No ruling on the 2nd gag order hearing, so we still await that. But the judge did open with a doozy of a comment directly in response to a lie that Trump told the media last night about his gag order: BREAKING: Judge corrects Trump for lying outside court yesterdayTrump said gag order prevented him from testifyingJudge: you have an absolute right to testify at trial or not & gag order has nothing to do with itMerchan is not tolerating Trump's disinfo campaign! — Norm Eisen (#TryingTrump out now!)

The growing threat of the Republican Party's ties to Christian Nationalism and Project 2025 is terrifying. Watkins helps more people understand the threat we are facing. Rick Wilson urged everyone to read "How Project 2025 Will Ruin Your Life," because the "implications for the country are darker than you may imagine."
