Update: After WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman was thrown to the ground, arrested by ICE, and accused of throwing objects at them, she was released without charges. It's all about intimidation, and Brockman did not relent. Thanks for being brave!

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

I did a brief search of Google and the major news websites for "Judge Diane Goodstein" and none of the corporate US news have this story.
⁉️ Why are the media silent about this horrific attack on a circuit court judge and her family, who had recently ruled against the Trump admin about voter data?

Judge Goodstein issued a TRO on September 3 blocking the State of South Carolina from handing over its full voter registration database.

I'm sure that's coincidence, though.

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

My law firm is currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states. While the legacy media focuses on other things, Trump and the GOP have launched a wholesale attack on free and fair elections.

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids.

DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members.

Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.

The Trump administration claims Jeffrey Epstein didn’t blackmail anyone. His commerce secretary just called Epstein ‘the greatest blackmailer ever.’
