Also, must apologise for coming across sceptical + impatient. I am, but don't mean to appear rude, sorry. (Just re-read!)

Unless defendant-applicant Trump can convince full 2nd Circuit Court (en banc) to hear his request, the Carroll II case is finally concluded. Docket case has been ordered closed with ($5m) deposited funds transferred to plaintiffs’ attorneys (plus ~$800k interest). It’s done.

Admire his ebullience + enthusiasm. Clearly, Mr. Bessent knows nothing about the ⚖️Law if he believes (Tariff) Court rules against — then permits continuance. Worse, he assumes an ongoing money-making crime against American consumers is justifiable before @USSupremeCourt. Wow.
Bessent: If the tariff court rules against us, it will be enjoined and tariffs will likely continue. It will go to SCOTUS in October then we would expect a ruling in January. I think the more deals we've done, the more money coming in, it gets harder and harder for SCOTUS to rule against this

Maxwell has good argument re: covered by Epstein co-conspirator deal. Fortnight ago SG Sauer went to @USSupremeCourt for Cert. to DELAY her NY Appeal. Now DAG Blanche eager to see if she’ll wreck DJT before House ‘Ctee + if his client commutes/Pardons 20yr sentence for silence.

SG Sauer (rep. DJT) feared 2nd Circuit would grant Appeal + release Maxwell. Writes tell-all book/talks to worlds press/TV. Poss. ends Trump Presidency; paedo scandal brings down govt + kills trust in R’s for years. DAG Blanche running interference for DJT to prevent disaster:

Biden admin. couldn’t release Epstein Files as Maxwells’ appeal was still ongoing (sub-judice). Also, box-filled rooms of collated files + evidence aren’t normally publicly released by F.B.I. Now Trumps’ DoJ further delays Maxwells’ case/potential release via @USSupremeCourt:—

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help; someone who is hungry or thirsty; to toss out someone who is in need of my help... …If I say I am Christian, but do these things: I'm a hypocrite”. — Pope Francis
Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta.

NEWS Congressman Ritchie Torres’ office tells me that in response to the Oval Office meeting between President Trump and President @nayibbukele of El Salvador, Torres is introducing the “RESCUE Act.” Rescue: Repatriation of Expelled Sovereign Citizens and Unjustly Exiled Act Under the bill, if a U.S. court orders the return of someone wrongfully deported—whether a U.S. citizen, green card holder, or noncitizen who had lawful status at the time (including asylees, refugees, TPS holders, Special Immigrant Juveniles, Deferred Action recipients, or those with pending bona fide asylum or immigration cases)—and a foreign government refuses to comply, the United States is required to take action. The bill requires the U.S. to suspend diplomatic ties, foreign aid, and visas for that country’s government officials and their immediate family members until the person is returned to the United States.

I recall the President stating that he sought to end D.C. nepotism and Drain The Swamp. Martin & McCabe, legally speaking, *are* the Swamp. These jerks have no professionalism, dignity nor integrity in office. It’s Amateur Hour — they’ve been put there to shit on the carpets.
D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin has hired former One America News Network reporter Neil McCabe as the director of external affairs, per an email seen by Reuters. McCabe also previously worked as communications manager at Project Veritas

U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi, swore at her confirmation hearing before the Senate she would administer the law fairly and without bias. Top administrations’ Signal chat group *was* illegal — a felony. She’s now formally refused to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate.

Inability to retain/hire/attract any S-tier (or few A-tier) attorneys to Justice, hobbled the Departments’ (so far feeble) attempts to defend 100+ Injunctions, TRO’s and lawsuits against the Presidents’ cravenly unlawful EO’s. Firing 50%+ of DoJ’s lawyers made everything worse.

The ill-prepared, overwhelmed and overworked DoJ attorneys being sent, without a bat, to defend these cases are being eviscerated in court — drawing the ire of Judges everywhere. They can’t even state who’s in charge of DoGE. They cannot remotely hope to win at this rate.

Micro$oft bought Skype for $8.5B in 2011, yet did very little with it — except monetise it — then let it slide into decline. At one time, Skype was the biggest buzz in Tech — for its free VOIP voice and video calls. Now Microsloth are sundowning it. Goodnight forever, Skype.
Microsoft will shut down Skype on May 5, 2025, ending its 22-year run. Once a leader in video calls, Skype lost ground to Teams, Zoom, and WhatsApp. Users can switch to Teams, as Microsoft fully shifts its focus to modern collaboration tools. Read more 👇 bigbreakingwire.in/microsoft…

Trump riled up his MAGA cult against California fire captain calling her "DEI hire" — now she's been viciously murdered in her own home. Fire Captain Rebecca Marodi was found with multiple stab wounds that police say indicates a desperate fight for survival. She served 30 years with California Fire — including leading the fight against recent Los Angeles fires that MAGA Republicans scapegoat women firefighters for. Fire Captain Rebecca Marodi was planning to retire later this year. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

The suspect has been identified, is someone related to the victim and the case is currently being treated as a potential domestic violence incident. abc7.com/amp/post/suspe…
