Nixon tried to have the subpoena quashed, arguing among other things, that the federal court was not allowed to decide the matter. Nixon’s position was that DOJ, an executive branch agency under the supervision, was fighting an “intra-branch” battle against the White House. According to Nixon, the special prosecutor was simply an executive branch functionary; Nixon as chief executive did not have to answer to the special prosecutor in court. 5/

Jack Smith today formally appealed Judge Aileen Cannon’s dismissal of the United States suit against Donald Trump for wrongfully keeping national defense materials and obstructing the investigation of his wrongful conduct. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/special-counsel-appeals-court-trump-documents-case/ I thought it might be useful to put the case in the broader context of the fight to hold the U.S. President - whoever holds the office - accountable to rule of law. 1/

Now, we fight like hell to make her President.

Wow. Kamala Harris is trying to say something nuanced about the Middle East in a setting where nuance is so tough. I think she is succeeding.

Friends, we must elect Kamala Harris and a Democratic Congress. That is the only way we will get an assault weapons ban and other gun control measures.

Mastodon for Harris Match-a-thon: $135 raised toward the first $500 in a matching donation. I’m the first matcher, and I will post my receipt when you make me give at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris. We have a lineup up of another 7 matchers, so let’s go at a good clip!

@tchambers Great! We now have six people who have put up almost $3000 in match money! @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews

Hello friends. I am hoping this final night of Dem Convention will be a big night for the Mastodon For Harris fundraiser. To that end, I thought it might be fun to do some matching. I will start by matching the first $500 worth of contributions starting at 5:30 pm Central (when the main session will be gaveled in). For now, I'm seeking others who might be willing to offer a match. If you are, please DM or email me at hlfgulc at gmail dot com.

More on how this will work if enough interest. 1/

If you, like me, are willing to make a bigger donation than you otherwise would to the Mastodon For Harris fundraiser to match what others give, please dm or email me at hlfgulc at gmail dot com with the amount you are willing to donate if others put in that much. I will keep track of what comes in during the evening and will ping you if/when it is your turn to match. If you feel like it, you can post about your participation, but not necessary. You tell me whether or not to use your name. 2/

Ok! In addition to me, we have two more matchers willing to put up $500 apiece to match contributions tonight to the Mastodon for Harris fundraiser. If you are interested in participating as a matcher, please contact me by dm or at hlfgulc at gmail dot com. The more the merrier.
My initial thread seeking matchers starts at https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/113007403809980303

Tim Walz shows what it means to be a liberated man, one free from misogyny. Without fuss or angst, he supports Kamala Harris to be the next President of the United States.

Among the reasons I keep raising funds for #Harris is the horror and disgust I still feel about #Jan6. If you can, please contribute. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris

Michelle Obama is making the case for our Mastodon for Harris fundraiser. #HarrisWalz2024 will need every dollar we can raise to rebut the efforts to defeat them. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris
