Judge Subramanian has ruled on Sean “Diddy” Combs’s request for an evidentiary hearing over notes taken from his jail cell. He says no hearing is needed.
"The generic nature of the notes makes it unlikely that any improper use of the information has or could be made."

I'm sure you've noticed by now, but what are you all gonna DO to stop the Nazis? And don't say the courts or standing around Brown shirts and not forcing your way past them when they bar reps from entry to sensitive systems.
Please note that they are choosing the weekends to do their dirtiest work.
Whatever they’re high on, they’re working all weekend long to dismantle our government and thinking we won’t notice.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.
