One hundred thirty thousand dollars. Two days of deliberation. Thirty-four “Guilty!” proclamations. Twelve ordinary citizens. May 30, 2024, will forever be the day that marked a new era in American history, when Donald J. Trump became the first former president to receive a felony conviction.
But what does it all mean…
For our country as a whole?
For the political party who is poised to coronate Trump as their candidate just four days after his criminal trial sentencing?

Hot off the press this morning from Diana….
Written a year ago just ahead of the indictment, but relevant for today.
Robby's comment on 10 and 12 was really powerful and I wish the media could repeat that... 12 ordinary citizens did something that 10 republicans could not find the moral courage to do! Wow. This is such a simple yet profound observation.
I feel very grateful for the jury's dedicated deliberations for a difficult case with risks of being targeted by the 45th U.S. president-- a current presidential candidate spreading the "persecution complex" & preparing Project 2025.
Love the Convocation! The Convocation Unscripted is super helpful for processing & thought provoking--with some humor too.
