I’m sure it must be nearly impossible to know, but please report if you ever learn the name or religious affiliation of the man hailed as a hero. Thanks Paper of Record.

But the judge also ordered the release of exculpatory material provided to Maxwell during discovery. Who knows, but it’s possible we could learn something new, as well.
These grand jury materials will “not add to the public knowledge.” A judge says Trump misled the public and disregarded the victims.”
A federal judge ORDERS the disclosure of Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury materials.
But Judge Engelmayer swipes repeatedly at Trump's DOJ for paying "lip service" to then sidelining victims — and misleading the public about what the records contain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hey Megyn, since when is 15 barely legal?
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

The ethical issues implicated by certain large law firms caving to Trump are extremely important but not especially complicated. The firms that capitulated to Trump dug very deep conflict of interest holes for themselves.
It is hard to feel any sympathy for the Big Law firms who settled. They are caught between Scylla and Charybdis—but it is a dilemma of their own making. www.thebulwark.com/p/big-law-bi...
Big Law’s Big Choice
A D.C. Bar opinion shows why it would be ethical for the nine Big Law firms to rescind their settlement agreements with Trump. But to do so would invite his wrath.

NEW: A federal judge said the decision by Trump WH to end sign language interpretation at briefings by Trump and Leavitt likely violated the Rehabilitation Act and harmed deaf people who communicate in ASL.

In the South our grocery stores always require proof of citizenship. Isn’t that true everywhere?
Trump: "All we want is voter ID. You go to a grocery store, you have to give ID. You go to a gas station, you give ID. But for voting they want no voter ID. It's only for one reason: because they cheat."

I – like Trump and RFK Jr. – do not have a medical degree.
So, when questions surrounding medical treatments emerge, I listen to people who do.
I get my information from doctors and public health experts – and urge you to do the same.

For many years, I was a Conservative. But now I’m a Lib. Why? Not because my political beliefs changed, but because the MSM and many pundits allowed right-wing fanatics to hijack the word “conservative.” This semantic inversion isn’t simply annoying. It’s a lie, which has had dangerous consequences.

Every year SCOTUS considers hearing no more than 2% of discretionary appeals (petitions for writ of certiorari), and it actually hears less than 1% of those appeals. So why would SCOTUS want to consider hearing Ghislaine Maxwell’s case?🤔
