This is legit wild. One of the Trumpiest GOP kooks we’ve had holding high office here in Texas makes an absolute spot-on, beautiful, non-partisan call for government transparency against the governor’s attempt to hide his emails with Elon Musk.
Since so many missed it, let me share it without comment:

In a scathing opinion, Judge Ana Reyes concludes that the Trump admin. had settled on a plan to turn East Potomac Park into the elite golf course Trump has been wanting to see built in D.C., all while DOJ represented in court that nothing happening, including DOI felling 400+ trees, was related.

The Trump administration now holds equity stakes in 40 private companies. And politicians on both sides of the aisle are planning to build on the precedent. Cato's Tad DeHaven explains why this is a bipartisan threat to free enterprise. #CatoRFE https://ow.ly/ZBNI51015Gl

In 2016, Jared Kushner was panicking. While his dad was in prison, he’d been suckered into overpaying for a building and by 2016 the debt was threatening to bankrupt him. Then Trump was elected. After Qatar refused to bail him out, Saudi Arabia jumped in. www.middleeasteye.net/news/qatar-c...

Every single one of these prior declinations was done under Trump. Every single one of these new charges involves a promotion of the person who indicted. He also has nominated two of the EDNC players to be judges.
Depending on how you count, the charges Trump has filed against Comey have been declined 5X: Lying abt leaking to Richman: Declined in 2019, EDVA declined, then Halligan charged 8647: USSS declined to charge, then charged in EDNC Yahoo: declined by John Durham 2017, then again by Barr in 2020
