D.A. Fani Willis had the courage, the grit, the experience, the facts, and the law to bring Trump to account.
It is so disappointing that an error in her judgment gave Trump’s team the opening they needed to have her removed from the case.

This is the same playbook the Trump administration ran in Portland, where DHS officials falsely accused local police of failing to help them (or not arriving quickly enough). Strikes me as a problem that the government lies so freely to the Supreme Court now. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

I believe Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens have the pulse of the modern MAGA movement going forward.
You can laugh at them and dismiss them as cranks, but you have to pay attention to what they're selling.
