Whenever Ken Starr returns to the news, it's fun to remember that one deputy investigating Bill Clinton (and Vice Foster) was ... Brett Kavanaugh!
Extra fun to remember that GWBush FL Recount team in 2000 included Brett K, J Roberts, AC Barrett.
Plus help from FL gov Jeb Bush. Good times!

Ghislaine Maxwell, transferred to a club med prison after Trump's lawyer met with her (and she likely spilled what she knows about Trump), is now being waited on "hand and foot" by guards and is getting her commutation application ready with help from the warden.

Some thoughts: Dems didn’t take election night *because* of the shutdown. That happened for the same reason 7 million people protested last month - because the GOP is wiping their ass with the US constitution. Even JAY JONES won his election after threatening violence against his opponents. 1/

Highly informative: the suit to fund SNAP was filed in an area that falls under Justice Jackson’s “circuit” and thereby gives her the authority to issue the “administrative stay”. If she hadn’t, would’ve gone to full SCOTUS - which would definitely have granted a stay without a deadline attached. /
If you’re trying to catch up on what went down with #SNAP late last night at #SCOTUS, here’s my attempt to read the breadcrumbs on the “administrative stay” issued by Justice Jackson—and why a justice so critical of the Court’s grants of emergency relief to Trump still granted temporary relief here:

Trump’s aid cuts are killing far more Nigerian Christians than Islamic terrorists are. Independent monitors in Nigeria report 33 deaths this year in attacks against Christians (fewer than the 88 Muslims killed). But Trump cut off aid that helped save 270,000 lives a year in Nigeria. 270,000 > 33.
