As it turns out, Milo went too easy on Benny. It's clear that this particular group of conservatives wants gays to stay in the closet because they're afraid their partners, if they were allowed to live out and proud, would feel too comfortable talking about what they did last weekend.

If you read Putin's statement about the capitulation he wrangled from Trump yesterday, rather than Trump, it becomes clear that Putin has finally finished fully recruiting Donald Trump.

A federal judge has sanctioned a DOJ attorney for accusing an ICE detainee's attorney of misconduct without any evidence. The punishment: Two hours of legal training about the "special role of US attorneys" and the need to support claims with evidence. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

1) Putin doesn't have diesel to spare. 2) Diesel is cover for lifting sanctions. 3) Putin's statement sounds like he's offering an Iran escape hatch, which I've been predicting. 4) Half of the MASSIVE bribes Putin is offering now don't exist. 5) But he does mention security coop -- Kash.

Russia supplies Iran with missiles and intelligence data used to target American forces. Trump helps Russia secure funding for the production of these missiles, while involving ordinary Americans at gas stations in this bloodshed. Blood-soaked diesel: 98%Ukrainian and 2%American military blood.

UPDATE: Judge April Perry denies the government's bid to keep all of this under seal — including the attorney's signature block. "The government has also publicly disclosed … that there is an OPR investigation in this case."
MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: The Government's motion to seal 275 is denied. As already noted, the grand jury transcripts in this matter have already been made public - without any opposition from the Government. The Government has also publicly disclosed - in both court filings and open court - the fact that there is an OPR investigation in this case involving the prosecutors who were in the grand jury. See, e.g., Doc. 247 at 48-49. In addition to those two matters, the Government has also asked to seal the "Legal Principles" section of its motion, which sets forth basic principles of law, and the signature block of one of its attorneys. There is a presumption that materials that underpin a judicial decision are open to public inspection unless they meet very specific criteria. See Baxter Intern., Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories, 297 F.3d 544, 545 (7th Cir. 2002). No such criteria are present here. The Clerk of Court is directed to unseal 272 . Mailed notice. (jcc,) (Entered: 10/09/2026)

The thing about the mystery (wo)man who signed the mulligan on the Broadview 6 filings: they have a VERY short title, which would rule out of the people I'd expect: Singh, McCotter, Woodward.
Two signature blocks. The lefthand one shows Thomas Walsh's name. The entirely redacted righthand one marks the name and title, the latter of which is very short.

In the Broadview 6 case, DOJ has filed an apparently sealed request to release grand jury material. Judge Perry was like, "Sure, but you already did that." I have noted that the existing transcript does not match known events.
MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: The Government's request to disclose grand jury materials 272 is granted. That said, the Court notes that the 10/9, 10/16, and 10/23 Grand Jury transcripts - in both redacted and almost entirely unredacted form - are already on the public docket. See Doc. 129-1; 129-2; 229-1; 219; 220; 221. Mailed notice. (jcc,) (Entered: 10/08/2026)

BREAKING: Judge Sorokin upholds magistrate judge's order requiring discovery to be produced by the Trump administration in Kseniia Petrova's vindictive prosecution claim, among other discovery and grand jury instructions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Because the government has identified no legal or factual error in Judge Dein's analysis
of Petrova's entitlement to discovery concerning vindictive prosecution— and because the record and the law plainly support her conclusion in the circumstances presented the government's third and final parry fails.
Accordingly, the government's appeal (Doc. No. 63), ably briefed by both parties, is
DENIED. The parties shall meet and confer and shall notify the Court by October 23, 2026, whether a further ruling is needed as to the scope and timing of the discovery to be produced
pursuant to Judge Dein's order, affirmed in full here. If so, those issues shall be raised before
Judge Dein at the final status conference, presently scheduled for November 30, 2026. See Doc.
No. 84.
