In legal arguments, Lisa Cook's lawyers have leaned on the 9-0 Supreme Court decision called Humphrey's Executor to argue for Fed independence. But while it technically remains the law of the land, the Supreme Court has signaled it'll soon be dead. www.businessinsider.com/supreme-cour...

I don’t litigate so I don’t know whether this is the case, but I would think that if you did this in discovery you would have a very rough time with the judge

So the House Oversight Committee just released 33,295 pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents. Nearly all of it was already public. The committee hasn't said what's new. If I wanted to obscure new info about Epstein from the public while pretending to be transparent, this is exactly what I'd do.

I joined @lauracoates.com's CNN show with the great Sarah Krissoff and @willsommer.bsky.social to talk about what's happening with the Trump administration and the Epstein files It's an important case, and I hope we will all get to see these files soon. www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epst...

NEW: I spoke to four people who've seen the Epstein files. They say there are no signs in there that Jeffrey Epstein worked for intelligence. Nothing the US government wanted to be classified. No interest from intelligence agencies. Nada. www.businessinsider.com/jeffrey-epst...

As a person who covered Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal trial, and who has read through pretty much every single Jeffrey Epstein lawsuit, I find the current discourse to be in bizarro land.

Rudy Giuliani's legal problems are far from over. Accuser Noelle Dunphy is keeping up her sexual assault lawsuit, despite Giuliani's motion to dismiss.

Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News for $787 million, alleging it failed to learn the lessons of the lawsuit from Dominion, to which it paid $787.5 million 2 years ago. www.businessinsider.com/gavin-newsom...

The former CEO of Barclays bank lied when he told financial regulators he had only a "purely professional" relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, a British court ruled. businessinsider.com/jes-staley-b...

I don't think I've seen this reported elsewhere — Sullivan & Cromwell's Robert Giuffra and Matthew Schwartz attended the E. Jean Carroll appeal hearing yesterday, as did Boris Epshteyn. Giuffra and Schwartz represent Trump in his New York criminal and civil fraud appeals.

every once in a while my spotify shuffle ends up on that one obscure banger from an artist i met at a downtown art show who posts disturbing thoughts on instagram about how lizard people are out to get her

The Law & Crime network is making an AI-generated recreation of Diddy trial testimony using the official court transcript.

www.businessinsider.com/diddy-trial-... What do Mike Meyers, Harry Potter, and #Andor have in common? All had cameos in the three days of jury selection for the #USvCombs trial. Also weed and Altoids. Read about the strangeness — @businessinsider.com — @jayshams.bsky.social

I can think of the perfect Catholic centrist elderly man who can bring a major institution through a transition period. And he currently has plenty of time on his hands.

New with @jayshams.bsky.social: What smart people are saying about Meta's argument that it's not a social media monopoly (scroll to the end for a surprise).

I think this got memory-holed, but Chris Krebs sued the Trump 2020 presidential campaign after one of its lawyers, Joseph diGenova, went on Newsmax and said Krebs should be "taken out at dawn and shot" for contradicting Trump.

It's a great day to look at your stock portfolio

Trump's executive orders and deals with law firms aren't just about getting Big Law to bend the knee. They're about cutting off firepower from legal challenges to his political priorities. www.businessinsider.com/trump-big-la...

there should be an app that lets you get 30 minutes at a bar mitzvah smorgasbord whenever you want. like what if it's a monday night and i'm craving a pastrami carving station.

This is an important explanatory piece by Jacob Shamsian on @businessinsider.com about Trump and big law. It explains where things stand with Perkins Coie and Paul Weiss and explores why Jones Day isn't in the mix. www.businessinsider.com/trumps-law-f...

By a weird coincidence, I read this passage in "The Good Spy" by Kai Bird last night. Arafat had a plan to give up on Israel and make Jordan the official Palestinian state.

I am totally against any single-purpose kitchen utensils. Except for this. It has drastically improved my life.

This story is insane apnews.com/article/new-...

Huge plot hole in A Real Pain. Jesse Eisenberg offers to drop Kieran Culkin off at Penn Station to catch a ride to Binghamton. But there is no train that goes from Penn Station to Binghamton. He should have offered to drop him off at Port Authority.

Near the end of his first presidential term, Donald Trump pardoned a man named Christopher Wade for a secret crime, which had been completely under seal. Four years later, we now more know of the story. www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump...

Came across this indelible image of an utterly devastated Grover in a Sesame Street book published in 1996.

60 Minutes did an incredible segment on Roy Cohn in 1979, which was posted to YouTube. Ken Auletta had a great quote: "You cannot hurt Roy Cohn. He's just invulnerable. Because he recognizes that the more publicity he gets, no matter what the publicity is, he benefits."

How did Luigi Mangione go from elite colleges and prep schools to the prime suspect in one of America's most high-profile murders? @klong.bsky.social, @jayshams.bsky.social and Grace Kay hit the phones and traced his digital footprint. Here's what we found. www.businessinsider.com/who-is-luigi...

Asked my 2-year-old son where we're going this afternoon and he answered "The Black Parade." How does he know about that.

Apparently someone is filing copyright takedown requests for that retracted Esquire article that falsely claimed George HW Bush pardoned Neil Bush.
