there is a good case to make that this was NOT jury nullification.
I am not sure it met the mens rea standard on the throwing of the sub--also--very old legal maxim--de minimis non curat lex--the law does not concern itself with trifles.
case should never have been brought

Even for Some Mamdani Supporters, His Thin RΓ©sumΓ© Is Cause for Concern

I genuinely wonder if anyone on the NYT editorial team looks at the Mamdani coverage in total and thinks "yeah, we got this one right"
The story on the eve of the election is basically reporters asking the public "is Mamdani experienced enough?"

No actual news.

The demolished East Wing is a monument to this regime's destruction of our system of checks and balances, and the process of democratic governance.

It is a monument of rubble.

It's standard operating procedure for TV hosts to thank right-wing guests after they come on their shows and lie. Just once I'd like to see a host turn to the camera and apologize to the audience for letting a right-wing guest lie to them.

This is a take-one-for-the-team moment.

Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it.

He’s asking to testify publicly, so you know he’s got receipts.

Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it."

Go Jack!

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow β€” the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge β€” she does not walk in alone.

New York has her back.

Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

The campaign against β€œantifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as β€œterrorists.”

I remember like 10 years ago when fascism was seen by most people for what it is: criminal behavior, and not β€œpolitical opinions”.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hoursβ€”and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

If you noticed that I said "used it as a rental property" rather than "signed a timeshare contract or other agreement REQUIRING the house to be used as a rental, as described in the rider" congratulations, you're more observant than the grand jury that voted to indict.

As far as I can tell, the case with Letitia James is one where she told them a specific thing and the mortgage lender checked a different box and it didn't get caught.

This is the kind of shit that could happen to literally anyone, and I have two thoughts.
