Would it work for the jurors in Trump's current fraud trial

to be open about their identities? We know (and they probably know, too) that the media and Trump legal team will leak their information anyway. Trying to remain secret intensifies fear among the jurors. Would it undercut the psychological leverage that Trump and his legal team are holding over them?

It would be expensive, but should the justice system provide protection for the jurors and their families during the trial?

I don't know if this is the right forum for my question.

When looking up information on the recent solar eclipse, I came across references to a couple of comets that would be visible this spring or summer.

Does anybody know what the comets are, when and where they would appear, bow visible they would be, and for how long?

I remember seeing the Hale-Bopp comet, clearly visible with its tail, for quite a few nights. I know that not all comets are so clearly visible, but I wonder about comets for this spring and summer.

How do you search for a forum using an android phone?

I have looked in the correct grouping, in this case, the Alliance group. I have found other forums that I know are related to it but not the one that I want.

Specifically, there was an OP in the Religion forum that showed up in Latest Threads that I wanted to respond to, but got interrupted before I could. When I went back to look for it, I could not find the Religion forum anywhere. The list of forums on my phone looked incomplete, like there should be a 2nd page.

November is Native American heritage month.

There are many online sources of current political and social issues that Native Americans face today, as well as sources on cultures and Native American history.

As with any ethnic or cultural group, not all Native Americans agree on politics, but they are a significant voting group when motivated to turn out, and often lean Democratic. Following is an analysis of Native votes in recent elections.

You can learn more about this often overlooked part of our big tent this month through Native American Heritage Month programs and celebrations.
