“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

Phil Shawe, the polarizing New York executive whose financial largesse helped propel Gov. Matt Meyer to victory in 2024, is now throwing his weight behind a new political action committee controlled by Delaware House Speaker Melissa Minor-Brown.
GIUSEPPE PAMPENA, et al., Case No. 22-cv-05937-CRB Plaintiffs, V. ELON MUSK, Defendant. PROPOSED INSTRUCTION RE PRIVILEGE AND ADVICE OF COUNSEL The Court invites the parties to comment on the proposed curative instruction below: Yesterday, in response to a question regarding the decision to go forward with the merger agreement, the Defendant referenced certain advice he received from his counsel. In this case, the Defendant has elected not to assert an advice of counsel defense as to any of his actions with respect to the entire transaction. By way of background, the advice of counsel defense provides that evidence that a defendant in good faith followed the advice of his counsel would be inconsistent with liability. By the Defendant's election, the Plaintiffs have been foreclosed from inquiring into any of the advice given by the Defendant's counsel as well as anything that Mr. Musk told his counsel. Accordingly, that testimony is stricken and you are instructed to disregard it.

I think the theory is that it’s securities fraud to deliberately make false statements about a publicly traded company as part of your campaign to get out of a signed agreement to buy it.
Very helpful, Congressman!

Polis should be impeached if he does this. This would be little different than granting clemency to a January 6 insurrectionist
This should end his career
This is insane. A democratic death wish
What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.
Nevada is where you incorporate if you want to do frauds (h/t @annmlipton.bsky.social). Texas is where you incorporate if you want to (allegedly) actively cover up your firm’s “rape culture.”
Things are really happening down on Y’all Street.

NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.
a whole lot of businesspeople learning in real time that a predictable and stable regulatory state - even if you don’t like some of the regulations - is vastly preferable to “boss man doesn’t like you so you’re fucked now”
As a side note, I’d like to highlight here that Delaware’s Governor, Matt Meyer, does not understand causality or quantitative evidence.
The “sharp increase” in corporate registration happened before this law took effect; and it continued a decade-long trend line.
I don't mean to keep beating a horrifically ignorant dead horse, but in the full press release, the SAME BLOG POST that the Gov's office cites as the source for their claim that the rise in incorporation means "SB-21 is working" IS THE SAME BLOG POST that says SB-21 IS UNLIKELY TO BE responsible.

Yes, that’s idiotic. But Dem state AGs have a realistic shot
Yeah, the GOP AGs were saber-rattling re Netflix. I assume Rob Bonta will now be leading the charge for Dem AGs.
State AGs can still try to block (as Bob Ferguson did successfully with Kroger/Albertsons)
State AGs (including Rob Bonta, the California attorney general who has already said he's looking hard at this) have standing to bring a Clayton Act claim
Zohran makes Schumer look like the pathetic schmuck that he is
Rob Bonta is about to become a well-known name
![As noted, Rosen asserted in his email that "[t]he lawyers in my civil division
didn't deserve" the supposedly inaccurate January 28 order. Putting aside the fact that
the January 28 order was not inaccurate, Rosen failed to mention that this Court said the
following in the show-cause order that preceded the January 28 order:
The Court expresses its appreciation to attorney Ana Voss and her colleagues [in the civil division], who have struggled mightily to ensure that respondents comply with court orders despite the fact that respondents have failed to provide them with adequate resources.

The judges of this District have been extraordinarily patient with the government
attorneys, recognizing that they have been put in an impossible position by Rosen and
his superiors in the Department of Justice (leading many of those attorneys- including, unfortunately, Ana Voss- to resign). What those attorneys "didn't deserve" was the
Administration sending 3000 ICE agents to Minnesota to detain people without making
any provision for handling the hundreds of lawsuits that were sure to follow.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreicr5bo7wzyf54cgwvlf5ada722e6fs6b5f2ycbxh33lqnwi57m3ve@jpeg)

If anything is "beyond the pale," it is ICE's continued violation of the orders of this Court. Increasingly, this Court has had to resort to using the threat of civil contempt to force ICE to comply with orders. The Court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt -again and again and again - to force the United States government to comply with court orders. -5- CASE 0:26-cv-00107-PJS-DLM Doc. 12 Filed 02/26/26 Page 6 of 6 This Court will continue to do whatever is required to protect the rule of law, including, if necessary, moving to the use of criminal contempt. One way or another, ICE will comply with this Court's orders. Dated: February 26, 2026 (s/ Patrick J. Schiltz Patrick J. Schiltz, Chief Judge United States District Court
BREAKING: Judge Patrick Schiltz in Minnesota threatens criminal contempt, if necessary, to address ICE noncompliance in an order calling out U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen's response to Schiltz's earlier questions about noncompliance with court orders.
"ICE will comply with this Court's orders."

We are going to need Nuremberg Trials when this is all over.
This is the angriest I have ever seen a judge be at the government, including in cases of intentional prosecutorial misconducted that resulted in innocent people being wrongfully imprisoned for decades.
stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright
This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.
