Missed the six (!) hour hearing?

Here's a recap:

"A Federal Judge Holds 'Kraken' Lawyers' Feet to the Fire at Sanctions Hearing. Lin Wood Tried to Distance Himself from It All." lawandcrime.com/2020-election/… via @lawcrimenews
For what it's worth, I'm seeing folks claiming that Haller was crying, or asking about whether she did. She sounded nervous and perhaps awkward, with a shaky voice.

More than that? I didn't see or hear it.
As a caveat:

While I listened to the proceedings in full, my eyes weren't entirely fixed upon the screen throughout the entire six-hour ordeal.
Simply noting for those asking.

BREAKING: Trump admin must process education grants "without delay"

A federal judge preserved his ability to enforce the ruling even if the Senate passes a budget bill restraining his contempt power. @AllRiseNews allrisenews.com/p/linda-mcmaho…
A quick thread on this:

This is the first time I personally have seen a court proactively address the possibility of Congress restraining the enforcement power of the federal judiciary.

(There are a lot of cases out there, and perhaps it's come up elsewhere.)
Here's how it went down:

Assistant NYAG Andrew Amer brought up the restraints on contempt power included in the budget bill toward the end of the hearing.

This is the language. See the highlighted clause? No court of the United States may enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c), whether issued prior to, on, or subsequent to the date of enactment of this section.

Scott Mescudi, a.k.a. Kid Cudi, takes the stand in the case against Sean Combs.

He's wearing a leather jacket on this rainy Thursday, and his testimony has just begun.
Mescudi says that Combs broke into his house, spooking his dog so much that he was "very jittery, kind of like on edge all the time."

When Combs tried to contact him later, he said: "I told him, 'No, you broke into my house. You messed with my dog. I don’t want to talk to you.'"
Exchange with the prosecutor:

Q: Was there a time that you learned that your car had caught fire?
A: Yes.

As the afternoon session begins, witness testimony in the Sean Combs trial begins with Israel Flores, an LAPD officer who was a guard with Securitas in 2016.

On March 5, 2016, Flores worked at the InterContinental Hotel when there was an "incident" on the 6th floor.
Flores describes going up the elevator to the 6th floor and seeing Combs in "a towel and some colored socks" and Cassie "in the corner, like covering her face."

Q: "How did you recognize Mr. Combs?"
A: "He's like a rapper, producer."
Flores identifies photos of Combs and Cassie.

Though he recognized Combs immediately, Flores says he didn't recognize Cassie immediately.
