Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The reason @barbmcquade.bsky.social never saw a situation like this is because she's competent, well, and honest.
I will confess, I have never seen a situation before where the grand jury never saw the indictment, so the remedy is unknown, but I can’t believe an unseen indictment could be valid.

Pulling a bait and switch on the grand jury and adding a count seems like pretty good evidence of vindictiveness.
If Halligan pulled a grand jury switcheroo, and did not inform the court, this could be her deepest trouble yet.
Justice Dept. acknowledges full grand jury never saw final Comey indictment
The acknowledgement came during a hearing in which a federal judge heard the former FBI director’s arguments that he is the target of a vindictive prosecution.

Turns out Trump wanted more than just the Sudetenland. Who knew!
Turns out that the $16MM payoff ABC made to Trump bought them only a few months' reprieve. Weird how that happens.
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

For all Mary Moriarty's critics this was one of her main campaign promises, that she would prioritize the backlog of untested rape kits. She has been able to convict multiple rapists. Negligence of not only the police department but county attorneys before her like Freeman deserve more attention.
Protecting women
12 year wait for her rape kit to be processed.
“Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the DNA evidence that led to Bulle’s conviction was found among 1,758 untested sexual assault kits that the Minneapolis auditor discovered in 2019.”
