  1. Who gives a fuck what his base will think? They're his base. Him being jailed for repeated flagrant contempt may help him con some more legal fees out of his most hardcore supporters, but it won't help him with undecided voters and it would send a signal to everyone that he's not actually above the law.

  2. This is Gus. He joined our family about 6 years ago. As a puppy, he was released from service dog school after biting a trainer. We adopted him afterwards. He is, quite possibly, the dumbest animal to ever walk this planet. His dumbassery has provided our family countless hours of happiness. He is also one of the most loving and gentle dogs Iā€™ve ever known. Iā€™m grateful that Kristi Noem wasnā€™t his prior owner.

  5. This is Jesse. He joined our family about 2 years ago. We donā€™t know his story. He was abandoned and nearly killed when tranquilized by animal control. The vet who treated him knew us and that we had other vizslas in the family. We adopted him. He is, quite possibly, the sweetest animal to ever walk this planet. He can be slow to accept new people which we assume relates to being mistreated previously. But once familiar he wonā€™t leave your side. Iā€™m grateful that Kristi Noem wasnā€™t his prior owner.

  6. https://www.axios.com/2024/05/06/geoff-duncan-endorses-biden-trump-2024 Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan on Monday endorsed President Biden and said that his fellow Republicans should back the Democrat's re-election bid instead of voting for former President Trump. Why it matters: Duncan was seen as a target for centrist political group No Labels, which announced last month it was dropping plans to run a unity ticket this November. What he's saying: "Unlike Trump, I've belonged to the GOP my entire life," Duncan wrote in an op-ed published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Monday. "This November, I am voting for a decent person I disagree with on policy over a criminal defendant without a moral compass," he wrote. Duncan said it's "disappointing" to see Republicans "fall in line behind" Trump, and added that "the GOP will never rebuild until we move on from the Trump era, leaving conservative (but not angry) Republicans like me no choice but to pull the lever for Biden."

  20. New Witness: Jeffery McConney Weā€™ve concluded looking at the series of 11 invoices that prosecutors say were falsified. With that testimony, we take our morning break. The last 10 minutes or so have consisted of a slow procession of invoices from Cohen and related emails between Jeffrey McConney, Deborah Tarasoff and Allen Weisselberg being shown on the video monitors in the courtroom. These, prosecutors say, are the false documents. They donā€™t look like much, and despite their centrality to the case, the room has taken on a relaxed atmosphere as we make our way through them. Itā€™s worth noting that Michael Cohen was not working for the Trump Organization anymore as he was submitting these invoices. At some point in 2017, he set up shop at Squire Patton Boggsā€™s offices in Midtown. Cohen continued to describe himself as Trumpā€™s personal lawyer that year, providing a connection to Trump directly. But he was not working for the company. As Jeffrey McConney continued to testify, Trump turned to one of his lawyers, Emil Bove, and whispered to him urgently, with Bove responding a bit more calmly and nodding. In a funny aside, Jeffrey McConney is asked where Trump physically was in 2017. He deadpans that Trump was in Washington, D.C. He then describes the fact that the checks would have to be sent to the White House for the president of the United States to sign. McConney makes clear that starting in March 2017, these checks reimbursing Michael Cohen began coming out of Trumpā€™s personal bank account. In March 2017, Trump began a pressure campaign on his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, to get him to reverse his recusal from the investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russians. For context on how the Trump Organization worked, Jeffrey McConneyā€™s son Justin was the person who basically ran Trumpā€™s Twitter feed before Trump learned how to do it himself, a moment that Justin described to Politico as like the moment the dinosaurs learned to open doors in ā€œJurassic Park.ā€ Jeffrey McConney, who no longer works for the Trump Organization, says theyā€™re still footing his legal bills. Jeffrey McConney testifies that he worked for the Trump Organization beginning in 1987. For context, thatā€™s just a few years after Trump Tower opened, and the same year that Trump made a feint at running for president the first time with a trip to New Hampshire as his book ā€œThe Art of the Dealā€ was being published. He is now describing the intricate lacing of more than 500 entities that comprise the Trump Organization. Prosecutors call Jeffrey McConney to the stand. The jury is in its seats. McConney is a tall man with a white shoulder length hair and bangs that nearly fall over his eyes. He is sworn in and sits down at the witness stand. He will be questioned by the prosecutor Matthew Colangelo. Interesting to see that neither Joshua Steinglass nor Susan Hoffinger, the two prosecutors who led the last criminal trial at which McConney testified, are handling this. McConney was a difficult witness at that trial ā€” not only did he decline to answer many questions, but he also had to be excused after falling ill, delaying the trial. We are beginning to see the roots of what prosecutors say are false about the documents at issue in this case. Jeffrey McConney told Deborah Tarasoff, who dealt with the details of payroll at the Trump Organization and who is also expected to testify, to record the payments to Michael Cohen as ā€œlegal expenses.ā€ He also told her to say they were being made as part of a ā€œretainerā€ agreement between Cohen and Trump, which prosecutors say did not exist. Prosecutors say that was a way to disguise the hush-money reimbursement to Cohen. To find Trump guilty, jurors will have to agree that these documents were indeed falsified. This is also why the prosecutors laid out their case they way they did ā€” with the conspiracy around concealing negative information about Trump ahead of the election coming first. Matthew Colangelo, the prosecutor, asked McConney if he ever saw a retainer agreement. He responded: ā€œI did not.ā€ On screen is an email from Allen Weisselberg to Jeffrey McConney saying that it was okay to pay the money to Michael Cohen, ā€œper agreement with Don and Eric.ā€ Eric Trump is sitting in the courtroom as this takes place. Notably, McConney testifies that he didnā€™t send the invoice from Cohen to the legal department for review. He acknowledges he typically would do so with invoices. Jeffrey McConney is testifying about hugely important documentary evidence, only barely disguised by the financial documents and handwritten notes on screen. We just now learned that the payment came from Trumpā€™s personal bank account. It appears we are about to see that the invoices Michael Cohen sent for the payment were prompted by Cohenā€™s conversation with Allen Weisselberg, in an arrangement, again, that Cohen will testify was confirmed with Trump. Earlier in McConneyā€™s testimony, the prosecution team established an important context for this: That Trump himself paid extremely close attention to his finances and especially to any outgoing cash. McConney said he soon got in touch with Cohen about processing these payments. He emailed Cohen in early February 2017 with a reminder to send him invoices. The subject line was ā€œ$$.ā€ Jurors are seeing a lot of notes scribbled by Jeffrey McConney. It looks more like how someone might track their personal taxes on the fly, not something coming out of a company. This evidence helps to counter one of the arguments that the defense made in its opening statement, asking the jury to consider why, if Michael Cohen made a payment of $130,000, he was paid so much more than he would have been owed. But Jeffrey McConney just walked us through the disparity in the amounts, which includes both a bonus for Cohen and tax considerations. This also underscores the prosecutionā€™s argument that top officials in the Trump Organization were involved in making Cohen financially whole. And McConney just walked through how closely Trump, historically, has paid attention to his bottom line. Weā€™re seeing a bank statement from Michael Cohenā€™s shell company, Essential Consultants, marked with a handwritten notation by Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organizationā€™s former chief financial officer. It outlines the reimbursement to Cohen, which included a bonus and monies to cover a tax burden. Weisselbergā€™s handwriting is a scrawl but Jeffrey McConney seems to be able to read it. We are seeing important evidence right now, of the instructions Weisselberg gave to McConney as related to paying Cohen, in part to reimburse the hush-money payment. This fulfills several important functions: Cohen is expected to testify that he spoke with Trump about being repaid, and that Trump asked Weisselberg to handle the specifics. So here, we see paper evidence of what prosecutors will say is the aftermath of that conversation, and the blueprints for the repayment. Jeffrey McConney, and the courtroom, are now being shown banking records that are going to lead to the heart of the case. Last week, we saw only a brief glimpse of the hush money payment actually changing hands, when Keith Davidson, Stormy Danielsā€™s 2016 lawyer, texted someone the words ā€œfunds received.ā€ Now, weā€™re seeing more evidence of that all-important transaction, including a withdrawal of about $130,000 related to the company Michael Cohen set up to facilitate the payment. Jeffrey McConney is beginning to testify, albeit fairly euphemistically, about the reimbursement to Michael Cohen for the hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels. McConney says that in 2017, his boss, Allen Weisselberg, told him that Cohen needed some money. Some of it was related to Cohenā€™s bonus, McConney testifies, and adds, ā€œAnd then there was some other money he was owed.ā€ Cohen was owed $130,000 for the hush-money payment. The prosecutor just asked Jeffrey McConney: ā€œAre you familiar withā€ Michael Cohen? This is going to introduce key conversations between Allen Weisselberg, the former top financial official at the Trump Organization, and Cohen, a key witness for the prosection. McConney is being fairly mocking of Cohen. Asked about his role, McConney says, ā€œHe said he was a lawyer.ā€ Jeffrey McConney is no stranger to the witness stand. I have seen him testify three times. In 2023, at Trumpā€™s civil fraud trial, he teared up on the stand. ā€œI just wanted to relax and stop being accused of misrepresenting assets for the company that I loved working for. Iā€™m sorry,ā€ he testified. McConney was also a defendant in that case. Jeffrey McConney just told a story that is emblematic of Trumpā€™s management style. He says about a year into his employment, he walked into Trumpā€™s office. The boss, who was on the phone, said to him: ā€œJeff, youā€™re fired.ā€ Once Trump hung up, he elaborated. McConney wasnā€™t actually fired, but Trump warned him that it was a problem that his ā€œcash balances went down last weekā€ and urged him to ā€œfocus on my bills.ā€ It was, McConney says, a ā€œteaching moment.ā€ And itā€™s helpful for prosecutors seeking to illustrate how closely Trump was focused on the outflow of cash. Trump smiled widely as McConney told this story. ā€œYouā€™re fired,ā€ of course, was his catchphrase on ā€œThe Apprentice,ā€ the reality show that vaulted him to a new level of fame, and, one could argue, his successful run for president. So far in this trial, Trump has seemed to enjoy listening to his former employees recount positive memories of working for him during their testimony. Trump is often leaning back and closing his eyes. The prosecution is currently asking the witness, in granular detail, about the inner workings of the Trump Organizationā€™s accounting department. This includes defining the term ā€œgeneral ledger.ā€ Friday featured Hope Hicks discussing the fevered final days of the 2016 presidential campaign, crying on the stand. Today, we are hearing about accounting software. While McConney was delving into one of the dryer details of his accounting job, I took a glance at Justice Merchanā€™s written ruling finding Trump in contempt. In the courtroom, the judge suggested he was giving the former president a last chance. But the written order leaves Trump a bit of wiggle room ā€” Merchan writes that ā€œif appropriate and warranted, future violationsā€ of his orders will be punishable by jail. He could have drawn an even brighter red line by saying ā€œany future violation.ā€ Still, overall, this is a dire situation for the former president. For those of us who covered the Trump Organizationā€™s trial in 2022, hearing Jeffrey McConneyā€™s testimony is like experiencing deja vu. At that trial, too, McConney testified about his old boss, Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, who is currently in jail. McConney and Weisselberg had been close, having lunch every day, as McConney just testified. In this trial filled with fascinating witnesses and compelling testimony, McConneyā€™s appearance may mark a turn, as we begin to hear about the financial documents at the heart of the case. During that trial, the Trump Organization was convicted of tax fraud and other crimes. McConney lights up a little ā€” looking at the jury, flashing a grin ā€” when he mentions ā€œAccounts Receivable,ā€ describing it as when money is coming into an organization. The jury is now coming in after an intense start to the day, complete with an overt threat of jail for Trump if he continues to violate his gag order. The judge is now scolding the defense lawyers. He is frustrated because they wish to lodge objections related to the witness, Jeffrey McConney, but that they did not tell him yesterday, when they learned who the witness was, that they would have objections. Justice Merchan has objected to what he sees as efforts from the defense to delay the trial, often by taking action last minute. Defense lawyers suggest theyā€™ve been told Jeffrey McConney, who was a top Trump Organization official at the time of the Stormy Daniels payout, will be the next witness. McConney, the former controller of the Trump Organization, is familiar to many of the reporters covering this trial. He testified at the trial of Trumpā€™s company in 2022 and at Trumpā€™s civil fraud trial last year, where he was among the defendants. Justice Merchan says that his job is to ā€œprotect the dignity of the justice system,ā€ and calls Trumpā€™s violations of his gag order ā€œa direct attack on the rule of law.ā€ And now he hands down his decision. Weā€™ve already heard that he held Trump in violation a 10th time, in addition to the previous nine violations. Trump had no noticable reaction to Merchan warning him that jail could be in the offing if he continues to flaunt his gag order. He was hunched over the defense table as Merchan issued his warning. When the judge concluded, Trump shook his head. Justice Merchan is speaking directly to Trump, in an extraordinary moment. He tells him heā€™s finding him in contempt of the gag order a 10th time, but that the $1,000 per instance fines arenā€™t working and that he has to consider jail. ā€œThe last thingā€ he wants to do is put Trump in jail, the judge says, adding, ā€œYou are the former president of the United States and possibly the next president as well.ā€ Justice Merchan tells Trump his ongoing violation of his gag order is a ā€œdirect attack on the rule of law. I cannot allow that to continue." He says he wants him to understand he will put him in jail if he has to. The judge says he will address the motion for contempt and begins to address Trump and his lawyers. He says that he will find Trump in criminal contempt for the 10th time ā€” one for each of the violations of his gag order. Emil Bove, who has been aggressive in cross-examination, is sitting first-chair at the defense table this morning, while Todd Blanche, another Trump lawyer, is sitting chatting with the defendant. Trump has wanted his defense to fight more. The judge is on the bench and we are set to begin. As a reminder, Hope Hicks concluded her testimony on Friday, and court ended a bit early that day. We donā€™t know yet who is testifying today. Trump is in the courtroom, with his son Eric in tow again. Alina Habba, who represented Trump in his civil fraud trial last year, is sitting next to Eric Trump. Boris Epshteyn, Trumpā€™s recently-indicted legal adviser, is sitting behind both, several seats away from Alan Garten, the Trump Organization's general counsel. The prosecutors have entered, carrying their boxes of documents. They wish a good morning to the court officers and begin to set up their table. Good morning from the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse, where Donald J. Trump is on trial on charges that he falsified business records while reimbursing a hush-money payment to a porn star. Today marks the start of the fourth week of the trial and the third week of testimony.

  25. Looks like our oldest is locked into UGA. She ended up accepted everywhere she applied other than NYU. We preferred Illinois or Willam and Mary, but left it up to her to decide what was best for her. She will be in the honors program there as an out of state kid, so she is about as excited as she can be at this point.

  28. All season stats: Atwood - .433, 21 HR, 83 RBI Jennings - .365, 19 HR, 56 RBI Big 12 stats: Atwood - .386, 10 HR, 40 RBI Jennings - .341, 13 HR, 32 RBI Kilfoyl finishes as the best Big 12 season pitcher by ERA (1.25) and Citlaly finishes 2nd (1.91) - big surprise even after her UH mess. TK finishes fourth (and the top freshman) at 2.20 ERA. Citlaly is the only qualified pitcher in the conference to finish conference play and season play undefeated (6-0 in Big 12 play, 10-0 on the season) Texas' finishes Big 12 play as the top hitting team (.356) and top pitching staff (2.25 ERA), as well as season-wide (.380 team BA and 1.72 team ERA) My guesses: Big 12 COY - Mike White (duh) Big 12 Player of the Year - Atwood Big 12 Freshman of the Year - Kavan Big 12 Pitcher of the Year - Kilfoyl Big 12 Newcomer of the Year - Shaylee Govan (Baylor) I would guess Reese, Citlaly, Ashton Maloney, Mia Scott and maybe Katie Stewart are 1st Team All Big 12. TK should be 2nd Team All Big 12, with maybe Vivi and Kayden Henry. All Freshman Team selections should be TK, along with Stewie and Henry.

  29. The thing I keep coming back to is the immediacy of these violations. Failing to comply with a gag order isn't "deep state" stuff, it's about honoring the orders of the judge. Whether you believe Trump should be in court or not, it's difficult to argue that staying in line during the trial is somehow part of the setup. Not that I think the average MAGAt would agree, but still . . .
