On #YomHaShoah, we remember and honor the 6 million Jewish lives lost in the Holocaust.

As we honor their memory, we’re reminded that antisemitism persists today. We must stand united against hate in all its forms. Never again means never again.

The Atlantic has some of the best coverage on campus protests. The first link is by Jill Filipovic, criticizing other media for its misrepresentation. She notes that some media whitewashes pro-Hamas demands while conservative media ignores that some students are generally anti-war and not there because they are antisemitic. Some of the counter-protesters, especially the violent ones, have their own opportunist reasons rather than pro-Israel ones.

38/ Pagliery:

Tarasoff is now testifying about who signed these checks. We've seen one signed by Eric Trump. Another was signed by Don Jr. Both were co-signed by Allen Weisselberg.

She's connecting the tiny dots, explaining how these checks got approved and cut.

Klasfeld:

As the records get repetitive, some of the jurors' attention wanes occasionally.

But most still have their eyes locked on their screens — showing the same records prosecutors want them to find Trump falsified.

Frozen embryos in test tubes remain babies in Alabama: on May 3, the Alabama Supremes denied a request to rehear its ruling about this..

Look at the test tube and its contents and you may be baffled at the judgment that it contains a baby, but the Alabama Supremes' ruling is not about science, what you can see or what you think: it's about what a minority of religionists believe and want to force you to believe.

How to build a bullet-proof case

Witness testifies that only Trump signed checks for Trump account

All checks had invoices PHYSICALLY STAPLED to them. So Trump always saw which check for which invoice

AND sometimes Trump VOIDED a payment

So Trump had ability to say no to Michael Cohen payments

74/ Klasfeld:

At one point during his remarks, he said witnesses they’re calling “have nothing to do with the case.”

As he left, your pooler shouted: How is the judge conflicted? Which witnesses were you speaking about?

Reminder:

Trump's attorney Todd Blanche previously said that his client can't simply give no-comments to press inquiries like this, but the former president confirms once again that he can.

Donald Trump is definitely going to jail.

It’s just a question of when, and for how long.

62/ Weissmann:

The falsity of the invoices is made crystal clear by the fact that if it were just a reimbursement is would be paid 1 for 1 and recorded as such (ie Trump wd owe Cohen $130,000), but the reimbursement had to be doubled because it was disguised as income on which Cohen would have to pay taxes. Weisselberg and McConney BOTH took notes that reflect that scheme.

@Nonilex

Why not put him in jail?

In the real world, people get tossed behind bars for their first contempt of court.

Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" - in Yiddish

Breaking: Trump argues that since the memo line of his check to Cohen did not say "criminal payment" then he is innocent.

@tdwllms1 @GottaLaff NFL: I don't see why he can't be jailed overnights then allowed to shower and dress for trial at Rikers. Lots of prisoners do that. Doesn't need to interrupt the trial.

@JudyOlo Good morning Judy ✌️☕️

15/ Pagliery:

What was different this time was that Justice Merchan finally addressed the elephant in the room.

No, not Trump.

I'm talking about the potential for destabilizing the nation & directing the fury of MAGA on NYC.

Merchan understands the stakes. And they are unbelievably high.
