Good morning and welcome to Day 27 of the Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy trial. Our feathered friends are all in a row today atop the federal courthouse as we fast approach the end of these proceedings. Today we get an early start at 9AM ET. I will post a link to the Daily Kos live blog once its up.

Let's fly!

ACCESSIBILITY TIP: Adding emojis to your display name is terrible for people who use screen readers.

I was just reminded by someone that when you do this (as I had done), then they have to listen to the screen reader read out all the emojis/icons BEFORE getting to your actual post.

So my name came across as:

Thank you to the person who reminded me of this!
