Bakaj: Intelligence was gathered that captured activity being conducted by someone close to the president. Gabbard was given a heads-up.

She went to Susie Wiles and discussed it.

When she returned to the DNI’s office, she directed that the intelligence not be distributed any further…

The thing that gets MAGA the most are displays of joy when they have everything and are still miserable.
Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated.

I've got fresh data illustrating the point. 1/

Trump Rages at Bad Bunny—and Accidentally Exposes a Big MAGA Weakness
MAGA’s hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are “theirs.” But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day.

Louisiana special election:

"Trump carried this district by 13 points in the 2024 cycle, fueling GOP hopes about flipping the state House seat.

Instead, the Democratic nominee prevailed — by 24 points."

This is unprecedented.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

* MURDER:
Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were preparing to start a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s shooting.

Then top administration officials intervened and ordered them to stop, triggering a wave of resignations in the process.

What is the regime trying to hide from us?

The new government spokesman for “Real Food” Mike Tyson was convicted and served time for rape.

The producer of the SB ad, Bruce Ratner, has loads of Me Too problems and was an Epstein guy.

And of course super Epstein dude Alan Dershowitz led Tyson’s unsucccessful appeal.

RFK must go.

It also points out how the cultural ignorance of much of our pundit & MSM class fails. 135 million Americans watched an important & controversial cultural event & many journalists are 1)ill-equipped to explain its significance or 2) too arrogant to know that would need assistance in unpacking it.
Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

I found the judge's opinion. You can see the judge's reasoning for believing he *did* sign the document, FWIW, but to me even if he did sign it it wasn't done fully knowingly/thoughtfully under these circumstances. (And the Court explains why it believes there never should have been a bond hearing.)
