[b]Letitia James’ Lawyers Hit Lindsey Halligan for ‘Unusual’ Texts to a Reporter—They also signaled that they plan to challenge the legality of Halligan’s appointment.[/b]
“James’ defense lawyers on Thursday asked a federal judge to reprimand Halligan for texting a reporter earlier this month — only to have the journalist expose the conversation — a move they called “an unusual and improper occurrence” that violated strict court and Justice Department rules against revealing details about criminal cases.”
…
“
But James and her lawyers are cranking up the heat even further, telling the judge in a separate filing that they’re also going to call into question Halligan’s appointment as U.S. Attorney on Friday — thus adopting the same legal tactic as the former FBI director recently did in his criminal case.”

[b]Judge intensifies oversight of agents in Trump's Chicago immigration crackdown—top official required to appear in court daily. [/b]
“A U.S. judge on Tuesday intensified her monitoring of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in Chicago, requiring a top official to appear daily in court and ordering his agency to detail the use of force by its agents including firing tear gas at protesters and bystanders and to hand over body-camera video.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis during a hearing chastised Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino over his agency's actions in the third-largest U.S. city and told him to get a body camera to wear himself. Ellis had summoned him to appear at the hearing after he was seen on video last week tossing a tear gas canister at protesters during an enforcement action in a neighborhood with many immigrants from Mexico.”

[b]Toddler time: Trump terminates Canada trade talks again after Ontario runs ad featuring Reagan.[/b]
“The ad, which Ontario's premier, Doug Ford, posted on X, begins with Reagan saying, "When someone says, 'Let’s impose tariffs on foreign imports,' it looks like they’re doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs, and sometimes for a short while it works, but only for a short time."
"But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer," he continues in the ad.
"Then the worst happens, markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down, and millions of people lose their jobs," Reagan says in the 1987 radio address delivered from Camp David, Maryland.”

[b]Consumer prices in September rise to a pace not seen since January.[/b]
“Though the 3 percent pace was slightly below economists’ expectations, Friday’s report is the latest to demonstrate that inflation hasn’t gone away and remains stubbornly above fed norms. The long stretch of above-average increases has left the cost of everyday goods and services about 25 percent higher than before the pandemic.”
