The facts are complicated, but here’s a summary of what appears to have happened based on the filings and today’s hearing:
NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.
Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Melissa Tran came here on a Green Card at age 11.
She's since raised 4 kids, started a business, & is a beloved member of the Hagerstown community.
Trump is deporting her, despite a judge saying she poses no threat.
Is she the "worst of the worst"? Do you feel safer yet?

if you're a single-issue "affordability" voter, this should be concerning
Trump on Jerome Powell: "I'd love to fire his ass. He should be fired. The only thing Scott [Bessent] is blowing it on is the Fed. The rates are too high, Scott. And if you don't get it fixed fast, I'm going to fire your ass."

Under Trump, the only normative rule is to gain as much power and money as possible.

17 out of 26 corporations funding Trump's ballroom project are clients of Brian Ballard, Jeff Miller, or Reince Priebus’s lobbying firms.
Those same firms helped raise $300 MILLION for the project.
The door is wide open for these lobbyists to seek favors from the Trump admin.

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

This was Piggy and Little Johnson’s plan. They were thwarted by the Senate’s end around. Kudos to whoever thought to do that.
Next step? Delay tactics. Mike Johnson will tinker with Senate language (poison pills and inconsistent language), bouncing it back and forth between the House and Senate in an endless cycle. Smile, pray, stall. And if that doesn't work?
