That powerful principle of the First Amendment applies here." But the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that the First Amendment allows the press to publish newsworthy information that was legally obtained by reporters even when those in power fight to keep it hidden. When the Times published its extensive reporting on Trump's tax returns in September 2020, then-editor Dean Baquet wrote, "Some will raise questions about publishing the president's personal tax information. As we've said previously, ProPublica doesn't know the identity of the source who provided this trove of information on the taxes paid by the wealthiest Americans." The New York Times declined to comment on Littlejohn's charges last month and Pro Publica said in a statement to CBS News, "We have no comment on today's announcement from the DOJ. She said that while Trump opposed any plea deal with the defendant, if it's accepted, Littlejohn should serve the maximum sentence. The "egregious breach" of Trump's tax records, Habba alleged, was likely not carried out by Littlejohn alone and could have cost him votes in the 2020 election. Trump's attorney and legal spokesperson, Alina Habba, spoke in court on the president's behalf and called Littlejohn's admitted conduct an "atrocity." "When we have people who for whatever reason take the law into their own hands, society doesn't function properly," the judge also warned. Larry Wilson is on the Southern California News Group editorial board.Reyes told Littlejohn the law shielding tax records from public view that he admitted he violated dated back to the Nixon administration's improper use of the tax records of then-President Richard Nixon's political opponents. Rescind regulations “prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, transgender status, sex characteristics, etc.” Expand presidential powers by embracing the “unitary executive theory” of government: dictatorial. Ignore the 14th Amendment by saying the Census counts citizens, not “the whole number of persons in each state.” Ban pornography. Sure, that worked so well for so many years. Key other aspects of Project 2025, the blueprint being drawn up for the wannabe if he were re-elected:īan the abortion pill, as part of the general effort to ban abortion federally, and then go after contraception itself by instead encouraging the old rhythm method of avoiding fertility. ![]() Replacing the “Deep State” with political appointees who would do one president’s bidding, as Trump wants to do, is the road to authoritarianism. We are right now drilling for oil at the highest rate in our history, at over 13 million barrels a day. The United States is drilling like monsters. The border is too long not to have gaps in this trillion-dollar boondoggle. Those dictatorial things Trump says he’d do on that one teeny-tiny day - so ridiculous to think he’d hold the line there. Who knew it would be a general leading the charge to not give in to the wannabe dictator’s return? Now, that’s the spirit, in these dispiriting times. “If we’re willing to die” for the Constitution, Milley says of those who serve, “then we are willing to live for it too.” So our former top military leader now has to have a personal security detail in private life because a man who wants to be president wants him dead. That encouraged a Trumper Arizona congressman to agree, saying Milley ought to be hanged. So, he’d like to kill the chair of the joint chiefs. Then, after hearing that the general had felt it necessary to assure his Chinese counterpart that, no, rhetoric to the contrary, Trump wasn’t planning a nuclear attack on his nation, Trump wrote of Milley’s diplomacy: “an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH.” District Judge Tanya Chutkan's gag order in the special counsel's federal election interference case. He did not call out Trump by name during his remarks. Circuit Court of Appeals has largely upheld U.S. “We don’t take an oath to a king, or queen, or tyrant or dictator, and we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator,” Milley said in his retirement speech about those who serve in the armed forces. Take it instead from a man who had the misfortune of having to serve under the ex, former Army General and Chair of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley. Which is the term of office he, like his friend in the Kremlin, would like to be dictator for. So, no, it doesn’t matter what he says, much. So when he says, as he did last week, his goal in his quest to return to the White House is not to be a dictator, except, like, on Day One, so just a little bit of dictatoring, you can believe it precisely as much as you can believe anything else he says. I mean, really don’t, ever - that man dishes out so much fabulism that he ought to be in pictures. ![]() In-line replies can also be “popped out” to the composer panel to apply additional options like scheduling. The panel closes automatically as you send a tweet, but can be optionally set to stay open at all times, making composing a new tweet a much quicker process. Instead of a popup window, the new composer has a column of its own with all of the usual options. Speaking of the tweet composer, it has been overhauled in this version.

The new version finally adds support for autocompletion of usernames when mentioning other users. Twitter updated its TweetDeck app for Mac today with a few new enhancements.

The muted user will still be able to fave, reply to, and retweet your Tweets you just won’t see any of that activity in your timeline. Muting a user on Twitter means their Tweets and Retweets will no longer be visible in your home timeline, and you will no longer receive push or SMS notifications from that user. In the same way you can turn on device notifications so you never miss a Tweet from your favorite users, you can now mute users you’d like to hear from less. The mute feature allows users to block out Tweets and Retweets from individual people in their timelines without actually unfollowing those users. Images from a limited test period, Twitter has officially begun rolling out mute functionality to its iOS, Android, and Web applications. – Multiphoto inprovements for large columns – Removing time from a scheduled tweet now removes that Tweet from the Scheduled column. – Retweeting a Tweet with emoji no longer scrambles Tweet contents You can now find locally trending topics for Regions and Cities, and add a column based on the trend. – Fixes issue with empty columns after computer wakes from sleep.

The unfortunate truth? Not even the developers know. So what’s going on here? Why has it taken two years for any more news of the update? When will the new version finally be available? The developers have noted that the 5.0 update for Mac is facing big delays. Three days shy of a year after releasing the iPhone update, however, users were given what is currently the app’s most recent update. The Iconfactory, Twitterrific’s developers, promised that a Mac version of the updated app was in development and would include support for the new iCloud syncing feature and an all-new design. In December 2012, Twitterrific 5 was released for iOS devices. It’s currently on its fourth major version. To this day it remains a popular choice among users and has seen many major updates and redesigns. It was also the first app to use the word “tweet” to refer to the posts on the network, and introduced many modern staples like conversations and replies. Twitterrific has been around for quite a while now, and was the very first native Twitter application ever built for Mac. Right below Twitter for Mac you’ll find Twitterrific. You may recognize the official Twitter app along with some of the most popular and prolific third-party clients. If you open the Mac App Store right now and do a search for “twitter,” you’ll find results just like the ones in the image above. Povidone-Iodine (“tamed” iodine) and chlorhexidine are probably the most commonly used cleansing agents in equine wound care. ![]() There’s some evidence that it might even reduce the rate of infection. Hypertonic saline solution (20 percent) is very effective at reducing bacterial numbers, but it is traumatic to normal tissue and probably should be avoided for lavaging wounds in most cases.Ī good body of research in human medicine, most recently complied in 2012 by the UK Cochrane Collaboration, indicates that tap water-perhaps counterintuitive due to the fact that it is hypotonic-is a good lavage solution. Even so, isotonic solution is acidic, and a polyionic solution such as lactated Ringer’s solution arguably would be even better. Wound IrrigationĪ solution of approximately 0.9 percent sodium chloride (isotonic saline) has been shown to reduce infection rates in human emergency rooms, as has 1 percent povidone-iodine solutions. Using procedures and products that minimize wound trauma and chemical damage to cells should be the goal of every equine practitioner. In human medicine, it’s been said that you should never put anything onto a wound that you wouldn’t put into your own eye. ![]() Thus, the risks, benefits and costs of various techniques must be considered prior to using any approach. While undoubtedly important, cleaning a wound causes additional mechanical trauma, and the cleaning process may introduce potentially cytotoxic agents to the wound surface. Proper wound care includes removal of any necrotic tissue and debris while, at the same, time reducing bacterial contamination on the surface. ![]() It’s always a good idea for any practitioner to know what effect a wound care product will have on a wound prior to using it. ACVS, gave a presentation on “What You Should and Should Not Put on Wounds,” from which most of this article is drawn. Unfortunately, many of them lack evidence of safety or effectiveness, and some can even cause harm.Īt the American Association of Equine Practitioners conference in December, Colorado State University’s Dean Hendrickson, DVM, MS, Dipl. To help with those responsibilities, a seemingly endless number of products are said to help promote wound healing.
