In 2022, Donald Trump sued me and others associated with the Clinton campaign for RICO. We did not cave. We fought. First, we won in a Florida trial court. Today, we won in the 11th Circuit.
To the law firms, media corps and billionaires who bow down: Learn a lesson. Have some dignity and fight.

Notice that MAGA never refers to Putin as a “warmonger.” You know, the guy who started the war, bombs civilian population centers daily, & refuses to sign a ceasefire. Nope, according to MAGA, Putin isn’t the warmonger - it’s the people who support Ukraine’s refusal to surrender.

This race is close and, given how much Democrats outperformed the polls a few weeks ago, a win is actually possible.
But even a narrow loss in a gerrymandered district Trump won by 22 points last year would be a sign of significant progress.
