For years, the right-wing fabulist has been in a court battle with the parents of the young children murdered in the Sandy Hook massacre. The surviving parents are suing Jones for false claims that the school shooting never happened. Most people facing a lawsuit from such sympathetic plaintiffs would respond by showing humility and remorse. Jones, however, has turned this situation into a clown show by refusing court orders to turn over evidence, not showing up for trial, and going on air regularly to tell even more defamatory lies about the families and the judge presiding over the case. [Read the rest from Amanda Marcotte.](~/AASU4wA~/RgRkz31HP0R0aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tLzIwMjIvMDgvMDQvYWxleC1qb25lcy1idXN0ZWQtaG93LXRoZS1zYW5keS1ob29rLXRyaWFsLWNvdWxkLWxlYWQtdG8tYWNjb3VudGFiaWxpdHktZm9yLWRvbmFsZC9XA3NwY0IKYutI-Oxi8xZ3HVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo) (JASON CONNOLLY/AFP via Getty Images) “It’s about damn time”: DOJ charges 4 Louisville cops in deadly Breonna Taylor raid Following two years of racial justice activism, the U.S. government on Thursday charged four current and former Louisville, Kentucky officers for alleged federal crimes related to the March 2020 killing of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old unarmed Black woman who was shot dead in her own home during a botched police raid.
