"Trump was looking cheerful and relaxed, sharing smiles and laughs with his lawyers, as they prepared to leave for the day. As soon as the judge announced that instead we had a verdict, his demeanor changes dramatically. He crossed his arms and knitted his brows. He continued to whisper with attorney Todd Blanche, but no longer cheerfully." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/30/trump-hush-money-trial-live-updates-jury-deliberations/#link-DSII2AUYSBABTM63G6FHUDBT74

Justice Alito's wife loves her flags. In a three-page letter, he writes:

"As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused"

"There were no additional steps that I could have taken to have the flag taken down more promptly"

"My wife is fond of flying flags. I am not"

"The justice told Fox News that his wife hoisted the flag in response to Ms. Baden’s vulgar insult. A text message and the police call — corroborated by Fairfax County authorities — indicate, however, that the name-calling took place on Feb. 15, weeks after the inverted flag was taken down" https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/us/justice-alito-neighbors-stop-steal-flag.html

"The average Florida resident now lives about 590 miles from the nearest clinic that offers abortions after six weeks and will need to wait nearly 14 days to end her pregnancy past that point — up from an average 20-mile drive and five-day wait before the ban." Gift link: https://wapo.st/4aBrWSf

One source told me China is happy to let the U.S. ban TikTok: "If ByteDance loses a chunk of revenue and hurts its private market investors, who are mostly American, there's not going to be too much grief in Beijing ... They can turn around and say, 'Look, the Americans have been beating us over the head with this stick of free speech ... and now they're doing the same thing as us'"

Wow: The 25 most-cited news organizations in the U.S. lost 75% of their total user engagement on Facebook and 58% of interactions on Instagram between 2022 and 2024.

Or will they just go without?" https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/04/21/social-media-trump-biden-politics-instagram-facebook @naominixwrites @michaelscherer

New: We pulled the data, and Trump on Truth Social is even angrier and more isolated than he was on Twitter in 2016. His audience is diminished, but he's posting more than ever - an extreme, vengeful, vitriolic persona few voters directly see https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2024/trump-truth-social-posts/
