uh-oh. turns out the mortgage document that the DOJ is alleging was fraudulent b/c great niece paid some rent (great niece testified she didn't) refers to "short-term rentals," which seems to blow DOJ theory that it could't be rented out of the water. Another disaster of a case.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

ugh. it might give the impression of the actual reasoning behind the decision ,which by the way typically comes w/in inches of finally resolving it. this is a very weak reason for the shadow docket, given its outsize costs to justice and the litigants.

These people exiting the Washington Post are doing so because they have integrity and a devotion to the truth, two things Jeff Bezos wouldn’t know if they bit him on his shiny noggin. I admire the hell out of all of them.

Four more WaPo departures: Hank Stuever, Ann Hornaday, Craig Timberg, Joel Achenbach. Source says it feels like the Hunger Games: “My inbox has literally dozens of announcements of departures or newsroom wide goodbye notes.”

Email screenshot Sandra Ballentine 5:42 PM From Hank Stuever tl;dr I only ever wanted to work at The Washington Post, and boy, I got to. Two things, before I go: 1. Before you read, listen or click on anything else, please read, listen and click on the work of your colleagues. Deeply, thoughtfully, always. Talk about it. Examine it. Enjoy it. THEN go doomscroll the competition, not the other way around. Originality will always be the answer. 2. If you create something (words, clips, visuals) and you happen to think, you know who would really get a kick out of this? Hank Stuever. Then please send it to him! Email screenshot: Sandra Ballentine 5:47 PM SB Staff News: Ann Hornaday Dim the lights. After 22 years, Ann Hornaday is stepping down as The Post's chief film critic. Ann is a proud native of Des Moines, lowa (home to her beloved Varsity Theatre), who just as proudly began her career at Ms. magazine as an assistant to Gloria Steinem. She went from freelancing for magazines and the New York Times to staff film critic positions at the Austin American-Statesman and the Baltimore Sun before joining The Post in 2002. In 2008, she was a Pulitzer finalist for criticism. Her first book, "Talking Pictures: How to Watch Movies," was published in 2017. More recently, she's delighted Post readers with a steady stream of memorable reviews, from the four-star heights of "Oppenheimer" to the .5-star lows of "Lisa Frankenstein." She's also regularly churned out an array of columns, appreciations, lists and profiles (see: Nate Parker, Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney), among so many other things. Email screenshot: Matt Murray 5:48 PM Craig Timberg Dear All, I'm sad to share the news that Craig Timberg, a Deputy Managing Editor since 2023 and a longtime leader in the newsroom, has decided to take the buyout and move on to a new opportunity. Craig joined the Metro staff in 1998, first covering Virginia politics and government from Richmond and then writing about D.C. politics, the mayor and city council. He was Johannesburg bureau chief from 2004 to 2008, after which he co-authored a book, "Tinderbox: How the West Sparked the AIDS Epidemic and How the World Can Finally Overcome It." He returned to Washington and served stints as education editor and deputy national security editor. From 2012 to 2021 he was a technology reporter, and wrote award-winning stories on privacy, surveillance, cybersecurity and disinformation. His work on the role of social media and @Anon in the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks was part of the package that received the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. Email screenshot: Sandra Ballentine 4:39 PM SB Staff news: Joel Achenbach Joel Achenbach is retiring from The Post after 35 years as a staff writer, columnist, blogger, lede-all anchor and explainer of complicated stuff. Joel arrived in October 1990 as a feature writer in the Style section. He also wrote the weekly column "Why Things Are," answering questions like "Why doesn't a black hole somewhere get so big and powerful that it eventually goes sklurrp! and sucks the entire galaxy, including planet earth, into its dreadful maw?" and "Why is dryer lint gray if my clothes aren't gray?" The column was syndicated by the Washington Post Writers Group to more than 50 newspapers. In 1999, he started the traditional newsroom's first online column, "Rough Draft," for washingtonpost.com, and then became The Post's first blogger with "Achenblog" in 2005. That year he joined the Post Magazine, writing features and a weekly humor column. In 2007, he joined the National Desk and has since worked primarily for the health and science team. He has covered presidential campaigns, NASA space missions, mass shootings, hurricanes, the BP oil spill, America's

Big glass and big sensors still matter. Phone cameras are so much better than they used to be, and yet, a good dSLR or mirrorless camera can take pictures (particularly portraits) that take your breath away.

But how can we expect clear and honest answers from a man who lies as easily as he breathes?

One of the funnier running subplots of the Trump era is that he hasn't won a Nobel Peace Prize, and it really eats at him.
