Tierra Walker knew that abortion was illegal in Texas, but she thought that hospitals could make an exception for patients like her, whose health was clearly on the line.

Women With High-Risk Pregnancies Have Limited Options Under Abortion Bans

Insurance lawyer & Trump law-lackey, Lindsey Halligan, is ducking & running, but not before two different federal judges gave her the boot.
I’ve got the scathing order from one judge basically telling her she’s too dumb to discipline & calling out her flagrant misconduct.

A billionaire known as “Bitcoin Jesus” was under indictment for massive criminal tax fraud and very likely going to prison.
Then, he hired a “Friend of Trump” and the criminal charges disappeared.
How did they do it? Avi Asher-Schapiro and I spent months getting the inside story.

It's time to start disbarring DOJ lawyers
The notion of charging a black journalist under the KKK Act because he covered a pro-immigrant protest at a white Christian nationalist church is just so cartoonishly goddamned sinister. It also won't go anywhere.
But they're absolutely relishing it.
