„Tom Gibson, the deputy advocacy director of the #CommitteetoProtectJournalists, was in the courtroom for the verdict. [H]e said: “This is a heartbreaking verdict for the family after years of waiting for #justice. We will continue to stand by them while they seek #accountability for all of those involved in the murder.”

🚨🚨 Whistle-Blower Says #Trump Officials Are Defying #Court Orders on #MailVoting 🚨🚨
A report detailed “grave concerns” that a new system being rushed into use by the #USPS could imperil millions of #MailBallots ahead of the #midterms.
A USPS official has alleged that the agency is moving forward with a “secretive, rushed” effort to implement Trump’s order exerting federal control over mail voting, despite a #CourtOrder blocking those plans.

Nigerian Lawyers in Political Careers: A Historical, Structural, and Contemporary Analysis
The intersection of law and politics in Nigeria is profound and longstanding. Lawyers have disproportionately shaped the country’s political landscape, from pre-independence nationalism to post-1999 democratic governance. Legal training emphasizing advocacy, constitutional interpretation, negotiation, evidence-based reasoning, and oratory equips practitioners exceptionally well for political roles. This pattern reflects both the profession’s prestige and Nigeria’s constitutional emphasis on legal expertise in governance. -
The Ghost Who Keeps Signing by Lawson Akhigbe
The Land Use Act of 1978 vested radical title to land in the state governor. Customary authorities were meant to operate within that framework, not around it. Yet when the formal system becomes a source of frustration rather than facilitation, human ingenuity finds other routes. Enter the late Oba. His name carries historical weight. The palace, however, maintains no functional modern archive capable of systematic verification. Oral history is the dominant method, and most of the original participants are no longer available for cross-examination. The result is a paper trail that is difficult to audit and easy to exploit.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/08/29/the-ghost-who-keeps-signing-by-lawson-akhigbe/

The plaza in front of the #KennedyCenter would also be renamed in Trump’s honor. [FFS he has serious issues]
Mayers argued that the moves amount to a recognition of #Trump, not the renaming of the institution that was sought earlier. The institution no longer calls itself the Trump-Kennedy Center or focuses on such branding, & there’s no effort to return to that argument.

The #Trump aligned board at the #KennedyCenter voted earlier this month to inscribe his name on the venue’s facade so it would read “The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump.” If the Trump Kennedy Center Fund reached $100 million, *another* inscription would be added reading: “Endowed by the Trump Kennedy Center Fund.”

By late Thursday, the admin informed the court that it wouldn’t proceed with changes at the #KennedyCenter before Oct 8 to allow Judge Cooper more time to consider the case.
…Cooper ruled in May that Trump’s name was added to the building illegally, ordering it to be removed.
#Trump & his allies, however, have refused to let that be the final word.

Mayers responded that the timeline was in accordance with a vote earlier this month by the #Trump aligned board. As he returned to his arguments that renovations at the #KennedyCenter require energy & talent, Cooper interjected again.
“That’s all fine & good,” the judge said. “What does that have to do with what #Congress intended in these statutes? That’s really what’s before me.”

Just seconds after the Trump admin’s lawyer, Brantley Mayers, began making his case at a nearly 2-hour hearing, US District Court Judge Christopher Cooper interrupted to ask why the center needed to begin inscribing Trump’s name on the institution’s facade as soon as Sept 8.
“What’s magic about that date?” Cooper asked….

Judge questions why #KennedyCenter is moving so quickly to return #Trump name to building.
A judge Thurs expressed skepticism about the Kennedy Center’s intention to return Trump’s name to the #historic performing arts venue by early next month, challenging the board’s insistence on moving forward even in the face of a court ruling that blocked & reversed a previous effort.

Talwani wrote in her ruling, “Plaintiff #states have neither time nor funds to design new #MailBallots, seek approval of the new designs, order production of mail ballots, update their own election management systems, train election officials to use the #USPS portal & upload citizen data to the portal, all before the #midterms.”

The move stalled the directive for a second time only about a week before the first #MailBallots are due to be sent out for the rapidly approaching midterm #elections. US District Court Judge Indira Talwani placed a 14-day hold on the #FederalGovernment implementing the order in a case that could be headed back to #SCOTUS, which on Monday overturned an earlier ruling of hers that had blocked #Trump’s order from taking effect.

Uncounted in Life, Unrecorded in Death: Nigeria’s Costly Dignity Deficit By Lawson Akhigbe
here is an old, bitter administrative joke in Nigeria that you are only formally counted twice: never when you arrive, and certainly not when you leave. In between, your existence is largely an unverified rumor negotiated between your creator, your luck, and whatever age declaration affidavit you paid a court clerk two thousand Naira to stamp. -
In the rule, the #USPS said that it would deliver #MailBallots ONLY in #states that shared voter data with the federal agency.
Before the USPS accepts ballots into its system, the agency would review every envelope for “compliance” with the new [illegal] standards, including by checking that the recipient was enrolled with the USPS to receive a mail ballot.

The #USPS on Friday published regulations that would restrict #MailVoting, its latest effort to comply with Trump’s call to restrict the long popular practice just months before the #midterm #elections.
In a 95-page final rule, the USPS clarified how it would carry out an executive order #Trump signed in March, which sought to restrict #MailBallots & create state-by-state lists of citizens to help determine voting “eligibility”.

…Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the top Democrat on the #Senate #Judiciary Committee, said confirming #ToddBlanche would be a “serious mistake.” He begged his colleagues not to be on the “wrong side” of history.
“If there is ever a moment in history when we need an Attorney General above reproach, who is clearly dedicated to ending #corruption, even at the highest level of our government, it’s right now,” Durbin said.
-
#ToddBlanche’s confirmation hearing to become the 88th attorney general of the United States began with #Senate #Judiciary Committee #ChuckGrassley, #Republican of Iowa, welcoming him & giving opening remarks, followed by the tanking #Democrat on the committee, #DickDurbin of Illinois.
Durbin’s remarks were worth hearing, the rest not so much. Grassley’s were prebuttal & defensive, Blanche’s were all lies.
Sadly Durbin is retiring. He’s very good, but he is advanced in his years.

Sources familiar expect that any charges would eventually have to be filed in Washington, DC given that's where Brennan's congressional testimony took place.
Rep #GymJordan of Ohio, the #Republican chair of the #House #Judiciary Cmte, referred #Brennan to #DOJ in October, alleging he lied during a 2023 congressional testimony, in part by saying the #CIA was "not involved at all" with the #SteeleDossier.

The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves — in their separate, and individual capacities. In all that the people can individually do as well for themselves, government ought not to interfere.
The desirable things which the individuals of a people can not do, or can not well do, for themselves, fall into two classes: those which have relation to wrongs, and those which have not. Each of these branch off into an infinite variety of subdivisions. The first — that in relation to wrongs — embraces all crimes, misdemeanors, and non-performance of contracts. The other embraces all which, in its nature, and without wrong, requires combined action, as public roads and highways, public schools, charities, pauperism, orphanage, estates of the deceased, and the machinery of government itself.
From this it appears that if all men were just, there still would be some, though not so much, need of government.Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)

She has been in the New Jersey office in recent weeks. It is unclear why. Her presence alone would not be inappropriate or out of the ordinary given her position. It is unclear what motivated Judge Quraishi’s questions.

The leaders are Philip Lamparello, Jordan Fox & Ari Fontecchio.

The hearing did not go as prosecutors had planned. Judge Quraishi grew frustrated with the office’s head of appeals, Mark Coyne, who had not formally disclosed that he would appear, & fiercely interrogated a more junior prosecutor about whether the former interim #USattorney, #AlinaHabba, still had some role in operating the office.
Judge Quraishi eventually threw Coyne out.
