#ToddBlanche, Trump’s nom for the No. 2 job at the #DOJ & another one if his #criminal defense attys, decried at his #confirmation hearing what he called “partisan lawfare” waged against #Trump.

Blanche’s opening statement was an attack on the cases against Trump. “Politics should never play a role in the Department of Justice, but recently, in too many circumstances, it has,” he said [ –he’s right, just not in the way that he thinks.]

#Senate voted to advance #TulsiGabbard for #Trump’s director of national #intelligence, signaling the collapse of #Republican resistance to her nomination & placing her on a smooth path to #confirmation on Wednesday.

2 #Senate cmtes are set to decide Tues whether to advance 2 of #Trump’s most contentious cabinet picks to final #confirmation votes in the full chamber. The Finance Cmte is scheduled to vote at 10AM on the nomination of #RFKJr as #health secretary, & the #Intelligence Cmte is scheduled to vote this afternoon on the nomination of #TulsiGabbard as director of national intelligence.

I posted this yesterday, but I should have noted that my Cambridge Element ‘Probability and Inductive Logic’ is free to download for the next four weeks. Get amongst it!

Cuz one even does need that shit just for restock notifications in Germany...

Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s financial reports include an unusual redaction

“#Kacsmaryk’s entire net worth seems to be wrapped up in the one stock that is #redacted,” Palin said. “It negates the entire purpose of the financial disclosures if **96 percent of this judge’s #net #worth is #hidden from the general public**. It’s clear as day.”

Gabe Roth, director of the court transparency nonprofit Fix the Court, agreed that “it makes very little sense” to allow the redaction — though neither he nor Palin had any information about the reason it was approved.
“One of the ways that the public conducts accountability for judges and justices is by reviewing their financial reports,” Roth said.

Kacsmaryk has been criticized by members of Congress for not being forthcoming during his #confirmation #process. The Washington Post reported last week that Kacsmaryk **did not disclose** that he submitted an article to a law review criticizing Obama-era protections for transgender people and had **asked that his name be removed from the article.**

If someone is interested, I've just got an answer from the Framework support that @frameworkcomputer is their actual account in the Fediverse.

I hope they'll fix their site soon so Mastodon will show up the link as verified.

We have just submitted the revised version of "Means to valuable exploration:

Anyone can take part in an open review.
