When I have contributed to campaigns it has never crossed my mind to consider how I would benefit from the candidate. I have only ever considered how well they would serve the community as a whole. Is that not what donors should expect?

So, liar in chief makes a tweet, uncorrobated, saying there are talks. The news reports do nothing tonconfirm this. The counterparts deny it. And the markets react like it actually happened. And we are not investigating market manipulation?

Close your eyes and imagine, for a moment, what the world would be like if we had no borders, no military, a global currency, and free exchange of human information, no AI, free education, and free healthcare. What would be lost (that really matters)? What would be gained (that’s truly valuable)?

Please take note, Michael Fiddelke, nothing you do to tweak Target’s offerings will get me back in the door until Target restores diversity, equity, and inclusion policies that make sense for our increasingly diverse and systematically disadvantaged population. That’s it. Nothing else. Grow a pair.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

So I hear that Mamdani’s use of the term “collective” has sparked the small feet energy of maggats. And yet the first word of OUR Constitution is “We”. The second and third words are singular: “the people”. Pretty much sounds like our foundation is the collectivism of a single society.

Just a question: if the argument that the meaning of the 5th and the 14th amendments need new context because their intention only applies to their original historical circumstances is the 2nd amendment also due to be reinterpreted under contemporary context?

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.
BY EMAIL
Re: United States v. Eric Adams, 24 Cr. 556 (DEH)
Mr. Bove,
I have received correspondence indicating that I refused your order to move to dismiss the indictment against Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, including the express possibility of reinstatement of the indictment. That is not exactly correct. The U.S.
Attorney, Danielle R. Sassoon, never asked me to file such a motion, and I therefore never had an opportunity to refuse. But I am entirely in agreement with her decision not to do so, for the reasons stated in her February 12, 2025 letter to the Attorney General.
In short, the first justification for the motion-that Damian Williams's role in the case somehow tainted a valid indictment supported by ample evidence, and pursued under four different U.S. attorneys is so weak as to be transparently pretextual. The second justification is worse.
No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives.
There is a tradition in public service of resigning in a last-ditch effort to head off a serious mistake. Some will view the mistake you are committing here in the light of their generally negative views of the new Administration. I do not share those views. I can even understand how a Chief Executive whose background is in business and politics might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal. But any assistant U.S. attorney would know much i i red oril, in this ily. wing the perset arthro he Reside is ving to,
give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.
Please consider this my resignation. It has been an honor to serve as a prosecutor in the
Southern District of New York.
Yours truly,
Hagan Scotten
Assistant United States Att…
