"As former members of the commission, we are concerned that the commission is being used in this inappropriate way. The profile and clarity of the Trump/Stefanik ploy to use the commission should not be tolerated or in any way enabled."

@lawofruby It is not improper or unusual in NYS Courts for law clerks (in NY they’re called court attorneys) to be seated at the bench next to the judge and to be in regular communication with the judge. What is unusual and improper is for attorneys to comment negatively on that practice.

@AnnaBower @JoyceWhiteVance @AWeissmann_ @BarbMcQuade Thank you. DA Willis is the first Black Female elected DA of Fulton County. She has extensive experience with the Georgia RICO statute. More than former federal prosecutors. Her office, under her direction, put this case together. Onward.

Yes, the media has a double standard. It favors Trump, not Harris.

Kamala Harris said 19 words in 2018 that taught us all we need to know.Curious about what kind of candidate she’ll be? Her dismantling of Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his confirmation hearing is worth a rewatch.⁦ @MonicaHesse
