With a new prosecutor on the case, Judge Scott McAfee is back at it in Trump’s Fulton County case.
This afternoon, he formally dismissed three counts against Trump and several other defendants.
(This was expected, as he previously dismissed the same charges against John Eastman and Shawn Still.)

Basing story assignments with an eye on hate posting web traffic is a long way away from doing impactful journalism that speaks truth to power…
You'll ignore this, but every time you tweet angrily about crap like that Nuzzi piece you're confirming NYT editors' intuitions/incentivizing more of it. The entire intellectual/journo model here is, "Does this person get people angry? Yes? OK they're provocative/get talked about. Write about her."

Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me.

This, from @pbump.com, is a superb description of what pollsters are showing: Trump's support is growing soft, starting w/Epstein.
But the other thing Epstein does--is perfectly designed to do (bc his trolls have ALWAYS been pedo-conspiracy adjacent) is they make it REALLY hard to command attention

Donald Trump’s presidency hinges on loyalty, which depends on the perception of power. As a lame duck, that perception is already eroding — and the Epstein scandal is now accelerating it.
Opinion | The Epstein divisions among Republicans are hastening Trump's lame-duck status
These polls suggest the issue is a bigger problem than the president wants to admit.
