/3 Hence, neither “Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good” nor “Ashli Babbitt was murdered” is defamatory, because those are based on your interpretation of disclosed facts — like videotaped events. You’re giving your interpretation — your OPINION — of the disclosed fact.

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good.
In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric.
It’s not.

In case you were wondering what side Jay and the BlueSky team are on, they are manually blocking anything about the extrajudicial ICE killings from trending and banning accounts for posting factual information.
In case that's not clear: that would make them Nazis.

My complaint about people calling the press conference a Ceaușescu moment is that it gets my hopes up and then dashes them, like when you fake-throw a tennis ball for a golden retriever.
If you think Noem's press conference was a "Ceaucescu moment," then shame on you for not understanding what that regime was like and for using it so glibly
Tom come on now. Did you you see the same footage and subsequent Noem press conference that I saw? Jesus, if that wasn’t a “how many fingers am I holding up Winston” moment then I don’t know what is. Look I don’t want to pound that fascist drum either but FFS that was bordering a Ceaușescu moment.

Admitting to elements of the crime (knowingly submitting false documents to a bank in support of a mortgage application) or destroying a statute-of-limitations defense (by admitting to being out of the country during the relevant period) is suboptimal for a successful defense.
![Further, Goldstein’s statements are also potentially relevant to the statute of limitations for certain tax counts. He admitted in the article to being “out of the country for almost a full year” from 2016 to 2018. Id. at 10. To the extent that the government is forced to prove out-of-country tolling at trial under 26 U.S.C. § 6531, Goldstein’s admission is clearly on point.
Finally, some portions of the Times article that the government offers into evidence are Goldstein’s statements relevant to the mortgage fraud counts. The article confirms that “Goldstein understated his debts” on mortgage applications in 2021 by “multiple millions of dollars.” Id. at15. “Goldstein told [the reporter] that he omitted that information because he wanted to keep that debt secret from [his wife], as he had kept her in the dark about most of his poker activity.” Id.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oaghntcihvzqkirfcn4faarb/bafkreid7xr5tyegqmwiczezr7uuu47uavznkjobuuf3ni5jiytpmiccbd4@jpeg)
