1/Because Judge Currie says the govt can’t keep appointing acting US Attys after an initial 120 day appt, it’s now up to the local district judges to name an acting us atty. They’re likely to name someone who will stand for the rule of law & not reindict bad cases. But…
And now, the case against Letitia James is dismissed too, same rationale but minus the statute of limitations complication.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives.

Today, in response, we brought our own graphs.
