Comey and James cases dismissed. Because Lindsey Halligan.
No legitimate prosecutor would manufacture charges against Trump’s political enemies, and one willing to failed.
Authoritarian abuses don’t work without capable personnel. Or much deeper corruption of the courts, which they don’t have.

NEWS: The criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James are gone. A federal judge ruled that the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as the lead prosecutor was illegal.
DOJ could try again, but there are other headwinds.

Bleh. I stand relieved and corrected on the Gmail thing. Even after trying to check biases on that one it read plausible.

Turns out this was all much ado about nothing and Google isn’t using your Gmail to train AI and if wanna turn all that stuff back on you can get your spam filters back
Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy.
I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.

Did you know that Gmail can use your emails and attachments for its smart features? Here's how to check your settings.

Saw an article today describing the age of the average homebuyer as 59. It enraged me. So I thought of this image and determined every article quoting this NAR report was fucking chatgpt, and the average age is ... 40. Still enraging.

Seeing that a collection of retiring and not-up-for-reelection democrats provided the tiebreaking votes is just the shit-icing on the shit-cake.
They selected people who wouldn't take a hit to perform this act of cowardice, so democrats would look better next year.

Schumer would sell his soul to the devil for a box of Cheezits and a promise that Satan will totally think about torturing him less.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

You know, I constantly see people griping about obvious comments in code.
I spend a lot of time writing comments explaining what I _thought_ I was doing, because I keep running into code that does -something-.... but probably not what they intended. I think.
And I can never be _sure_.

If being against a guy with a Nazi tattoo makes me a purist I guess I'm an anti-Nazi purist. If you think that makes me an anti-Nazi single issue voter, you're wrong, but also it's a pretty good single issue.
There is more than a year. Go get another real progressive who doesn't have a Nazi tattoo.
