Yeah further to this, Scott’s conduct is egregious imho. Question will be on proving actual malice, but plenty here in my mind to survive MTD or anti-slapp (which I think may not even be available in diversity cases in DC). Based lawsuit, Jennings sucks.
Lawyer 'Pisco' commenting on JUST the first sentence in Hasan Piker's complaint against Scott Jennings: The first thing to note is how that could be seen differently as a statement of fact versus a statement of opinion. If someone gave the opinion that you think Hasan is a racist or something, that in my opinion is non-actionable. "Hasan Piker is out there calling for black voters to be lynched"— One wonders what context would put this in the realm of opinion as opposed to a statement of fact.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Mao Zedong is under any single social metric a dictator. Not a single popular election, single government party and lifetime leadership. Not even taking into account the millions of deaths under his reign. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong

Has nothing to do with this new criminal case, but MAGA bots don’t care.
FLASHBACK: James Comey was asked if he was concerned he may have leaked classified information back in 2018. His response tells you everything.

This new Comey non-indictment is time-barred trash, clearly more corrupt lawfare from Trump regime.

Manchin is a hack. He wants desperately to atomize each race for US Senate, as though this entire election shouldn’t be and isn’t about the presidency and Trump agenda. It’s the same weakness and naivety that caused him not to endorse Kamala in 2024 because of muh filibuster.
The disgusting attack ad in the Ohio governor’s race points to a much bigger problem in politics. The political parties don't care about the character or integrity of their candidates anymore. They only care about power — no matter what it takes. We need common sense leadership, and once again, the parties are failing to meet the moment.

Insult to injury, Kamala cannot officially decide to alter Senate rules were she President. That formalism isn’t enough to protect her from being buried by Manchin, but somehow we can Schoolhouse Rock our blinders on to pretend the race in Maine is about Collins not Trump.

The Vivek ad is disgraceful and disgusting and should *extra* motivate people to vote against him. But if that was the thing that changed your disposition, there is something deeply wrong with your calculus.

Notice the terminology there. Stealing from "me."
President Trump on the DOJ investigation into allegations against Corey Lewandowski profiting from his position at the DHS: “All I know is I want my people to be honest, and if they're not gonna be honest, they have to be prosecuted…[if] people are not honest, they're stealing from me as president. They're stealing from me. So, I want my people to be honest, and if they're not honest, I'll have my DOJ go and do whatever they have to do.” (I have isolated Trump's voice)

Violence and threats of violence have no place in politics. Horrific and my sympathies to @RepMoskowitz
A constituent of mine has just been arrested in Boca, just a few miles from my house, for threatening my life. He is currently in the Palm Beach County jail. I’m grateful to @fdlepio and local law enforcement for acting quickly to keep myself and my family safe.

Grateful to @SenatorDurbin for his years of service, but this reveals why he’s right to retire — this feckless posture is indefensible Democrats are too systemically disadvantaged and can’t afford to play politics with one hand behind their backs against a ruthless GOP
Read @pkcapitol on Durbin, the longest serving party whip in Senate history, who wanted to end his career walking out the front door "rather than be carried out the back.” On Harry Reid going nuclear: “He was warned ahead of time there would be retribution. It all occurred and we’re still suffering from that." And on why Dems shouldn't follow McConnell rule on SCOTUS: washingtonsun.com/congress/d…
