The judge who oversaw Donald Trump's criminal trial in Manhattan agreed to partially lift a gag order on the former president Tuesday.

Trump gag order partially lifted in hush money case

> "Until sentence is imposed, all individuals covered by Paragraph (b)" -- referring to members of the court staff, the district attorney's staff and their families -- "must continue to perform their lawful duties free from threats, intimidation, harassment, and harm," Merchan wrote in the ruling.

> And although he struck the portion of the gag order pertaining to jurors, Merchan wrote that it would be his "strong preference" to extend those protections because there remains "ample evidence to justify continued concern for the jurors."

Someone help make sense of this. Why would you lift the gag order off jurors but not yourself?

  • Small group grabbed a huge piece. They didn't do that quietly. People stopped caring, became more self centered, and we lost sight of communities. We allowed this shit and we need to start voting like it.

  • Good = Boring = No Corporate News Story
  • I have family in rural NC , two different areas. Both have lived in those areas for 15 yrs. When AT&T pulled out due to not enough customers, they lost internet. The only option they had was 10 down, 1 up (advertised), for $65 a month.

    Last year they got word AT&T, and several smaller name companies were moving out there. Now they get 300 down, 10 up for $50.

    A report on the findings was submitted in April, but the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry has yet to release it.

    Unpublished study finds elevated cancer rates at US military base

    As a veteran, it is frustrating to deal with the government to prove exposure to toxins.

    The PACT Act was meant to streamline all of this but the burden still falls on the veteran. How many have been exposed knowingly but due to the military not acknowledging it, can not get the required compensation for the problems?

    Well, happy Veterans Day.

    Advice for someone going into tech.

    I recently decided to go back to school and get a job in the tech industry. I'm looking at cyber security but I'm not looked into that decision.

    1. What degree would you recommend someone to pursue?

    2. What field would you recommend after graduating?

    3. What would you tell someone to avoid at all cost?
