🔥🔥🔥THREADETTE: Yesterday something struck me as "off," but I only now had a chance now to relisten to the testimony to confirm. Check the 5:43:38 point from @RobGouveiaEsq video below & note Fani Willis volunteering she did NOT go to college with Robin Yeartie. Why would Fani make that point in response to a question of whether she knew Yeartie? 1/
2/ ...because Yeartie testified she met Willis when she was in college. (1:00:00 mark). Note Yeartie didn't say she went to college with Willis, just that they met when she Yeartie was in college. Willis making a point that they didn't go to college together only
3/ makes sense if Willis heard Yeartie's testimony. And note at 5:37:34 point Willis never said she didn't listen to anyone's testimony, only that I told you I was in my office pacing."
4/4 Think about it logically: Someone asks you do you know a person? What do you say, "yes." You don't say "yes, but they didn't go to Notre Dame, they went to Saint Mary's."
Post Script: And how in the hell could Willis have heard some of the argument but not any of the testimony? Willis volunteered she heard the argument because she wanted to say that the lawyer lied.

THREADETTE: There were several telling exchanges during yesterday's SCOTUS argument in Trump v. Slaughter, but the one that struck me most was the final exchange between Justice Jackson & Slaughter's attorney. Read the full exchange below. 1/Image

2/ The problem is fundamental! Article I of the Constitution vests in CONGRESS the power to legislate--not unelected bureaucrats! And this ties into a second point: Jackson, Kagan, & Sotomayor all stressed Congress's "reliance interests" in creating "independent" agencies
3/ with the threesome arguing Congress relied limits on President's removal authority in granting agency regulatory authority. Well, there is a much bigger reliance interest at stake!

😡😡😡ABSOLUTELY. DISGUSTING! So-called "Republican" Dan Schaetzle is smearing my brother Jamie O'Brien, who is huge MAGA (might that be why?). While a local story, Schaetzle's behavior should be make him anathema in not just politics but polite society! 1/
/2 Also shame on @16NewsNow for pushing Schaetzle's preferred narrative that it is about my brother when more accurately Schaetzle is claiming the County never should have sought pension for ANY County Council attorneys most (all?) of whom were Dems before my brother. Image
@16NewsNow 3/ Here's the backdrop on Slimy Schaetzle's plot with details from Amy Drake. Image

Holy CRAP! A district court judge entered an injunction that allowed the states that had processed 100% of SNAP without authorization to keep the money! Trump is still seeking stay of lower court's order to fund SNAP with school lunch money. 1/ Image

OMgosh. This judge is BONKERS! 1/ Image

2/ Here's argument: Trump Administration can't "fix" state's incompetence or its system of distributing money. And it is ridiculous to say it is arbitrary and capricious to keep money for kids food for kids food. Image
3/ How in the hell does this judge think he has the authority to force the administration to take money from another program to pay SNAP benefits? Image
