Orban is, of course, not telling the truth here - the Commission’s decision does not affect "what we can read and say". BTW Hungary (like every EU Member State) voted for the Digital Services Act.

As a Muslim, at a time of division Mamdani has brought much of his city together. He spoke for Mexican abuelas & Ethiopian aunties. “No longer would politics be something that is done to us. Now, it is something that we do”. It is shameful that not one of our UK leaders has been able to do the same.

The president had a MRI but won't say why. He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why. He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical. He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it. How is any of this ok?

DOJ filed its response to Letitia James's motion today. It argues that Lindsey Halligan's text exchange with me was appropriate because her comments were made "to protect [her] client from the substantial undue prejudicial effect of recent publicity..." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Defendant asks the Court to remind the Government that it must comply with relevant law
involving media contacts. Such a reminder is important for all parties before the Court, not just
1
Case 2:25-cr-00122-JKW-DEM
Document 30 Filed 10/28/25 Page 2 of 10 PagelD# 158 the Government. Furthermore, Defendant's request to impose unilateral requirements that the
Government preserve Government/media communications and "create and maintain" a contact log
is not required and overly broad. If the Court imposes such requirements on the Government, it should impose them on all litigants. A criminal defendant's "right to a fair trial does not give him
the right to insist upon the opposite of that right - that is, a trial prejudiced in his favor." United States v. Trump, 88 F.4th 990, 1003 (D.C. Cir. 2023) (citations and quotations omitted). Finally, United States Attorney Lindsey Halligan's (Halligan) disclosure to protect her client from
substantial undue prejudice is permitted under the ABA Rules of Professional Conduct.
