The House passed that as well. The Speaker advanced that. Fox News calls this "taking us to WW III".

Tomorrow we get back to the Trump hush money trial in NY. I'll be here to keep everyone apprised of what is going on. If you aren't a true MAGA supporter I'll give you the gist of what is happening in NY.

So, today judge Merchan held Trump in contempt and fined him $9,000. He also said that any more violations of his gag order will result in jail time. There are four more violations of the gag order that will be revisited on Thursday. Testimony will resume today.
Since the defense has opted to not stipulate to anything, Phillip Thompson, a court reporter in the E. Jean Carrol cases is testifying that Trump's words in that trial was unaltered and shows exactly what Donald Trump said.
Now, Keith Davidson, attorney for Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels is testifying to his role in getting $150,000 for McDougal and, in October, 2016, acquiring $130,000 Daniels. Davidson is now testifying that he reached out to Dylan Howard, David Pecker's editor, about a "blockbuster story about Karen McDougal". The trial has been suspended for lunch during which Trump deleted the posts to his truth social that judge Merchand said violated his orders.
Testimony has now started to continue with Keith Davidson stating that Karen McDougal's story was about a ten month affair with Donald Trump. Now the prosecution is asking about Stephanie Clifford, aka Stormy Daniels. Most of Ms. Clifford's deals were handled by her manger. The prosecution is going through text messages with Davidson about these. These include suppression of the Stormy Daniels' story especially after the Access Hollywood film release and the necessity to keep all this quiet just prior to the 2016 election date. Howard to Davidson, "Trump is f@cked."
Davidson has now testified that Trump and Daniels used pseudonyms for each party including the real name of Davidson's former classmate.
The trial has ended for the day. Transcripts have yet to be released.

Turns out that this was not because of the protesters. It was counter-protesters that attacked the peaceful protesters there. The police were called and they didn't intervene for several hours. This made the counter-protesters who had stopped their attack to reengage their attacks.

Looks like the 1864 Arizona law that the appointed SC ruled as the law is getting overturned and will be signed into law. Unfortunately for women there, a 90 day delay after the legislature there goes home at the end on July will ensue. This is not a good look for Republicans there. That same law said the age of consent to sexual activity for girls was 10 years of age.
Well, the Arizona state Senate just upheld the 1864 law. So, this becomes a real issue in that state this year.
There's an article in the Washington Post today about Florida's newest abortion ban. Seems that when Ron DeSantis signed the law that prohibited abortions to 15 weeks he signed it at a church in Orlando. This 6 week ban he signed behind closed doors. Pro-Choice advocates started getting a ballot initiative to get at least 24 weeks back into the state's constitution. This whole business about fetal heart beats is pure nonsense as at even 6 weeks that heart is nothing more than a tube of cells and doesn't resemble a human heart at all. But, that was never their point. The fetal heart beat was just a way to engage antiabortionists to their cause. Now, it's on the ballot this November and may actually get enshrined in their constitution. Democrats also see this as an advantage to run their opponents in that state. While here in Washington state the GOP is running the most MAGA Republican they could find, overlooking a more moderate candidate that is going to run regardless. Jay Inslee has decided not to run for a forth term while we are close to a super majority in both legislatures.

Today the Trump hush money trial is back on with Keith Davidson now getting cross-examined by the Defense attorney. Davidson had testified that he got the $130,000 for Stormy Daniels from Michael Cohen. The defense is trying to destroy the credibility of Davidson. They are asking him to recall other clients from years ago like Lindsey Lohan and Hulk Hogan. Davidson is not able to recall all of these clients or he has an attorney client privilege that he refuses to reveal.
It is worth noting that upon hearing that Trump won the presidency in 2016 Davidson texted Dylan Howard saying "what have we done." Howard texted back "my god." Cross-examination is expected to resume after the lunch break.
The Davidson testimony is over and a high-tech analyst named Doug Dous is being called by the prosecution. This is likely to identify and show that these exhibits are unaltered and real. Daus is testifying to the authenticity of phones seized from Michael Cohen and the information contained in them.
Daus has authenticated that Michael Cohen had 39,000+ phone numbers in his phones including many including Donald Trump, Melania Trump, Hope Hicks, Allen Weisselberg and many others in the Trump campaign.
So, the trial is over for today. Donald Trump went out and falsely claimed the he is not allowed to testify on his own behalf. Every Defendant is of course allowed to testify in their own defense.

New day same trial. The prosecution is questioning a paralegal at the DA's office about many posts by Donald Trump about Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. She has shown how Trump has posted threats against Daniels and Michael Cohen. They played for the jury Trump's words in a recording of Trump with Cohen talking about Stormy Daniels about the getting ahead of her releasing the story about a one night stand with Donald Trump.
The prosecution showed another post by Trump saying, "IF YOU GO AFTER ME I'M GOING AFTER YOU."
Hope Hicks is now being called to the stand to testify for the prosecution. She has now authenticated an email from the Washington Post concerning the Access Hollywood tape on Oct. 7, 2016. This is when Trump's campaign first learned it would be released. She said that when the tape was released it was Trump for the next 36 hours and hit the campaign like a hurricane. Hicks also testified about the alleged affairs with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. The jury has now been dismissed for lunch.
Hicks has testified that there was a text to her from Madeline Westerhout about Trump wanting to know about David Pecker's news about stories published by the National Enquirer. Hicks testified under direct that she had spoken with Michael Cohen and she knew Trump had made the payment to Stormy Daniels through him. The prosecution rested and the Defense cross-examination started. At that time Hicks broke down crying. Some have speculated that this was because she realized how damaging this testimony would be to Trump.
The defense spent little time on cross-examination. The trial is over for the week. Should begin again on Monday.

Actually if you didn't only get your news from Fox you would know that most of the political protesters are actually in favor of Netanyahu's administration getting more aid to the Palestinians. The vast majority only want their universities to divest from companies that sell help to Netanyahu to wage war in Gaza.

lol, if you didn't copy/paste your political spin from the liberal media then you would read what you regurgitate, you just said the protesters want Israel to provide food, water, medical, ect... to the home of the terrorist who are still holding hostages and the protesters want their colleges to boycott any company connected in any way to Israel or the countries who support them.
How about releasing the Israeli hostages who were so violently attacked and kidnapped, they are truly innocent and deserve to go home before Israel does anything the protesters want....... release the hostages.
Even democrats want the hostages released 1st.

No, I said the protesters want their universities to divest themselves from companies that supply weapons to the Netanyahu government. That has been obvious to anyone watching this. Yes, political leaders here want the hostages released and the Israelis to get aid to the Palestinian people. The college students have been vocal about the universities divesting.
This is very typical of MAGA Republicans who, on the 54th anniversary of the shooting at Kent State where National Guard shot more than 60 times into students in Ohio killing four and wounding nine others, continue to make this a them against us conflict. Seems like some never learn from history.
Did anyone else see where Kristi Noem, governor of South Dakota, shot her puppy in a gravel pit because she deemed it untrainable. This was her attempt to be the most MAGA and Democrats have condemned her resoundly. This is what Trump does to a major political party.

Noem said in her book that the dog was extremely dangerous and said she destroyed it to illustrate her willingness to do difficult and messy work.
Besides it's her dangerous dog and her's to destroy if she wishes, funny how you democrats hype up fake distress over Noem killing her own dangerous dog, but you wouldn't be at all concerned if she killed her baby in the womb simply because she wanted too...... monumental hypocrites and liars, that's what you democrats have become.
I don't care what protesters want, RELEASE the hostages or they can all go to hell.

You weren't even aware that today is the 54th anniversary of the Kent State killings of students by a Republican President, governor and the National Guard. Sure Kristi Noem said it was a dangerous dog and she shot it, but she actually called it untrainable in her book. That is far from dangerous. I'm certain these protesters have the same distain for your kind as well. I know when I was protesting the Vietnam war we hated the ROTC idiots who were just there to make a military career. War was the best way to do that.

Your democrats are taking us to war.
Biden did nothing when Russia was amassing troops on the Ukrainian border and now Biden is sending long range weapons systems and F-16's to Ukraine at the cost of BILLIONS which Putin has vowed to shoot down.
Your democrats are not the saviors of anything, they are liars and crooks as are many Republicans, the whole rotten system needs a flush and Trump is the man to do it, this time Trump will not waste time learning the curve with dems impeding him non stop, this time Trump just might drain the swamp.
Democrats have failed again and again while stuffing their pockets and robbing us blind, in 2025 it will be time for Trump to shine.
