People give lawyers a lot of shit, most of it deserved. But the thing I always admire about my profession is that we generally tell people who egregiously violate our ethical standards to go fuck themselves.
the extent to which journalists will circle the wagons around even members of the profession who have serially violated every professional ethical standard possible is astounding

Whatever strained and implausible justifications the OLC opinion may purport to provide for the killing spree at sea, the public statements of the administration recently have boiled down to:
Just follow orders.
That appears to be the operative rule the administration wants to establish.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

I'm starting to think that what news consumers think is newsworthy and what reporters think is newsworthy is very different and not in a way that reflects well on reporters.
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

I think this is related to Megyn Kelly's not-technically-a-pedophile remarks.
Reactionary patriarchy only cares about sorting "normal" from "deviant".
It doesn't care about sufficiently *normal* kinds of violence, abuse, coercion, harm, etc.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

everyone keeps dancing around it but JD Vance keeps trotting out the “immigrants are taking our housing“ because it’s a nativist blood libel he’s engineering alongside eg “they eat our pets” but, more specifically, it is to legitimize the dispossession, en masse, of an entire sub-population.

That’s serious misconduct.
HOLY COW. Basically, as folks note in the comments. Halligan allowed the court reporter to believe they were done for the day but then called the Grand Jury back. There is no judge, etc at these. So very likely she reconvened with no court reporter.
I can't see how charges stand if that's true.

Today, the judge deciding the legality of Lindsey Halligan's appointment said the court reporter stopped transcribing grand jury proceedings in the Comey case at 4:28 PM. That's over TWO HOURS that's missing.
