It bears repeating every time MyPillow-man Mike Lindell enters the news cycle for his election nonsense.

His company settled two separate suits by California regulators for peddling bogus scientific studies.

Now, he’s positioning himself as a scientific authority, again.
One of the MyPillow’s “Clinical Sleep Study” ads that California regulators called complete, misleading BS and false advertising.

Now, Lindell claims science backs his election theories.
Per California regulators, MyPillow pulled the same stunt twice within three years, even after getting sued for it the first time.
The fact that California regulators have repeatedly said you cannot trust this man to cite science to market his pillows honestly—and he folded both both times.

—seems relevant to the question about people trusting his pseudoscience about the apparatus supporting U.S. democracy.

Giving Marjorie Taylor Greene a run for her money in the deplorable-historical-comparison department:

The ever-understated St. Louis attorney Al Watkins likens "QAnon Shaman" Jacob Chansley's detention to the Russian gulags and the "Khmer Ruge" (sic)
To be fair, Watkins spelled Khmer Rouge right in the legal brief itself.

—But that's hardly the point.
After invoking Solzhenitsyn for good measure, Watkins writes:

"The former President blanketly referred to those who appeared at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 as “special.” Chansley is indeed special. The Government knows Chansley is special."

An “Objections” exclusive:

On the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, a Minneapolis mom breaks her silence about her then-12-year-old autistic child’s brush with Derek Chauvin

—Months before Chauvin allegedly brutalized a 14-year-old.

Listen/Subscribe art19.com/shows/objectio…
The mother, Amy Coughlin, steps forward for the first time about how Chauvin responded to a call about her kid’s mental health crisis.

"I felt afraid for my life, and certainly for my kid's life at that moment,” she told me.

Story, @LawCrimeNews: lawandcrime.com/exclusive/an-o…
On the night of Jan. 16, 2017, Coughlin needed help.

Instead, she says, she got Chauvin.

She gave us permission to publish the police report and “blue card”—both written by Chauvin—documenting the encounter.

Four months in, my @lawcrimenews podcast "Objections" ran its 16th episode.

The show has featured interviews with Congress members, prominent lawyers, and other newsmakers. We've broken international news and risen in Apple Charts.

The series so far, with more to come.

The debut episode featured never-before-heard audio tapes of Lin Wood and his former law partners, exclusively obtained from their acrimonious litigation.

The tapes shed light on the pro-Trump lawyer before his post-election conspiracy theories. lawandcrime.com/high-profile/t…
During the same debut, ex-Oklahoma City bombing prosecutor Aitan Goelman spoke about pursuing that case with Merrick Garland, in an interview from well before the now-AG’s confirmation hearings renewed attention to that history.

New:

Rudy Giuliani's lawyers ask a federal judge unseal affidavits supporting his search warrant.

They say the implication Giuliani "might destroy evidence or intimidation" is "false," "strains credulity" and is "extremely damaging" to his rep.

ICYMI lawandcrime.com/high-profile/c… Image
This is the part of their just-released legal brief asking for those affidavits to be unsealed.

Story soon, @lawcrimenews Image

"Mississippi Supreme Court Overturns Legal Marijuana Amendment—and Voids State Ballot Initiatives Entirely in the Process"

@LambeJerry reports on a ruling the dissent notes invites "absurdity." lawandcrime.com/high-profile/m… via @lawcrimenews
One of the dissents states that the majority "judicially kills Mississippi’s citizen initiative process."

The majority found the state constitution authorizing ballot initiatives requires five congressional districts.

Since the 2000 Census, that's not possible.
The retroactive consequences of the ruling are unclear, but various outlets are reporting that other ballot initiatives are now in jeopardy.
