Good: A federal jury is now weighing the fate of former Trump WH adviser Peter Navarro on charges that he refused a demand from the House #J6 select CMTE to produce docs & testimony.

Navarro faces two counts of criminal contempt of Congress for what prosecutors say was brazen defiance of the panel’s effort to obtain evidence about his knowledge & involvement in TFG’s bid to subvert the 2020 election. Each charge carries a max. of one year in prison🚨.

"For the first time since 1859, there is no Senate-confirmed commandant of the Marine Corps. The recent retirement of the Army’s chief of staff and the departure of the Chief of Naval Operations on Monday has left three of our military services without Senate-confirmed leaders for the first time in the Defense Department’s history."

"Last week, Melber's show released a video showing Stone detailing the fake electors scheme to his lackeys on November 5, 2020 — before the major news networks called the election. That proves, yet again, that -> the coup plan predates the election <- and was not, as Trump apologists claim, merely a reaction to a "sincere" belief that the election was stolen.

In this entire article, there is not one mention of the outsized influence of the #rich over the US political process.

It talks about divisions between the left and right, but NOT between the rich and the working classes.

And when talking about imbalances in judicial appointees, not one word is written about the #GOPObstruction of almost every Obama nominee.

The writers deliberately ignore two of the major causes of political dysfunction in the USA.

Three years already. He will be out before we have cleaned up the #GOPObstruction and the reek of the #GOPCorruption these past 30-40 years.

Out with the trash. Better things to do. #Trump #Bannon #Kushner #Barr #Meadows #Comey #Stone #Epstein ... seriously?

#Senate #Republicans #MarshaBlackburn (R-TN) & #ThomTillis (R-NC), of the #SenateJudiciaryCommittee say they’ll #obstruct a temp replacement for Sen #DianneFeinstein (D-CA), whose extended health-related absence has stalled #confirmations of Pres #Biden’s judicial nominees. Only judges w/some Republican support can move to the floor w/o her tiebreaking vote.

"The Pentagon is raising alarm over one Republican senator’s bid to block the promotion of nearly 160 senior U.S. military officers... labeling the political showdown a threat to national security.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin... warned that by impeding these officers’ promotions, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) had caused a “ripple effect in the force that makes us far less ready than we need to be.”"
