I argue here that Trump already has key national security agencies--DOJ, FBI, CIA--involved in the plot to subvert free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028. Teed up behind them are DOD and, importantly, DHS. One reason today's fight against ICE is so crucial.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

The arrest of Don Lemon is yet another piece of evidence that America is being held hostage by a criminal and a regime that could not care less about the 1st Amendment & the Constitution. In this 250th year of our republic, we need every American who cares about keeping it to stand up & speak out.
