Yesterday's Ali Act Congressional hearing had a lot to be concerned about but it did have a high note & plenty of robber-baron-style comedic moments (Lawrence Epstein is unintentionally funny). @heynottheface.bsky.social goes over everything in detail & gives letter grades for all. 1/2

Plaintiffs in Johnson (as well as Davis & Cirkunovs) v Zuffa want the Judge to know the Defendants are missing documents. For example, Dana White & Tracy Long have apparently lost years of text messages and emails even though they should have been preserving all docs since 2014.
