A lot of you really need to sit down and think about how easily you believed a huge, obvious pack of lies about this, in the face of clear evidence to the contrary, just because you heard it repeated a lot and found it ideologically validating. Barely distinguishable from MAGA conspiracy nonsense.

Reacher is a fucking prince.
In his GQ magazine, he spoke out against his former classmate Matt Gaetz. Ritchson and the politician attended school together after the actor’s family moved from Illinois to Niceville, Fla.

“That motherfucker. We are adversaries,” Ritchson said. “It’s shocking to me that the panhandle of Florida continues to vote for somebody—knowing everything we know about him and the promises that he’s made behind closed doors about pardoning certain criminals—he’s just not a good dude! There’s part of me that wants to get into politics to outdo somebody like him for good, and there’s part of me that’s like, I’m not duplicitous enough to succeed in politics.

NEW: Here is Trump's executive order purporting to end the independence of multi-member head independent agencies. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
Sec. 4. Performance Standards and Management Objectives. The Director of OMB shall establish performance standards and management
objectives for independent agency heads, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, and report periodically to the President on their
performance and efficiency in attaining such standards and
objectives.
Sec. 5. Apportionments for Independent Regulatory Agencies. The Director of OMB shall, on an ongoing basis:
(a) review independent regulatory agencies' obligations for consistency with the President's policies and priorities; and
(b) consult with independent regulatory agency chairmen and adjust such agencies' apportionments by activity, function, project,
or object, as necessary and appropriate, to advance the
President's policies and priorities. Such adjustments to
apportionments may prohibit independent regulatory agencies from
expending appropriations on particular activities, functions, projects, or objects, so long as such restrictions are consistent with
law.Sec. 6. Additional Consultation with the Executive Office of the
President. (a) Subject to subsection (b), independent regulatory agency chairmen shall regularly consult with and coordinate policies
and priorities with the directors of OMB, the White House Domestic
Policy Council, and the White House National Economic Council.
(b) The heads of independent regulatory agencies shall establish
a position of White House Liaison in their respective agencies. Such
position shall be in grade 15 of the General Schedule and shall be
placed
in Schedule C of the excepted service.
(c) Independent regulatory agency chairmen shall submit agency
strategic plans developed pursuant to the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 to the Director of OMB for clearance prior to
finalization.
Sec. 7. Rules of Conduct Guiding Federal Employees'
Interpretation of the Law. The President and the Attorney General, subject to the President's supervision and control, shall provide
authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch. The President and the Attorney General's opinions on questions of law
are
controlling on all employees in the conduct of their official
duties. No employee of the executive branch acting in their official
capacity may advance an interpretation of the law as the position of the United States that contravenes the President or the Attorney
General's opinion on a matter of law, including but not limited to the issuance of regulations, guidance, and positions advanced in litigation, unless authorized to do so by the President or in writing by the Attorney General.

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…
