biden says in a speech in Superior, Wisconsin.

#JudgeKaplan asked for a #proffer of #Trump's #testimony, #AlinaHabba responded: "He's going to say he stands by his deposition. He's going to say that he stands by those statements there."
She said he'd also claim that he didn't mean to harm her.

Asked if Trump would go beyond that, #Habba said: "I'm not testifying for my client, your honor."

#EJeanCarroll atty Roberta Kaplan said Trump had an opportunity to participate in the first trial, but he didn't appear.

There you have it!

Trump calls senators and convinces them to pull the plug on aid for Ukraine.

This was never about “solving the border”. This was ONLY about putting a spoke in the wheels of government, to be able to use the lack of progress as a campaign issue.

Trump is the ME FIRST candidate.

I Miscarried in Texas. My Doctors Put Abortion Law First. “No one should have to fear they may die because of a miscarriage. And yet, for women like me in the United States, in Texas, that fear is very real.” Repressive, punitive, and sickening. https://www.newsweek.com/i-miscarried-texas-doctors-abortion-law-1861677

There should be a Wiki that has the text of every bill in Congress and every single character and punctuation mark should be attributed to the congress person that made it or changed it.

A new study found that more that 64,000 people became pregnant through rape in states that criminalized #abortion.

Most of the women live in states that ban victims from aborting their assailant's pregnancy.

Texas has turned itself into a rapist paradise with 45% of all forced pregnancies tracked happening within its borders https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/64k-women-girls-became-pregnant-due-rape-states-abortion-bans-study-es-rcna135565

This makes me literally sick to my stomach. They’ve somehow managed to survive the violence of rape only to have their governments violate them a 2nd time. When I tell you I would drive off a bridge before I brought my rapist’s baby into the world, I’m not being hyperbolic. #ForcedBirthIsViolence #AbortionIsEssential #ProChoiceIsProLife https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/health/article/texas-sees-estimated-26k-pregnancies-rape-18625692.php

Graphic description by #Israeli #hostage inside #Hamas tunnel:

— militants snatched her out of her house. Another went back in & shot her husband dead

— marched into extensive tunnel network, walking 5 hrs through dark airless shafts

— held in dark, humid tunnel where she met #Sinwar, Hamas top leader

— From so deep underground, she did not hear #Israel’s massive bombardment. But she said she could tell they were happening because it felt like the tunnels were moving

Tip of the Day!

Here is a reminder to everyone [rightly] pissed at the incredibly high cost of peer-reviewed journal articles behind paywalls:

If you send an email to the lead/corresponding author (whose contact is almost always provided in the article, or easily found with google) and ask for a copy of the article, the author will almost universally be delighted to send a copy [legally] to you, free.

We authors LOVE it when someone asks for a copy of our articles!!!
