Chinese natives offer a little insight. They've seen it before:

The Marxist-run Columbia University reaps what it sowed: Communist revolutionaries, who are now turning Columbia into a “People’s University”!  The Chinese Red Guards knew best what a “People’s University” was all about: ouster those in power, put them through struggle sessions, take over the campus, and spread the revolution to the larger society, which is the story of the Chinese Cultural Revolution!

They are American "Red Guards". Mao's Cultural Revolution started at Beijing Univ. & quickly spread to the whole country. Sadly, more than 50% of Americans don't know what we are fighting against.

Trump trial: Judge to decide if former president violated gag order

.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will urge a judge on Tuesday at a hearing to hold Donald Trump in criminal contempt for allegedly violating a gag order in the former president’s hush money case in New York.

Bragg has claimed Trump violated the order at least 10 times and has argued to Judge Juan Merchan that a contempt finding should be accompanied by sanctions of $1,000 per gag order violation and a warning that additional violations would result in a punishment of prison time.

Merchan appeared poised to consider holding Trump in contempt seriously after he scheduled the hearing on the matter and ordered Trump’s attorneys to respond in writing ahead of the hearing with reasons why the former president should not be penalized for his comments.

Merchan issued the gag order on April 1, effectively banning Trump from speaking about witnesses in the case, prosecutors and their families, and court staff and their families.

While Merchan acknowledged in the order that courts are “understandably concerned” about Trump’s right to free speech, the judge said Trump’s verbal attacks on those involved in his legal proceedings served to intimidate witnesses or officials and therefore interfered with the court process.

“The People provide a plethora of compelling arguments in support of their claim that Defendant’s conduct is deliberate and intended to intimidate this Court and impede the orderly administration of this trial,” Merchan wrote.

On April 15, prosecutors filed three examples of alleged gag order violations, which involved Trump making references to Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels, two known witnesses in the case who are both aggressively outspoken about Trump in their own rights.

Columbia couldn't find a non-Middle Easterner for the job? What a surprise that she turns out to be anti-Jew.

Obsequious congressmen like Keating went to Kiev to accept Zelensky's thank$ for the new allotment of cash (whatever form that may have taken).
Again, why give VZ a list in person of the pro-Ukraine congressional voters when, as Timber Rattler pointed out, it's a matter of public record?

Congressman Bill Keating
@USRepKeating
Today in Kyiv I handed President @ZelenskyyUa a copy of the vote totals from Saturday's affirmation of U.S. support for Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression.

Congress never authorized sending troops to Niger. Last year, I was right to demand their withdrawal. If Niger doesn’t want us there, why waste our money and risk our troops’ lives for a hostile country? @POTUS, bring them home now!

Space / After Months of Gibberish, Voyager 1 Is Communicating Well Again
« Last post by Elderberry on Today at 01:02:04 pm »
Scientific American By Meghan Bartels 4/22/2024

NASA scientists spent months coaxing the 46-year-old Voyager 1 spacecraft back into healthy communication

After months of nonsensical transmissions from humanity’s most distant emissary, NASA’s iconic Voyager 1 spacecraft is finally communicating intelligibly with Earth again.

Voyager 1 launched in 1977, zipped past Jupiter and Saturn within just a few years and has been trekking farther from our sun ever since; the craft crossed into interstellar space in 2012. But in mid-November 2023 Voyager 1’s data transmissions became garbled, sending NASA engineers on a slow quest to troubleshoot the distant spacecraft. Finally, that work has paid off, and NASA has clear information on the probe’s health and status, the agency announced on April 22.

“It’s the most serious issue we’ve had since I’ve been the project manager, and it’s scary because you lose communication with the spacecraft,” said Suzanne Dodd, Voyager project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in an interview with Scientific American when the team was still tracking down the issue.

So why would Keating need to do that, IF true?  It's already a matter of public record...just do a web search for the final vote.

Best guess is that they will be invited to some "thank you" function at the Ukrainian embassy in DC or get an invite to Kyiv for personal thanks by Zelensky.  That's what I would do if I was him.

:yowsa: Exactly! Such thanks to include fists full of $$$ (Sicilian handshakes)!
