this is so freaky. We have neighbors, and next-door to them is a 60 acre, wooded tract, and next-door to that is a 20 acre archery range. Near as I can tell, the fire started at the archery range or in that general vicinity. It is now enormous, so big you can’t see the edges of the smoke. And it’s j...

We’re packed up and ready to evacuate. most of our stuff is just stuff, and I don’t really care about it. We grabbed a few things that are irreplaceable and I packed up all my musical instruments. I have about $20,000 worth, and none of it is insured.

NOT a controlled burn, and less than a mile from our house! We’re under a Red Flag Warning for fire. I’m worried. Very mountainous terrain with very few roads.

US v. Trump - Espionage Act - (9:23-cr-80101) District Court, S.D. Florida

I haven't followed this that closely, but I don't think it's that unusual for a judge to ask the parties to submit competing jury instructions. It's a starting point for litigating what the instructions will ultimately say.

State of New York vs Trump, et al - the civil fraud case against the Trump Organization

If he’s facing “insurmountable difficulties” in securing the bond, it seems likely that he’d face similar (if perhaps not identical) difficulties in paying the judgment. To me, that is all the more reason to deny any stay of enforcement, so the judgment creditor can get start collecting. I have no s...

Farros Cousins points to the fine print in the submitted bond and that Carroll's lawyer Roberta Kaplan wants answer from the court. Essentially the fine print gives the defendant 30 days to pay Chubb, then Chubb gets another 30 days to pay Carroll . part may have been mentioned before :snippity: Ye...

A half sammich of swiss, lettuce, and onion on WW with mayo and a touch of mustard. Never had a problem before. ask them to check you for Alpha gal.

I was in the ER again yesterday. I had another allergic reaction. We went to my favorite Mexican restaurant and I had chicken tacos. Chicken. Flour Tortilla. Salsa. That’s it. There must have been some cross-contamination. About an hour after I ate I got a stomach ache. That’s a common symptom with ...

INDICTED (INDICATED) #4 - Quadfecta! Perfecta? - Judge Scott McAfee - Georgia v. Trump ET AL - P01135809- Fani Willis

One thing I’ve never understood about this supposed actual conflict of interest and Willis supposedly having a financial stake: The State AG’s office, that is, Willis, hired Wade. Wade did the work, and earned the money he got from the State. Why shouldn’t he get to do what he wants with the money i...

The tweet says, “In other words, she punted the decision to later.”

I don’t think that’s quite right. Trump would have to make another motion, otherwise she’s leaving it up to the jury.

Bragg Manhattan DA charges tfg? Hush money. tfg “INDICATED!”

If [Trump] can’t meet all of the elements of the defense, what his lawyers advised him probably isn’t relevant. And if it is relevant, then he has to waive the privilege to get it in front of the jury. Suppose Trump gets the advice-of-counsel defense onto the field with the requirement to waive att...

Bragg Manhattan DA charges tfg? Hush money. tfg “INDICATED!”

I think it’s unlikely that the judge is going to allow him to both raise the defense and not raise it. He’s going to have to pick one. If he can’t meet all of the elements of the defense, what his lawyers advised him probably isn’t relevant. And if it is relevant, then he has to waive the privilege ...
