DNA testing showed 30 years ago that *a* Jefferson fathered children with Sally Hemings. But holdouts desperately claimed it wasn't Thomas. Now DNA from a lock of Thomas Jefferson's hair cut on his deathbed proves it was him: www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-...

The verdict form is 37 pages long so I won't post all of it, but here are some examples of what the jury found to have been deceptive statements - We don't share your personal information - We don't buy and sell data - We don't give your data to advertisers - We do not profit from misinfo or hate

JFC Sheri Mecklenberg's resignation letter says USA Boutros made her charge the Broadview 6 as a felony conspiracy, when she wanted to charge them as misdemeanors. "you cannot buy my silence by dangling continued leave" s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
This decision to keep me and my attorneys in the dark was consistent with your handling of this
matter from the outset. No one consulted me about any transcript redactions. I had nothing to hide
and in fact demonstrated quite the opposite in memorializing brief and incidental interactions with
two grand jurors. You declined to notify me about the May 21, 2026 Court hearing, which I had
the indignity of learning about after-the-fact from the media. I would have expected the leadership
of the Office to ensure that a career prosecutor whose conduct and reputation were about to be
publicly condemned received notice and an opportunity to be heard. Had I been afforded that basic
fairness at the outset, I believe matters would not have reached this point.
Since I was not present, I was a convenient target to be scapegoated and publicly vilified. You
recklessly agreed in court that I had committed misconduct without even asking for my account,
fully reviewing the record or briefing the law. That evening, you sent an office-wide email laying
responsibility at my feet for a felony prosecution that you personally directed over my objection
that the case was better suited to misdemeanor charges. You then publicly announced an
investigation of my conduct spanning twenty years. These inexplicable actions severely damaged
a reputation I worked hard to build over decades and have damaged my prospects for future
employment and income.
Throughout all of this, I remained silent. But now the defense has leveled additional false and
inflammatory accusations against me that the Office has not rebutted and apparently has no
intention of rebutting. At the same time, you have threatened to terminate me if I attempt to rebut
the false allegations and bring additional matters to the Court’s attention. You remind me that I
am still a DOJ employee when you want to silence me, but you have not treated me as a DOJ
employee throughout this matter, including when, in May, you placed me on leave and…

For example, if the Iran conflict turns into a spectacular symbolic failure, it'll probably be because a major warship gets sunk or a substantial assault is repelled. That would be dramatic. But the actual collapse is the decision-making process that led to that point, not the event itself.

Law school: it can be hard to find evidence of intent. We often need to rely in inferences and common sense. Trump: I'm banning them "as a result of their constant 'reporting.'" Excited to see how SCOTUS finds a way to say we can't know that they were banned as a result of their reporting.

BREAKING: Judge in Kennedy Center case orders 30-day notice be given before “any changes to the scope of the [renovation] project plans presented to the Court … including but not limited to any ‘demolition’ of the Center's main building.”
Sep 17, 2026
MINUTE ORDER: Plaintiff's 84 Motion for an Emergency Hearing is hereby
DENIED. By September 23, 2026,
Defendants shall a file a detailed status report, supported by a sworn declaration from a knowledgeable representative of the Kennedy Center, on the "temporary closure" and emergency repairs described in Defendants' 86 Response and Mr.
Floca's [86-1] supporting declaration.
Further, the parties are reminded of Defendants' representation to the Court in the companion case D.C.
Preservation League that they will
"inform Plaintiffs and the Court if there is any change in the Board's plans that would constitute a reversal of the Center's position that the building will not be demolished and that no new structure will be constructed." Joint Meet & Confer Report (Aug. 28, 2026), Case No. 26-cV-981 (CRC), ECF No. 62 at 2. To avoid any confusion on that score given more recent events, the Court hereby ORDERS Defendants to provide such notice in writing to Plaintiffs in both cases more than 30 days before the implementation of any changes to the scope of the project plans presented to the Court in D.C.
Preservation League, including but not limited to any "demolition" of the Center's main building. Finally, Plaintiff may seek discovery regarding the subject of their 85 Notice of
Supplemental Authority to the extent permitted by the Federal Rules and the Court's scheduling order. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge
Christopher R. Cooper on 09/17/2026.
