Wonderful to see Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter out today for 25th annual Peanut Festival parade in Plains

It’s a beautiful day for a ride in the red convertible given to them by Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. ☀️🥜

Trump super PAC raised just $40 in August in a sign of weakness. (That's not a typo: 40 bucks.)

Fundraising for one of Donald Trump’s biggest political action committees has slowed dramatically in recent months, according to new election filings, in an early sign that the former president’s escalating legal troubles may be damaging his prospects with donors.

The Make America Great Again, Again! super Pac, which is the only active super Pac affiliated with Trump, raised just $40 in August, after bringing in $351,000 in July and zero in June. In April and May, the group had raised more than double that amount, with $864,000 in total contributions.

That total second-quarter fundraising represented a marked fall from the $4mn-$5mn raised in the fourth quarter of last year and the first quarter of this year.

The sharp drop-off in fundraising came as the Save America political action committee, which holds the vast majority of the donations, spent $3.8mn on legal fees — the most the Pac has spent on such costs in a single month during the entire 2022 campaign cycle.

Sweet vindication - Judge Cannon implements the 11th Circuit opinion

Following the 11th Circuit's stay, Judge Cannon amends her special master order, excluding approx 100 documents marked classified from the review of what may be personal/privileged.

The ~100 documents bearing classified markings have been removed from the Special Master's review process, allowing DOJ to resume using them in its criminal investigation.

Will Trump appeal to SCOTUS?

The House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, has come to an agreement with Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, to be interviewed by the panel in the coming weeks, according to a source close to the committee.

Ginni Thomas’ attorney, Mark Paoletta, confirmed the voluntary interview in a statement, saying, “As she has said from the outset, Mrs. Thomas is eager to answer the Committee’s questions to clear up any misconceptions about her work relating to the 2020 election. She looks forward to that opportunity.”
