NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:
Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.
Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

To take some of the cringe or wobble out of this class, or caste, society, I recommend creating a post-Epstein version.

BREAKING: Judge Jia Cobb issues a TRO blocking DHS Sec Noem's Jan 8 memo purporting to require 7-day notices by members of Congress to perform oversight visits to immigration detention facilities.
The effect is that congressional oversight visits are allowed on request, as is required by Sec. 527.

There are ample professional disincentives to spilling the inner workings of a court; even misconduct is rarely disclosed.
Only reason to demand NDAs is if the Justices are engaging in conduct so egregious that the legal profession would recognize the need for court employees to disclose it.

People do not understand why government surveillance is so bad and privacy is so important
The problem isn't that you did nothing illegal, they can use the legal things you do, but don't want everyone to know against you
They can leverage the things that you think are private, but they learn

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Algorithmic paranoia is contagious? Uh-oh
Someone spun up a social network for AI agents.
Almost immediately some began strategizing how to establish covert communications channels to hide from humans.
In many cases the agents are on machines that have access to personal data.

IMO the president should not be allowed to sic his own lawyers against government lawyers who at this point are also just his lawyers in order to steal the annual GDP of a small country from American taxpayers.

I assume this is to build patriotic sentiment/quell domestic unrest. But it may risk incidents with Trump flotilla.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
