Speaking of broken links, it appears the link below to a Nov. 7 opinion column for TownHall.com that @RepAndyBiggsAZ wrote entitled "The Only Way Forward to Fight," is no longer available on the lawmaker's Facebook page. It was in March. facebook.com/RepAndyBiggs/p…
During my time in Texas when evangelicals learned of my half Jew status, they would so very often treat me like I was a prize to win over to their side. It was horrible and I hated it.
I've got a story on the @January6thCmte's contempt report for Jeffrey Clark coming up. The committee meets at 7PM ET tonight to vote on this report before eventually sending it to the House Rules Cmte for mark up. Its final destination will be a full vote in the House.
The very fine comms teams for this committee has posted all manner of exhibits relating to Clark's contempt report on its website including the full transcript of Clark's deposition. If you want to peruse those records, they are available here: january6th.house.gov/legislation/bu…

Jurors will soon begin deliberating the Ahmaud Arbery case as the prosecution today delivers its final rebuttal to the defense. Yesterday was an ugly day for the Arbery family after defense painted him as a criminal, not a victim.

We are barely a half hour into this and again, the defense attorney has requested a mistrial. This time regarding a grievance over a definition by prosecution of a citizen's arrest.
Judge Tim Walmsley seems slightly exasperated by the request since at an earlier conference he agreed to provide jurors with the legal definition that they could reference. Defense says that prosecution is making misstatements of the law and that this is improper.
Just now, defense Kevin Gough calls again for mistrial in Arbery case. Saying protesters are intimidating the defendants by driving around the courthouse today with coffins displaying the defendant's names. "This is not a figurative mob, but a literal mob," Gough says.
Prosecutors say if the jurors would have seen it, that would be one thing. But jurors are not seeing this and that a request for mistrial should not be granted.
In case you missed it in the other thread, the judge denied the request from defense for a mistrial because of protesters outside the courthouse. Defense atty Kevin Gough called the protesters "Black Panthers or something"
