BREAKING: Donald Trump is dealt a crushing blow as a New York appeals court brutally rejects his attempt to end the gag order in his hush money trial.
And it gets even better...
"We find that Justice Merchan properly weighed petitioner’s First Amendment Rights against the court’s historical commitment to ensuring the fair administration of justice in criminal cases, and the right of persons related or tangentially related to the criminal proceedings from being free from threats, intimidation, harassment, and harm," the court ruled.
Trump's team was desperately trying to convince the court that the gag order is unfair because it supposedly limits his right to free speech and prevents him from responding to testimony from Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen.
Of course, Trump doesn't want to deliver some kind of level-handed response to Daniels and Cohen, he wants to smear and witness intimidate them.
"Justice Merchan properly determined that petitioner’s public statements posed a significant threat to the integrity of the testimony of witnesses and potential witnesses in this case as well," wrote the appeals court.

I think Trump’s problem here is that, even to his followers, he’s not worth the subway fare. – at Hoboken, NJ
Trump railed on Truth Social today that his supporters are being kept from getting near the courthouse. But the area designated for his supporters is just across the street, and no more than two to three dozen have shown up @jonathanvswan @nateschweber me nytimes.com/2024/04/22/us/po…

BREAKING: Beloved actor John Leguizamo lays down some cold hard truths to the Latino voters who support Donald Trump with an epic Spanish-profanity laden rant that's spreading like wildfire through MAGA world.
This is incredible...
Smashing a piñata while swearing during an appearance on The Daily Show, Leguizamo took aim at a new poll that showed Trump leading Biden among Latino voters. 46% said they'd vote for Trump, 40% said Biden.
"You may be thinking, how is this possible? ‘Build the wall’ Donald Trump? ‘Mass deportations’ Donald Trump? ‘Guy who thinks Daddy Yankee is a baseball player’ Donald Trump?" asked Leguizamo.
"But the truth is, in 2024, Latino voters have something else on their minds," he added, as the segment cut to a report about Latino voters worried about inflation.
The aforementioned poll also revealed that 93% of Hispanic respondents had negative things to say about current food/consumer good prices.
Ironically, electing Donald Trump will make inflation skyrocket due to his harebrained scheme to devalue the U.S. dollar to cut trade deficits.
"Well, here’s what you can count on, though. No matter what Trump says about inflation, he doesn’t like us and he doesn’t want us here," said Leguizamo.
The actor took special aim at Trump's stunningly racist remarks that we need more immigrants from "nice countries, you know like Denmark, Switzerland."
"Donald, stop beating around the bush. We want nice people, Swiss people, ski instructors, Wes Anderson fans. Just say ‘white people,’" said Leguizamo.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Leguizamo for bravely telling the truth — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

The North Atlantic is in uncharted territory.
The entire ocean basin is a record-smashing 1.5°C above normal, as millions of square miles of ocean experience strong to severe marine heatwaves.
Off the coast of Canada, ocean temperatures are up to 9°C (16°F) above average!
These record-warm temperatures are already having devastating impacts on marine ecosystems. In Florida, water temperatures have soared as high as 98°F (36.7°C), with coral bleaching ongoing and expected to rapidly ramp up throughout the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean in the coming weeks.
Record-warm ocean temperatures in the Atlantic will also fuel potentially stronger hurricanes and a more active hurricane season. More heat in the ocean equals more energy, increasing the upper limit of hurricane strength and thus exponentially increasing the damage potential of storms.
For example, a 110 mph Category 2 hurricane has over 2x the damage potential of a 100 mph Category 2 storm.
With over a month until water temperatures typically peak, the North Atlantic is just 0.1°C away from tying the all-time record for its highest ocean temperature (set last year), which it will inevitably break in the coming days.

If @HouseGOP wants new Jan 6 hearings, bring it on. Let’s replay every witness & all the evidence from last year. But this time, those members who sought pardons and/or hid from subpoenas should sit on the dais so they can be confronted on live TV with the unassailable evidence.
