Attorney General Ken Paxton @KenPaxtonTX ·Apr 30 With President Trump in NYC to sit through this sham of a trial. This trial is a travesty of justice. I stand with Trump.

Trump: "I am going to put a 10% tariff every single item imported into this country."Libertarian Party:
"YASSS KING!!! Come speak at our convention!"
What a joke.
I will point out, May 23rd falls on a Thursday this year. I wonder if FIDJT will have the energy to attend after a full day in the "icebox" in NYC…

Now I get it. It's all about the grift.
Now that @CorrectionNYC has finally closed the Tombs, will there really be enough space at Rikers for this event?

I love expanding my vocabulary! "Contemnor." Click on the xit/link to read Joyce Vance's very long discussion of contempt charges and what to look forward to at the hearing tomorrow.
Trump is formally a “contemnor,” the label assigned by courts to a person they hold in contempt. The Judge cited case law that references the court’s ability "to punish the contemnor for disobeying a court order." What are the consequences? Read here: https://joycevance.substack.com/p/contempt

Why the Dems’ latest special election win adds to GOP headacheswww.msnbc.com/…
✂️
Democrats won a special election for a House seat in western New York on Tuesday, The Associated Press projected, further shrinking the GOP’s narrow majority in the House. Democratic state Sen. Tim Kennedy defeated Republican town supervisor Gary Dickson in the 26th District, a reliably blue area that includes Buffalo and some of its surrounding suburbs.
This wasn’t an instance in which the GOP nominated an unelectable candidate. On the contrary, Dickson was the first Republican elected as town supervisor in the Buffalo suburb of West Seneca in 50 years.
The results were nevertheless lopsided: According to a Buffalo News report, Kennedy, who heavily outspent his GOP rival, defeated Dickson by roughly 37 points.

In other South Dakota News:
NBC News reported this morning that a proposed amendment “to enshrine abortion access in South Dakota’s constitution is one step closer to appearing on the November 2024 ballot, after a coalition of reproductive rights advocates submitted the required number of signatures on Wednesday. Dakotans for Health, the group leading the ballot effort, announced it had collected the signatures of more than 55,000 registered voters — far more than the 35,000 needed to move forward with the process of getting their proposal on the ballot.” www.msnbc.com/...
