The claim from Meadows book is that Trump took a rapid test on 9/26/20 and received a positive result shortly after the WH super spreader event with Barrett, then took a Binax test that came back negative, then went to the debate without apparently being tested again. …
Like the president gets these two conflicting rapid test results and then they never do a PCR… idk I don’t really buy that as the whole story.

This is also clearly a lie, passed along uncritically.
The President can be reached on Marine One by his chief of staff and so can the secret service and the pilots. If it’s not safe for him to proceed to his destination, Marine One can simply not take off or, if already airborne, turn around. Air Force One, same.

I’ve been watching this car restoration reality show out of Canada, and I’ve realized I have utterly no understanding of what goes on up there.
In the last episode I saw, the proprietor of a competing shop literally yells at the main guy of the featured shop for hiring one of his people w/o calling him beforehand. To make up for this transgression, the guys go over and help that competitor finish a job he outbid them for
It’s like antitrust laws, business sense, and maybe the laws of gravity don’t exist

Political reporters are losing their goddamn minds and I’m here for it.
I think maybe they don’t realize it’s a rental property? Like they think the president is getting a massive bribe from this guy and they’re the only ones who care. idk
But anyway, the President renting a the chairman of the Kennedy Center’s place for a holiday wknd on Nantucket is totally comparable to the President using the powers of his office to benefit the scammy real estate business he still de facto runs while in office. Go with that.

JP Morgan sues Tesla for breach of contract related to Elon Musk's tweets, seeking to recover "over $162 million immediately due and payable."
Here's a copy of the complaint--the basic story seems to be that JPM exercised a contractual right to reduce the strike price on some warrants it owned after Musk's fraudulent 'going-private at $420' tweet, and Tesla disputes the validity of that move. documentcloud.org/documents/2110…
Manafort prosecutor Greg Andres--who's now in private practice at Davis Polk--is JPM's lead counsel in the lawsuit.

While the delay will irk people, Millett, Wilkins, and Jackson is a way better panel for the Select Committee than the Tatel, Rao, and Walker hydra that some folks were tentatively forecasting.
Millett - Obama
Wilkins - Obama
Jackson - Biden

vs

Tatel - Clinton
Rao - Trump
Walker - Trump
Moreover, imo, folks should prepare themselves that whatever happens in the Circuit, it's headed for the shadow docket at least.
