67/ I wanna throw up.

Klasfeld:

As Trump leaves, a spectator tells Trump: "God is with you. Stay strong."

The man is escorted out — no outbursts, any outbursts, whatever the content, are allowed in court.

28/ Pagliery's take:

Interesting turn. Prosecutors are using her—under oath—to describe how the GOP responded to the Access Hollywood leak.

Again, this is brand new ground.

"...there were conversations about how to... how it would be possible to replace him as the candidate if it came to that."

Meeting the press in Washington today, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced, Germany would buy 3 more Himars systems from the US, and transfer these systems to Ukraine.

#Necheles, Trump's lawyer, gets another chance at cross & is once again drilling down on #StormyDaniels for responding to #Trump's attacks.

Not only does Necheles's client often claim he has to defend himself against others on social media, but he often does preemptive strikes that are disproportionate & seem to come out of nowhere.

A lawyer, for Trump, who loves assailing people on social media, is going after Daniels for fighting back against randos attacking her.

When Jewish students put forward the motion “Jewish students have a right to belong to the ANU community," they were met with other students doing Nazi salutes and mimicking Hitler mustaches at an ANU student union meeting.

This motion, along with all others made by the Jewish students, was struck down.

Australian National University (ANU) has said they are launching an investigation but, even though performing a Nazi salute in a public place is illegal under Australian law, I honestly have little hope at this point that anything will be done.

A NUCLEAR HOSTAGE!

Never before has an active nuclear power plant of this scale been seized and held hostage in a war. Russia’s actions at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant have shattered long-held norms surrounding nuclear safety. With this dangerous precedent set, Ukraine’s Peace Formula seeks to re-establish a global framework for nuclear security.

Best “elect me because” flex?

For Teacher Appreciation Week, I want to call to your attention the Educator Assistance Act, a bill designed to soften the stranglehold of contracts that teachers are forced to sign when they gain employment in our public schools.

In very few industries are these types of employment contracts so one-sided. This bill gives teachers more flexibility to get out of these contracts without fear of losing their certification to teach.

It passed the SC House unanimously a year ago but is stuck in the SC Senate, not even having gotten out of committee. The last day of session is THIS THURSDAY. They need to act now before it's too late. It's the least our state can do for our wonderful educators.

Update: Fatah supporters are saying the people executed took food from aid centers that was meant to be free, but Hamas steals and sells to the people at exorbitant prices. They say Hamas claimed they were Fatah spies to justify their brutality.

#NealKatyal says while #JackSmith *could* appeal #AileenCannon’s decision, it’s unlikely that he will. The writ of mandamus standard is too high a bar for removal & #DOJ is loathe to cast aspersions on any judge.

He’s more optimistic about the possibility of #Trump’s #Jan6 case getting scheduled now that the #ClassifiedDocuments case is indefinitely delayed.

@scattapilla okay I'll spell this out because maybe it's not obvious to some folks: when people say "zionist" a lot of other people hear "Jew" and that's a problem in a world where a lot of anti-Semitic fascists are in or aspiring to power.

So to Jews - especially Jews who are not zionists - that makes a huge difference in terms of how safe we feel.

Remember that Nazis have been using "zionists" as a dog-whistle for Jews since basically forever.
