It's not the war in Israel. Nothing much has changed there. Nor is it the online and real world clashes between enraged camps of pro-Israel and pro-Palestinians, again not much has changed.
It's not the ongoing dysfunction of the House GOP, as nothing has changed there either.
Oh, not Ukraine, not that anyone cares anymore.
Nope, the most important story of the day is Sidney Powell flipping on Donald Trump in the Georgia election case. Powell was in the room with Trump and his closest associates when plans were made to pressure Georgia's election workers. She was also an unindicted co-conspirator in the DC elections case, but once you flip the first time, it's pretty easy to keep flipping.
Maybe Powell was just a mouthpiece sent out to parrot insane talking points from others. But the scope of the plea deal suggests that she is offering something of real value to Fani Willis. I'm guessing Jack Smith will know what she knows fairly soon, if he doesn't already.
With Powell flipping, the pressure is now on other defendants to flip or they will go to prison. Willis (and Smith) only truly care about Trump. They will lighten the sentences of anyone who will take a plea deal.
The odds of Trump being in prison on election day next year just increased by quite a bit.
