BREAKING: Judge Reyes has issued a preliminary injunction over the golf course and begins with this: "Rarely, if ever, has the United States Department of Justice urged a federal court not to believe the sitting President." ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...
As FBI Director, he absolutely had the authority to direct those staffers to do that. He was an OCA, he could do that. This case is garbage on procedure and on substance.
Trump’s DOJ has charged James Comey AGAIN, this time under the Espionage Act over a 2016 New York Times story. In DOJ’s own words, Comey had staff talk to a reporter to “correct misinformation” in a Reuters article.
They filed this on the literal LAST day before the statute of limitations expired. Literally, the very last day. Give me a break. This is garbage.
The DOJ has a new criminal case against former FBI director James Comey, this time related to the transfer of national defense information in 2016 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Hold the phone, folks in my replies just alerted me to something I had not even realized. Nicki Manaj appears to only be a green card holder. Not a U.S. citizen. It would incredibly problematic to put a foreign national in that position. Not impossible, per se, because of Article II... but yikes.
Put aside credentials or the insanity of the idea for the moment. She would have to get a security clearance. Relying only on public sources, I see three distinct issues. 1) She admitted in 2023 to past misuse of prescription medication. Not clear how long ago it occurred. That would need

NEW: Nicki Minaj for press sec has a chance of actually happening, but the timeline is unclear. However, the way my sources are talking about it gave me the impression that this is a genuine live ball. straightfromthehut.substack.com/p/nicki-mina...

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.
chat I don’t think doubling down on this ad is working out real well for vivek

Judge Jesse Furman orders Maurene Comey to be reinstated w/back pay. This will obviously be appealed, but it means Ms. Comey will be one of the key appeals. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted
We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.
So … he lied before?
Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...
It’s particularly annoying when you realize that most of the time Elon’s wardrobe looks like something you find in the clearance section at Walmart.
thinking about how i wasted all this money on clothes when i could have invested this money in an index fund and eventually bought a senator like elon musk

You can ask him that stupid question for the next two years and he is going to give you the same stupid answer. After 10 years, the press still doesn’t know how to ask him questions. Maybe take a lesson from what Jonathan Swan did in 2020.

All this time I never knew Clinton in 2000 could have directed DOJ to sue to make sure Florida election officials in Broward county were allowed to question voters on if they were confused by the ballot design when they voted for Buchanan.
See, all this time I never knew Obama in 2016 could have directed DOJ to sue to make sure state election officials could take action AFTER the election to determine if voters were misled by Russian interference operations.
