A pro-life activist whose 2022 arrest by the FBI under the Biden administration drew national headlines has reached a seven-figure settlement after suing the Justice Department over his arrest and prosecution. Mark Houck filed a lawsuit against the department in 2023 seeking restitution for what he called "a faulty investigation" and "excessive force" after a SWAT team of around 25 people arrested him in front of his children at his home on September 23, 2022, allegedly with guns drawn.

CURRENTLY TRENDING ON LOCAL SOCIAL MEDIA: POT SHOP, HOME INVASION, LOW BAIL ISSUES, ETC. ETC. ETC.

Many of us are not on social media but we often get to hear about it and are sometimes sent screenshots. Currently trending on local pages/sites:

--Ring-cam photos of the home invader/burglar were posted by the homeowner; the terror is palpable; there's been lots of standard media coverage now of the event including a village press release (see here for more) but very hot discussion of the low bail---$500--immigration status, etc.

--Much discussion of the "fait accompli" planning board approval of what is being described as a "24 hour 7 days a week pot shop". Some parents saying they will have no choice but to remove their children from local daycare/music school businesses. Much discussion of the Harckham Marijuana Tax Bill

--Lots of discussion about anonymous facebook postings and bots. No point in going further.

IN THE NEWS--BOASBERG FACES NEW CALL FOR IMPEACHMENT AFTER APPEALS COURT ORDERS JUDGE TO END "CONTEMPT CRUSADE" AGAINST TRUMP OFFICIALS

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) called on House Republicans Tuesday to impeach District Judge James Boasberg after a federal appeals court ordered the jurist to end his criminal contempt probe against Trump administration officials.  The majority on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals found Boasberg’s efforts to bring contempt charges against former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other top executive branch officials – over their involvement in the deportation of hundreds of suspected Tren De Aragua gang members to El Salvador last March – were a “clear abuse of discretion,” “intrusive” and a “legal dead end.”

“The DC Circuit ruled Boasberg’s contempt crusade against Trump officials is an ‘improper investigation’ and ‘clear abuse of discretion,’” Schmitt wrote on X. more at Boasberg faces new call for impeachment after appeals court orders judge to end ‘contempt crusade’ against Trump officials
