Once a Liar, Always a Liar ================== The White House shared a photo of Trump's 1964 New York Military Academy yearbook photo. They failed to mention that the medals he's wearing are NOT his. Trump borrowed a dress jacket and multiple medals from fellow cadet Michael Scadron for the photo.

Let's not lose sight of how abnormal this is. Trump is demanding prosecutions over Reflecting Pool fiasco even though his own DOJ has shown conclusively it isn't supported by facts or law. On the pod, @barbmcquade.bsky.social is brilliant on the bigger stakes here: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

Trump’s Fury at Reflecting Pool Mess Darkens as Damning New Leaks Hit

As Trump’s effort to jail people over his failed renovation starts looking even worse, a former federal prosecutor explains why this corruption of DOJ is so dangerous—and how to fight back.

NEW @crisesnotes.bsky.social piece: So much of the joint United States-Japanese currency intervention last Friday makes sense, even considering Bessent's silly theatrics. Yet some strange choices "under the hood" portend danger for the global financial system www.crisesnotes.com/a-hidden-geo...

Michigan health officials are working tirelessly to trace the source of a potential parasitic outbreak. At this time, we need a robust public health system and sufficient funding for research and development

Almost any fine against the gov't is going to be perfunctory, but it is coercive for executive branch officers and attorneys, at least short of anyone cabinet-level and above. The award of attorneys fees is significant as this drags on. The longer DHS drags this out the harder it is to go on.

Fed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.

B. Defendants’ Noncompliance Is Intentional And Not In Good Faith. Having found that Defendants are in violation of the January 16 Forensic Imaging Order, the burden now shifts to Defendants to show that they were unable to comply. Affordable Media, 179 F.3d at 1239 (9th Cir. 1999). They fail to make that showing. Upon review of the parties’ submissions and counsel’s representations at the hearing, it does not appear that Defendants’ noncompliance is due to an inability to comply. Instead, the clear and convincing evidence shows that Defendants have acted intentionally and not in good faith.

ICYMI last night, DHS is currently being fined every day for contempt of court until it coughs up the cell phone records of officers involved in immigration stops in L.A. last year that looked like racial profiling rather than reasonable cause. short thread -->

A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.

Judge Pained as He Grants Dismissal of Jan. 6 Charges Against Oath Keepers

The judge, Amit P. Mehta, blasted the administration’s request for a dismissal in the case, saying it bestowed “unearned grace” on the Oath Keepers defendants “by wiping their records clean.”
