The United States respectfully requests this Court to preclude Burke in

testimony or other evidence that directly or indirectly suggests Burke’s claimed

The United States therefore respectfully requests the Court to preclude in
limine any argument and evidence during trial that suggests Burke’s claimed
status as a β€œjournalist” somehow impacts the legal implications of his charged
conduct in this case. Such argument and evidence would be contrary to law and
irrelevant under Fed. R. Evid. 401 and 402. In addition, any potential probative
value (which does not exist here) is substantially outweighed by the threat of
confusing and misleading the jury, inevitable delay, and would be a waste of time
and resources, and should be excluded under Fed. R. Evid. 403 regardless.

A BART train can hold 2000 people and you can run 30 of them per hour in each direction.
A bus-only lane can run 120 buses per hour, 50 passengers per bus, 6000 passengers per hour...

The source for the quote is this 2020 interview, which doesn't mention that the girl is the band's bassist: thisent.com/john-popper-...

This 2012 interview with the band's guitarist identifies Felicia, and says that she and Popper are "still very close": www.songfacts.com/blog/intervi...

Not fleeing: New report shows more wealthy residents in Mass., 2 years into 'millionaire's tax' Despite previous concerns, Massachusetts' "millionaire's tax" hasn't seemed to deter high-earnersΒ from continuing to live here, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.

As others have already pointed out, Warren and the people of Massachusetts know that billionaires will *not* flee. Two years after a tax on incomes over $1m, "the number of ultra-wealthy residents in Massachusetts … has actually grown since 2022, from 1,954 to 2,642 in 2024", a 35% increase.

Nice lifesaver plant! Does it smell? I have a stapelia paniculata that makes little purple starfish flowers, but thankfully no carrion scent like most stapelias.

Teen Girls Arrested and Deported While Backpacking in Hawaii The two girls were made to sign false confessions and spend the night in a dangerous prison.

Foreign friends, please don't come to the US right now. We're in the grip of government sanctioned monsters who have no interest in the law or anyone's wellbeing. I hate having to say it, but we're a dangerous place for you. Take care.
