It can be discouraging to see our legal system be woefully unprepared to deal with the attacks on our democracy, so I’ve started to shift my focus to posting more information about what we can do to win the 2024 election. While my faith in some institutions is shaky, I do have GREAT faith in the American people. We are the heroes we need to save our country.
With that, be sure to check out my call to action this week!
Good News
Biden’s campaign has raised $130M; Trump’s has only raised $65M.
A bipartisan panel of judges in North Carolina ruled that the Republican attempt to restructure all of the state’s election boards was unconstitutional.
Focus groups with Wisconsin swing voters revealed that they primarily blame the Republicans and Trump for the collapse of the bill that would have fixed many problems at the border.
In Georgia’s primary election this week, well over 77,000 people voted for Nikki Haley over Trump even though she dropped out last week. That’s 13% of Republican primary voters. (Trump lost Georgia in 2020 by 11,779 votes.)
Mike Pence went on Fox News to say he would not be endorsing Trump.
Former Trump aide Peter Navarro has been ordered to report to prison on March 19 to start his 4 month sentence for refusing to comply with a Congressional subpoena.
Judge Aileen Cannon denied Trump’s motion to dismiss his federal classified documents case based on “unconstitutional vagueness.”
Trump’s attempt to disqualify Fulton Country District Attorney Fani Willis did not work. A judge ruled that she could stay on the case as long as she solved the conflict of interest. (Which has already happened.)
Democrats won two special elections in the New Hampshire state legislature.
A settlement has been reached in the challenge civil rights attorneys brought against Florida re: the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Students and teachers now CAN discuss sexual orientation and gender identity in Florida classrooms, provided it’s not part of instruction. It also doesn’t apply to library books not being used for instruction in the classroom.
