#SCOTUS on July 1 ruled 6-3 along ideological lines that #Trump & other presidents are absolutely #immune from #prosecution when carrying out their core constitutional powers, but can face #trial for private conduct or for official acts under narrow exceptions to be hammered out by lower courts. Judge #Chutkan now must decide which if any of Trump’s efforts to overturn the #2020election while president may be prosecutable.

However, a trial will not be possible before his November #election matchup against MVP #Harris …because whatever the judge decides is expected to wind up back before #SCOTUS next year.

#Legal analysts noted that nearly 5 weeks after the #SupremeCourt issued its landmark decision in Trump v. United States, some of the urgency that once drove the #ElectionInterference case has dissipated.

#MastodonForHarris has reached $400,000 after an initial goal of just $1,000.

As pledged, I smashed that subscribe button for Senator Tammy Baldwin, perhaps the greatest representative Wisconsin will ever have.

Next Senator gets adopted at $500,000!

"You are going to see your candidate subjected to the most blistering, vile & specious personal attacks based on her #race & #gender. The effort, to be sure, is aimed at villainizing her with those who are undecided. But it’s also intended to tear her down in your eyes; to distract & demoralize you; to dampen the high spirits that are driving you toward the one goal that is above all this presidential #election year — winning — which depends on #voting"

Text from article: Why reprise the spirit of John Sharp Williams, why echo the malice of today’s political right? We elders have heard it all before. Some of us have also been on the receiving end. It’s not about us. This is a heads-up to the energized and enthusiastic young voters who are being drawn to the Harris campaign in huge numbers. You are going to see your candidate subjected to the most blistering, vile and specious personal attacks based on her race and gender.

But it’s also intended to tear her down in your eyes; to distract and demoralize you; to dampen the high spirits that are driving you toward the one goal that is above all this presidential election year — winning — which depends on voting. Let nothing stop you from getting to the polls. Because Election Day 2024 will decide who will govern and uphold democratic values.

#Biden moments away from addressing the nation on his decision to stand down from the 2024 #election.

If you think he has earned a beer for ~50 years of public service, donate $5 to help elect VP #Harris (and show #Mastodon is worth looking at)!

Or, you know, a six-pack for $30. 😇

@heidilifeldman has started this #MastodonForHarris ActBlue fundraiser and it is blowing past expectations, approaching $200,000 as we speak!

If you haven't already, or perhaps if you want to again, @heidilifeldman has a #MastodonForHarris #actblue campaign to raise funds for VP Harris's presidential campaign to defeat #Trump.

I think the goal was $1,000 (lol) but we're going to the moon.
