Users on far-right online forums are publishing private information about members of the Georgia grand jury that indicted former president Donald Trump and 18 of his allies in a sweeping criminal case focused on alleged 2020 election interference earlier this month, leading to jurors receiving threats online....
If I'm not mistaken, Trump was given very clear orders from the bench not to run his mouth online to disparage any members of the jury, interact with them, or intimidate them. This situation is that Brooklyn 99 meme of Holt saying, "Why did you start intimidating the jury? I specifically requested that you don't."
The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee is expected to open a congressional investigation into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as soon as Thursday, a source tells CNN – the same day former President Donald Trump is slated to surrender at the county jail after being charged for participating in schemes to...
I bet they're going to subpoena her for a hearing the day-of or after the start of the Fulton trial just to delay the trial for Trump and then maybe he can cry unfair that his constitutional right to a speedy trial was violated.
Why do they still carry water for this goon?

Although this blog is discussing law at a deep level, this is not addressing law related to public policy and therefore is not political in nature. This is not what this magazine is intended for. Removed.
Former President Trump’s decision to skip the first Republican presidential primary debate is fueling Republican angst that his rivals will have little opportunity to catch up to him in the polls....
I'm truly baffled at how this guy's polling could do even better after the Georgia indictment, but I guess if you legitimately believe he is the Messiah (which, note that his supporters have conspicuously dropped all the second coming of Jesus rhetoric around him), then it's believable that the whole world and system will persecute him because he's just too good for this world and evil is jealous of his pure righteousness. I say this to mock christians who view 45 as the new Jesus, not to mock all of Christianity.
You would think that the GOP - all these fucking barnacles on the bloated carcass that is 45 - would start getting on board with this Amendment 14 strategy to disqualify him for running for POTUS again a la the Ides of March style. Banding together - and hell, not even reaching across the aisle for God-forbid bipartisanship - to depose 45 fully would finally create enough power vacuum for them to divvy up or for at least a new strongman to step up. Even if they quibble at it, reminiscent of the GOP primary in 2012 with - what? 15 podiums of pretenders at the first primary debate? - it would finally free up the sheer volume of resources that are constantly flowing to 45 for other political darlings to leverage.

In 2016, when it became clear that Donald Trump would become president, media outlets across the U.S. were blindsided by the results. They pledged to do better representing the larger communities that make up America. That included conservatives, those in rural areas (a complex group on its own) and, yes, Latinos....
It may just be a ruse to support the lawsuit to swing in her favor, but she may also be somewhat cash poor if her wealth is tied up in properties and stocks or other equities. Just because she's worth several million doesn't mean that she has that cash sitting in the bank account, though I agree it raises a lot of questions about how she pays monthly obligations then.
I just can't imagine signing over power of attorney and then not seeing that as the clear sign to retire.

The university acknowledged mistakes were made after they reduced an offer with tenure for Kathleen McElroy, a veteran journalist and academic, after conservative backlash.
I read the OGC report and my interpretation is that it was heavily implied that her race was a factor in why non-university sources were bitching and moaning about her hiring to members of the board of regents, who were uncharacteristically involved in asking the president about this hiring.
Like just because no one on the record says "don't hire a black woman" doesn't mean they aren't all dog whistling to each other about her race.
In the OGC report, at one point the BoR or president expressed concern about "the optics" of hiring someone who's done research in a DEI topic/worked on at least one committee to increase representation in newsrooms during the last state legislative session, under which a law was signed by piss baby Abbott to make it illegal to consider diversity in the hiring process. The OGC report is clear that the president intervened to delay McElroy's hire date until after the end of that legislative session at the very least.
I'm glad A&M settled, but I think she should have sued for more. It's funny that she made more money off this than if she had worked there 5 years in the original offer...

Hi @Jaysyn . I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Alternet.org has a reliability score on the Media Bias Chart below this magazine's required threshold.

I've seen drag queens talking about how anti-trans laws are written in such a way to not only harm trans people, but also cispeople who are not gender conforming, whether gay or straight. It is seriously alarming how broad these attacks are.
I've been waiting my whole life for a transman comedian to tell the joke: I don't know why republicans hate me. I'm a self-made man. Isn't that what they want?
Hi @rdeets, I know it's been several hours since you've created this post, but the Mod Team needed time to discuss the nature of this submission. I would have preferred to give you very quick input on this, but this was a situation that we didn't anticipate happening and as such don't have a current rule in place.
It is apparent that you have posted content that you are the author of, for which a couple of us dislike the self-promotion and some of us feel indifferent/support self-promotion. It is clear that this is a self-published blog and not a reputable source of information vis a vis our media bias chart, in which case the Mods reserve the right to remove content based on personal discretion about reliability, not about viewpoint alignment. It seems as though the content of this submission is researched and balanced enough. However, the fact that it exists behind a soft paywall of sorts (intrusive pop-up on site encouraging registering at substack.com) rankles the majority of the Mod Team, despite the fact there are no other visible ads on this blog site. I also am going to point out that the publication date for this (July 11) is more than two weeks old, and the title is lacking a label, which is something I have commented to you before to please include when submitting to our magazine.
The Mod Team has decided not to remove this content at this time on the basis that we did not have any direct rules running contrary to such action, and that to create a rule today would be evidently reactionary to you in specific.
What I will add though is that we came to a consensus that content like this - though permissible here - should never be posted in the future as a Link submission, presenting itself on par with current journalism. Instead, we ask that in the future if you want to post content like this, you should create a Thread submission, label it "Discussion:"/"[Discussion]", include a title that is a clearly stated prompt or question to generate discussion, and then type something in the body of the submission to start the conversation in which you can include a link to your blog. By posting as a Discussion Thread, you gain the added benefit of checking the "OC" box (if present in the submission form from lemmy.world).
Ultimately, your blog meets our expectations as stated in the sidebar for educational/informative, but it should not be presented as tantamount to journalism. This is a research paper at best, and offers little to no analysis. The feedback provided in this comment passes absolutely no judgment on the viewpoint/skew of the content in this submission.
