reveal a plot by theex-president s aides to use the military to overturn election results. the order empowers the defense secretary to seize, collect, retain and analyze all machines, equipment, electronically stored information and materiel records required for retention under a u.s. law that relates to preservation of election record, military. the draft order would have given the defense secretary 60 days to write an assessment of the 2020 election. that suggests that it could have been a gambit to keep trump in power until mid-february of 2021. this executive order was signed on the 16th and you don t have 60 days to overturn the election. it appears to be part of the more than 700 pages of documents that the ex-president tried very, very hard to block. the house january 6th committee from getting from the national archives. those files also include visitor logs, speech drafts, presidential diaries and handwritten notes and they re all official. these aren t musings and t
is the first time in a generation that there is a direct challenge to the constitutional right to an abortion. there have been challenges on other things, restrictions on abortions, but this is directly saying that the right should be overturned. an issue that once looked at being settled is now far from it. and the reasons for that reach from the politics of right now all the way back to the 705 and 80s. the most immediate reason is one state law, passed in mississippi, which is a southern conservative state. the law is yet to be enacted but it bans abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. and as lawmakers in mississippi well know, roe v wade gives women the right to an abortion up to what is called the stage of foetal viability, which comes around 2a weeks. this is a constitutional right. the mississippi case is a deliberate and direct challenge to that. the challenge being issued in washington at the supreme court on both sides of the argument acknowledge the importance of

trump s former and final chief of staff, mark meadows, was told that plans to try to overturn the 2020 election using so-called alternate electors were not legally sound and that the events of january 6th could turn violent, but meadows pushed forward with the rally anyway. during a march deposition, cassidy hutchinson, a white house aide in meadows office told investigators that she knew meadows received information warning that there could be violence on january 6th, but she wasn t sure what he did with that information. the committee is putting forward this evidence in an attempt to persuade a federal judge to throw out meadows suit against the panel and to force him to comply with its subpoenas, but as the committee battles with one of the failed ex-president s loyalists, it may soon turn its sights on another. republican house leader kevin mccarthy has been caught in an outright lie and there are audiotapes to prove it. in an article based on new york times journalist
