Last week Joe Biden bought some ice cream. Fox News dedicated a full segment to his journey into an ice cream parlor. Jesse Watters mentioned it on his primetime show. Someone should ask them how much Trump's golf habit is costing taxpayers.

I understand the argument here, but I'm not sure how it could possibly be accurate. How else would the PCA be enforced? Congress obviously didn't intend for the administration accused of violating the law to bring criminal charges against itself.

The one colorable argument under that doctrine for unsealing in this case, in fact, is that doing so would expose as disingenuous the Governmentโs public explanations for moving to unseal. A member of the public, appreciating that the Maxwell grand jury materials do not contribute anything to public knowledge, might conclude that the Governmentโs motion for their unsealing was aimed not at โtransparencyโ but at diversionโaimed not at full disclosure but at the illusion of such. And there is precedentโIn re Biaggi, the fountainhead of the Second Circuitโs โspecial circumstancesโ doctrineโpermitting a court to order the release of grand jury testimony to correct a movantโs misleading public characterization of it.
My friend @KatiePhang and I are going to dive into the blistering ruling rejecting the Trump DOJ's gambit to unseal Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury records.
A "diversion" โ not "transparency," but the "illusion of such," a judge says.

1993 clinton deficit reduction bill. 2.1% increase in resources for the bottom 20%. -7.2% for the top 1%. -2.3% for the top 20%. nearly no change for middle 60%. goated.
big beautiful bill. not so beautiful in reality, tho. bottom 20% worse off. not huge change for people up to 6th decile. still 1.5% or under though all the way through the 9th decile. it's really on the top 10% who are the winners.
on the left, clinton's 1993 deficit reduction bill. goated, peak performance. absolutely enormous tax increases on the rich while helping the poor
on the right, trump's "big beautiful bill." terrible, poor get poorer while rich get richer, significantly worsens fiscal outlook. garbage-tier bill
