Peacock Fairywren.
The term "peacock fairywren" is not the formal name of a specific species but a descriptive, informal name sometimes used for the Superb Fairywren (Malurus cyaneus) due to the male's striking blue breeding plumage.

Misinformation *is* central to democratic problems today, but the solution is *not* to correct such epistemic failures directly. Instead, we must address them at their roots, in social identity.

What makes this particularly monstrous is that, if Wikipedia is to be believed, Kelly has a 14-year-old daughter. Someone ought to see if they can get her to be a little more specifically about her beliefs on this topic.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

HOLY COW. Basically, as folks note in the comments. Halligan allowed the court reporter to believe they were done for the day but then called the Grand Jury back. There is no judge, etc at these. So very likely she reconvened with no court reporter.
I can't see how charges stand if that's true.

Today, the judge deciding the legality of Lindsey Halligan's appointment said the court reporter stopped transcribing grand jury proceedings in the Comey case at 4:28 PM. That's over TWO HOURS that's missing.
