NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.

Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

This is a fantastic bit of lawyering by a prosecutor who just effectively told the judge that a declination memo exists without technically violating his direct instructions
MORE: Under questioning by the judge, prosecutor Tyler Lemons said that he’s under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether there is a declination memo recommending against the prosecution of Comey

If ICE agents can’t operate without masks and no IDs, maybe the problem isn’t California, it’s whatever you’re trying to hide.

📌 The Trump administration is suing California over its new laws banning ICE from hiding behind masks and forcing them to show IDs while they run operations in the state.

@lataco.bsky.social reported on him as an ICE agent from the start, which is why they're the best outlet to follow for what's really happening in SoCal!
News agencies reported the incident over the weekend, but Rodriguez was initially described as "a man," not an ICE AGENT.

So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

Excellent question for the people supporting ICE who are responsible for the huge drop in attendance. We saw it here in LA last year (ICE planned raids during GRADUATION in LA last year. Yes. Graduation.) and attendance directly affects school funding! Hey you OPEN THE SCHOOLS warriors! Where you at
wonder if the many people extremely worried about disruptions to schools caused by covid precautions will comment on this

Where are the learning loss people? It’s hard to learn at school if you’re afraid to go because the secret police might kidnap you.
Charlotte-Mecklebburg Schools, according to reports, saw 15% of its students absent today amid Border Patrol operations in Charlotte. If that percentage of 15% happens Tuesday in Wake County due to the Border Patrol coming to Raleigh, 24.000 students could be absent from school. #nced #ncpol #wcpss

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.
