Okay well that sounds like a Supreme Court Justice colluding with the defense team of a former president* under multiple federal & state indictment so as to provide a path for manipulating legal proceedings which might fall under said justice's review. Seems REAL BAD. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/09...

Mr. Lauro sought to defend his plans to challenge Mr. Smithā€™s appointment by arguing that Justice Clarence Thomas had questioned how Mr. Smith had gotten his job in a concurrence to the Supreme Courtā€™s immunity ruling.

At one point, Mr. Lauro said that Justice Thomas had ā€œdirectedā€ Mr. Trumpā€™s legal team to pursue the motion. But he quickly amended himself, saying only that the justice had raised the issue in his concurrence.

Still, Judge Chutkan interrupted him before he made his correction, asking archly, ā€œHe directed you to do that?ā€

And sitting silently in the courtroom watching the proceedings, Mr. Smith seemed to share the judgeā€™s reaction, nodding emphatically.

Please be aware that a horde of bigots and scammers are testing boundaries on Bluesky right now. Some are really blatant, but I suspect others are more subtle ops. Pay attention, trust your gut, report and block. Be safe out there!

Iā€™d be less inclined to think of The NY Times as a rightwing newspaper if they didnā€™t have the head of Project 2025 on their ā€œClimate Forwardā€ speakers list!

OPINION: "We urge the international and medical community to demand an immediate and permanent cease-fire, and to allow access to the humanitarian aid so desperately needed in Gaza," write three doctors who recently returned from volunteering in an emergency medical team in Gaza.

Loren Merchanā€™s firm: ā€œThe accusations against us are absurd and completely false. However, this has not stopped MAGA world conspiracy theorists from harassing our employees and sending death threats to some of our families.ā€

Tweet from Mike Nellis:
I have never spoken publicly about this before, but over the last year and a half, our agency (@Authentic_HQ) has been targeted by a baseless right-wing conspiracy theory that suggests our company is somehow involved in the Donald Trump fraud trial in New York.
The accusations against us are absurd and completely false. However, this has not stopped MAGA world conspiracy theorists from harassing our employees and sending death threats to some of our families.
I'm speaking up today because on August 1st, Jim Jordan and the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee opened a partisan investigation into Authentic, which they immediately leaked to Twitter and Fox News to publicize within minutes of us receiving the letter. They are pursuing a baseless, MAGA-led conspiracy theory to call into question the fact that Donald Trump was found guilty in his NY fraud trial by a jury of his peers.
Over the last year, we have tried to trust and respect the process. However, since the committee has chosen to recklessly spread misinformation and endanger lives, we felt compelled to publicly share our response to their recent request for Authentic's documents and communications.
The letter below is our formal response to the House Judiciary committee. I encourage you all to read it carefully. We've provided the committee with important context that debunks these conspiracy theories and demonstrates that there is nothing on which to base this inquiry.
If the committee is genuinely interested in uncovering the truth, we encourage them to consider the facts, not the cherry-picked, manipulated, misrepresented information they have been parroting. They should focus their time on the real issues facing our nation.
Our priority going forward is to protect our staff, ensure our client work continues uninterrupted, and stand firm in the face of these baseless accusations.

As you read all about his jobs-for-the-boys featherbedding at U of Florida, youā€™ll recall Sasse is another one of those self-inflating Senate types who like nothing better than writing books lecturing people about virtue and honor and How To Be An Adult and Rising Above Mere Partisanship etc etc
