"Donald Trump Found Guilty on All Counts in Hush-Money Trial"
"The historic verdict makes him the first ex-president ever convicted of a crime...guilty on all 34 felony counts related to his 2016 hush-money payment."
All of the charges were for the falsification of business records, which stemmed from the payment to suppress stories about alleged extra-marital affairs Trump had in the years before he ran for president.
The far right has thrown a wrench in the old way of doing news.
"They plot dangerous initiatives …sometimes fifty years in advance … to overturn Roe v. Wade, destroy diversity initiatives, & rewrite the Constitution, & then they actually go ahead & do them."
By the time journalists tell readers what the Radical Right has done, it just walks them back through all the steps we didn’t report on.
To anyone (rightly) criticizing the US:
Americans - as individuals - can do the right thing. Any one of these jurors could have hung the jury, gone public, and been set for life as a right-wing media darling. Book deals, speaking circuit, position in a future Trump admin, whatever they wanted. But all 12 put public service over personal gain. #USpol (From David Litt)

This quote from “All The President’s Men” goes out to all the #journalists I follow for their coverage of the #trial and to @Nonilex and @GottaLaff for their play by play.
Today, the United States reached a monumental milestone that we prosecuted and convicted a former president, proving that - while there is certainly an argument or just a system is not perfect - we are democracy that is proven that NO ONE is above the law.
Tonight, and perhaps for the first time in my entire entire life, I’m proud to be an “American“! 🇺🇸
Each page yesterday took him just a little more than a minute, so this will take >30 mins.
Between that & the testimony readbacks, also expected to take >30 mins, there will likely be >1 hour this morning w/the jury in the courtroom, not actively deliberating.
The drawing on the cover of next week's issue of The New Yorker, titled "A Man of #Conviction" & created by the artist John Cuneo, shows Trump’s tiny hands being handcuffed, arms outstretched over his swollen figure, his trademark red tie draped over his belly.
