Reuters: the order to slow Ukraine's Starshield came from inside the White House. The only denial: "No such request was ever made by the president." By Friday morning Putin's spokesman was repeating Trump's line on Zelensky. Nine senators want a name by Nov. 1. narativ.org

Greg Abbott is tied with Gina Hinojosa four days before Texas votes, the first Democrat with a real shot since Ann Richards. His appointees' portal sat on 593,000 registrations for a year as DPS claimed "full compliance." What he did when asked to extend the deadline is in the story.

Judge Kelly found DOJ's national security arguments to be "post hoc." "[N]o evidence" Trump's decision was really based on such concerns.

First, there is no evidence in the record that President Trump made the decision to revoke
Plaintiffs' hard passes on national security grounds from the get-go, nor at any time has he directly stated that national security was the reason for his decision. When he announced the ban with his post on September 18, he did not mention national security. See ECF No. 32-3. When he was
asked later that day about the "particular reason" for his action, he did not mention national secu-rity. See ECF No. 32-4 at 14. And while it is true, days later, that he used the phrase "national security" in subsequent social media posts about the ban, that expression appears to have been simply another way for him to describe Plaintiffs' alleged inaccuracies and unfairness in their reporting about topics like his achievements or electoral success. ECF Nos. 32-5, 32-6; see also
ECF Nos. 32-4 at 19, 44-2 at 6. All this suggests that "national security" was merely a post-hoc justification for the decision, which greatly undermines the idea that President Trump "would have" not "could have"-taken the same action in the absence of Plaintiffs' protected speech, even if it is not dispositive on that point.

ICYMI, great statement by former VP Mike Pence about Trump's betrayal of Ukraine. Scandal there's no one else left in Republican Party able to say it out loud.

President Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin's ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey
Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin's war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin's war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin's war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn't want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia's military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

Judge Sorokin orders vindictive-selective prosecution discovery & disclosure of grand jury minutes for Ksenia Petrova, the frog embryo researcher. "Credible showing [she] was prosecuted due to her status as Harvard-affiliated researcher & J1 visa holder." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

They, in turn, reproduce under-oath statements made by a longtime customs
attorney in Petrova's federal habeas proceedings, which also concerned the events at issue in this
case. Doc. No. 45 at 13. The attorney had provided a sworn declaration attesting that, during his thirty-five-year career, he was not aware of any person having been prosecuted for smuggling without having been processed by customs officers for a "failure to declare" violation, nor could
he recall ever seeing smuggling charges brought for failing to declare a research sample
regardless of the traveler's willfulness. Id.; Doc. No. 67 at 22 (quoting same declaration). In the
circumstances presented, the foregoing suffices to satisfy Petrova's burden of supplying "some
evidence" of discriminatory effect as the relevant caselaw requires. The cited declaration
comprises a credible showing that Petrova was prosecuted due to her status as a Harvard-affiliated researcher and J-1 visa holder-
facts which "some evidence" before the Court also
shows placed her in the crosshairs of those presently controlling the Executive Branch. E.g., Doc. No. 67-2 (referencing visa and "educated individuals with a pedigree"); Doc. No. 67-4 at 5 (responding to "fake news" and mentioning Petrova's affiliation with Harvard); see also Doc.
No. 67 at 9-10 (describing context in which Petrova's case arose and actions targeting Harvard
and higher-education-related visa holders). The same declaration also credibly shows that other
travelers who have willfully failed to declare research samples or similar items but were not
Harvard-affiliated visa holders were not treated the same way.
