Running a small independent news site covering the courts, I'm stuck by how many stories bigger news orgs missed. For example, a pro se litigant in Oregon filed a lawsuit to stop the production of a U.S. mint 24 carat Trump commemorative coin. He convinced a judge yesterday.

@CalltoActivism @makeitsew3 Maybe he finally had a line placed.

Here's the chair of the Independent Women’s Forum, the right-wing group where Lyndsey Fifield is a fellow, bragging about helping draft Susan Collins's remarks when she voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh.

Fifield is NYT's main source, and the only one alleging anything physical.

“Ladies for Kavanaugh” lmao the quicksand is getting deeper by the minute for the Heritage Foundation woman.

[Joe Wrote @joewrote]

@AaronRegunberg People are missing the Times' admission that they read all her texts and messages from this time, and they found no corroboration. They even read her diary. Nothing. All they found was a text saying she wanted to campaign for Collins.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Collins casting her 10,000th vote at the same time Platner is on MS NOW defending himself from these new allegations is the perfect side-by-side of the choice in that election.

Yeesh.

I bet you didn’t know that Justice Gorsuch cousin sold an acre of land to Russian Oligarch Vladislav Doronin 2022 for $10 million. The same Doronin that the Kushner Albania Island is attached to.

ICE cause car crash during high speed chase—at school bus stop.

Driver crashes on top of fence post—that gets stuck in his chest.

Firefighters cut the pole and rush him to hospital still impaled.

"Why was ICE chasing through our neighborhood with all our kids outside?" cried homeowner.

"It's insane to me—this is not supposed to he happening in our residential communities."

Local reporters confirmed they saw 3 or 4 school buses drive right past the accident site—with even more kids riding bicycles down the street.

Multiple neighbors stated that ICE agents were involved in the pursuit—and saw dozens of agents in green vests marked "ERO."

Local police have explicitly said they were not involved in any way.

The 30-year-old driver is currently listed in critical condition.

Firefighters cut the metal fence post but left a section in his upper right chest—so they could transport him and safely remove it in the emergency room.

Incident occurred near the intersection of Warwick Street and Whitlock Avenue on the west side of Detroit, Michigan.

The Revolt Inside 60 Minutes Just Got Worse.

Legendary correspondent Steve Kroft is now accusing CBS leadership of "journalistic interference."

His verdict?

"It was a slap in the face to everybody who has worked there."

Notice the pattern.

Scott Pelley says he was stonewalled.

Sharon Alfonsi says Pelley was fired for asking questions.

Now Steve Kroft says management is interfering with journalism.

At some point, this stops looking like a personnel dispute.

And starts looking like a newsroom rebellion.

More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion, according to a report from a government watchdog group. https://t.co/wEAqxMA7AG

D-Day Minus 1 has begun in England. Ike is feeling the pressure like no other can. These are the most stressful hours of his life. A journalist notes he is "bowed down with worry...as though each of the four stars on either shoulder weighed a ton." He has a constant ringing in his right ear. Almost frantic with nervous exhaustion, he lights cigarette after cigarette, some 60 filterless a day. He has a palsy in his hand from signing so many orders. The fate of the free world rests with him and him alone. See more at https://t.co/91MLInspp6

Anyone think it’s odd that every event is just a bunch of sycophants standing behind an immobile president pretending it’s normal?

The administration saved pennies with its Doge lunacy and other public health cuts. Now we will lose lives and billions fighting Ebola, measles and screwworm, and consumers will pay more for beef. #SelfInflictedWounds

So he has completely DESTROYED the South lawn of the White House and has KILLED old growth trees.

TRUMP DOESN'T OWN THE WHITE HOUSE he should not be ALLOWED to do this or else he should USE HIS OWN MONEY TO RESTORE IT !

On the night of April 28, 1944, more American soldiers were killed rehearsing for D-Day than were killed storming Utah Beach on D-Day itself. It happened in secret, and the survivors were ordered to take it to their graves. Most did.

Six weeks before the real invasion, the US Army staged a full dress rehearsal at Slapton Sands in Devon, a beach chosen because it looked almost exactly like the Normandy shore codenamed Utah. Eisenhower wanted it realistic, so they used live ammunition. That decision killed men before the enemy even arrived, when timing went wrong and incoming troops were shelled by their own naval guns on the sand. But the worst was still hours away.

Just after midnight, a convoy of eight tank landing ships, packed with men, trucks and fuel, was crawling across Lyme Bay in a long slow line. Out in the dark, nine German E-boats had slipped in from Cherbourg, and they could not believe what they were seeing. The convoy was nearly defenseless. One escort ship had been damaged in a collision and sent to port, never replaced. Worse, a typo had put the landing ships and their lone escort on different radio frequencies, so the warnings that could have saved them were broadcast to no one.

The E-boats opened fire. One ship burst into flames, another was hit and went under in about six minutes, taking hundreds down with her. Men poured into water barely above freezing. Then the cruelest detail: they had been issued life belts but never trained to wear them, so many strapped them around the waist instead of under the arms. When they jumped, the weight of their packs flipped them face-down, and the belts held them there. Hundreds drowned upside down in their own life jackets.

By dawn, around 749 Americans were dead, more than would die taking the actual beach on June 6. And the generals had a problem bigger than the bodies. Ten of the officers aboard held BIGOT clearance and knew the time and place of the entire invasion. If even one had been pulled alive from the sea by the Germans, D-Day would have had to be cancelled. Frantic teams searched the water for all ten. Every body was recovered. The secret held.

So the whole thing was buried. Bodies quietly interred, paperwork sealed, survivors warned that talking meant court martial. The records were not declassified until 1974. For decades these men had no monument and no mention. They died twice, once in the water and once in the silence that followed.

It was called Exercise Tiger. Now you know.
