Two developments in the last hour should be processed with that fact in mind. First, his sudden decision to cancel a Press Conference. Trump had promised a, quote, conclusive report and he would once and for all be proven right New York Times says its a document of more than 100 pages compiled, at least in part by liz harrington, a Trump Communications aide often described as among the True Believers in his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him through widespread fraud. At least on this one issue, trump appears to have listened to the advice of his lawyers. Abc news reported yesterday, trumps Legal Advisers have told him holding such a Press Conference with dubious claims would only complicate his legal problems. Which wrings us to the second development. An audacious request filed in Court Last Night to push back trumps trial in the federal case regarding his efforts to overturn the 2020 election to april of the year 2026. Yeah. Thats more than five years after the d
sb-202, one the famed ban on food and water for voters waiting more a than 150 feet from the polling place, waiting in those long lines, that got struck down, and a provision requiring voter to put their date of birth on the outer envelope of their absentee ballot, a random provision that would have disenfranchised thousands of voters in georgia, those were struck down. democracy is on the docket in courthouses around america and it s winning and that is a message that people need to hear. what are the you know, sort of things that you re still watching? what keeps you up at night right now, mark? look, what keeps me up at night is that as quickly and as conclusively as we are winning this other organizations are winning voting rights lawsuits and redistricting lawsuits you continue to see republican legislatures enact new restrictions on voting.
