1/ Smith's defense of the J6 gag order is as solid as one would expect (thanks for sharing it, @tommyyum!).
A few nuggets follow:

To clarify:
Meadows did not agree to a deal.
His testimony is coerced.
He had no choice.
If the DOJ gives him use immunity he has to testify truthfully because what he says cannot be used against him, so he cannot stand on the fifth.
However, anything he says to his compelled testimony cannot be used against him.
This doesn't mean he cannot be prosecuted. It means that anything he says to questions after being immunized cannot be used against him.
This means he hasn't made any deals.

We would be greatful if you could amplify our voice & let your followers know that the Auschwitz Memorial is present in #fediverse: @auschwitzmuseum

Why Reality TV Star Donald Trump Is More Trusted than Most News Outlets
Reality TV Show Actor Donald Trump showed up at his fraud trial today and manipulated the press to allow him to claim he "predicted" that he lost because The Corrupt Judge and The Black Woman Prosecutor ganged up on him. And in the process, Reality TV Actor Donald Trump will have once again led millions to believe in his fantasy self-worth.
Periodic reminder that "don't speak ill of the dead" is for, like, not mentioning at her funeral that Aunt Sally was a drunk and a lousy cook. It's not for suppressing public discussion of public figures and their complicated legacies.
Or, put another way, the obligation to "speak truth to power" is way more important than the obligation "not to speak ill of the dead". One is about justice and the other is about politeness. To be frank, FUCK politeness.
