Tick, tock. Lindsey Halligan, the newly-installed prosecutor in EDVA, has less than a week to secure an indictment against James Comey before a key statute of limitations runs out. Ben Wittes and I examine her charging options. Spoiler alert: they all suck.

RESULT: Adelita Grijalva is heading to Congress. The Democrat has won the
#AZ07
special election very easily, and she will replace her father Raúl Grijalva. AP just called it. Among other things, Grijalva is expected to be the 218th person to sign the Epstein discharge position.

Resistance, refusal and RIDICULE are absolutely essential to deposing dictators. Bravo to the brave folks behind this. Time to call out lawmakers who blocked release of Epstein files for exactly what they are: Senator Pedophile.

Last week, Disney/ABC caved to Trump administration pressure. Millions of Americans helped them find their backbone. Whether you watch Jimmy Kimmel or not, today's decision is a victory for free speech. We've reached out to WABC to reschedule the town hall.

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos. Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.” Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel. That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.
