@eddiemuller.bsky.social - I finished The Expendable Man moments ago. I read it on your recommendation. I was intrigued by you comment that it could never be made into a movie. Eddie, I love your insights, but I can’t agree with you on this. I think it would make a fantastic movie.

NEW: Read the resignation letter of three federal prosecutors who'd worked on the Eric Adams case: "Now, the Department has decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations in favor of directions from Washington." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...
April 22, 2025

Todd Blanche
Deputy Attorney General
United States Department of Justice

Dear Deputy Attorney General Blanche,
The Department placed each of us on administrative leave ostensibly to review our, and
the Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney's Office's, handling of the Adams case. It is now clear that one of the preconditions you have placed on our returning to the Office is that we must express regret and admit some wrongdoing by the Office in connection with the refusal to move to dismiss the case. We will not confess wrongdoing when there was none.
We have served under Presidents of both parties, advancing their priorities while pursuing
justice without fear or favor. The role of a career prosecutor is not to set policy. But a prosecutor must abide by the oath to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States and the rules of professional ethics set by the bar and the courts. The Department has long understood that these duties can and should coexist with the need to follow Department policies and orders. This is to the benefit of all: the courts, defendants, and the public, who can have confidence in the good faith and judgment of line prosecutors; the Department, which retains credibility while still receiving zealous advocacy from its lawyers; and the prosecutors themselves, who can stand in court confident that they are ethically carrying out their duties.
Now, the Department has decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations in favor of directions from Washington. That is wrong.
Serving in the Southern District of New York has been an honor. There is no greater privilege than to work for an institution whose mandate is to do the right thing, the right way, for the right reasons. We will not abandon this principle to keep our jobs. We resign.
Sincerely,
Celia V. Cohen
Andrew Rohrbach
Derek Wikstrom

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

MAGA’s laughing because Vice President Kamala Harris is fulfilling her oath by overseeing the certification of an election she lost, when their guy wanted to have his Vice President hanged for certifying the election he lost. And that is how you know it’s a fucking cult.

It is possible this NFL season will end with 9 teams having 4 wins or fewer. I believe that since 1978 there has never been a full season with more than 7 such teams. 1991 and 2005 had 7. So did 1987, a 15-game season.
