Yes, didn't care to look through the window and see who was inside. Just decided to start shooting. Under New York law, this satisfies the prerequisites for reckless endangerment ((NY Penal Law § 120.20, with aggravating circumstances).

Agreed. It's like they have a script they reach to after every incident, oblivious to the facts. But Markwayne really isn't very good at lying... nor at public speaking... he had a sure thing as a plumber. Shame he gave that up. bsky.app/profile/norm...

The really silly thing is, no one is actually advocating for workers or even community to take ownership of the means of production. What most “socialists” are, is actually *social democrats* who want a fair open market economy and a level playing field with reasonable safety nets.

BREAKING: Judge Sorokin upholds magistrate judge's order requiring discovery to be produced by the Trump administration in Kseniia Petrova's vindictive prosecution claim, among other discovery and grand jury instructions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Because the government has identified no legal or factual error in Judge Dein's analysis
of Petrova's entitlement to discovery concerning vindictive prosecution— and because the record and the law plainly support her conclusion in the circumstances presented the government's third and final parry fails.
Accordingly, the government's appeal (Doc. No. 63), ably briefed by both parties, is
DENIED. The parties shall meet and confer and shall notify the Court by October 23, 2026, whether a further ruling is needed as to the scope and timing of the discovery to be produced
pursuant to Judge Dein's order, affirmed in full here. If so, those issues shall be raised before
Judge Dein at the final status conference, presently scheduled for November 30, 2026. See Doc.
No. 84.
SO ORDERED.

The First Amendment wasn’t actually “first.” The original First Amendment was meant to ensure that the House of Representatives grew in loose proportion to the country. Instead, the House’s size hasn’t changed since 1911. Today’s “One First” on that history—and the problems a capped House creates:

The unit is hiring again to focus on “how politicians and state officials facilitate the misuse of taxpayer dollars.” That sounds good — until you realize what this actually means is they plan to go after blue state officials for allegations of welfare fraud. Trump’s circle will remain safe. After all, his former defense lawyer runs the DOJ now.
