Lindsey Halligan's humiliation continues apace She's bad at media, and even worse at law.

New in PN: Lindsey Halligan's humiliation continues apace

"After discovering — too late! — that you have to tell reporters beforehand if you want conversations to be off the record, Halligan now finds herself attempting to prosecute 2 high profile cases on the 'rocket docket.' It’s not going well."

Due to Trump’s failed leadership (his pervious quote), the government shutdown has now reached day 21. Federal employees and their families across the country are struggling, many forced to take out personal loans just to pay their bills, and soon turning to food banks to eat.

Every Dem should be posting like this

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

A chaotic morning already. All the news: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Last night, Poland recorded as many as 19 airspace violations by Russian drones coming from Belarus.

Polish and NATO troops were forced to engage Russian targets over NATO territory.

If NATO doesn’t set clear boundaries here, these probing missions by Russia won’t stop.

Careful what you say on a Hinge date! She could be an undercover right-wing media reporter exposing your entire department’s Epstein cover up…

When ur dog thinks bumble bees are delicious…. She’s ok after a vet visit and resting

The only thing we can ‘do’ to stop this is mass, sustained protests. I’m talking protests that are big enough to impact the economy.

Folks who aren’t on political social media don’t think it’s bad enough for that yet, though, and I honestly question whether we have the attention span for it at all.

I don’t think we’ve reached the point of no return yet, but I also don’t think you’re overreacting. We’re in a dangerous moment, and you’re right to be worried, but it’s not the first time we’ve been here. America is resilient. When norms are shattered, resistance builds. We’re seeing that right now

Sean Duffy: "Pete Buttigieg was running for president as opposed to doing his job and making sure that we got our air traffic control system modernized."

(Pete Buttigieg ran for president in 2020. He became transportation secretary in 2021.)

From Twitter: David Oscar Markus & @domarkus X.com Dear @MuellerSheWrote : There is no such thing as work release in federal prison, so your reporting is false. All you had to do was ask any criminal law practitioner, and they would have explained this to you. I wish we had work release in federal prison — and I wish we treated people behind bars better than we do. How about you? I'm surprised to hear my progressive friends criticizing more humane prisons and Ghislaine's transfer to a safer facility, especially after she faced serious danger in Tallahassee. The outrage machine wants to turn a safer placement into a scandal. But it's still prison. And despite the soundbites, prison is a truly awful place.

My response on Twitter: Hello, Mr. Markus. Here is the BOP policy that says Out Custody is eligible for work details outside prison. Will you go on record that she will not be allowed outside despite her waiver? Also, who authorized the waiver, and in exchange for what? The BOP policy reads: ₽5100.08 9/12/2006 Chapter 2, Page 4 OUT CUSTODY. The second lowest custody level assigned to an inmate requiring the second lowest level of security and staff supervision. An inmate who has OUT custody may be assigned to less secure housing and may be eligible for work details outside the institution's secure perimeter with a minimum of two-hour intermittent staff supervision.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney - addressing me directly - says there’s no such thing as prisoner work details outside the facility in the federal prison system. Yes there are. I have receipts.

If only the military (active and retired) would band together behind their oath and stand up against this fascist unconstitutional regime.

Creepy guy who created a website in college designed to help men like him stalk women, 25 years later creates a human-simulacrum-chatbot that creepily grooms children, white supremacists, and conspiracy obsessed MAGA/MAHA cult members. Shocking.
