Sitting in a nearly empty immigration court on Tuesday, the judge called the next case. In walks a 4-year-old Honduran girl, her hair in a dozen braids each with a black bow. She refused to sit in the chair. She preferred to sit next to me in the back. 1/x

Igor Mangushev, 36, is a captain in the Russian army who goes by the callsign “Bereg.” He boasts reputed links not only to neo-Nazi groups, but also to the notoriously vicious private mercenary group Wagner and its founder-fiancier, Yevgeny Prigozhin. trib.al/CJBz7as

Adding blockchain or biometrics to guns is an unbelievably stupid idea that will never catch on. The only people suggesting this are those woefully unfamiliar with firearms.

After talking to a source, I gave Alina Habba a ring too. She tells me she's currently in FL with Trump and is very much still on the Carroll case. Note, btw, that I've written critically about her in the past.

This article by

Now we know why Trump hired an AG insider. This just became theatrical. Morian says he worked these same kinds of cases until 2019. AG can't keep asking for sanctions at every turn. "I would implore you to reconsider that approach, because it's not a good look for OUR OFFICE."

... interesting. Kise seems to hint at what trial would look like. "No entities called the 'Trump Organization' are actually a party to any of those transactions." Their play here seems to be that Trump used a zillion LLCs, and the AG can't go after the firm at the top.
