Federal government attorneys have long argued against Diddy's $50 million bail package, claiming it, quote, "...does not come close to ensuring the security of the community." They believe there's sufficient evidence to say that Combs may interfere with the case or even try to flee before the trial, which is set for May 2025.

And they've talked about an alleged quote, pattern of violence toward women and his own staff. Now Combs defense attorneys are arguing he's been unconstitutionally held in jail. and effectively silenced since he was first arrested back in September.

They go on to claim the government has launched a campaign against Combs to prevent him from getting a fair trial and that their client is quote, not required to sit idly by and acquiesce to all of this.

with around-the-clock security at a three-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, is expected to make a decision on bail by Thanksgiving. Right now, it's Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, 1.41 p.m., and there's been no word yet. So once we get that, we will update you ASAP.

Of course, if Diddy is still in jail on Thanksgiving, which honestly at this point looks increasingly likely, then you might be wondering what he'll be eating. Luckily, much of the world's media has also wondered the same thing, and it's been revealed that it's honestly looking pretty basic for the special day.

Should Diddy spend the holiday at his current location, the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, then People magazine have reported that Combs will go for breakfast at 6 a.m. And he'll have fruit, cereal and the nonspecific sounding breakfast pastries on Thursday, November 28th.

And if that breakfast wasn't filling enough, at 11 a.m., lunch is set to include roast turkey or hot and sour tofu for the vegans and vegetarians, with side dishes of mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, and the ever-delicious dinner rolls. And while that does sound like typical Thanksgiving food, obviously it's probably nowhere near his mom's home-cooked meal.

And I know what you're all thinking. That all sounds pretty good, Kayla, but will there be holiday pie? And yes, there will be because holiday pie is on the menu. I don't know what kind, but there will be pie. And look, I know Thanksgiving dinner is typically much earlier than regular dinner time. My family's probably eating around 3 p.m., but this Thanksgiving dinner is at 11 a.m.

So that is much, much earlier than we'll probably all be having our Thanksgiving meals. Then shortly after the 4 p.m. headcount, a very sad dinner of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, potato chips, whole wheat bread and fruit will be dished up to all the inmates. So after hearing all of that, those three pleas for bail really are seeming much more understandable now, aren't they?
