Bite me, Musk. Progressive political commentator (print, radio, podcasts) for years. I post a lot: breaking news + legit info you can use, prone to snark. My mini Australian Labradoodle, Hamilton, has trained me well. Now where's my trough of wine? 🍷🇺🇸🇨🇦 #Progressive #USPolitics #VotingRights #legal #WomensRights #CivilRights #BLM #climate #Canada #journalists #politics #news #LGBTQ #DogsOfMastodon

Oy. When one side does not meet, it is hard to confer. This legitimizes defense delay tactic.

Andrew Feinberg:

JUST IN: Judge #Cannon has denied the #DOJ motion for a protective order over classified discovery because the defence and prosecution haven’t adequately conferred on the matter. DOJ can ask for one again once they’ve conferred with #Trump/#Nauta attorneys.
