Hey legal and finance Bluesky: I just got a court notice of a class action trial verdict against Elon Musk for manipulating the stock price of Twitter in 2022. If you sold shares (or bought puts or sold calls) from May-Oct 2022, you can get some of Elon Musk's money. Here are the docs.
Court-ordered class action lawsuit trial verdict notice informing individuals of a jury verdict against Elon Musk entitling individuals who sold Twitter stock (and/or bought put options or sold call options) during the period of May-October 2022 that they are entitled to monetary compensation due to the trial verdict finding that Musk illegally manipulated the stock price of Twitter.

Trump in Alabama: 44.3% fav - 46.7% unfav. “That’s in a poll by a center-right firm, in a sample where Republicans outnumber Democrats by nearly 18 percentage points and self-identified conservatives outnumber liberals by more than 2½ to 1.”

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Hearn's case presents "exceptional" circumstances. He "faces the unique possibility that the govt will revive this case—one that it has already announced to be meritless—based on political pressure brought by the President of the United States on his subordinate officers."
While all defendants deal with
some degree of uncertainty regarding the odds of re-prosecution after a case has been
dismissed, Mr. Hearn faces the unique possibility that the government will revive this case - one that it has already announced to be meritless - based on political pressure
brought by the President of the United States upon his subordinate officers.

Not a great sign when your 12-person private fundraiser includes someone who hates you enough to leak damaging audio
The audio of Mr. Paxton was shared with The Times by an attendee who recorded him speaking at a private fund-raiser in Washington attended by roughly a dozen people. The person, who opposes Mr. Paxton’s campaign and provided the recording to The Times, was granted anonymity because Mr. Paxton’s remarks were private.

I had a lot of fun with this thread yesterday and people seem to enjoy it. I am sad to have to report, that today they have reprogrammed the new federal chatbot to refuse to answer questions that might embarrass Trump. Eg: Yesterday Today
Is President Trump mentioned repeatedly in the Epstein case files?

Yes. Official materials say President Trump's name appears in the released Epstein-related files. A mention is not proof of a crime.Is President Trump mentioned repeatedly in the Epstein case files?

I only answer questions about U.S. government services and information, and I do not offer political commentary.
If you have a question about a federal program, benefit, agency, form, or how to complete a government task, ask that and I can help.

Wrote about how Trump’s tantrums over the Supreme Court reveal the not so hidden subtext of what Republicans expect from the justices. Also a mention of how Supreme Court politics resemble the Calciopoli scandal. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
As is nearly always the case with the president’s accusations, this was an illuminating projection. Trump fears that public pressure on the Supreme Court can sway the justices and how they rule. So when they don’t side with him, he assumes that’s what happened, and he trashes the Court in the hope that it will side with him the next time. He views criticism of the Supreme Court much as he views laws in general: When Trump or one of his allies wants to do something, such as use taxpayer dollars for cultish campaign ads, it’s legal. When his opponents want to do something, it’s illegal
