Santos is expected to appear as soon as Wednesday at federal court in New Yorks eastern district, where the charges have been filed under seal.

The exact nature of the charges couldnt immediately be learned but the FBI and the Justice Department public integrity prosecutors in New York and Washington have been examining allegations of false statements in Santos campaign finance filings and other claims.

Under the formal rules for the US House of Representatives, according to a Congressional Research Service report, an indicted Member may continue to participate in congressional proceedings and considerations.

However, if a member is convicted of a crime that could result in a punishment of two or more years in prison, they are instructed under House rules not to participate in votes on the floor or in committee votes.

McCarthy, when asked whether he would continue to stand by Santos, told CNN Tuesday his policy is that a member of Congress should resign after being found guilty of charges and referenced former GOP Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, who resigned after being convicted of concealing information and making false statements to federal authorities in connection with a probe into illegal campaign contributions

Surely truth social can't be doing all that great that Elon wants to compete with that market, right?

Oh who am i kidding he hasn't been a good businessman ever, he's just a rich guy who failed upwards.

Bets on how this will impact his fundraising efforts?

I don't know details about the registry. Does it count for civil cases?

No, they've been coming for it for at least since they killed roe. It just picked up more steam recently.

Oh boy, there's more.

Thomas had taken legal custody of Martin when he was 6 years old and had recently told an interviewer he was raising him as a son.

Tuition at the boarding school ran more than $6,000 a month. But Thomas did not cover the bill. A bank statement for the school from July 2009, buried in unrelated court filings, shows the source of Martins tuition payment for that month: the company of billionaire real estate magnate Harlan Crow.

The payments extended beyond that month, according to Christopher Grimwood, a former administrator at the school. Crow paid Martins tuition the entire time he was a student there, which was about a year, Grimwood told ProPublica.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas voted to end federal tenant protections that his billionaire benefactors company says threatened its real estate profit margins, according to corporate documents reviewed by The Lever. Thomas did not disclose his relationship with real estate billionaire Harlan Crow, nor did he recuse himself from the 2021 case, despite its potential impact on Crow Holdings.

Fuck guns.

I'm hoping that bluesky doesn't become the move. What I've seen of its tos is uniquely atrocious

The Justice Department today filed a complaint challenging Tennessee Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), a recently enacted law that denies necessary medical care to youth based solely on who they are. The complaint alleges that SB 1s ban on providing certain medically necessary care to transgender minors violates the Fourteenth Amendments Equal Protection Clause. The department is also asking the court to issue an immediate order to prevent the law from going into effect on July 1, 2023.

This is genuinely one of the most chilling videos of a person talking Ive ever seen, Steve Crowder is an absolute psychopath.

In going to avoid watching for my own sanity, but i can't say I'm surprised.

I read separately that Crowder received very intense elective surgery to make his chest appear more "manly" right before his wife gave birth to twins. It was too combat his sunken chest that he had lived with for decades before then, but just had to decide to get it done right then.

Something something surgeries for gender etc etc

Kick some ass, Sultan

Sure but it's annoying that it even has to get to that point. And with biden being biden who knows if he will or not.

Well yeah if they expelled her then she'd still be able to get reelected like in Tennessee, right? Can't be having that.

Well i look like a crazy person laughing at this, sitting alone on the work cafeteria. So thanks.

Real talk - for those of you who don't shave in the shower... where is your body when you shave the parts that aren't on your face or neck?

I purchased that on ebay back in high school and played the first hour before moving off to something else. Never got rid of it though, and kept on planning to go back... one day

More news coming out about the finances of our Supreme Court Justices.

Interestingly it was all reported, just obfuscated. They don't claim to be "friends" and it's less egregious than Thomas.

Remember Clarence Thomas' excuse that his gifts from Crow were ok because Crow never had business come up before the court?
Well. He technically did.

If you cost your department $14,000,000 usually nobody will want to hire you. But in the police's case... well there's Reasons And Cause I'm sure, maybe?

You get to use things like that as reasons to ask for more money the next year!

Other news - cop who shot Breonna Taylor has been rehired an hour away. How about this quote...

Chief Deputy Rob Miller told the outlet there will be opinions on both sides of the equation. But ultimately, Miller said, Were going to give him a chance.

We think he will help reduce the flow of drugs in our area and reduce property crimes, Miller, who has previously been accused of using excessive force on the job, told the Louisville Courier Journal. We felt like he was a good candidate to help us in our county.

No surprises here.

Haikyuu

The anime movie adaptations of To Me, The One Who Loved You and To Every You I've Loved Before were overall good. I think the first is slightly weaker than the second, but that might be because of my watch order. I watched them in the happy ending order, doing the reverse is supposed to be sad. I ugly cried a little bit at the end.

Similar vibe as Stein's Gate, but a lot softer and without much violence and no real characters except for the lovers. The character design of the MC was a little bit off-putting, but luckily he's not a child for long.

A few scenes were reused more than I was interested in, but I can see why the recontextualization was worthwhile.

Can you explain how it breaks it? SK got cop scanned in an open setup, there was nothing he could do except try and get a mafia lynched to extend his play.

Oh i didn't know that there was a cop scan. Yeah that changes it. My original thought process was that, if there is an open setup and someone goes "yo I'm sk but this other guy is bp" then surely there's no world in which that sk can win the game without town just going full int.

They were playing for 2nd basically.

So basically their plea was "lynch all mafia before lynching me please"?

PunishedBen posted...

Serial Killer also shot me night 1....and I was the mafia bulletproof. And SK exposed me after he got caught. That's how I got found out. ;0;

I guess i don't understand how that doesn't break the play to win rule, for the sk

In that case, crunchyroll could do a much better job of actually making it easy to find for new viewers. When i made the cr account for this season, it wasn't on the home page at all. I had to deliberately search for rwby to add it.

Oh and frankly the wildest thing about the finale was the Raven and Summer scene. Don't think I saw her being part of that night coming at ALL.

Agreed. Definitely eager to learn more about that.

I have my issues with how some things were prioritized, like Weiss as you mention but even Ruby's scenes and lines felt incomplete.

I'm expecting another long hiatus.
