I know the social effects. The original question was whether having an ectopic pregnancy would put you in legal jeopardy now.

The original question is would she be "at risk" - and yes, she is at greater risk because treatment is being delayed. Right now, that's happening. She is at increased risk of complications and death.

According to WaPo, they finalized the prescription drug provision and plans to submit it to the parliamentarian, got Manchin's approval, and set a target date for a vote five hours before Leahy fell and injured himself. Like a black comedy or satire.

Hopefully, he can vote in the next 1 to 1.5 months.

Leahy's hip is this week's [non]rotating villain :hehe:

Is there a separate statute that mandates they run consecutive?

Found one possibly great hidden gem in the proposed reconciliation bill language. Finally fixing one of the dumbest and most pointlessly painful aspects of American government.

Requirement for the IRS to create a task force to implement a direct e-file system for your taxes available to all Americans. No more only e-filing through 3rd party software or only getting to e-file for free if you are under a certain income.

The task force would have to deliver a plan to implement it 9 months after the bill passes. Which would be around June 2023.



This reads to me as spending $15M on a study on how much it would cost, what public opinion is, and how they would do it, not directing them to actually implement it

It seems that way. Manchin and Schumer got one over on McConnell, and left Sinema holding a hot potato.

"Oh noooo, I haaate holding hot potatoes"

I was in a meeting just the day with the highest execs in my company, and one asked why we couldn't raise prices higher to match inflation, and the response was that would hurt sales because people aren't making more money.

Immediately followed with a comment to how incredibly profitable we are.

Everyone knows whats up.

Any C-suite exec who doesn't understand that they're already charging the amount of money that puts the most dollars in their pocket deserves to be fired

I love this poo poo. Gotta give forgiveness to a ton of people but definitely no one going forward! Starting school this fall? Too bad

Doesn't really make sense to announce you are going to forgive something prospectively, since it massively changes behavior, and would be a huge target for new kinds of fraud

also on the lawyertalk on the 5th amendment: it is so well understood that the public will instinctively understand pleading the 5th to be an admission of guilt that you're almost never allowed to tell the jury the defendant took the 5th, and every jury is explicitly told there is no requirement for a defendant to testify and you can't hold it against them

so yeah, trump pleading the 5th: not a good day for him or for republicans

You say guilt - aren't we talking about a civil trial right now? I thought pleading the 5th in civil trials allows for an adverse inference?

The leak was that there was a mole, and a lot of people have been talking to the FBI. The leak probably came from the Trump side, so who knows if it's true.

But as I understand it, something had to justify the request for the footage, so there's probably someone saying something to the FBI.

Are Secret Service agents ~around~ Mar-a-Lago when Trump isn't in residence? It seems they would maintain a nominal presence.

And do they have the ability (or duty) to bring shady stuff to the government's attention?

if they have a copy of the unsealed affidavit, they're the only ones

Maybe a bunch of government background reporting that was embargoed until the redacted affidavit was released

How does a special master work for the most classified info the US potentially has?

A special master would basically be a third party taint team. Pretty sure it was a Special Master that did the Michael Cohen privilege review.

Theoretically, but with cars they get huge and heavy quick, weighing upwards of 450kg (~1000lbs) You can hot swap from a scooter sized battery no problem per that Taiwan article, but a car sized one would require a station to handle.

It's still hotswapping if a machine does the transfer

And even if it were light enough to do it by hand, the fact that each battery costs thousands of dollars means you need a ton of infrastructure anyway, to ensure security of your hundreds-of-thousands of dollars capital investment, as the station owner

All court filings to date have been absolutely meticulous about not making this argument. It would go so, so badly if they even tried.

It's just slop for the squealing hogs that are his base.

Notably, Trump's filings to date have included only attorney argument, and not any affidavits or other evidence.

One of the things that Andrew Torres of Opening Arguments has pointed out is how completely unprecedented that is - that you are typically not allowed to get an injunction without putting your allegations into evidence.
