The motion claims that DOJ provided all the material pertaining to 372. That's NOT TRUE -- and they left out the part they left out in their summary of what went on in the grand jury (as I'll show).

This is from DOJ's response to the Broadview 6 defendants' request for sanctions/investigation. Note how they've put 1) a demand that DOJ actually show what the crime was, 2) Sheri Mecklenburg's departure, 3) Hogan's arrival (w/o mentioning HIS past ethical investigation) 4) dismissal in 1 ¶?
Trump: Any community that turns down AI is making a big mistake. Your taxes are going to go way down. Your house is going to be more valuable. Data centers, if you look at the stats, everything's good around them.
Absolutely fucking disgusting. The GOP is the party of wife beaters, rapists, and Epstein cronies.

as noted yesterday, Trump has now come around to treating an Iranian toll system covering the Strait of Hormuz as a given. Hard to overstate the level of strategic failure. US started the war purely as a war of choice and ends up dramatically empowering Iran and given the Iranian govt big wins.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 5h agoReuters: Iran wants fees of 5%-7% of the price of cargo from ships using the strait; Oman wants 3%. "Making fees voluntary, at least nominally, could be a way out of the impasse, although an implied threat of Iranian attacks could mean shippers would be unlikely to risk transit without paying."

Iran and Oman have reportedly agreed that all ships transiting Hormuz have to go through an Iran-controlled corridor, and are finalizing tolls of 3, 5, or 7%. This would close off the path outside Iranian waters the US encouraged ships to use during the MOU, then started bombing again to keep open.

One thing about this Max Miller story that I don't see much talked about is the way he seems to have surreptitiously taped his wife and daughter for many years. In a way, it's even creepier than the violence allegations.
