For those that can't watch the video:

  • The Thursday Night Massacre refers to a series of resignations within the Department of Justice in protest of orders to dismiss a corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, which some view as a politically motivated quid pro quo.
  • Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Boet allegedly brokered a deal with Mayor Adams to support Trump's immigration policies in exchange for dropping corruption charges against the mayor.
  • Several prosecutors, including U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon, resigned rather than comply with the directive to dismiss the case, citing ethical concerns and the integrity of the judicial process.
  • The document draws parallels between the current situation and Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre, highlighting historical instances of political interference in legal proceedings.
  • Sassoon's resignation letter expressed that she could not credibly represent the government if forced to dismiss the case without good faith arguments, emphasizing her commitment to the rule of law.
  • Boet's justification for dismissing the charges against Adams was criticized as lacking legal basis and being driven by political motives rather than a genuine concern for justice.
  • The case against Adams included serious allegations of bribery and corruption, and the dismissal without prejudice allows for the possibility of future prosecution, which raises concerns about coercive politics.
  • The document highlights the ethical obligations of federal prosecutors to act without political bias and stresses that prosecutorial discretion should not be influenced by political considerations.
  • The resignation of several senior attorneys in the Public Integrity Section underscores a significant internal conflict within the DOJ regarding the handling of the Adams case.
  • The outcome of the dismissal motion is uncertain, with speculation that the presiding judge may question the motives behind the DOJ's request, potentially leading to a more thorough examination of the case's integrity.

When I was much younger I bit down on a metal straw and it broke off the inner portion of my two front teeth. They should be banned!!!

But for real, all good until you forget it's metal and bite down on it. I've since outgrown my aversion and we have metal straws in the house now (some with a silicone sheath at the tip to prevent mishaps like mine)

I'm honestly impressed with their advertising budget and reach. I see ads for it EVERYWHERE. Billboards, flyers, on YouTube, radio, smoke signals, the car in front of me signaling --.
