Former FBI Director James Comey has now filed his powerful motion to dismiss the bullshit seashells indictment brought by the Trump DOJ, at the direction of Convicted Felon Donald Trump. Allowing this prosecution to continue any longer is a travesty of justice. youtu.be/DMDvezZIsEs?...

MY LATEST: After a string of humiliating defeats in court, the DOJ asked the Supreme Court in an emergency appeal to let it seize control of mail voting ahead of the midterms. This case will be considered on the so-called shadow docket. newsletters.democracydocket.com/democracy-is...
