An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Department.
Federal judge dismisses the indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case).
Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power."
The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

"What this means is that private credit balance sheets are potentially a nuclear bomb waiting to detonate."
Private equity is depicted as a ruthless, unstoppable force destined to slurp up every company in the country & bleed them dry. In reality, the industry made a huge mistake in 2022 by overvaluing their portfolio companies, and now they're desperate for a way out. Me and Moe Tkacik tell the story. 🧵
Private Equity’s Great Escape - The American Prospect
The industry bought companies for too much money and made a bunch of bad loans. Now they’re scrambling to avoid the reckoning.
