Literal Truth and Theoretical Conflicts A South Carolina judge considers whether Lindsey Halligan is really a U.S. Attorney; Paul Ingrassia sues Politico; the D.C. bar challenges the BigLaw Trump settlements (sort of).

I assumed that second quote was satire, or at least a paraphrase. It’s not. The thug trash said that.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americansβ€”Americans, not illegalβ€”Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, β€œWe don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Drake's Not Like Us (Familiar With Defamation Law) Drake loses his lawsuit, but nobody can take his dignity (because he doesn't have any); Letitia James is indicted; schools may prohibit 'Let's Go Brandon' swag.

Here is this week’s Serious Trouble, recorded as the fates require before Bolton got indicted.

EXCLUSIVE🚨: Understand Championship strugglers Southampton are quietly humiliated that they are the only team to have conceded a goal to Liverpool flop Alexander Isak

A mix up in the defence allowed Isak to roll the ball into the net from 3 yards.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Grand Jury Shopping Lindsey Halligan's sloppy grand jury performance could matter; Jeanine Pirro did an end-run around a recalcitrant grand jury; SmartMatic wins partial summary judgment against Mike Lindell

This week’s Serious Trouble has Comey and Homan follow-ups, grand jury dishonesty by DoJ, and justifiably angry judges.

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil.

The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it
