The Judge had the discretion to dismiss WITHOUT prejudice but in a censure of how prosecutors played loose & fast with what they knew to be the evidence in this case, has dismissed WITH prejudice. The gov’t is out of business in this one.

Corporations have been hiring MAGA-world lawyers with ties to Trump to lobby on their behalf. The latest example? Taylor Farms hiring a former Trump White House official as it deals with a cyclospora investigation. This also comes after it donated $1M to Trump's super PAC. See the problem?

Phillis Wheatley, first published African-American female poet, died #OTD in 1784. Born in W. Africa, sold into slavery at 7 & one of the best-known poets in 18th-century America. Her achievements were a catalyst for the fledgling antislavery movement. poetryfoundation.org/poets/philli... #poetry
Open antique book showing the engraved frontispiece portrait of Phillis Wheatley on the left page. The right page reads: “MEMOIR AND POEMS OF PHILLIS WHEATLEY, A NATIVE AFRICAN AND A SLAVE. ALSO, POEMS BY A SLAVE. THIRD EDITION. BOSTON, PUBLISHED BY ISAAC KNAPP, No. 25 Cornhill. 1838.” Beneath the main title is a short abolitionist verse beginning “Some view the sable race with scornful eye…”Oval portrait engraving of Phillis Wheatley, a young Black woman, seated at a writing desk in profile. She wears a simple 18th-century dress with white neckerchief and cap, thoughtfully touching her chin with one hand while holding a quill pen over paper with the other. An inkwell and small book rest on the table. Surrounding the oval is the caption: “PHILLIS WHEATLEY, NEGRO SERVANT TO MR. JOHN WHEATLEY, OF BOSTON.”
