NEW: The 9th Circuit has lifted Judge Immergut’s FIRST restraining order, but NOT her second one. So the national Guard still can’t be deployed to Portland despite this 9th circuit administrative stay because the SECOND TRO is still in place.

Am I reading this right? Did Trump say he took freedom of speech away?

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 6h

Flagging Trump this afternoon:

"We took the freedom of speech away. Because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech — but what has happened is, when they burn a flag it, agitates and irritates crowds."

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

The judge, for his part, warned the government that the case shouldn't get off track because of classified information issues.

Either the information will be declassified or we'll go through the "fastest CIPA process you've ever seen in your life," he said.

The government's lack of a plan prompted Comey's counsel, Fitzgerald, to say that the prosecution "put the cart before the horse."

Usually, you figure out classified information issues in consultation w/ DOJ's national security division *before* bringing a case, he said.

MORE: The government indicated that it is not yet sure how it intends to handle the potential use of classified information at trial — i.e., whether it will use the process set out in the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) or opt to declassify the information.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

The only reason that Trump is allowed to personally profit from the White House and break laws is because of Pam Bondi. She is the most corrupt AG we have seen in our lifetimes.
