Quote
A Grand Jury Will Indict a Ham Sandwich? Not in the Trump Era.
Something extraordinary is happening in federal courthouses across America: Grand juries are exercising their power to reject criminal charges in high-profile cases. [...]
[...] in recent months, we've seen grand juries asserting themselves as meaningful checks on prosecutorial overreach, particularly in cases stemming from Mr. Trump[...]
This is how grand juries were meant to work. The Supreme Court chief justice Earl Warren once described grand juries as "a primary security to the innocent against hasty, malicious and oppressive persecution."
[...] grand jurors — everyday Americans performing a civic duty — are recognizing the administration's penchant for prosecutorial overreach and refusing to participate in it. They're acting as the conscience of the community, rejecting efforts to suppress political dissent.

... but suppose Trump sends in his goons to torture or murder them if they refuse to comply, then preemptively pardons the perpetrators (but keeps the pardons sealed for if/when their identities are revealed)? So long as the crimes are commited on federal property (including federal courthouses) they're federal crimes, so Trump can pardon anyone for anything inside them. They're like a "safe space" for Trump-maga criminality.
Dual sovereignty I believe means that if the feds want the case they take precedence but the federal court is still in the state and state laws still apply as well.
The risk wouldn’t be torturing people serving in a grand jury, the risk is when the government decides they don’t need grand jury’s in the first place. -

I find myself reluctant to finish Stormlight archive. I enjoyed all the books. I only read the first 3 and not the first 4 as I thought. It’s been years and I feel a reread may be necessary for the right mindset to understand book 4 and 5.
For all that I enjoyed the books, I feel that Sanderson bloated these books. They are longer than needed for what happens in them. The plot and the action are great but certain plot points repeat or Kaladin and I know that very same plot points will be even further retread in books 4 and 5.
The books were run the first time but I know from prior rereads it can feel sluggish on the second time around.
Any thoughts? -

I've forgotten what happened to Malk. Will see if I can find.
I understood that the Black Council are/were Nemisis' first wave, the initial foray at Earth while the larger force continues to hammer at the gates and Winter.
Malk are the Cat Fae, i think you're referring to Cat Sith, who helped Harry for a while during Cold Days, was taken by Nemesis and thrown into the lake by Harry. We haven't seen him since.
Well initially it seemed only mortal wizards could summon outsiders into our reality. So there was s time I think when it was unclear whether the dark council summoned outsiders to serve there purposes or whether nemesis tricked wizards into founding the black council or just created it. I actually wont be surprised to learn that while nemesis may have fingers in the black council if it isn't something that exists on its own as well.
Only mortals being able to summon outsiders doesnt seem to be that strong of a lock in any case since mind controlling wizards seems to be possible in so many ways. Including simple addiction to red court venom. -

have been reviewing my finances with the end of the year, my job loss and tax season all coming together.
The budgeting software I used closed shop the start of 2024 and was taken over by a different company who replaced it with a rather terrible piece of software.
I’m kicking myself for not acting sooner. I automate my savings and so while I certainly made smart investments. 30% of my income went into retirement accounts and I got my companies full 4% match. My rent, groceries, subscriptions etc seem to have spoken for 40% of my income. Now the part that I’m annoyed with myself for is I can’t tell exactly how much of the 30% remaining went to things like clothes, vacations, etc and what I saved. If I spent the full 30% I’d be shocked and angry with myself but it’s not clear that I saved any money from this pool either. I had a lot of work travel expenses for my job (meals, hotels, flights etc) so my credit card balances and bank balances swings wildly with a lot of activity that makes it hard to track in hindsight if my money was growing or shrinking at any given time.
Good budgeting software is worth its weight in gold! I wish I had acted sooner
