Times have been tough in this Afghani town ever since the woke mob shut down the old poppy seed factory. So when Vladimir Putin promised to pay everyone to create MAGA Twitter accounts, they finally had something to cheer about again. Then Twitter turned on its new public location feature.

The flu shot is free if you have insurance. For the uninsured it’s $60.
Got the flu last year on Thanksgiving and it really sucked. Obviously vaccine is no guarantee you won’t get it, but it’s basically free with no downside and is, imho, a no-brainer.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

NEW data I've received: Just 5% of people detained by ICE since October 1 have had violent criminal convictions, 3/4 had no criminal convictions at all. Most "criminals" had immigration, traffic, and vice offenses. Not the "worst of the worst"...

Is Trump going to attack Venezuela because he is embarrassed by the judge dismissing his charges against Comey and James and thinks it will make him look strong?
Rep. Salazar on Venezuela: "We're about to go in ... we need to go in ... Venezuela for the American oil companies will be a field day"

Appealing the dismissal instead of re-indicting is a way to kick the can down the road and avoid a lot of short-term humiliation over the other flaws in the case.

“Unlawful command influence”
The SECDEF confirming an investigation to the world and labeling an individual under investigation as being part of the “Seditious Six” is unlawful command influence.

Will the govt be able to bring a new indictment against Comey despite the statute of limitations having run?
Ordinarily yes, but Judge Currie argues no in this case, since Halligan's indictment was void from the start. This question will no doubt be litigated!

![Footnote 21 in Judge Currie's opinion:
Generally, "It]he return of an indictment tolls the statute of limitations on the charges contained in the indictment." United States v. Ojedokun, 16 F.4th 1091, 1109 (4th Cir. 2021). "An invalid indictment," however, "cannot serve to block the door of limitations as it swings closed." United States v. Crysopt Corp., 781 F. Supp. 375, 378 (D. Md. 1991) (emphasis in original); see also United States v. Gillespie, 666 F. Supp. 1137, 1141 (N.D. III. 1987) ("[A] valid indictment insulates from statute-of-limitations problems any refiling of the same charges during the pendency of that valid indictment (that is, the superseding of a valid indictment). But if the earlier dictment is void, there is no legitimate peg on which to hang such a judicial limitations-tolling result."
