A defense attorney for the men accused of killing Ahmaud Arbery is currently objecting to Al Sharpton’s presence in the court room, saying it’s intimidating. “We don’t want any more black pastors in here,” he just said.
The judge isn’t having it. “I don’t hear a motion, and I can tell you this: I’m not going to start blanketly excluding members of the public from this courtroom.”
You can watch the trial live here. The jury is back in now, currently watching a video of deposition testimony. pbs.org/newshour/natio…

I’m sure Caro deserves to be busted on some details like any author of a monumental work, but in decency we can’t let the meatheads at the Washington Post Fact Checker desk do it.
Jones Beach was, at its inception circa 1930, a little model of a totalitarian state.
Legions of state police were stationed out there to make sure you didn’t bring your dog or play games involving balls. Guards in towers peered through binoculars at the parking lots to make sure you didn’t change into a bathing suit in your car. In the ‘50s, Moses explained why.

Judge Chutkan's opinion is now actually out, and Trump did indeed lose this round of his quest for an injunction.
Trump, the judge writes at the end of her 39 page opinion, "is unlikely to succeed on the merits of his claims or suffer irreparable harm, and...a balance of the equities and public interest bear against granting his requested relief."
From the public interest section of the opinion:

Glenn Miller, tax attorney at Katten, placed an article in Quillette last September (quillette.com/2020/09/23/ral…), donated to Bob McDonnell in 2009 and Mitt Romney in 2012, even a GOP AG in WV. He threw a few hundred bucks to BdB in 2016, but nothing on record for Hillary or Biden.
Why do we have to do Jeremy Peters’ fuckin job for him, and why don’t we get paid for it?
Imagine accepting a quote on not wanting to be embarrassed from someone who publishes in Quillette. Image

It’s always fascinating to me when one of these guys reveals the highly specific evidentiary standard they’ve quietly been using to justify the complete lack of accountability their friends are presiding over.
Let’s say they didn’t plan the violence inside the Capitol blow by blow; they just assembled and riled up a mob, put them on the march to the Hill, and when it turned into the fight their speeches called for, either took no action or restrained efforts to lift the siege. No case?
This sort of thing happened in the Russia case too. It became entirely about cloak and dagger collusion, and the allure and difficulty of proving that scenario subsumed everything else that was right in front of our eyes — like a president welcoming an attack on the United States
