BREAKING: CV’s City Attorney Marco Verdugo quietly hired his former boss, ex-SD City Attorney Mara Elliott in Sept, but kept it secret from staff & even elected officials, referring to her as “ME” or “outside counsel.” Elliott works from home.

@theallinpod @UnderSecPD @Jason @DavidSacks And it’s rather hypocritical for her to accuse Euro authorities of going door to door to police speech when ICE is going door to door without judicial warrants. You guys have really lost a lot of cred by going easy on the DJT admin now that you’re in the club.

@theallinpod @UnderSecPD @Jason @DavidSacks Why do you allow people like her to misrepresent facts without pushback? She said Lucy Connolly was sent to jail for “tweeting something anti-immigration.” Not quite. BBC says she urged her X followers to “set fire” to hotels housing asylum seekers.

.@keithellison @AGEllison: When are you gonna prosecute the ICE criminals in your state? File state charges, let the ICE thugs remove to federal court, and then prove that they acted outside the scope of their federal authority. Make the feds prove their thugs are not guilty.

@RepScottPeters Have you introduced any legislation to address this crisis? If so, please provide a list and link. If not, why not?

.@SpeakerJohnson @RepJeffries @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer: What are you and your colleagues doing to rein in out-of-control @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and his armed thugs at @ICEgov? You are abdicating your oaths to uphold the constitution. Do your jobs or resign.

@USAttyEssayli You are insane and yet another DJT-lawyer disgrace to the profession and our constitution.

[Cory Briggs @CoryBriggs]

.@POTUS: You and the criminals with badges you’ve amassed in Minneapolis, the ones too cowardly to show their faces but willing to kill non-violent observers/protesters, deserve to rot in hell. This behavior is despicable and unAmerican. Wanna arrest me for speaking my mind?

Update: Court of Appeal just denied @portofsandiego’s request to keep investigation records of former CEO secret. Transparency wins.

Looks like this year we can all celebrate a ninth night of Hanukkah. The taxpayers will enjoy at least one holiday miracle, no thanks to @MayorToddGloria.

I won’t fly @AmericanAir again. After our flight left late and we waited 30 minutes in takeoff queue, as we were two planes away from takeoff, our plane pull out of line and crew said we were canceled b/c their “duty day expired.” All they said is “sorry for any inconvenience.”

Dear @AGPamBondi: Do you really think you can prosecute hate speech? If you actually said what this article claims you said, you are an embarrassment to the legal profession and have no business serving as AG. https://t.co/fwm5NwCeoc

@echo5juliet Not an expert, but as I understand it in NY 2nd-degree murder is the default crime for premeditated murder and that 1st-degree murder requires an enhancement, none of which applied here. So I think NY’s terminology is misleading to non-NY lawyers.

@JonahDispatch: I just listened to today’s “Ruminant” episode on “They.” It’s another great example of why I became a Dispatch subscriber years ago. Even though our policy views often differ, I greatly appreciate and respect your consistently principled approach. Thank you.

@JBONAMASSA @TheWho I nearly teared up last night when you said playing w/ Clapton & opening 4 The Who would be your greatest musical memories; it was so heartfelt. But then you closed w/ such an emotional version of Mountain Time that I was brought to tears. Thanks for that incredible performance.
