Can’t blame Bondi. You wouldn’t know it’s improper to send a letter like this during litigation unless you were a lawyer.
The judge just ordered supplemental briefing in light of Pam Bondi's extortionist demands: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

@mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social may need you to weigh in on this important development
This implies the existence of spetchcocking, spotchcocking, and sputchcocking
Was watching J-food drama Wakakozake last night and a subtitle threw up the word ‘spitchcock’.
“Spitchcock?” I thought, “Do they mean spatchcock?”
Indeed, no, ‘spitchcock’ means an eel that has been split & grilled or to cook something in the same manner!

Having spent many, many Xmases in Minnesota, I can confirm for my British followers that this is behaviour roughly equivalent to throwing shit-covered Molotov cocktails when compared to normal Minnesota behaviour.
The rage that has to exist in the average Minnesotan to watch someone stuck on an icy hill and STAND BY AND TAUNT THEM
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

@mewtype.online quick question for you, friend of a friend is looking for an anime appropriate for a 12 year old that "contains lesbians". I figured you've probably got a large mental yuri catalog, any suggestions? 🙃

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social just in case nobody has sent this to you yet, a piece of squid-adjacent bollard art
Street Art - Ireland
A roadside vertical post aka bollard painted as a blue octopus with tentacles extending across the pavement, using the curb and cobbles to suggest movement. I love the use of multiple colors and the eyes & brows are wonderful!! 😁

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.
