Deep dive: Two years in, Trump's new judges are everything conservatives hoped for, and liberals feared buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The Trump administration in two years has gotten 30 judges confirmed to federal appeals courts. That's how many appeals judges Obama got confirmed in his entire first term. Who these judges are, and what they've done so far: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Judges confirmed under Trump to date have already staked out strong stances on guns, abortion, political speech, agency power, and other issues that were at the heart of fights over their nominations. Conservatives are thrilled. Liberals, not so much buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

Remember how a judge slammed the lawyer repping Concord Management in the Mueller Russian troll farm case on Monday (see: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…) and then had a brief sealed proceeding. The transcript has been unsealed, here's what went down:
The judge said in open court that she was sealing the room to talk about Concord's motion to compel discovery re: how Mueller's office got info that Concord said was confidential. The govt had asked to respond under seal, saying they'd need to discuss a pending grand jury matter
After the courtroom was closed (and we were all kicked out), Judge Friedrich started to ask Concord's lawyer Eric Dubelier a question, but he said he wasn't prepared for a motion hearing, and also needed to talk to his client about the judge's criticism of his conduct

Hello on this mild morning from the DC Council, which is scheduled to vote today on the LOVE Act -- emergency legislation that would make it possible for couples to get a DC marriage license during the federal govt shutdown (background: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…)
At the DC Council this a.m. waiting for a vote on the LOVE Act, and listening to Councilmember Grosso intro a bill to legalize and regulate sales of marijuana. "This council should be unapologetic in pursuing what is best for our constituents." Background: dcist.com/story/19/01/07…
The LOVE Act is up — this emergency legislation will make it possible for couples to get a marriage license in DC during the govt shutdown. It's being introduced by Councilmember Brandon Todd at the request of DC Mayor Muriel Bowser

NEW: The federal judiciary now expects to have enough money from other sources to keep the courts largely business-as-usual during the shutdown through Jan. 18 (previously it was Jan. 11) — this is the latest from the Administrative Office of the US Courts (HT @hsu_spencer)
In order to make the funds that the judiciary does have (absent a congressional appropriation) last as long as possible, "courts have been asked to delay or defer non-mission critical expenses, such as new hires, non-case related travel, and certain contracts"
DOJ, of course, is already affected by the shutdown, so most judges have been approving requests or issuing blanket orders to delay civil litigation involving the federal govt during the shutodwn (criminal cases still have to proceed as usual)

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.
