As donald trump will be on the ballot, the 2024 election will not be defined by Big Policy Debates or disagreements between the two candidates and parties of which there are many, but rather by a very basic question whether or not we want our democracy to continue as we know it. Because donald trump has made it clear in public speeches and announcements he will take a Wrecking Ball to the rule of law, he will pardon the january 6th insurrectionists.

Voters who go to the polls in a few months have to answer the question whether the 248year democratic experiment sees its birthday . That choice has been laid out in stark detail, voices not just on the left or center, but also the far right. Remember this, from liz cheney.
trust has just announced that it failed to learn who is responsible for that unprecedented leak of the decision overturning roe v. wade last spring. that dropped opinion would ultimately be the opinion issued by the court in a highly polarizing decision to remove a constitutional right held for 50 years in america. from the new york times reporting on this developing story, quote, in a 20-page report, the court s martial said that investigators had conducted 126 formal interviews of employees all of whom had denied being the source of the leak. investigators found no forensic evidence by examining the court s computer devices and available call and text logs. the washington post adds, quote, justice samuel alito said that the leak was a grave betrayal of trust by somebody and it was a shock that led to a changed atmosphere at the court and made his colleagues in the majority, quote, targets for assassination. the threat to the justices, he added was not theoretical becaus
To hear are central players in this case. Talking Stormy Daniels, Karen Mcdougal and Michael Cohen. Karen mcdougal who had some instagram posts last night.
