On Thurs, #Arizona state Sen #JakeHoffman (R) also pleaded not guilty. Later in the day, Hoffman & another co-defendant, state Sen #AnthonyKern (R), were in the crowd when #Trump made his first appearance in the battleground state since his #criminal#conviction in #NewYork. To cheers, the fmr president called his NY #criminal trial “rigged” & said that “there was no crime.”
MAGA Mike Johnson announces his plan to “go after” the United States system of justice.
Why this plan is destined to end in failure like most of Republican’s plans to protect felon Donald Trump.
MAGA Mike Johnson has announced his “three pronged approach” to ”go after” the Dept. of Justice. The FBI, local DA’s, Judges, juries and anyone involved in the administration of justice in the U.S.
White Nationalist Mike Johnson plans to use the ⭕ appropriations process, ⭕ Anti law and order legislation and
⭕ Congressional oversight to greatly weaken if not destroy America’s justice system.
What has caused this drastic reaction from the #TrumpStooge who is supposed to serve all of the citizens of the U.S.?
Johnson is committed to destroying our entire system of justice in service to one FELON. Remember Election Denier Liar Mike Johnson led the attempt to use FRAUDLENT ELECTORS, throw out valid electors in 2020 and return the election to the states.
If Johnson is successful in his attempt to destroy the DOJ, FBI and local law enforcement and court systems citizens are in grave danger.
The Johnson plan to overturn our system of justice is already in motion. Jim Jordan is demanding DA Bragg appear before his committee. Traitor Tom Cole is proposing legislation to end funding for the FBI unless they drop all Trump investigations. Johnson wants to end congressional funding for local law enforcement and end all programs that assist law enforcement. A plan that would have long term extremely negative effects on millions of American citizens.
MAGA Mike Johnson has forgotten his oath to the Constitution His attempt to drive a stake into the heart of our justice system will not play well with voters this fall.

As expected, the House Reps who want defund #NATO include much of the pack who supported Trump's coup in 2020. Nearly half the sitting Reps with Congressional Insurrection Index rankings voted today to destroy our alliances (colored in ss below, which shows post-Jan 6 scores).

Alito’s Aggrieved Letter to #Congress Tips His Hand in the Jan. 6 Cases
“No one should be surprised that the author of Dobbs—a decision that cherry-picked and butchered history to reach a preferred outcome—would ignore the intimate ties between this flag and fringe right extremists. For #Alito and his fellow GOP appointees, originalism means slicing and dicing history to fit whatever reality you favor. The flagrant violation of the flag code? The winking support for “Stop the Steal”? It means exactly what the justice wants it to, and nothing more. Your offense is the real offense.”
"Tens of millions of Americans reasonably doubt that Alito can fairly discharge his duties. Alito is gaslighting the American people—a technique he learned from Trump. Having been caught in his lie he is doubling down on the lie—while pretending to be aggrieved that Americans doubt his veracity.
This debacle is a stain on the Court and an indictment of Justice Robert’s leadership."
“Justice Alito has no problem telling American women they lack the right to make decisions about their own bodies and health. But apparently, he can’t tell his wife to take down a flag that calls the integrity of his decisions on the Supreme Court into question. He doesn’t care. He has life tenure and there are no repercussions binding ethics rules he must obey.”
"U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has formally refused to recuse from any and all cases involving indicted ex-president Donald Trump or the January 6, 2021 attack on the seat of the American government and American democracy itself."
Constitutional law scholar and professor of law Eric Segal responds:
“To be clear, if we found a love letter written to Donald Trump from Sam Alito saying, ‘Can’t wait till you’re back in office,’ Alito still would not recuse. He has no moral compass at all.”
As Jody Kantor shows, Alito's flag story doesn't add up.
"The justice told Fox News that his wife hoisted the flag in response to Ms. Baden’s vulgar insult. A text message and the police call — corroborated by Fairfax County authorities — indicate, however, that the name-calling took place on Feb. 15, weeks after the inverted flag was taken down."
The Badens are the neighbors that Alito blames for provoking his wife to fly her flag.
"But in the Baden family’s version, the justice’s wife initiated the conflict. 'Aside from putting up a sign, we did not begin or instigate any of these confrontations,' Ms. Baden said later….
"On Feb. 15, the couple were pulling in trash bins when the Alitos, who seemed to be on a stroll, appeared. Mrs. Alito addressed the pair by name, used an expletive and called them 'fascists,' the couple told The Times and said in texts at the time. Justice Alito remained silent, they added."
"What’s most striking is the sheer pettiness of the Alitos, but the one factual reveal is that the key confrontation that Alito said prompted his wife to raise the distress signal actually came after the flag at the Alitos was already taken down. … Alito’s explanation never made sense. On what planet does your neighbor protesting a coup attempt require you to trot out pro-coup symbols?"
