Teri KanefieldThanks, Tawtovo, for reminding me.
Here is the Washington Posts's roundup.
When they go beyond the facts, they make very safe assessments and predictions.
They're also obviously trying to keep the tone calm. They even say as much.

Someone mentioned that the jury selection in New York will be lit.
I would imagine every New Yorker wants to be on that jury.
Completely personal observation:
Trump was lucky to draw 1 (of many) sympathetic judge. When I practiced in California it seemed like almost all judges were sympathetic to the prosecution and hostile to the defense. Most judges were former prosecutors. Some seemed eager to help the prosecution.
In high profile cases they usually try to look good.

Sean McCabe@Teri_Kanefield
I don't want it to be 'lit'...I want it to be over in a week. I know that Trump's lawyers will file all kinds of objections..."We don't know if juror #263 voted Democrat in 1988! MISTRIAL!!!"
I just hope Merchan and Bragg smooth walk it despite the theatrics.
@Teri_Kanefield Also, I'm looking forward to your coverage of the trial.
I am not going to cover the trial. For one thing, doing it right would be a full time job.
I'd advise against listening to legal pundits and commentary for all the reasons I talked about in the last two blog posts. Stick to factual coverage as much possible.

I'll have to follow the @GottaLaff filter then. Swearing off daytime MSNBC after 10 days in Mexico which I feel was a cleansing of my anxiety gland.
Tequila>toxic TV.
I can imagine. I can't even bear to look at Twitter or Threads these days. It's stomach churning.
This is the only place I ever chat anymore.
