“We see the same trends globally: rule of law abused by those in control, free media silenced, critics imprisoned, and societies pushed towards authoritarian rule and militarisation. In 2024, more elections were held than ever before, but fewer and fewer are free and fair.”

It appears that her niece used to live at the property in the indictment (her current address matches the zip in the Pulte referral). Aside from the Second Home Rider being flimsy, I’d also think renting to family (probably without much profit), will be viewed differently than an investment property

I’m saying the niece used to live at the property in the indictment - 3121 Peronne Ave. If the DOJ indicted James over renting to her niece, I understand why other attorneys did not want to bring charges (aside from other issues with the case).

The niece’s current address matches the zip code in the referral that Pulte sent over; the past address at 3121 Peronne Ave is the property in the indictment.

I wonder if she rented this property to her niece prior to the 2023 co-purchase?

Could a property management company qualify under that description? Here’s the Second Home Rider; it seems like there’s quite a bit of wiggle room here.

“…or unless extenuating circumstances exist that are beyond Borrower’s control.”

Thank you for explaining all this, Steve! I saw at the round table event earlier today that Trump is floating the idea of labeling Antifa as a FTO. Is he able to do that, and if so, I’m guessing it makes this spectacle a whole lot worse?

I’m sure it’s no coincidence that the people he constantly refers to as low IQ also happen to be Black.

Great piece by @stevevladeck.bsky.social here (his insight on these matters is always appreciated)!

“Until this year, Congress’s 230-year-old choice had been borne out. Presidents of both parties have been especially careful to use the military domestically…”

The federal government does and should have the authority to deploy troops into our cities—even without local consent—*when the circumstances actually warrant it.*

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com, me on why the real issue in Portland, Chicago, and elsewhere is the missing / contrived factual predicate:
