The Massachusetts Air National Guardsman who is accused of posting a trove of classified documents to social media asked a judge to reconsider his detention on Monday, pointing out that he is charged with the same federal counts as former President Donald Trump and that prosecutors did not oppose Trump’s release.
In May, a Massachusetts judge ruled that 21-year-old Jack Teixeira would be held in jail while he awaits trial for charges under the Espionage Act after prosecutors argued he callously mishandled highly sensitive national security information during his short tenure in the National Guard. The magistrate judge, David Hennessy, said that Teixeira posed a continued threat to national security.
Teixeira’s lawyers argued in a new filing on Monday that a judge should reverse a decision to keep Teixeira detained, pointing to several other criminal defendants who were released while awaiting trial, including Trump and his co-defendant Walt Nauta.

I'm a sucker for these spy stories, cool. Yesterday I saw another weird one. This one sounds like a honeytrap:16 years - I wonder if others can expect a similar sentence.
Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira agreed Monday that he caused one of the most extraordinary leaks of national defense secrets in years and agreed to accept a prison sentence of 16 years -- what could be the longest sentence in an unlawful retention case.
According to the signed plea agreement filed with the court, Teixeira, 22, agreed to plead guilty to all six counts charging him with willful retention and transmission of national defense information. In exchange, prosecutors agreed not to charge him with additional counts under the Espionage Act.
Teixeira "accessed and printed hundreds of classified documents" and posted images of them on Discord prior to his arrest last April, a prosecutor said Monday during a hearing in Boston federal court, where the Air National Guardsman pleaded guilty.
Teixeira entered court in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit with the initials PCCF on the back, for Plymouth County Correctional Facility, and appeared to smile at his father, who was seated in the second row.

There was an item about ketamine on the BBC TV news today. Bristol is a hotspot for Ket-related bladder damage. It's horrific.This is more tragic than stupid. I've read a lot about addiction and drugs (purely out of morbid fascination, fortunately) but I didn't know about this horrible side effect of ketamine:
But four months later, Sophie relapsed.She adds: “I’d been clean for 16 weeks but was still going to the toilet every hour, it was excruciating and, in the end, I gave in. I was a mess, drugs were all I cared about. My poor gran was so upset but I couldn’t control it.
“I took ketamine every day and worked in a bar to fund it. I was so ill, my kidneys, my back and my stomach were excruciating, I felt like someone was torturing me.”
In July 2013, Sophie was rushed into hospital after she collapsed at home.
Doctors warned her that her kidneys were failing and they fitted a catheter to drain her urine.
She says: “They told me I had Stage-3 liver disease and the damage I’d done was life-threatening. I broke down.”
A scan showed Sophie’s bladder had 40mm holes in it and surgeons told her there was nothing they could do to save it.
Sophie is now waiting for an operation to remove the bits of her bladder that remain, and takes painkillers daily to help with the pain.
