Originally published at: Showdown Over Interim US Attorneys Brewing In Seattle
Greetings from Nashville It’s 4 a.m. here in Nashville, where I’m jamming out Morning Memo before heading over to the new federal courthouse for the vindictive prosecution hearing in the Abrego Garcia case. A special shoutout to The Hitchcock, a brand new bar about a block from the courthouse that kept Morning Memo well lubricated…

after the judges there declined to extend the initial 120-day term of Charles Neil Floyd, who is now running the office as the designated first assistant.
Some principled attorney needs to step up, since it seems like Trump is effectively getting to keep his illegally appointed ones in place!
U.S. Attorney Floyd was appointed by Attorney General Pam Bondi on September 16, 2025.

Because we’ve been well trained by the RW in using salacious content against our opponents.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol is dead
This story is absolutely gruesome. Love thy neighbor? No. Police de-escalation of a non-violent encounter? No. Relief from the legal system? No. Any shred of kindness to his family who wanted him kept in a local jail so they’d have access to him and know where he was? No. Dumped off in the middle of nowhere and left to die.
So many conservative Christians love to talk about the return of their savior, then they demonstrate that he’d be killed by a distracted driver or a roided-out cop in about 0.05 seconds.

Did David warn us he was going to Nashville so we could be prepared? Sheesh! How dare we get a Morning Memo in the Morning like this! /s
He got rid of the upfront guys first, then did some more digging and, as usual, it got more personal.
Patel ordered the wider investigation following the discovery of records showing that the FBI used subpoenas to obtain his communication records and the communications of now White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles during a 2022-2023 probe that eventually came under the leadership of special counsel Jack Smith, the people briefed on the matter said.

It’s actually shocking there are 10 non-chud employees left at the FBI. Future investigations will consist entirely of tren injections, bicep curls, and podcast recommendations.

fElon has gone pro-Ukraine? Well, perhaps something behind the scenes with his wallet. In any case, I somehow missed this from last week.
Evidence is mounting that Elon Musk’s decision to deny Russian forces access to his Starlink satellite-based internet service has blunted Moscow’s advance, caused confusion among Russian soldiers and handed an advantage to Ukraine’s defenders.
But for how long? And what can Ukraine’s military achieve in the meantime?
But in some areas of the long front line, especially east of the city of Zaporizhzhia, there is some evidence of Russian forces being forced to retreat.
Or maybe he’s waiting his other pocket to fill with cash.
ETA: Sorry, didn’t get blocked a first on BBC article, here’s one from The Guardian that’s good to go.

She’s no good with her personal items, is she? Wasn’t it Noem who had her purse stolen from a DC restaurant a few months ago?
And what the hell must be in that bag that spurred Lewandowski to break into the cockpit to threaten the pilot, then fire him, then having to retract that firing because no one else was available to fly that plane? I imagine it wasn’t her toothbrush left behind.
And how despised is Noem within her department that this is leaking?

Yes, he said at least twice that he’d be in Nashville for this hearing. What he didn’t tell us was that he was planning to pull an all-nighter, and pull it in a bar no less.

This is good, for sure, for however long it lasts. But I am deeply uncomfortable and dismayed that Musk has this much influence over war and foreign policy. No one elected him to anything.

“Filmed, but behind closed doors” really doesn’t accomplish the same as testifying in public. We’ve seen how skillfully the right has been with that already
