We are introducing legislation to ban "no-knock" warrants, the type of warrant that led to Breonna Taylor's death. We are looking for citizen co-sponsors. Basically a list that will have your first name, last initial, and town to show people across PA support this. If you are comfortable and interested in adding your name to that list, you can fill out a quick form in the link below.

FFS Mark Meadows is a bomb thrower. Caught a few minutes of his performance on CNN going on and on about China and the China Virus. Its their fault. He does a good trump with the brain damage of 'no one ever heard of this virus 6 months ago'.

Mark Meadows and Donald Trump's talking points of the day are basically that the White House is Donald Trump's home, and politicians talk from their home all the time. now there's nothing more nauseating than the thought of Donald Trump calling the White House home as if it's one of his possessions. People's house anyone? Not the damn roach motel

This is the least objectionable illegal thing he has considered doing. In my opinion, this is a responsible decision, and he shouldn't be criticized for it.

Granted, we've already decided breaking laws don't matter.

NY will get after Trump, Junior, Jared, Ivanka, and possibly Erik Prince, but the best speculation is that this time it's not Trump-related. NRA perhaps?

Alan Lichtman has his "13 Keys" theory on predicting presidential elections, and his record is unblemished, he even called Trump.

Absent the economic effects of corona, his model would call a Trump win in November, but as it stands he scores it 7-6 for Biden.

Oh boy.

The New York prosecutors who are seeking President Trump’s tax records have also subpoenaed his longtime lender, a sign that their criminal investigation into Mr. Trump’s business practices is more wide-ranging than previously known.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office issued the subpoena last year to Deutsche Bank, which has been Mr. Trump’s primary lender since the late 1990s, seeking financial records that he and his company provided to the bank, according to four people familiar with the inquiry.

The criminal investigation initially appeared to be focused on hush-money payments made in 2016 to two women who have said they had affairs with Mr. Trump.

But in a court filing this week, prosecutors with the district attorney’s office cited “public reports of possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization” and suggested that they were also investigating possible crimes involving bank and insurance fraud.

Because of its longstanding and multifaceted relationship with Mr. Trump, Deutsche Bank has been a frequent target of regulators and lawmakers digging into the president’s opaque finances. But the subpoena from the office of the district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., appears to be the first instance of a criminal inquiry involving Mr. Trump and his dealings with the German bank, which lent him and his company more than $2 billion over the past two decades.

Deutsche Bank complied with the subpoena. Over a period of months last year, it provided Mr. Vance’s office with detailed records, including financial statements and other materials that Mr. Trump had provided to the bank as he sought loans, according to two of the people familiar with the inquiry.

It has to be related that I saw something earlier this week WRT Deutsche Bank performing an internal investigation on the 'personal backer' from Trump and Kushner(s). That married with the bolded new bit regarding complying with records requests, and something about access to IRS information (thought I heard that on NRP) is pretty big.
