The OUTRAGEOUS ruling by Trump's Judge Cannon on the documents case --
Judge Cannon just did the unthinkable: She dismissed the Trump classified documents case on the repeatedly rejected basis that DOJ violated the Constitution’s Appointments Clause by appointing Special Counsel Smith at all! DOJ must appeal right away. On SCOTUS, only Justice…

1/ Absolutely incredible. New development in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case: Judge Cannon dismisses the prosecution, finding the special counsel appointment is unconstitutional. Appeals to follow. pic.twitter.com/qwTQ6NtzFj

Judge Cannon dismissed decades of institutional precedent, years of recent rulings on Mueller and Smith, and pretty much the entire premise of the special counsel regulations.

Her ultimate complaint? Jack Smith is TOO independent.
Dismissal of Trump

documents case may actually be good news for Jack Smith, who can now immediately appeal to 11th Circuit and ask for case to be reassigned to a new judge. But more delay … https://t.co/N17Ttx6cLW

Political violence against Trump—or anyone—is abhorrent and unacceptable.
— Brian Klaas (@brianklaas) July 15, 2024
It is nonetheless true that Trump has repeatedly stoked political violence—more than any other figure in US politics. He also poses an unprecedented threat to American democracy.
Reality is nuanced.
President Biden has the right message --
Biden: Violence has never been the answer, whether it was with member of both parties of congress being shot or a violent mob attacking the capitol on January 6th or the brutal attack on the spouse of the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.. pic.twitter.com/dC4IS5x12U

Republican get-out-the-vote efforts are nil --
the primary thing that keeps me from dooming is that the Republican Party is relying on low-propensity voters to win (did not vote in 2020, did not vote in 2022) and has cut its GOTV budget to zero

Alex Jones, who should be sleeping under a bridge, has more dangerous garbage to sell --
Alex Jones claims “the deep state tried to kill” Trump and will attempt to cause “a race war,” “poison him,” and “will try to use a truck bomb” to keep him from winning the election.

Jones also claimed the Secret Service “stood down” and will do so again by order from Biden.… pic.twitter.com/flbiVsjPxA
