2/ Via Lisa Rubin:
Perhaps most importantly, he cannot talk abt prospective or actual jurors, period. That matters bc even though the pub won’t know their names, Trump himself has statutory right to know names of jurors in this NY state proceeding.
It’s common in this case for judge to release orders or opinions days after they are signed. But this 1? Signed today, same day Trump went after Cohen on Truth Soc & day after he attacked a senior lawyer in the DA’s office while cameras rolled.
2/ Via Meidas Touch:
“But what we are doing is we want to terminate healthcare for, under Obamacare, cause it’s bad.”

@spocko@mastodon.online yeah, I posted about that rant earlier today.
But why don’t they ever cover retweets??

Plus Trump himself IS a thread:
Incites violence.
National security.
Plus, Biden is addressing all those other things, AND engaging in a way that makes him relatable, sharp, and gets under Trump’s skin, which makes Trump even more vulnerable.

more evidence that refusing to vote for Biden will not advance the interests of the Palestinian cause

“Jared Kushner has praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property” and suggested Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the strip.”

Biden-Harris HQ quote tweeted the above from Whatley and posted this over it:
@tersenurse@mastodon.social As if I noticed
3/ Via Emptywheel:
The big news from this ruling, IMO, which is a point KFaulders
made earlier, is that Cannon is actually TALKING about juries. With her even that is a big step.
2/ I guess I need to explain that I’m floored… because she was PROMPT. As she said she’d be.
But as others have pointed out, this is not on the merits. It’s “without prejudice.”
So… grain of salt, but still a good ruling.
