    Massive fan festival, what a complete dis

    Now official: DC and Baltimore have merged their 2026 World Cup venue bids. If the bid is selected by FIFA, Baltimore would host matches and DC would stage a massive fan festival on National Mall. (DC's hopes of being selected on its own had dimmed because of FedEx Field.)

    It’s absolutely news that the prosecutor, Jonathan Roth, is dropping out given the fact that the trial ended in two acquittals and two hung juries and b/c the govt intends to try the case again. But why overstate that news? Why try to make more of it than the facts bear out?

    The temptation to overstate and exaggerate news that is already relevant w/o extra juice is so strong and so pernicious. For example, yesterday it came out the junior prosecutor in the Michigan kidnap case is withdrawing. He is 100% not the lead prosecutor, and yet:

    What is the significance of a single text from an unidentified person in a chat with Oath Keepers mentioning Rep Jackson? What does it really tell us about the alleged conspiracy? Or is it just a good headline?

    Replying to @LilyHelenaH @kyledcheney and 8 others
    Ah whole azz article. Cause 1 yokel sends a text. Nowhere does it state where the "message" came from or that the member was in direct contact w Rep. Ronny Jackson. "Oath Keepers discussed protecting Rep. Ronny Jackson on J6, texts reveal"

    Previously, Roth was an assistant prosecutor in Ingham County, MI, and, in a wild side note, was once physically attacked by a defendant with a prison shank in court.

    Roth came to the case late after the previous junior prosecutor, Austin Hakes, dropped off. Among other things, he conducted the highly combative cross exam of Daniel Harris, the only defendant to take the stand during trial. Harris was ultimately acquitted.

    The junior prosecutor in the Michigan kidnap case, which ended in two acquittals and two mistrials, has withdrawn from the case. The DoJ has said it intends to try Barry Croft and Adam Fox a 2nd time, but will have to do it without Jonathan Roth.

    Yesterday federal judge Amit Mehta told Oath Keeper Edward Vallejo he'd blown his deadline to file a motion to review his detention order and so his hearing was canceled. So of course Vallejo filed that motion 15 hours later, which feels like perfect practice on Tax Day.

    This is a VERY thorough retort to a recent piece about the DoJ's case against the Oath Keepers, focusing particularly on the Quick Reaction Force (QRF) stationed in Virginia on Jan 6. Worth a read for those who have been following the case.

    Bob Moses proved this fact over and over (and over) again, to the detriment of countless NYers, while criminally ignoring public transit.

    Widening highways only ever leads to more cars on the road—it's called induced demand. We are in a climate crisis. It makes no sense to double down on fossil fuel infrastructure.

    Following a complaint, the FEC penalized two LLCs for funneling $200K in secret funds to a super PAC and the super PAC for accepting the illegal funds. This is the first time that the FEC has penalized LLCs and super PACs for making and receiving straw donations.
