If I'm sick I have to report to a DC govt clinic after 3 days or submit hospital/physician paperwork explaining what's up. And I get 4 hours of sick leave every two weeks.

It is unfortunately very common for DV victims to stay with and/or try to appease their assailants. I can't speak for the alleged victim here, but I've had apparent victims beg me not to arrest the assailant, turn me away at the door, pick the assailant up from jail, tell the DAG not to charge, etc.

"The fund is totes dead, for real you guys," Blanche said late Sunday, saying "Wink wink" out loud while exageratedly winking towards the camera.

Y'know how in dating apps when you use up all your "likes" and then they give you someone really attractive so that when you try to like them they're all whoa sorry bud can't do that unless you pay us? I think they should tell you if they use your profile as subscription bait.

This week the DOJ put in a motion of appearance in my/Harry's lawsuit to stop this slush fund saying that it's moot, and then they turn around and do this a few days later. The suit still stands.
Norm Eisen@normeisen.bsky.social · 5d agoBREAKING: Trump is appealing the big win vs. the slush fund for the 35 judges by my org, Platkin & Susman Contrary to what Todd Blanche testified & told Cornyn & Tillis, I guess the slush fund is not dead after all! I explained @nytimes.com👇& I'll discuss at 5pm ET w/ @nicollewallace.bsky.social
Pretty much any demographic or cohort you can think of has been treated worse than the insurrectionists. This includes people who went to the DMV or had to try and file an insurance claim with Liberty Mutual.

Tried to buy new running shoes but of course they have nothing in a size 14 in store. No love for big feet. But they have this wacky foot-scanning technology now that gives way more information about my clodhoppers than I ever thought I'd have.
"[ICE] is not law enforcement. [It] is a militia with a badge." - David Myers, retired commander, San Diego Sheriff's Office
I'm a former cop. ICE isn't law enforcement, it's a militia.
ICE shootings in Houston and in Biddeford, Maine, are the predictable output of a federal agency that lacks training, oversight and a settled mission.

Did you know Vincent Van Gogh lived in poverty and only sold one painting while he was alive? Remained unknown throughout his life and no one cared about his art, even though it is regarded as masterful today. I guess the point is genius is often unrecognized in its own time.

This reminds me of an anecdote from when I was the Rear Admiral and Commander of the Submarine Force of the U.S. Pacific Fleet...
NEW: The Jan. 6 insurrection left American taxpayers with $2.7 billion in costs that were never recovered. Now, convicted Jan. 6 defendants are trying to use the Federal Tort Claims Act to extract substantial and secretive payouts from the government.
January 6ers cost taxpayers $2.7 billion. Now they're seeking secret payouts. - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
January 6ers could seek negotiations for secretive payouts through the Federal Tort Claims Act should Congress fail to take action.

In case anyone needs this said: simple failure to comply with law enforcement orders does not give law enforcement the legal or ethical justification to use lethal force. If that were the case I could have mag dumped into the crowd on Jan 6th and no one would have objected.
