It’s even more horrifying when you know that the jury voted to give Smith life in prison, but the judge overrode it. (That would not stand now). Also, they tried to execute him via lethal injection before, but they botched it.
Boebert’s teenage son, Tyler Boebert, was in court 7 days ago, without his mother and without a lawyer, but here she is in New York, in court, for Donald Trump.

It’s fascinating in itself how so many men in particular misunderstand the author’s intentions in Lolita and don’t realize the narrator is unreliable and a bad person.
Thank you to everyone who has been really kind and supportive to me. I want to pay it forward. I’m not putting out a statement about Opening Arguments at least not now. I’m not a person who puts out statements. I’m just a girl from Mississippi doing her best in a bad situation.
Good morning. There is a sanctions hearing today in Travis County for counsel’s behavior in Heslin v. Jones (the already litigated Texas Sandy Hook case).
I cannot BELIEVE that the jury were not isolated during this trial. I'm sure they saw all the jokes, the targeted ads, the tiktoks...everything.
Like....how would that not have a sway over the verdict?
Damn.
White male Ole Miss students are vast outnumbering the pro-Palestinian student protesters, shouting “hey, hey, hey, good bye!” One white male yelled at the protesters “your nose is huge!”

Please go look into the income based repayment plans if you haven’t. Biden Admin made really great changes to that which flew under the radar due to the now defunct $10K forgiveness.
My current position except for the lovely fans and personal friends of mine who all reached out. (And the Knowledge Fight folks in particular). I’m bitter and angry towards so many and have every right in the world to be, but that’s all I’ll say for now.
Zimmerman’s lawyer is Larry Klayman because of course he is. Klayman is banned for life from appearing before two different district court judges. The DC Bar has three disciplinary actions pending against him. Let’s get into it!

In 2018, I filed the first defamation lawsuits against Alex Jones, ultimately discrediting him in court. Today, I am proud to announce I have filed suit against yet another notorious disseminator of false information: The owner of this platform, Elon Musk.
I also specifically want to shoutout
@knowledge_fight
. I’ve been on y’all’s podcast once. I’m active in the online communities with the wonks. But I can say not one person from that community has demanded anything of me but instead supported, cared, and listened.
@edburmila
I am convinced people say this about teaching and other jobs people associate with women to justify not paying them their worth and to demonize them if they do demand their worth.
Dan and Jordan, you should be proud of the audience you’ve cultivated. The policy wonks have made me feel nothing but love and support. Anyways, I’ll be around, and I’ll be going forward whatever that looks like. Thank y’all for everything 💕
Good morning, I am here at another Alex Jones bankruptcy hearing. If you are joining the hearing do not use stupid names if joining online and make sure to mute yourselves.

There is literally no disinformation that is pro-Amber that I’ve ever seen or even heard of going viral. This is not a both-sides issue. I will not concede that point. Look at what goes viral.
I’m figuring out what happens after you become the collateral damage of so many. I’m keeping my side of the street clean, but it’s pretty apparent that I knew less than anyone.
I heard the shoutout from Jordan on
@knowledge_fight
this morning for my coverage of the Alex Jones bankruptcy cases. It means so much to me. I had a chaotic morning and have doubts and fears about the direction I am taking in life. That shoutout was a bright spot for sure.
Back to feeling crushing and overwhelming sorrow. The smallest things exhaust me. Thinking about the future makes me physically sick. I think it’s going to take a long time for me to get in a better place or even an OK place. 1/2
BIG OUTCOME OF HESLIN v. JONES TODAY: PUNITIVE DAMAGES CAP DOES NOT APPLY! This means that judgment is entered for not $4.85 million but instead for around $49.3 million! This will be very likely appealed, but still
Twitter won’t let me thread tweets right now, so here’s 2/2. But anyways, life goes on no matter how much I want a break from it. My corgi has a surgery consultation tomorrow, so please keep Mr. Tucker in your thoughts and give him your best wishes.

The jury in Connecticut has assessed $964.9 million dollars against Alex Jones and Free Speech Systems. There will also be a hearing on attorneys fees and costs in November and argument will be heard on awarding further punitive damages.
@MoString
Just imagine yourself reciting the
@knowledge_fight
technocrat rant, but at the end when you say “I’ll be better tomorrow,” Dan says, “she will.” Because you will. Hang in there.
I was on Knowledge Fight last night talking about the recent legal happenings in the world of Alex Jones. Thank you,
@gotobedjordan
for being such a fantastic host. I’m such a big fan of KF, so it is truly an honor. Listen wherever you get pods!
Good Morning. Alex Jones has a bankruptcy hearing today. Today's hearing involves the Creditors' Committees' (made up of several plaintiffs in the Sandy Hook family lawsuits) application to the court to employ Teneo Capital to serve as a general financial advisor.
@RottenInDenmark
As a lawyer, it is astonishing to me. It’s familiar misogyny, but the acting out of horrific testimony to acclaim and wide acceptance feels like a new breakdown.
A few days ago I had thoughts, plans, and intentions that I had not had in years. It was pure Hell. All the times people told me I was nothing among other things seemed confirmed. But seeing that I have people who care, believe in me, and who support me was a literal lifeline.
Every single person who reached out, commented, or replied was another reason to fight that darkness. I cannot thank y’all enough. I swear I want to pay it forward and make y’all so proud of me one day. I don’t know how, but I’m going to make it happen.
DC Bar just recommended that he be disbarred. Giuliani's attorney is arguing against that in the hearing now. Giuliani's attorney's arguments are shameful. I will discuss them here.
I’m collateral damage and picking up the pieces from that. I don’t want to say anything until we all have more info because a lot of bonkers things keep happening, and I don’t want to look like an absolute clown.
People are really telling on themselves with their takes on ADHD and ADHD meds. Just because you and your friends abused the drugs that I need to function doesn’t mean I deserve to lose access to my meds.
This is a victory for the truth. This is a victory for the memory and honor of the Sandy Hook victims and the honor and dignity of these Plaintiffs. This is a victory in the battle against those who bully the vulnerable and those who spread disinformation.
The court staff, the jurors, Judge Bellis, and the Plaintiffs' attorneys all did a fantastic job. This is a win. Thank y'all for joining me as I talked about this case and provided some legal analysis. Take care of yourselves and each other. Now back to my day job.
not saying anything else about the situation itself right now but just wanted y’all to know I know a lot of y’all are confused and so am I. I’m not trying to keep it moving and ignore what’s happening but I’m just doing my best to go forward while the situation develops.
Thanks, Joe Biden!
$799.38 for ONE full cart at Costco with 58 items and only 9 non-food items like paper towels, plastic bags, trash bags, and razors.
The amount of people who reached out to me were overwhelming in such a good way. I was so scared everyone would be mad at me for things I didn’t do and didn’t know. I internalize things. I blame myself for things that aren’t my fault.
This woman explaining that British Columbia is a Canadian province has the patience of a saint. Also transfers from Jamaica and Canada only is so weirdly specific. 😭
Seen a lot of Law & Order, haven't seen a twist as good as "Alex Jones' lawyers accidentally sent Sandy Hook parents' lawyers the entire contents of his phone and his long-hidden financials, but they waited 12 days to let him lie" in my life. Just an absolutely wild day.
I am virtually present at the Free Speech Systems (InfoWars) bankruptcy hearing today. Today a "disclosure" was filed when the restructuring officer found that Jones was being paid directly for advertising which was not disclosed to the court before now.
I just didn’t want y’all to see me continuing to report on Alex Jones, pop law, pop off some dumb jokes, etc. and be confused about why I didn’t say more about what’s happening.
Welcome to the 8th day of the Alex Jones trial. I'm going to need an 8th of something to get me through. Also begging y'all to not just parrot whatever Alex says as if it is true, and yet.
I hope I make y’all proud. I don’t know what that looks like right now, but I’m trying. I’m just a girl from Mississippi, but I’ll never forget the people who supported me and gave me a chance.
I feel like we should also be talking about how Kanye did not just say that "especially Hitler" had value, but Kanye also said he "loves Hitler" and that the Holocaust did not happen.
Livestream for Alex Jones hearing in Texas is not working, but from what I can hear Mark Bankston is saying that Eric Taube, a lawyer for InfoWars needs to be disbarred.
NEW: A judge has ordered Elon Musk to testify for a two-hour deposition as part of a defamation lawsuit after Musk promoted a false conspiracy that a member of a neo-Nazi brawl was instead a 22-year-old Jewish man posing as a fed.
I land on my feet. I always have. I always will. I wasn’t expected to even get this far. Not going to lie, I hoped I could rest on some laurels soon. But I’ve paid my dues, and it’s not the worst thing if I keep doing that and do it again.
Jones says he is done apologizing and he was right to question Sandy Hook. Norm is shouting objections. Bellis asks Norm if he is objecting to his own client's answers. LMAO.
