As Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche fired me for doing my job, then subjected me and my family to months of retaliation. My story is one of many reasons the Senate should not confirm Blanche again. Read and share my letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee. https://t.co/g8bFrhZ9Dg
The first opinion is in Monsanto v. Durnell. The court holds that the federal law governing pesticide labels bars a lawsuit against Monsanto, the maker of Roundup weedkiller, for failing to include a warning on the label about the risks of cancer.

The Texas screwworm story is a version of this. The Reflecting Pool fiasco is a version of this. The Iranian war is a very large and ongoing version of this.
Everywhere you look, incompetence is having its natural consequences, with more to come. Much more, I'm afraid.
The Southern District of New York is the office that prosecuted Trump on 34 felony counts. He is still appealing those convictions.
The lawyer he just named to run that office - James M. McDonald - is on the legal team handling that appeal.
McDonald is a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell. He is part of the team that last month secured the Justice Department's decision to drop a fraud and conspiracy case against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani - a case brought under the Biden administration and killed under this one.
SDNY has jurisdiction over terrorism, espionage, securities fraud, and public corruption. It is arguably the most consequential prosecutor's office in the country. Trump is now placing his personal defense attorney in charge of it.
Jay Clayton, who previously held the SDNY job, is being moved to director of national intelligence - a role that opened when Tulsi Gabbard resigned and that Trump briefly tried to fill with Bill Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, before congressional pressure forced a different choice.
The chain here is not complicated. The office that convicted him gets his lawyer. The intelligence community gets the man who ran the housing finance regulator. A personal attorney now controls a portfolio that includes public corruption cases.
This is what the completion of the project looks like.
When people in Washington lower their voices and say, “Please don’t use my name. I’m afraid he’ll come after my family’s livelihood,” it means something has broken. People no longer trust the law to protect them.
Dear @DAGToddBlanche: You will be disbarred. You will be investigated next year. And if the facts warrant it, you will be prosecuted by the next Administration.
November is coming.
TODAY: Flock Security camera torn down in Plainfield Township, MI.
People have begun ripping down these cameras across the country due to privacy concerns over mass surveillance.
Public backlash also intensified after third party audits revealed that FLOCK data was being shared with federal agencies including ICE.
MacFarlane: Nobody thinks this fund is dead and there is nobody, and I mean nobody. Laura, on capitol hill or elsewhere outside the Trump administration who thinks this thing's a good idea. There's no surrogate championing this fund, which means it's got political pressure surrounding it….
NEW from Chris Strohm: US officials are continuing with an agreement that bars the government from probing past tax filings from President Donald Trump and his businesses, according to a person familiar with the matter, while a plan to set up the "Anti-Weaponization Fund" is on hold

Smart. I remember when Trump’s lawyers said they were dropping their appeals on Trump’s executive orders against certain law firms. Then Trump changed his mind and changed course.
@MacFarlaneNews Wisconsin is too loyal to its politicians and resists change. Johnson is just another Trump sycophant who's lost whatever core beliefs he had.
There’s a disturbing trend in Congress to grant immunity from state civil lawsuits to various products such as pharmaceuticals, data centers & pesticides.
I think this violates the 7th Amdt, but ironically the 7th is the only enumerated right not yet incorporated to the states.
@Bkov9@SLIMSHAAAAAD Thanks for all your work at $RYM and $GTBIF! Your team operates in a world replete with inconsistencies and ambiguities and does at the top of tier 1. I'm confident the clarity 2026 brings will reward shareholders.
Trump literally trumped the law. No one is ever going to see Donald Trump get the justice he deserves for all of the crimes he's committed. Why? It's bad. It's REALLY fucking BAD. Listen:
