If she moved the trial back now, the Fulton county case would slot it right after the DC prosecution because Fani Willis wants to go to trial ASAP. I'm curious to see what sort of trial date she gets... she might even try for something before March on the off chance the DC trial gets delayed by interlocutory appeals.

Actually, I'm wondering if Chesebro will beat him to it. It's pretty clear that Chesebro is desperate to avoid prison--first, the extremely quick request for a speedy trial, then his failed bid to avoid being linked with Powell. Whoever flips first will probably get the sweetest deal from Willis. It's obvious this decision will raise Meadows' stress level. As reluctant as Chesebro is to admit guilt, he's got to be worrying about what happens if someone else flips first, and given the number of co-defendants, it's pretty likely that at least some of them will try to.

This, IMO, is the big development of the day. I have no doubt that having to do a mugshot has wounded Trump's ego (which could lead to some ill-advised tweeting), but in the long run, Chesebro going to trial in two months will do more damage. The pool of 19 defendants is going to keep fracturing. I'm guessing that those who can't afford the legal fees of a lengthy defense won't move to sever their cases. With a trial coming up so soon, they'll be more motivated to flip. So it's quickly becoming a game of who squeals first.

Can't wait for the panicked responses from TrumpWorld.

In this case, I don't think it's a matter of "so he'll show up in court" as opposed to "so he'll stop shitposting". Which he won't. My wild-ass guess is that the sequence will be Trump violates bond conditions-->original bond is forfeited and new bond is set at a much higher amount, say $1,000,000-->Trump violates second bond--->bond revoked, Trump remanded into custody.

Any lawyers around who can tell us when this bond agreement takes effect? Today, when it was signed, or not until after he's been booked? I ask because Trump is still shooting his mouth off on Truth Social. If the agreement took effect as soon as it was signed, Trump's already violated the conditions.

Uh huh, and later he'll claim he can't present the report because he's been silenced by whichever judge or prosecutor he's most pissed off at that day. If only his First Amendment rights weren't being violated, he could clear this all up!

Causing permanent damage to your platform is an interesting definition of winning. I occasionally do a drive-by on some of my old subs although I haven't commented or voted on anything in some time. The pace on big subs like r/news and r/politics is markedly slower than it was three months ago. There are fewer threads and I have the impression that there are fewer posts per thread as well. Looks like many of the mods who have been booted are being replaced with people who mod 50+ subs, so basically the subs will be completely automoderated. I'd expect to see a lot of bad mod calls and little in the way of a nurturing atmosphere which isn't going to help matters. The enshittification continues.

Democrats fear the Green Party could offer voters an enticing alternative

Okay, so what's keeping Democrats from offering something enticing? Medicare For All comes immediately to mind as a broadly popular policy. If a Republican win next year means fascism, shouldn't the Democratic leadership be deeply worried about that? Shouldn't they be pulling out all the stops?
