Lawyers for #Trump asked the judge overseeing his criminal hush money case to terminate the gag order against the former president, saying it’s no longer justified since the trial is over.
On the 1st day of #testimony in #HunterBiden’s federal #gun trial, #jurors heard his audio of his memoir, where he recounted his #drug use in graphic detail. A federal prosecutor told jurors “no one is above the #law,” & defense said the he did not “knowingly” lie when filling out forms to purchase a weapon.

Generally if I’m introducing someone to Stephen King books, I recommend Pet Sematary or Cujo. Those two books, to me seem a bit more approachable
>300 #House lawmakers were reimbursed ≥$5.2M for #food & #lodging while on official business in Washington last year under a new, #TaxpayerFunded prgm that doesn’t require receipts.
The prgm, which kicked off last yr after a #Republican-led House panel passed it, was intended to make it easier for lawmakers to maintain separate homes in DC & their home districts.
@GottaLaff Sooo....those Law and Order lovin' #Republicans have not been respecting the law, again. Following the example of #FelonTrump by any chance?!
If I was a university prof and a student's parent contacted me demanding that I change their grade I would get my mom to write back to them & tell them to leave me alone
The bummer for many is that the smaller cell companies utilize the AT&T lines; when the interruptions occur, it impacts many more users than just AT&T. I have found T-Mobile to be the most reliable of late. JMHO for what it's worth.
“Some of #Tesla's institutional shareholders are getting out, convinced that the electric carmaker's days of dizzying growth are in the rear-view mirror.
@GottaLaff Tesla’s core competency - electric drivetrains and batteries, were quickly commoditisable, and every car maker can do it, or buy it off the shelf.
Tesla’s core weakness - institutional knowledge of WHY cars are designed and built the way they are, can only be acquired if a company’s management has the humility to understand standard industry practices are the result of generations of engineering geniuses improving on what came before.
Why is it that the worst tasks: the ones I want to do the least are things that take like 17min tops to complete— but I think about how I haven’t done them — oh no no just can’t bear to do them for 30min a day for two weeks?
For me, at least, a task is odious if it may cause me to find out bad news that produces more tasks, if it involves forms, if it involves talking to people on the phone, especially someone I don’t know (what if they are mean to me? 😫)
The worst task would involve filling out a form— then making a phone call to someone who gets very angry and says I did the form wrong and now must fill out a form requesting form to get a new form. And also a “I’m bad at forms” form since I’m terrible and did the forms wrong and should probably be in prison or yelled at ritually every day. Then my phone would ring and new person would be angry and say I did the “bad at forms” form incorrectly. 😭😫
