Asked if there was a misunderstanding, Bruce Fein tells me: “It’s a mess.” Fein says he will be filing a response to Pollack’s claim that he didn’t authorize Fein to file a notice to represent Nicolas Maduro.

Excited for Marathon Sunday… the best day in NYC and my favorite way to see the five boroughs. Look for me if you’re out cheering. 🙌
And there’s still time to support Team Beans & the fight against pediatric cancer.

Trump and Wray were always a mismatch. The Mar a Lago search ended any chance Trump would keep Wray as FBI director once he won election.

In the spring of 2022, Donald Trump sent a handwritten note to Chris Wray, complimenting him for his 60 Minutes interview where he discussed Chinese espionage. Trump didn’t know at the time FBI was beginning classified documents probe that led to charges. https://t.co/ebYXrD7H5f

EXCLUSIVE on @CNN: We have obtained surveillance footage of Diddy violently assaulting his ex Cassie in 2016.

This incident was referenced in her Nov. 2023 lawsuit. Diddy denied all of her allegations. This video tells a different story.

Warning: This footage is disturbing.

He is accused of emptying an AR-15 rifle on a public DC street. Prosecutors say they have 3 videos showing him doing it. A judge ruled he didn't pose a danger to the community and sent him home with a GPS monitor before trial. @wusa9

CHERRY BLOSSOM UPDATE: Japan to gift 250 cherry trees to D.C. to help replace those that are being ripped out this summer for construction work, Japan's prime minister announces at the White House. https://t.co/iw0RY4U7ro

It appears that the difference between what Oakland offered and what the A's wanted was about $35 million or so over three years.

Or about the same that the Angels are paying reliever Robert Stephenson.

Meanwhile, owners overseeing an industry worth many tens of billions of dollars stand by and watch their weakest franchise put on this cheap circus, and do nothing.

Incomprehensible. And a terrible business decision.

🚨BREAKING: Authorities in Georgia have found a person who voted illegally. It's the Vice Chairman of the Georgia GOP. https://t.co/OwI58iT5xV

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

That makes two high-profile cases in two weeks in which justices from across the ideological spectrum have been vexed by the weakness of the plaintiffs' claims for standing.

Both cases were filed in single-judge divisions in the Fifth Circuit.

That's ... not a coincidence.

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

1/10: For all of the focus on its substantive rulings, some of the Fifth Circuit's most indefensible behavior comes in technical, procedural contexts.

A recent example involves the Liberty Energy case, one of nine suits challenging the SEC's new investor climate-disclosure rule.

⚡️ People gathered outside the church where Navalny is being farewelled chanting "Love is stronger than fear" and "No to war"

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is trying to shut down a Catholic nonprofit organization in El Paso based on allegations that the group may be facilitating illegal immigration and harboring immigrants who entered the country illegally. https://t.co/TwvxYbd9Mt

Sort of an odd flex here considering that the only time Article V was invoked was after the 9/11 terror attacks against the US -- so NATO soldiers from other countries put up their lives for America.

BREAKING: Awful situation in Loudoun County. Firefighters on the scene of a reported gas leak on Silver Ridge Drive were caught in an explosion at 8:24 p.m. Multiple firefighters trapped in basement. Critical injuries reported. Multiple maydays declared by firefighters. @BillyGoldfeder #firefighters

Russians in Moscow are lining up to lay flowers in memory of Alexei Navalny at a memorial to Gulag victims outside the FSB headquarters.

Given the extent to which the Kremlin has suppressed all dissent since invading Ukraine, this is a not insignificant crowd.
