How to annoy a Federal Judge: Withhold a key portion of the grand jury transcript after he requests the full transcript.

New: Judge in Jim Comey proceeding says part of grand jury proceeding is still missing. There is a gap from about 4:38pm to when the grand jury handed down the indictment later that evening. Judge again demands full transcript.

He didn't want to spend all afternoon with them (like he reportedly did with one of Epstein's victims at Epstein's house.)

Wasn’t expecting the Epstein scandal to blow up the New York Times but sure, why not
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

From steady climb to sudden slide.

On a personal note, I've made a breakthrough in how to fix the most messed-up part of my current novel in revision, and might actually be on track to fully revise it this month to have it in shape to send out. 😀

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Fun fact: Many of them are currently in _state_ criminal prosecutions, and the President can only pardon federal (not state) crimes.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
