The first nor'easter of the season is on the way. While not overly impactful, it will bring a (needed) slug of rain, some wind and minor coastal flooding. Unfortunately, areas with the deepest drought will miss a bulk of the rain (though all of New England is dry). #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #VTwx

NYT reports that Letitia James’s great niece lives in the home that is the subject of the indictment.

The niece reportedly testified before a *different* grand jury, telling them that she had lived there for many years without paying rent. James visits regularly.

But in June, IMs. Thompson testified to a grand
jury in Norfolk that she had lived in the house for years and that she did not pay rent, a person familiar with her testimony said. She was not asked to testify again, and the grand jury that voted to indict Ms. James was not seated in Norfolk, but in Alexandria.
The specter of Mr. Trump's revenge campaign has so far overshadowed the facts of the case, given how he has pushed for Ms. James's punishment. For years, he has railed against her on social media, calling her a "crook" and
"corrunt" Last month. he also appointed Ms.

The family, Nakia Thompson and her children, have lived at the address ever since, according to two people familiar with the home, and until this week, the plan for a more lacid existence had largely gone as expected. Several times a year, the people said, a great-aunt who had purchased the house in 2020 with Ms.

This week, with the filing of court papers some 200 miles north, the plan came to an abrupt end.

Hey MAGA, here’s a list of Trump’s shutdown achievements:

-Sending $20 billion of your tax dollars to Argentina

-Letting Qatar build an air base in Idaho

-Golfing trip while the troops aren’t getting paid

Is that America First? Or are you ready to admit he’s a f***ing liar?

A little more about why I can’t
just “go out for a walk” by myself.
Some people have suggested I go
outside more even just for a short
walk on my own. I know they
mean well, but I need to explain
