The CR to reopen the gov also contained a provision that opens the door to several Senate Republicans personally receiving $500,000 (possibly more) from the DOJ. (See page 225 of HR 5371, as amended by the Senate).

Halligan may have obtained the indictment the president wanted, but it...one thing to get a grand jury to indict. Getting a conviction is an entirely different matter. New from me for @brennancenter.org A discussion of the flawed Comey indictment. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...
Comey Indictment Shows Danger of Subservient Prosecutors
The political prosecution of a presidential enemy has left the government with a seemingly unwinnable case — and a justice system tainted by politics.

Jimmy Kimmel's defenders called his suspension an attack on the First Amendment; one said it was the most "straightforward attack on free speech from state actors I’ve ever seen." Is it? @profunger.bsky.social explains what the 1st Amendment does/doesn't protect theconversation.com/why-jimmy-ki...
Why Jimmy Kimmel’s First Amendment rights weren’t violated – but ABC’s would be protected if it stood up to the FCC and Trump
Think you know what the First Amendment means and protects? You − and a lot of Jimmy Kimmel’s defenders − may well be wrong.

I’ve passionately disagreed w/ Kirk on almost everything. But I respect his right to say it. As an American value, we must not, we cannot, allow violence to creep into our free speech & civic dialogue. We do not shoot those who we disagree with; rather, we must engage w/ respectful civil discussion.

Is Charlie Kirk openly encouraging bribery?
Charlie Kirk proposes offering Ghislaine Maxwell something in exchange for testimony re Epstein.
"Maxwell is currently sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for sex trafficking, but is pursuing a claim that her trial was unfair ... maybe some kind of a deal could be reached for information."

The Big Beautiful Bill appropriated $100M to “fund accounting efficiencies in the Executive Branch.”

I remember sitting on a rooftop in Manhattan talking to an HBO Max marketer who was stoked about the rebrand to Max—trying to convince me how big of a deal it was.
Welp. I wonder if she still works there.
HBO Max is back.
