A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to #Texas Emergency Rooms
==

It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a #hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened.

Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.”

She’s one of at least two Texas women who died under the state’s #abortion ban.

That’s because in the next 3 months, the justices may be asked to inject themselves into the late stages of the #2024election. If presented w/such an opportunity, this could be the term that #SCOTUS elects Donald #Trump.

4 yrs ago, Trump & his allies attempted to overturn his 2020 loss from the WH, while his allies controlled legislatures in the critical states of PA, WI, AZ, & GA, as well as key institutions like the #Wisconsin#SupremeCourt.

#Trump’s #coup failed not because he & his allies lacked #power, but because President Joe #Biden’s margin of victory was big enough that some allies—including his own AG & most #Senate#Republicans—refused to use that power to illegally keep Trump in office. This year, Trump does not hold as many levers of power. But a faction of his political coalition, the #GOP-appointed 6-3 majority on #SCOTUS, controls one of the most important.

The #SupremeCourt will begin a new term on Monday, in which it is set to hear pivotal cases about #transgender rights, our #environment, & #GunViolence. But the term’s biggest blockbuster could be a case that not only hasn’t yet been filed, but is still just a concept.

U.S. District Judge Tanya #Chutkan has signed off on #SpecialCounsel#JackSmith's request to file an oversized opening brief regarding #immunity issues as the federal election subversion case against #Trump presses forward.

Smith's office alerted the court over the wknd that it was seeking to file a 180-page brief regarding how #SCOTUS’ ruling regarding presidential immunity impacts the charges against Trump, who is facing 4 #felony counts related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

#Trump's defense team argued in a motion on Monday that the "fundamentally unfair" request from Smith should be shot down by Chutkan, in part because the brief's page count is over 4X what opening briefs are usually confined to before the DC court system. [otherwise known as the waaaaahhh!! defense]

But #Chuktan wrote in her order a day later that the court would grant Smith's request "to file an oversized brief" & shot down the defense's arguments about the legality of the briefing.

Judge #Chutkan, in her ruling, emphasized that #Trump’s political concerns over the timing of the #evidence release had no bearing on the court’s decision. She noted that the judicial process must proceed without regard to the #election calendar, stating, “what needs to happen before or shouldn’t happen before the election is not relevant here.”

Chutkan's order also denied Trump’s repeated requests to #delay the pretrial schedule, ensuring that the case will continue to move forward.

#Trump’s legal team had also objected to the length of the brief. Judge Chutkan dismissed this argument, noting the "challenging" & fact-bound nature of the issues that required such a comprehensive filing.

Trump’s defense raised concerns that the brief’s release could influence public opinion & impact his candidacy. Chutkan rejected these claims, asserting that they did not show any legal prejudice to Trump.

#Trump has issued yet another ominous warning about his potential 2nd term, this time promising a "bloody story" for the millions of #immigrants he intends to #deport.

He made the comments at a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Sat, echoing the broader RNC’s 2024 platform. The #GOP's plans for US after a Trump victory include aggressive #immigration enforcement & #MassDeportations.

#Trump's *vision* for America includes #MassDeportations that will be so extensive that "huge camps" [#ConcentrationCamps] will be needed to detain people. To execute his vision, Trump has proposed the creation of a deportation force pulled from local police & National Guard troops volunteered by "Republican-run states."

…It’s hard to believe that the members of #TenetMedia “didn’t know” anything about the scheme. In fact, you can watch Pool describe nearly exactly what he engaged in, during a podcast conversation:

In response to the charges, the pundits & their allies are saying they just didn’t know any better. In fact, they’re the real victims.

“Should these allegations prove true, I as well as the other personalities & commentators were deceived,” Pool wrote.🙄

Johnson echoed the line, writing, “We are disturbed by the allegations in today’s indictment, which make clear that myself & other influencers were victims in this alleged scheme.”

#Chutkan’s decision gives the government an opportunity to lay out new #evidence against #Trump, though how much, if at all, they will choose to reveal in the run-up to the #election remains to be seen.

In court, Trump defense attorney #JohnLauro had sparred w/Chutkan over the schedule, arguing that the next 2 months is a “very sensitive time” before Republican nominee Trump faces the Democratic nominee, MVP #KamalaHarris, at the polls.

“It strikes me that what you’re trying to do is affect the presentation of evidence in this case in a way so as not to impinge on the election of the president,” #Chutkan told #Lauro, after the #Trump lawyer objected to an order that would let prosecutors make their case first. “This court is not concerned with the electoral schedule.”
