Until today, when 419 food trucks entered Gaza.

Both numbers are still well below the minimum number necessary to avert disaster.

As several have pointed out, the most important part of the brief is the last part on pages 44-48, in which the SCO gives the court an "out" to rule that there is some immunity but still allow the trial to proceed without further delay. https://twitter.com/alegalnerd/status/177749032915303...

I wonder if it hurts or helps Donald Trump that he's taking criticism from the right. My tentative opinion is that it hurts him. He needs all of the fanatic believers to vote for him to win, and if they are not convinced that he is one of them, some might not. It is hard for me to imagine even mode...

Trump is going on a rampage against Lindsey Graham because Graham criticized his abortion statement.

The judge said that since the parties could not agree on a summary, he would write his own. I am quite sure that the D.A. is happier with it than the Trump team.

Meanwhile, Trump is making a last-ditch effort to get the appellate court to delay the trial. That will fail, I'm sure.

This is the case summary that Judge Merchan plans to give to prospective jurors: PeOPLE, V. DONALD TRUMP CASE SUMMARY 'The Defendant, Donald Trump, is charged with 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree. The allegations are in substance, that Donald Trump falsified business rec...

Ah, but what is normal? Like beauty, it is in the eyes of the beholder.

After arguing that a motion for recusal, although likely to fail ("this is all very depressing for people that want to see Trump held to account, but I'm just explaining how the world is; not how it should be") is probably Jack Smith's next move, Lee Kovarsky then endorsed an alternative ...

Just a trivia note: the epicenter of today's earthquake in New Jersey was less than five miles from there.
