1/… Bower:

Trump enters the courtroom. Before arriving, he lingered for a moment in the doorway, talking to his lawyers, Emile Bove and Todd Blanche. He had a piece of paper in his hand, which he waved around as he spoke.

Wait for it….

@GottaLaff NFL - attacking her on her work in the porn industry is also bad because Stormy has been dealing with these sort of questions her entire adult life. Trump's attorneys were effectively lobbing softballs for her.

...At 2:14 p.m., Trump walks in, entourage in tow.

Boris Epshteyn just handed a piece of paper with a photo on it to Kaitlan Collins.

I thought he maybe said "Conway" to her, but I'm not exactly sure.

@GottaLaff NFL - Daniels' story was always that the encounter was one in which her consent was strictly optional. She said it was consensual, but her description always alluded to the fact that she didn't have a choice in the matter.

@GottaLaff Oh. . .yeah, that's a big no-no. The issue is mooted and can't be raised on appeal.

It's 2:09 p.m., Trump walks in with his defense team in tow.

Alan Dershowitz is still here as well.

All five members of the prosecution are already seated.

@GottaLaff NFL - I'm glad the prosecutor didn't go too far into the threats, lest they scare the jurors.

Eric Trump just swapped seats with Rep. Donalds just in time for the congressman to appear in photos behind Trump's defense table.

That's what this trial is now for Trump, a political photo opp.

@GottaLaff NFL: the thing about Cohen more than any other witness, is that he is an attorney, and absolutely has read the filings in this case and the jury instructions. He knows EXACTLY what phrases to use and when to use them.

Back in overflow, the rules are as strict as ever—even Chris Hayes

"Press credentials?" a court officer demands, as another reporter gives a good natured, "You sure you're a member of the press, Chris?"

More on the myths today. A popular Instagram account, called Cafeholic101 posted an infographic claiming a shot of espresso has only 27mg of caffeine.

I guess if it's in an infographic, it's gotta be true, right? :eyeroll: Sadly, this post has thousands of likes; another example of influencers providing false info.

Because it's utterly untrue. Well maybe the 5g coffee amounts in a nespresso pod, if brewed at very low temperatures, might be under 30mg in the cup.

Real espresso? A full double from 18.5g coffee will give 100-135mg caffeine, in the cup.

I mean, if you're going to take the whole "the grinder is the most important part of the equation" thing seriously, why not prove it. ;)

Rancilio Stile grinder paired up with a Breville Bambino Plus. The PF almost sort of works in the Stile's PF holder. 7.1sec gives 17.5g dose.

@coffeegeek @feld @espresso I don't know. Maybe I just got used to single dosing, which helps since my grinder is a df83 (version 1, Italmil burrs, camperista mod for the chute and declumper).

@feld @coffeegeek @espresso I single dose exclusively as well.

@coffeegeek @feld @espresso And how many shots do you pull in a day? I’m pulling 2-3 shots. It’s just not enough to have my coffee sitting open to the air for 3-4 days.

He’s a loon. He’s worried Presidents won’t leave office peacefully if they have immunity? That’s what this freaking case is all about.

For a long time, I have argued that one of the most important considerations as far as presidential elections go is the courts.

Even though a few people fucked us over on SCOTUS, we can’t change it. But everyone can use their vote wisely in November.

@TonyStark Unfortunately, we need Congressional action on this. Congress can either expand the Court and dilute Alito and Thomas' power, or strip the Supreme Court of all powers not specifically delineated in the Constitution.
