Britney Spears is petitioning the court to remove her father as conservator of her estate and replace him with Jason Rubin.

The petition to remove James Spears isn't up on the court's docket yet (it may be sealed), but it's mentioned in her petition for Rubin's appointment.
"It is an objectively intelligent preference to nominate a highly qualified, professional fiduciary in this circumstance. Moreover, ... given ... that Ms. Spears has sufficient capacity to choose her own legal counsel, she likewise has sufficient capacity to make this nomination"
Here's that successor petition, which includes an end of 2019 balance sheet for the estate.
It's an interesting move by Spears and Rosengart to go directly at Jamie Spears' position first, rather than seeking to simply terminate the conservatorship. documentcloud.org/documents/2101…
TMZ—naturally—appears to have been the first to report on the petition to remove, which they've seen, though it's still not on the public docket and they haven't posted a copy. tmz.com/2021/07/26/bri…

It’s a communications challenge bc you have to get across several nuanced concepts: The distinction between breakthrough infections and severe disease, the still-not-fully-understood potential of breakthrough infections to fuel community spread, and the risk to the unvaccinated.
I thought this interviewee did a pretty good job of it. statnews.com/2021/07/23/how…

Two years before Tom Barrack and Matthew Grimes were indicted, the government charged their Emirati associate under 18 USC 951. Unfortunately for prosecutors, he'd already fled the country, but his newly unsealed complaint contains new details about Barrack's alleged scheme.
I wrote up a summary of some new details in the 2019 complaint here, which I hope you'll read. nycsouthpaw.com/p/document-bar…
And here's the complaint itself documentcloud.org/documents/2101…

Tom Barrack’s bail hearing is starting now. His codefendant Grimes was just released on an agreed bail package.
The court says it has received an agreed bail package for Barrack too. Sounds like he will be getting out today.
Full name: Matthew Grimes, 27

You jokesters.

I consider myself something of a connoisseur of pre-conference call hold music, and the LA court that will hold Barrack’s bail hearing today has the worst I’ve ever encountered.
It loops abruptly maybe every twenty-five seconds as though something is going to happen and then after five minutes dumps you off the line and makes you dial back in. Abusive.
EDNY has now given me the right info. Sigh. Joining in the middle of things- They’re reading out a set of detailed release conditions for Barrack’s codependent Grimes, which EDNY says it has agreed to and the court is approving. We’ll see if Barrack gets the same deal.

This interview is clarifying, and a little infuriating. It's the best explanation I've seen for why the public health messaging has seemed so flummoxed. statnews.com/2021/07/23/how…
On putting the masks back on indoors
For people who have been vaccinated, probably the most important question right now is whether and how likely it is that a breakthrough infection they contract could spread to someone in their life who hasn't been vaccinated, like a young child or grandchild...
