He has reissued a narrowed Deutsche Bank subpoena this week. w/ @Zacharyhttps://t.co/gBNbsinFNH
The renewed subpoena is a response to the Supreme Court's ruling last month in the Mazars case. Schiff moved to limit the scope of certain requests from Deutsche Bank, even though he says the original subpoena met the court's requirements.

UPDATE: The House has now formally asked the appeals court to expedite its effort to resolve the Deutsche Bank subpoena. In a 10-page filing, they say they're getting nowhere in negotiations with Trump's team and need the documents urgently.

The RNC speakers - from unhinged to weird to just soulless careerists - are the kind of people who convinced me that the United States and our civil rights are far safer in the hands of Democrats, whatever the flaws of the modern Democratic Party.

About 26,000 cellphones showed up on the Las Vegas Strip in a 4-day period in mid-July. You can see where else in the U.S. those same phones showed up in the same 4-day period. Las Vegas casinos are a likely hotbed for the spread of COVID-19.

Republicans tried to claim their political ancestors, casting back to Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican President. The problem is that the Republicans and the politics of 1860 bear almost zero resemblance to the GOP of today.
