This is an incredible image of comet 3I/ATLAS, taken by Satoru Murata ICQ Comet Observations group on 16 November 2025 from western New Mexico.

Structure within the major dust tail from the comet is clearly visible, together with two smaller jets trailing the nucleus and maybe even an anti-tail.

Here's an early indication that the Trump administration really is moving on those Epstein files.

Donald Trump's revenge indictments are gone.

A judge also says Lindsey Halligan isn't really the U.S. attorney of EDVA.

And as if that's not enough, the judge says *local judges* will choose her replacement.

A stunning rebuke of Trump's vengeance tour.

The judge ruled that Halligan has no prosecutorial authority; therefore, the grand jury presentations were never valid.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers are accusing the Trump administration of vindictive prosecution for repeatedly trying to send him to foreign lands he doesn't even know as a blatant form of punishment.

Costa Rica would accept him by the way, but the feds just won't do it.

NEW: Trump has offered his personal support to MAGA influencer Nick Sortor and invited him to the White House as a star journalist. While Sortor was at an event with Trump, Bondi, Patel and Noem, a warrant for his arrest was active in Kentucky.

I do this every time.
real ones know there is only one correct way to travel from NYC to DC (Amtrak northeast regional cafe car)
Q: Why did you fly here? Aren't trains greener?

MAMDANI: I will use every form of transit and I want to make sure they are all affordable in NYC

TRUMP: That's a lot quicker too, in all fairness. I'll stick up for you.

The judge concluded that "at some point, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to believe almost anything that [DHS] represent[s]."

When federal agents blatantly lie — and we catch them — they lose all credibility.
THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

Look, lawyers draft these declarations all the time but the person signing it is supposed to be able to competently understand it and actually have the relevant knowledge asserted in the document.

Anything less is fraud.

Any Fugees fans out there?

Pras Michel just got sentenced to 14 years in prison for

(1) taking millions of that stolen Malaysian 1MDB money and (2) bundling political donations to Obama and (3) funneling cash for a Chinese op trying to influence the first Trump admin.

He was stoic in court.

I'm in DC. A judge is sentencing Fugees rapper Pras Michel over China's scheme to politically influence the first Trump admin (and much more.)

This courtroom is a relic of another time: a case involving FARA (no longer a govt priority), Elliott Broidy (whom Trump pardoned) & everyone in COVID masks

You know the feds were itching to say his career did a frontside 180 after he became an indy trafficker for a drug that addicts nose press before he fled with an ollie into Mexico.

Resurfacing to point out that, as of right now, the nation's attorney general has 30 days to release the Epstein files.

Dec. 19 is the last possible day.

Let's hope we actually see what's in them, and they don't get butchered by the redaction squad.
Once Congress passes the Epstein bill — and Trump signs it, if he does — we'll get these records within a month.

I'm thinking... mid December release?
