Lindsey Halligan, the illegally appointed prosecutor, has been given one week to explains\ why she's still signing court documents as the US attorney for Easter Virginia. Judge David Novak (a Trump appointee) warned her that doing so could constitute false and misleading statements, adding, 'Consequently, it [the earlier ruling that declared Halligan's appointment to be illegal] remains the binding precedent in this district and is not subject to being ignored.'
Having dealt with judges and magistrates more than once in my life, this is court-speak for, 'You'd better make the explanation for this phenomenally good.'

Apparently we're at the extrajudicial execution of citizens stage of democracy.
Cool, cool.

US Vice-President JD Vance says Greenland is "critical" for the defence of the US and the world against possible Russian or Chinese missile attacks - and that Europe and Denmark have "not done a good job" in securing the area.
Vance told Fox News that they had not only under-invested in Greenland's defences, but also failed to engage with President Donald Trump's argument over the issue.

We can already do whatever we want in greenland. Been that way forever. We already violate greenlands laws and sovereignty with greenland and denmarks blessing, we float the possibility of storing our nukes in their non nuke state. This is one of those lies that's so stupid it exposes the contempt that the liars hold for the intended audience. It's the northern version of their southern border bullshit.

Are any Irish firms looking for a seasoned biomedical engineer for medical device work? And is relocation offered?
