Bad News
Trump can’t secure the $464 million bond to appeal his civil fraud liability. Bad News for Donald.
Indictment Day
Oh, is that today??
Wake Up!
Lots of people have been wondering when Merrick Garland would wake up and start looking into the January 6th insurrection and the roles key Trump administration members played that day and the plot to decertify the election.
Finally there are more signals that the Department of Justice is looking into it.
Not sure what will come of it. But it’s about time DOJ woke up to the alarm bells going off.
Accountability
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has resigned, following a huge swath of cabinet resignations expressing loss of faith in him.
Johnson has been a lightning rod conservative during his time in office, borrowing from Trump’s populist playbook. But he’s also been at the center of relentless scandals over illicit parties at Downing St, sexual misconduct of an ally Johnson promoted even after being aware of prior issues, manipulations of ethics rules and investigations, and more.
The conservatives lost confidence in Johnson and forced his hand to resign.
Imagine that. A scandal plagued conservative leader being held accountable by his own party? It seems downright un-American. Unfortunately.
