Quotes:
“State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal has made a habit of introducing bills aimed at former President Donald Trump, and Tuesday’s indictment has given him inspiration for his latest one: a proposal to allow cameras in New York courts in an effort to draw even more eyeballs to his indictment and trial.”
Hoylman-Sigal asserted that New Yorkers are “repulsed” by the former president’s actions, including inciting the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol and not disclosing his tax records.
“I take a special responsibility as a New Yorker – the original home state of Donald Trump – to ensure that the public gets the truth about his background,” Hoylman-Sigal said. “It’s our responsibility to bring those issues to bear.”
state lawmakers, particularly Hoylman-Sigal, have for years proposed bills targeted specifically at Trump to make his life just a little bit more difficult.
Perhaps the most high profile examples came in 2019, when the state Legislature approved not one but two bills aimed at the then president. The first, called the TRUST Act, sponsored by Hoylman-Sigal and former Assembly Member David Buchwald, permitted the state Department of Taxation and Finance to turn over Trump’s tax returns to Congress if certain committees in the body requested them.
The legislation passed in 2019 after similar legislation called the Tax Returns Uniformly Made Public – or TRUMP – Act, also sponsored by Hoylman-Sigal failed to pass that year and in years past. It would require presidential and vice presidential candidates to file five years worth of federal tax returns with the state Board of Elections.

I will once again vote for President Trump.
Many false allegations and political persecutions have come Trump’s way since 2016. All baseless accusations.
This American has decided.
We are now a banana republic.
Thanks Mitch.

Quote from Wikipedia:
From May 2015 to December 2016, during the campaign for the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Biaggi served as Deputy National Operations Director for the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign. She oversaw a staff of 200, and a budget of $500 million. She said: “Everything was urgent in the moment. It was total chaos and I loved it. We played very hard, and it was very hard to lose.”

Hopefully McConnell will be dead by the next election.
I would tend to agree with you, but the 22 mids did not reflect that train of thought. Of course I’m in the “fixed” election camp so the 22 mids didn’t surprise me......and yes I voted anyway. Voting in Texas is somewhat better than say PA or AZ.
Lindsey Graham opening his mouth up about national abortion bans spooked “independents” imho…. As we know…. Gen z love their ability to kill babies.
it’s possible, but the need for killing the unborn didn’t drive enough people to diaper Joe to get 81 million votes.
No that was 400 million from Zuck
McConnell and his Chinese wife are dirt bag traitors.
