It kinda feels like at this point it's really more a question of "on which grounds" does the case first get dismissed.
At a hearing last Thursday in the Eastern District of Virginia, where both James Comey and Letitia James were indicted, a judge appeared skeptical that Lindsey Halligan had been properly appointed as U.S. attorney, reports @rparloff.bsky.social.
Dispatch from the Nov. 13 Hearing on Lindsey Halligan’s Appointment
In a joint hearing in the Comey and James cases, Judge Currie appeared skeptical that Halligan had been properly appointed U.S. Attorney or that any error was harmless.

Is it bad if a sitting federal judge was (allegedly) part of a conspiracy to commit murder? It seems bad ....
OMFG-ex DOJ official (& now federal judge) Emil Bove was involved in the administration's plots to murder individuals via lethal strikes
"At a DOJ conference ... Bove told drug prosecutors the ... administration wasn't interested in interdicting ... Instead... the U.S. should "just sink the boats."

An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

I think this is *generally* correct, but I do think there's a serious non-flippant case to be made for the other side.
I think it's two-fold: first, I think if the GOP had caved on the filibuster it would've been a narrow cave (no filibuster for clean CR)

people are being very flip about the possible harms of getting rid of the filibuster *right now* in a way that imo undermines the core case that the Republic is in special peril. it's clearly all downside until 2027 even if you grant electoral backlash! Dems can't have a trifecta until 2029!

Do you hear the people sing?
something I've been thinking about if/when we retake power is we're really going to need to shock & awe the elites with accountability. hit em hard and fast. gotta break the entire system and don't give it time to regroup.
Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

@pfrazee.com, we really need @bsky.app to let us know why Sarah Kendzior's account was suspended and if there was a good reason—or any reason at all.

Every “yes” vote from a Senator who is resigning should resign mid-session if there’s a blue governor to appoint their replacement.

In March, after Schumer last surrendered, we called an emergency meeting of Indivisible leaders. 92% told us to call on him to step down from leadership (which we did).
In a poll over this weekend, 98.67% said we should keep up the fight.
Rank & file Dems are going to be PISSED!

Either way, so many Dems... the bulk of the Senate caucus, House leadership, governors, etc.,... all quickly throwing down the gauntlet with such open unrestrained attacks on any Dems who cave is new. It wasn't like that in March, not nearly as loud and widespread and immediate, much more base-only.
