Garth Brooks announced seven concerts at the AAC with the twist being back-to-back shows on Friday and Saturday nights.
- One of the three missing bodies near Kerrville was recovered yesterday. Still missing are "one adult male and a little girl from Camp Mystic."
- Dan Patrick vs. Greg Abbott on THC: The Texas Senate's new proposal on THC in the current special session, SB 5, is a complete ban. But the headlines that Gov. Abbott wants "stiff regulations" are also misleading. All he was trying to say yesterday was that he basically supports the current law which has a 0.3% delta-9 THC limit established by the federal 2018 Farm Bill. (But he even screwed that up by saying "3 milligrams" instead of 0.3%.)
- Stay with me here . . .
- Alina Habba, Trump's personal lawyer who had no criminal or prosecutorial experience, was appointed four months ago as interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. But without confirmation by the U.S. Senate, her term expires by law after 120 days. After that, once again by law, she only can remain in that position if the federal judges in New Jersey approve her. Yesterday, they refused to do so and appointed someone else in the Justice Department instead. (Gift article)
- Here's the statute giving the judges the authority. It's pretty clear. Congress allows the federal judges to have that power over unconfirmed U.S. Attorneys.
- But what did Trump do in response to Habba being rejected? Through AG Pam Bondi, he fired the person the federal judges appointed and called the judges "rogue."
- And this sentence really stood out out to me. We are on the verge of the judiciary being neutered. It's over.
- Epstein News:
- Trump claimed yesterday he had no idea that the Deputy Attorney General (also his personal lawyer) planned to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell. Video.
- Speaker of the House Mike Johnson dismissed the House for summer vacation because they were about to be forced to take a vote on releasing the Epstein files.
- Trump is playing all the hits to try and divert attention.
- Ozzy Osbourne has died. He made news in 1982 for "urinating on the Alamo." In reality, however, he didn't do that, but instead relieved himself on a statue on the grounds -- not that that is much better.
- Good lord. Video.
- The Business Second™. Doesn't that sound a little cheap for a full city block with no height restrictions?
- The Second Business Second™. Another bidder has shown up with a higher offer for the Dallas Morning News. But this one sounds even worse than the first one: "Alden, a hedge fund firm based in New York that owns MNG, has attracted controversy for focusing on cost-cutting at the newspapers it owns."
- Random Meme Thought: Wait, this girl . . .
- . . . turned into this girl?
- My last bullet point should always just be "Thank you for your attention to this matter."
