Somebody is robbing the widow and the estate blind. Anybody competent to file a libel suit knows the claims die with the plaintiff, even if the plaintiff was alive when the suit was brought.Even amazing lawyers can't change the fact that deceased individuals (or their estates) cannot bring defamation lawsuits. pic.twitter.com/r3XID76sBK

There’s a lawsuit against the FBI on this issue. The sensible (read: adult) response would be to decline to discuss matters that are a subject of litigation.Kash Patel starts yelling over Adam Schiff as he asks him a series of questions about whether FBI agents have been fired simply because they worked in the J6 or other Trump cases pic.twitter.com/am9gDwTv1V

With predictable results:Schiff to Patel: "There are victims, like Virginia Giuffre, who have testified otherwise, and you're telling the American people today that Epstein's list is a single name and it's Jeffrey Epstein. That's what we're to believe?" pic.twitter.com/4TR50a0chs

And shocking no one, Trump just found out what day it is.WOW -- a screaming Patel crashes out in response to Schiff's questions about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and calls him "the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate" and "an utter coward" and "political buffoon" pic.twitter.com/kxYJUraPba

“Shockingly, I have just learned, that Gavin Newscum, the Governor of California, is in final stages of approval to build Low Income Housing in Pacific Palisades," Trump wrote. "How unfair is that to the people that have suffered so much! Newscum allowed their houses to burn by not accepting Hundreds of Millions of Gallons of Water from the Pacific Northwest, and now, the Low Income Housing starts rising long before he gets Permits for California Citizens to rebuild, but long after the Federal Permits were issued."Pretty sure all of that is as divorced from reality as the repeated claim Trump “released the water” that would have put out the Pacific Palisades fires.
Trump also tried to draw a confusing parallel between former New York City Mayor John Lindsay (who died in 2000) and Newsom's efforts to bring affordable housing to the neighborhood and greater Los Angeles County, which has an ongoing housing crisis amid a costly market and less inventory following the fires.
"Lee Zeldin, EPA Administrator, and I, as President, have done the job, and produced all Permits long before anybody expected that to happen," Trump wrote. "Unfortunately, the Governor of California and Mayor Karen Bass failed you. Gavin Newscum’s plan to build Low Income Housing (at the Super Luxury Pacific Palisades Fire Site) is what caused the destruction of the Late, Great New York City Mayor John Lindsay’s Political Career — and John Lindsay was a Republican."
It's unclear what Trump is referring to or comparing in his mention of Lindsay's efforts during his two terms serving New York City residents (1966 to 1973) and the sprawling Los Angeles area in the year 2025.
These days you've got to take into account that the Roberts Court is just making stuff up and totally disregarding whatever even they said in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided they could sue on his behalf, six to three. Especially if there was something in it for them.
