I used to say this trial was a waste of taxpayer dollars, but I think it’s totally worth it.
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

I find it interesting the DoJ didn’t hand over a complete grand jury transcript given Comey is alleging Halligan misled the grand jury.
JUST IN: Judge Currie orders DOJ to submit a more compete transcript of the Comey grand jury proceedings, noting that the transcript she was provided — of the lone witness — does not include Lindsey Halligan's remarks or presentation.

From Bovino's deposition: (1) he calls protestors "violent" if they articulate views hostile to ICE, even if no violence is manifested; (2) he instructs his forces to attack and arrest protestors who express "hyperbolic comments," which is to say, criticism of ICE and Bovino.

Kash Patel is confronting difficult questions about his use of an FBI jet for a personal trip to Pennsylvania, where his country singer girlfriend was performing, and then to Nashville, where she lives.

Soon after the flights were disclosed, the FBI forced out a senior official overseeing aviation.
Facing difficult questions about his use of an FBI jet, Kash Patel pitches weak defense
The FBI director had an opportunity to put the burgeoning controversy to rest. Instead, he pushed a message that didn’t do him any favors.

A thing you're not seeing if you haven't checked Twitter in the last week is all the political betting markets (Polymarket, Kalshi) are actively caping for Cuomo and spreading Zohran conspiracies on there. Usually this would be a cause for some sort of regulatory oversight but that no longer exists.

If the sandwich stayed whole, the defense meets its goal
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.
Breaking from NJ AG Platkin:

"Early this morning, law enforcement responded to threats that were received by email involving certain polling places in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic Counties. Law enforcement … have worked swiftly to secure these polling locations."

For millions of Americans, today will bring the chance to be heard.

If there's an election where you live, then you get to send a message on the policies and leadership you believe in - and begin changing the trajectory of this country.

The woman in this video had just had kidney surgery.
NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

You decide…

worth noting that Mamdani did *not* take the bait

She's scootin' toward the center because trump told her she'd never win a state-wide election.
Marjorie Taylor Greene on The View (!!!): "The worst thing that I just can't get over is we're not working right now. And I put that criticism directly on the Speaker of the House. We should be at work."

No FBI agent or federal prosecutor will now ever dare to investigate a Republican, a MAGA figure, or anyone with any connection to Trump, his family, or his businesses. To even look in the direction of such a possible target would be career suicide.
NEW: At least six FBI employees linked to the Arctic Frost / Jack Smith probe have gotten the ax in recent days, NBC News has learned. The firings continue to trickle in.

Always good to see an immigrant engaging in racism. Thanks for making it obvious.

Would be nice if the guy second in the line of presidential succession read a newspaper or watched the news. Just saying.
RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

I will withhold food from millions of American families and cause many children to go hungry.

Thank you for you attention to this matter.

Over 50 percent of voters in 2004 said they believed Bush had lied about WMDs, and still he won.
This NYT Obit of VP Cheney mentions something that seems impossible in retrospect: That he and GWB were re-elected *after* it was proved there were no WMDs in Iraq.

NEW: Yes, Dick Cheney lied to win public support for the invasion of Iraq--and so many Americans and Iraqis died due to his dishonesty. Here are the receipts.
Dick Cheney and the big lie that should never be forgotten
It led to 4,400 dead US troops and 200,000 or so dead Iraqi civilians.

How far has former NY governor Andrew Cuomo fallen? Cuomo has been endorsed by two of the most loathed people in the world, Trump and Elon Musk — as well as a person many consider to be a full-blown Nazi, Stephen Miller. Zohran Mamdani is going to be New York City's next mayor.

🚨🚨🚨

Trump is openly defying multiple court orders and withholding food from 42 million Americans, mere hours after the USDA sent guidance to the states.

The incompetence is staggering.

His threat is illegal, immoral, and only causing more chaos and anxiety for food banks and hungry Americans.
