25/ We're back from lunch break. Trump has apparently left for the day. AG spoke outside courtroom:

"I will not sit idly by & subvert the law. And lastly, I will not be bullied. The Donald Trump Show is over. This was nothing more than a political stunt, a fundraising stop."

Hi! I'm Kevin McCarthy and I started palling around with burglars a few months ago. I condoned their behavior when they were breaking into my neighbors' homes. I thought it was fine when they demanded I deactivate my security system as a symbol of our friendship, I did exactly that.

I am shocked this morning to learn they broke into my house after promising they wouldn't.

Imagine Trump promoting his "stolen election" fantasy and other propaganda using millions in federal-government money—taxpayers' money - with the goal of holding power indefinitely. That level of state capture is already the Polish reality.
