Looks like Donald Trump is going to have an extremely busy 2024.
-
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan summarily rebuffed arguments from disgraced former president Donald Trump’s attorneys that it was necessary to push his federal trial off until April 2026 on Monday. She did, however, agree to a trial date a few months past the January 2024 date proposed by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Trump’s first federal trial will begin on March 4, 2024, she ordered, leaving plenty of time for him to become a convicted felon before facing voters.
-
If that date holds, it’s a major setback for Trump, who sought to delay the case until far after the 2024 presidential election. He currently leads the GOP primary field by upwards of 40 points. A March trial would fall smack-dab in the middle of the Republican Party’s nominating calendar, beginning one day before Super Tuesday on March 5, 2024.
- A March 4 trial would also begin just weeks before a different Trump trial—the New York state hush money trial is set to begin in April, though District Attorney Alvin Bragg has suggested he’d seek to delay that trial if it conflicted with a more urgent federal prosecution. Judge Chutkan said she had spoken “briefly” with the judge presiding over that case. Trump’s lawyer John Lauro is making a big stink about the proposed March federal court date, as he said he and his team received an enormous number of records from Smith’s Justice Department team and that the volume of files combined with the novel legal issues would require significant additional time to sort through.

Judge Chutkan’s decision all but ensures that Trump will have to stand trial in at least three separate criminal cases while also campaigning for the GOP nomination.
Getting pretty tired of these rich guys and their crimes!

A White gunman targeted Black people inside of a Jacksonville, FL, store on Saturday near one of the state's Historically Black Colleges, killing three people. After the shooting, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) flew back to Tallahassee from a presidential campaign trip to Iowa. He also canceled a campaign stop in South Carolina because a major storm is projected to strike on Florida’s Gulf coast on Wednesday, the first of the year’s hurricane season. DeSantis’ “War on Woke” put the way African American history is taught in schools directly in its crosshairs and produced a fallacious, revisionist history curriculum. Consequently, his relationship with the state’s Black community is fraught with distrust and anger. On Sunday, when DeSantis spoke at a vigil for the shooting victims in Jacksonville, he was loudly booed. State Rep. Angie Nixon (D-FL) who represents Jacksonville, called the shooting “a stark reminder of the dangerous consequences of unchecked racism” and chided DeSantis for his “empty gestures” and “publicity stunts.”

At last week’s absolutely deranged GOP primary debate, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) told a story about a person who reportedly survived “multiple abortion attempts” as a cudgel to attack Democrats for supporting safe and legal abortion access. “I know a lady in Florida named Penny…She survived multiple abortion attempts. She was left discarded in a pan. Fortunately, her grandmother saved her and brought her to another hospital,” he said. Sounds pretty terrible, huh? Well, if you can believe such a thing, it turns out the story was strategically fabricated and contained some glaring omissions. Penny is a real person, but the individual who tried to end her life was not a licensed doctor or even an illegal abortion provider, it was her own father…in 1955. Yes, Penny Hopper survived an attempted coat hanger abortion by her father because he believed their family was too impoverished to support a second child, almost two decades before Roe vs. Wade guaranteed the federal right to an abortion, which made the procedure legal in Florida. So to make his grand point on the evils of abortion, Ron DeSantis illustrated what happens when desperate people are not able to safely and legally end a pregnancy. Cool, thanks for that, Ron.
