Alright, I think I have figured out what happened regarding Wednesday's Karen Read and John O'Keefe Proctorgate hearing.

On 6/8/26 at 2:22PM ET, the Clerk uploaded the original motion to impound document to MassCourts without the court's stamp which, in turn, led Judge Gildea to think it was not a publicly filed document.

At 2:46PM ET on that day, Kyle Sharkey (@KyleSharkey8) posted the document because he monitors the MassCourts docket, by hand, closer than anyone else in the world.

At 2:52PM ET I reposed Kyle's post, and included screenshots of the document that was uploaded by the Clerk to MassCourts at 2:22PM ET.

The document (paper 116) was eventually updated by the Clerk on MassCourts (at a time unknown), in the same form as it was originally uploaded, with the court's stamp (where it remains publicly accessible to this day).

Mystery solved.

Hey there @NEWSMAX any updates to this?

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

It seems there is an entirely different set of rules for Republicans and Democrats.

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

@brianstelter So you & your CNN colleague are happy to call out Dems on their rhetoric, but Trump gets the “that’s just who he is” pass?

[Cicero T Jones @CiceroTJones]

@brianstelter Sure. No reason not to normalize it, then. We could take it further. "He grabs pussies. That's who he is. That's what he does."

@ScottJenningsKY @kaitlancollins “Confirmed dead” or sloppy reporting?

@SteveTempleton Steve has sleeves partially rolled up. Take him seriously.

Melania said she met her husband at a New York City party in 1998.

Just to be clear, she actually met Marla Maples’ husband at a New York City party in 1998.

Dawn Staley on UCLA coach Cori Close: "Although we didn’t win, I can swallow it because we lost to a really good human being and a good team that represents women’s basketball well."

SCOOP: New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie w/ the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it.

Looks to me like the X algo, for some reason, doesn't like this story. So if you see it, share it widely.

I have the best legal team in the world. Brilliant lawyers & the kindest of souls. #lucky

My statement: 
“Today, the U.S. Supreme Court stood up for the rule of law and Americans everywhere. Its message was simple: Presidents are powerful, but our Constitution is more powerful still. In America, only Congress can impose taxes on the American people.  

The US Supreme Court gave us everything we asked for in our legal case. Everything.

I’m grateful for the leadership of the Liberty Justice Center, and in particular for the brilliant advocacy by its chair, Sara Albrecht, who led the fight when others wouldn’t and was dauntless in its defense of our constitutional order. I'm also grateful to the five small business owners who stood up against these unjust, unconstitutional taxes. By taking a stand, they have delivered crucial relief to tens of thousands of businesses and millions of consumers across the country.  

Finally, I lack the words to properly thank my brilliant Milbank team, especially Colleen Roh Sinzdak and Sami Ilagan, who worked with me day and night for many months to craft the winning argument.  

This case has always been about the presidency, not any one president. It has always been about separation of powers, and not the politics of the moment. I'm gratified to see our Supreme Court, which has been the bedrock of our government for 250 years, protect our most fundamental values.

Nice private event, Senator.

Question: Why haven’t you had a town hall with Mainers in over 26 years?

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Well, my fellow Maine voters. Here is Susan Collins today paying tribute to her boss while holding her MAGA hat.
