NM friends not on X - I'm still waiting on NM AG Torrez' exhibits attached to his Petition to remove DA Martin. It's mind blowing that they didn't have a redacted version of the petition plus exhibits available for public viewing.

New Mexico lawmakers weighing changes to understaffed police misconduct board The Law Enforcement Certification Board is missing most of its staff and currently lacks a board chair and executive director.

The board tasked with investigating police misconduct in NM is only two years old and understaffed. They haven't done a single thing regarding the SF Sheriff's Office misconduct that resulted in the dismissal with prejudice of Alec Baldwin's case.

Will let you know. I'm excited for your live with TB! Can you ask if he's followed the Rust case? There are so many overlaps with the investigation and prosecutions. Would love to hear his take on Seth Kenney! A Runkle x TB rewatch of Baldwin's final trial day would be awesome.

Rust update: Rust crew members (the Addiego et al case) allegedly settled with Rust Movie Productions (exec producer Ryan Smith) and Baldwin/El Dorado last week. The docket indicates a joint motion to dismiss WITH PREJUDICE was filed on Wednesday. Will see what I can find out.

Haha! Thank you that actually made me laugh out loud. 😂

I know. My research was primarily for the revision of an administrative law treatise. Pretty harmless.

Ugh this is messed up. I've visited this location on several occasions. Mostly for research and writing on independent government agencies including several he and Elon tried to eliminate.

"The car thought it saw someeeeethingggg" Does she realize how ridiculous that sounds?

Bob Alessi and David Yannetti: Live Interview YouTube video by Runkle Of The Bailey

In case you missed it: m.youtube.com/watch?v=YuiI...

No surprise. She predates the MPRE (Multistate Prof Responsibility Exam) and her televised interviews are a prime example of her total disregard of the ethics rules.

Public defender's suit alleges DA moving cases up courts to avoid Spanish translation Defendants are losing rights in the shuffle, attorneys say, including a guaranteed right to a jury trial and the right to an automatic appeal.

If you're from NM please read this. FJDA Carmack-Altwies & crew are strategically moving misdemeanor DWI cases from Magistrate to District Court. Why? To avoid court certified transcriptions in cases with Spanish speaking defendants.

This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen

SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft explodes midflight for a second time, disrupting Florida air traffic | CNN SpaceX pulled off the rocket booster catch maneuver during its eighth test flight but the Starship spacecraft exploded over the Caribbean, according to reports from residents.

I've had several flights to South FL delayed or cancelled thanks to SpaceX BS. The launches and landings regularly disrupt evening flight traffic and patterns along the east coast. It's very disruptive. FAA will order reroutes then SpaceX reschedules. So inefficient.

Is this a new Sheriff's Office podium? It's a bit busy. The lettering is kind of hard to read. Who thought that style of cursive was a good idea?

I'm still waiting for the remaining test results for Gene and Betsy may they rest in peace. That said, I was on the rez as a kid during the 1993 hantavirus. I'm sure many outside the region are frantically googling hantavirus. For those interested: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Fo...
