1/… Bower:

Trump enters the courtroom. Before arriving, he lingered for a moment in the doorway, talking to his lawyers, Emile Bove and Todd Blanche. He had a piece of paper in his hand, which he waved around as he spoke.

Wait for it….

I don't see that Stormy has changed her story. It absolutely rings true to me that her tellings of the story would change subtly given the embarrassment and the difficulties of the situation she was in. No woman just spills every gory detail of a moment like that to everyone equally. And Necheles knows that. Damn her for working for Trump and doing his dirty work.

1/…More color from Pagliery:

Eric Trump just swapped seats with Rep. Donalds just in time for the congressman to appear in photos behind Trump's defense table.

That's what this trial is now for Trump, a political photo opp.

Just reading, that seemed to be impressively good testimony by Cohen. Calm straightforward, and convincing. I can't see how defense can come across as anything other than cruel. I hope Cohen keeps his cool on cross. Thanks for the excellent access, Laffy.

McB:

...At 2:14 p.m., Trump walks in, entourage in tow.

Boris Epshteyn just handed a piece of paper with a photo on it to Kaitlan Collins.

I thought he maybe said "Conway" to her, but I'm not exactly sure.

The prosecution's coup de grace !
101/ McB: There are other details I don't want to put on the record, but I'm happy to put in a sealed record the very salacious details we omitted out of a desire not to embarrass the defendant, Steinglass says.

All via McB for awhile:

Counsel approaches, brief sidebar

"Binoculars down."

As I mentioned, courtroom rules strictly enforced. During sidebar, court security doesn't allow reporters to use binoculars they had brought to see exhibits and facial expressions better

I admire your decision and the tenacity to follow through. Canada is one of my favorite places to visit even though many US citizens act like it doesn't even exist. It sounds like the ideal place to be just now: not perfect but SO MUCH better than the crazy that is going on here in the US. I will enjoy following your adventure.

Mr. Blowdryer cooperated. I'm back, catching up now.

NEW THREAD🧵 #TrumpTrial #Trump #legal 1/...

Klasfeld:

We're back.

Prosecution: "The People call David Pecker."

Pecker, 72, provides some biographical information. He's married, and he now does consulting work.

After seeing that Jurors do not currently have notepads, the judge asks those who want them to raise their hands.

Their hands immediately shoot up — a studious bunch.

They are provided with them.

And now a very exhausted Laffy must go do more loading of Mr. POD. I'd say Ms. POD but she's coming for the furniture next week. She took the week off, like any smart POD would.

What a strange cross. Were I a jury member I would be mostly confused - as I've needed outside commentary to sort out what the reasons were for the questions other than opportunities to use the word lie lie lie. I did catch the one zinger before the morning break though: you assume? But no documentation?

By April of 2023 I quit ever even checking on Twitter. I decided today to go back and officially delete my unused and useless account. I was surprised to find so many “sexy young women” (at least according their profile pictures) following me recently. But why? To build fake numbers? Anyway I can’t figure out how to shut the damn thing officially down! Anyone know how to do that now? #Twitter

So did fair #Ivanka wear puffy sleeves and use her little girl voice today?

JenniferSlack, to FreeSpeech
@JenniferSlack@mastodon.social avatar

The university I used to work for has declared "hate speech" constitutionally protected, which should therefore be permitted/supported comfortably even in the classroom. If a professor calls it out - maybe calls "twits," the professor's speech is NOT protected. The prof is sanctioned, removed from the classroom.

I studied the #holocaust in college, met survivors of the camps. I visited Auschwitz and let the reality of the holocaust sink in deeply. I took the lesson of "never again" seriously. But I learned to take "never again" to apply not only to Jews but to Palestinians, indigenous people, migrants, the homeless, and the underprivileged everywhere. Just now, the lives of #Palestinians are in peril and arming the state of Israel to destroy Gaza and Palestinians must be stopped.
