Trump falls asleep every day in court and it's crickets.

After Hur's lies about Biden's cognition appeared, the NY Times published *30* stories in four days, including opinion pieces questioning whether Biden had dementia or should run for reelection. Trump falls asleep every day in court and it's crickets. 🙃

No body is testifying from memory here and the jury is seeing this stuff from when it was happening in writing.

Note - one striking thing about most of the testimony is that it’s from contemporaneous texts and emails between these people. Nobody is testifying from memory here and the jury is seeing this stuff from when it was happening in writing.

Formula 1: Miami Grand Prix sends cease and desist letter to prevent Donald Trump fundraiser during race

The Miami Grand Prix is looking to prevent a fundraiser being held for former President Donald Trump at Sunday’s race.

Race organizers sent a cease and desist letter to Steven Witkoff, a prominent fundraiser for the GOP nominee. Per the Washington Post, Trump is planning to attend the race, and Witkoff’s golf club had advertised a trip to the race in a suite that would have been an event for Trump.

“It has come to our attention that you may be using your Paddock Club Rooftop Suite for a political purpose, namely raising money for a federal election at $250,000 per ticket, which clearly violates the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix suite license agreement,” read the letter, which was obtained by The Washington Post. “If this is true, we regret to inform you that your suite license will be revoked, you will not be allowed to attend the race at any time, and we will refund you in full.”


Trump has resided in South Florida since leaving the White House in 2021 after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden. Witkoff, 67, is a real estate developer and longtime supporter of the former president.

The president also struck a serious note, urging the media to stayed focused on the implications of November’s election. “I’m sincerely not asking you to take sides,” he said. “I’m asking you to rise up to the seriousness of the moment. Move past the horse-race numbers and the gotcha moments, and the distractions, the sideshows that have come to dominate and sensationalise our politics and focus on what’s actually at stake.
