Russia rolls out a surrender deal for Ukraine => Trump insists Ukraine must sign => An enormous joint diplomatic effort by Europe + Ukraine + some Americans is needed to transform the deal into something acceptable => Russia refuses to sign.

Rinse and repeat.

Well, imagine that.

Not only do a substantial percentage of the leading MAGA influencers on Twitter turn out to be foreigners, but there seems to be a lively trade overseas in teaching people how to set up your own MAGA influencer account for fun and profit.

I love that these garbage scammers figured out that right wing Americans are some of the dumbest people on the planet, on account of how angry and stupid they are.

I am so interested to see how the MAGA idiots justify their heroes being mostly foreign agents.

President Trump is considering removing Kash Patel as FBI director in the coming months, as he and his top aides have grown increasingly frustrated by the unflattering headlines Patel has recently generated.

This, no irony or sarcasm intended, seems pretty big. A lot of us often refer to cognitive dissonance as a tool to explain how, for instance, MAGA continues to hold on to their worldview even in the face of events directly refuting their cultic faith in That Man.

This is likely to be insufficient to satisfy Russia, which, as the FT headline indicates, might end up rejecting the deal arrived at between American & Ukrainian negotiators because it's not a carbon copy of their original demands.

The FT, citing senior officials, reports that Ukraine has agreed to limit its Armed Forces to 800,000 troops. Unresolved issues remain: territory and security guarantees.

As the chart shows, credit application rejection is at its highest level in 11 years - it was actually much lower during the pandemic.

Apparently the U.S. and Ukraine have reached agreement on a peace deal...but if Ukraine managed to get the most outrageous parts of the original "offer" deleted, Russia, being stupidly maximalist and unwilling to compromise, will reject it so we'll be right back where we started from.

Blythe Danner and Robert Duvall in "The Great Santini". The book on which the movie is based is set in a fictionalized version of my hometown, Beaufort, SC, and the movie was filmed in Beaufort.

Currie's ruling also seems to rule out a reindictment of Comey by concluding that if the indictment was invalid at the time it was issued, prosecutors can't invoke a federal law that give extension of 6 months-plus in some situations.

lol the judge who disqualified lindsay halligan as us atty for edva included this footnote, citing a guy who agrees with him (or used to!?!?)
"... From 1986 to 2006, section 546 was identical to its current form. [n14] ... [n14] Three days after Congress enacted the 1986 law, an Office of Legal Counsel (“OLC”) memorandum ***authored by then-Deputy Assistant Attorney General Samuel Alito*** concluded the statute does not allow “the Attorney General [to] make another appointment pursuant to [subsection (a)] after the expiration of the 120-day period.” Memorandum from Samuel A. Alito, Jr., Deputy Assistant Att’y Gen., Off. of Legal Couns., to William P. Tyson, Dir., Exec. Off. for U.S. Att’ys 3 (Nov. 13, 1986), available at https://perma.cc/SD5Q-7CPH. “The statutory plan,” Alito reasoned, “discloses a Congressional purpose that after the expiration of the 120-day period further interim appointments are to be made by the court rather than by the Attorney General.” Id. ..."

This might not be quite over yet. The judge dismissed the indictments WITHOUT prejudice, meaning - that at least in theory - DOJ can try again if they do it with a legally appointed prosecutor.

BREAKING: Judge rules Lindsey Halligan's appointment was not valid, thus, she had no authority to present the James Comey or Letitia James indictments and the indictments are dismissed without prejudice.
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA ALEXANDRIA DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, V. JAMES B. COMEY, JR., Defendant. Criminal No. 1:25-cr-00272-MSN OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS INDICTMENT ECF NO. 60) On September 25, 2025, Lindsey Halligan, a former White House aide with no prior prosecutorial experience, appeared before a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia. Having been appointed Interim U.S. Attorney by the Attorney General just days before, Ms. Halligan secured a two-count indictment charging former FBI Director James B. Comey, Jr. with making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. Mr. Comey now moves to dismiss the indictment on the ground that Ms. Halligan, the sole prosecutor who presented the case to the grand jury, was unlawfully appointed in violation of 28 U.S.C. § 546 and the Constitution's Appointments Clause. As explained below, I agree with Mr. Comey that the Attorney General's attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid. And because Ms. Halligan had no lawful authority to present the indictment, I will grant Mr. Comey's motion and dismiss the indictment without prejudice. IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA NORFOLK DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, V. LETITIA A. JAMES, Criminal No. 2:25-cr-00122-JK W Defendant. OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS INDICTMENT (ECE NO. 22) On October 9, 2025, Lindsey Halligan, a former White House aide with no prior prosecutorial experience, appeared before a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia. Having been appointed Interim U.S. Attorney by the Attorney General just two weeks before, Ms. Halligan secured a two-count indictment charging New York Attorney General Letitia James with bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution. Ms. James now moves to dismiss the indictment on the ground that Ms. Halligan, the sole prosecutor who presented the case to the grand jury, was unlawfully appointed in violation of 28 U.S.C. § 546 and the Constitution's Appointments Clause. As explained below, I agree with Ms. James that the Attorney General's attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid.
