From my notes—not a transcript, which doesn't exist yet—this was the exchange between Judge Nachmanoff & AUSA Lemons about the deputy AG telling him not to reveal if there was a declination memo in the Comey case. (A memo on why prosecutors weren't bringing charges.)

At 4pm, @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org will moderate a discussion of today's Comey hearing with @annabower.bsky.social @mollyroberts.bsky.social & me. Please join us. youtube.com/live/dEUt_Kz... and open.substack.com/live-stream/...

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court. Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

Speaker Johnson says he has "national security concerns" about releasing the Epstein Files. "Declassification should always rest and always has rested with the agency that originated the intelligence. Why? So that they can protect their critical sources and methods."

In Northfield, Minnesota, masked ICE GOONS violently abducted a father. The Goons smashed a car window, beat and dragged the man at gunpoint, while his teenage son filmed the incident and begged them to stop. The father has not been seen since. (November 11, 2025)

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

A reminder that Trump is loyal to no one. No one. He will always eventually screw over everyone.

every time you think the new WaPo editorial board can't embarrass itself any more, they manage to find a way. Left: 'Texas gerrymandering is no big deal!', from August. Right: 'Maryland gerrymandering is an affront to Western civilization!', from today.

It's impossible to overstate how much of what ICE is doing on the ground reflects this completely preposterous conflation of hostile *speech* and hostile *conduct.* The First Amendment protects—or, at least, is supposed to protect—the former up and until it's a "true threat," which none of this is.

Breaking from NJ AG Platkin: "Early this morning, law enforcement responded to threats that were received by email involving certain polling places in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic Counties. Law enforcement … have worked swiftly to secure these polling locations."

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Seriously, though - people keep asking "what are the protesters asking for, and what's their strategic plan to get it?" I think what they're asking for is for America to be restored and Trump to subjected to the law. And I think the plan to get it is to demonstrate that there are so, so many of us.
