“This indictment must now play out through the legal process, without any outside political or ideological interference. We encourage Mr. Trump's supporters and critics alike to let this case proceed peacefully in court.”
In a normal universe, this is the joint statement issued by leaders of both parties. In our universe, it’s Democrats only.

From today’s New York Times (Peter Baker): “Indictment Brings Trump Story Full Circle
The former president assailed Hillary Clinton for her handling of sensitive information. Now, the same issue threatens his chances of reclaiming the presidency.”

There it is: #ARD, the biggest public broadcaster in the world, opened its own instance for #Mastodon today – https://ard.social
Its flagship news programme gets the first account: @tagesschau@ard.social.
On #Twitter the #Tagesschau has 4 million Followers, I am curious, how much it gets here and how fast. Could give us a hint on how active the german community on #Mastodon still is. The inoffical @tagesschau@squeet.me had amassed 53k Followers, the other public broadcaster @ZDF 13k in three weeks.
