HAPPENING NOW: The jury says it wants Merchan to begin the instructions with the part about how they are supposed to consider the evidence and draw inferences -- including the metaphor about how if the ground is wet in the AM, you can infer it rained over night.

@GottaLaff That is so funny and I'm pleased other commentators have mentioned it.

...At 2:14 p.m., Trump walks in, entourage in tow.

Boris Epshteyn just handed a piece of paper with a photo on it to Kaitlan Collins.

I thought he maybe said "Conway" to her, but I'm not exactly sure.

The first potential juror of the day, who mentioned that her bad anxiety might prevent her from being fair and punctual, had said: "The more days that go on and more and more people in my life know that I'm here without me even telling them, they just put pieces together."

#Trump: “I’m being persecuted the same way Jesus was in terms of horrible things being done to a big star.” #comics

Entire strip here:

https://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/2024/04/07

Trump at “The Last Dinner Party”: It’s INCREDIBLE, okay? no one can BELIEVE how unbelievable it is! I’m suffering SO powerfully now, SO strongly that men, big burly men, ask me with tears in their eyes, ‘Sir, why do you DO it?’ Well, I do it for YOU, okay? I’m being persecuted the same way Jesus was in terms of horrible things being done to a big star! When you think about it, it’l like you’re the 12 Corinthians at the Last Dinner Party…”

    On our drive up to Canada, we spotted a #Tesla Cybertruck on the road. Whoa. It looked like what a 1950s sci-fi movie’s idea of a 1970s car would look like. What a laughable eyesore.

    Our house just went up for sale today.

    Home sellers in the U.S. would no longer be forced to pay up to 6% commission to agents under a settlement that experts say will drive down prices https://breaking.iavian.net/article/359824

    @GottaLaff SIX PERCENT !!!???
    In the UK people rebel at anything over 2% (and you can usually get better deals.)
    There are also two property sales websites which cover almost every (Real) Estate Agent between them, so buyer can find every property for sale quite easily.

    @GottaLaff for 6% I was able to get a 6-month bridging loan to buy my current house while I waited for the cash when my previous one was e sold.
