BOOM.
1) @washingtonpost.com reported Thursday on a controversial policy downgrading how nooses and swastikas are labeled in the Coast Guard.

2) Admin officials attacked The Post, falsely alleging the reporting of "fake crap."

3) The CG said it would review policy language.

4) The CG reversed course.

This is an interesting piece from the NRO's Andrew McCarthy, who believes the Comey indictment should be thrown out, but not b/c of the Halligan missteps....

This should hang in the Louvre.
I grow frustrated with local news-- by focusing so much on stories of violence, they inadvertently promote the idea that the world is more violent than it is (leading voters to candidates who promise security at all costs).

But holding up a mic to a cow is incredible

I'd like to ask a serious question. Can a lawyer explain how this situation might NOT end in a toppling of the case. I get there's plenty of nuance in the law, but this clearly seems like a Titanic/Iceberg event, no? What the hell could they possibly say that would remedy this problem?
🚨BREAKING: Federal prosecutors admitted Wednesday that the grand jury handling the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey never reviewed or voted on the final indictment used to charge him — a virtually unprecedented revelation that could topple the entire case.

Q: "On the Epstein Files, does the new investigation by the SDNY U.S. Attorney prevent the DOJ from releasing all of the remaining files?"

Jim Jordan begged someone to not rat out the sexual assault that was happening at Ohio State. He was crying on the phone. Groveling. This man threw out all his dignity to try and cover for horrifying crimes of sexual abuse. Think about that for a moment.

🚨🚨 ICE ALERT 🚨🚨

ICE agents have been reported in the Boone (NC) and adjacent areas. They are targeting Christmas tree farms, conducting Kavanaugh stops, and are waiting outside certain stores.

Warn anyone who needs to be. Remember ICE can’t come on your private property w/o judicial warrants.

As I told the Columbia Journalism Review, this swatting incident occurred just before I published an investigative report that unmasked the operators of four major neo-Nazi accounts on X. I don't think the timing was coincidental.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

INVESTIGATION: Private equity giants are buying up youth sports facilities & banning parents from taking photos/videos of their own kids, instead forcing them to pay for photos.

When parents ignore the bans, the companies punish the kids.

What stage of capitalism is this?

From my soon-to-be law school graduate and asst DA:

"It’s moments like this that make me feel more confident I’ll pass the bar exam."
Halligan suggested to the grand jury that Comey might have to testify to explain his innocence.

Unbelievable. Even a lawyer with zero prosecutorial experience like Halligan should know about little things like the 5th Amendment.

This case likely gets tossed out.
