Hello and welcome to The Daily Beans for Tuesday, April 18th, 2023.

Today, there is no settlement in the Dominion Fox News case, and the trial starts today.

Trump Acolyte, Ali Alexander, has admitted to soliciting new photos from teenage boys.

Senate Republicans are blocking a bid to replace Diane Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee.

Clarence Thomas will amend his financial disclosure forms,

and the speaker of the Tennessee House is breaking the law. I'm Alison Gill, and I'm Dana Goldberg.

Woohoo, welcome back. Oh my gosh, it is so good to be back. I missed you. I missed the beans.

I just it's weird when I'm when I'm gone for so long, and I hope I can still read out loud.

We're going to practice reading out loud today. Yeah, today should be fun. Today should be fun.

So just bear with me. It's been a while since a mic was in front of my face. That wasn't

comedy coming out of my mouth, but I'm just so happy to be home.

They'll still be comedy coming. There's always comedy coming. There will still be comedy coming

out of my face. Yep, we cannot stop the face comedy. No, but I hope you had a great birthday,

and I hope you had some great time away. I did. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We all

missed you very, very much, and I'm so glad you're back. Lots of court stuff going on,

including the judge Dana in the aging Carol case refusing Trump's demands.
