Big news day to hard launch some personal news…
After seven wonderful years with NBC News, I recently began covering legal affairs for @MSNBC and @VersantMedia. I’m honored to join this smart team and continue to cover important stories. DM me tips!
MS NOW is updating #MSSEN to “Lean Democratic” based on these numbers and an analysis of the outstanding votes.

NEW via @CarolLeonnig @MSPaulaReid @KDilanianMSNOW @caseyagannon —
Amid a wave of high-level departures, a senior DOJ official warned U.S. attorneys across the country to either get on a “wartime footing” for President Donald Trump’s final two years or consider leaving, according to two people with knowledge of the meeting.

JUST IN: The Kennedy family has jumped into the fight to block Trump's arch, arguing the arch would literally cast a shadow over the graves of both JFK and RFK at Arlington National Cemetery
Another massive departure from DOJ
Today I accepted the resignation of Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate of the Civil Division. Under his leadership, the Division pursued important affirmative litigation to challenge sanctuary policies and delivered key wins in lawsuits against local policies that endangered federal law enforcement. The Division also secured historic settlements to end illegal corporate DEI practices and shuttered dozens of clinics which were providing so-called “gender affirming care” to minors. We are grateful for Brett’s service at DOJ and wish him continued success.

Lots of resignations from DOJ in the last 24 hours, but this one is huge news for the “grand conspiracy” probe
United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quiñones submitted his resignation from the Department of Justice. We are grateful for Jason’s leadership in combatting violent crime, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and transnational crime, including the indictment of Raúl Castro. Jason has served the Department multiple times over his distinguished career, and we thank him for his service to this country.
Midterms are over and now the Trump administration is back to work… or not.
Judge Chutkan blocked construction of Trump’s triumphal arch for at least 14 days shortly after it was approved by a commission.

"They count once, and that’s it...There’s no legal basis for a judge to order a recount,” a Democratic source told MS NOW. “None.”
Latest dispatch from Jackson, Mississippi

JACKSON, Miss.— Scott Colom is leading the U.S. Senate race by 1,138 votes. Right now, lawyers are preparing for a possible recount— in a state that doesn’t actually have a provision for one.
Several lawyers for Elias Law Group are on the ground here, working to figure out how many provisional ballots are outstanding in each county.
MS NOW, CNN and Politico are now asking a federal judge to also restore access to other areas where the president regularly engages with the press, including the Oval Office and Air Force One.

A two-word introduction to House Oversight--and potentially the Epstein investigation--for the 120th Congress.
Another twist in the election worker threats appeal.

Whiplash in this case, but this latest ruling from the full Ninth Circuit means there is no longer a court order barring the Trump administration from threatening state and local election workers.
NEW: Ninth Circuit judges vote 6-5 to reinstate block of broad injunction prohibiting threats against election workers. Chief Judge Murguia dissents, noting, "the district court properly attempted to put a stop to Defendants’ efforts to intimidate election workers into abandoning lawful state election procedures through spurious threats of prosecution."
