Krasner is winning 2-to-1 in the first batches of both mail & in-person ballots. Obviously not enough to tell us much, but it is an initial sign that early & day-of voting mightn’t be as divergent in this race as in the presidential.
If this stands, we’re also headed to a blowout — and yet another sign that a lot of folks at the national level (writing end-times stories) really don’t have a good handle on how much thinking is changing around public safety and criminal justice on the ground across the country.
I mentioned this last weekend, fwiw, when the Inquirer endorsed Krasner. —>
Yeah. We’re still at a nearly 2-to-1 race for Krasner.
I wonder how many journalists who wrote an “omg are progressive prosecutors done for” piece are going to follow up with a second piece explaining why the voters told them they were so wrong.
Larry Krasner is closing in on a 65-35 race. He won; I’m just enjoying watching the updates now.

Raise your hand if Guy Pearce aging is a personal attack on your understanding of the world.
I mean.
I still love him, don’t get me wrong. I just can handle it better if I think of them as two totally different people. 🙃

This is a majority opinion by Judge Brasher limiting application of the First Step Act. The 11th Circuit ruling conflicts with every other appellate ruling — including ones from the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th circuits, per Berman.
Brasher is a 39-year-old former Alabama SG who was nominated to the 11th Circuit by Trump six months after he started work as a district court judge.
He was joined in the majority opinion by Judge Luck, a 42-year-old Trump appointee.

The dissent was from Judge Martin, a 65-year-old Obama appointee who was one of his first five appellate court nominees in 2009.

A very interesting "Proclamation on Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week, 2021" from Biden: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
From the start, Biden acknowledges that police are being tasked with many jobs today, including "responding to incidents involving domestic violence, substance use disorders, mental health challenges, and homelessness."
Then, there's a bit that might track closer to an old-school Biden speech on cops.

So, unless I read this wrong, some timing elements here are left out or left intentionally vague:
* The story addresses "toll records ... from April 15, 2017 to July 31, 2017"

* ... "obtained" by the "Trump Justice Department."

* Reporters informed of this in a May 3 letter signed by current DOJ officials (ie, Biden DOJ).

When were they sought? When obtained? Unclear:
Does "it" mean they were sought in 2020? Obtained in 2020? Both?

The story also leaves unclear whether whichever of those it was (were?) happened under Barr, or after, under Rosen?

Today at the 9th Circuit, @chasestrangio will be arguing in the Idaho anti-trans sports ban case, Hecox v. Little. The plaintiffs won an injunction below.

The judges are currently on the 2nd of 4 arguments. Hecox is the 4th. You can watch it here: ca9.uscourts.gov/media/view_vid…
They're starting on the third case now, which, given the time allotted, means the Hecox arguments should be beginning around 5:15p ET/2:15p PT.
The Hecox v. Little arguments are beginning now: ca9.uscourts.gov/media/view_vid…
