Trump is a provocateur. He is purposely deploying troops to American cities to deliberately provoke incidents that could lead to a broader manufactured crisis of HIS own making. It is purposely designed to normalize his authoritarian rule. This is to intimidate the political opposition. Call it out!

Jennifer and I mourn the loss of CALFIRE Riverside County Fire Department Apparatus Engineer Daniel Cook. We offer our most sincere condolences during this difficult time.

In honor of Engineer Cook, I’ve ordered flags at the State Capitol to be flown at half-staff.

Drugmakers plan to raise U.S. prices on at least 350 branded medications — including vaccines against COVID, RSV and shingles, and the blockbuster cancer treatment Ibrance. That’s up from the same point last year, when drugmakers unveiled plans for raises on more than 250 drugs.

Holy fuck! Showing ZERO fear of retribution from a vengeance-obsessed TRAITOR who attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, usurp the constitution, and overthrow the U.S. government, Jack Smith, with ZERO fucks left to give is what a badass American hero looks like.

Now imagine those words spoken by Special Counsel Smith in a criminal trial.

Damning proof of criminal guilt.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?

Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Donald Trump’s lying again.

He lost in court when Illinois stood up against his attempt to militarize American cities with the National Guard. Now Trump is forced to stand down.

Jack Smith: “Our case was built on, frankly, Republicans who put their allegiance to the country before the party.”

Trump also had a “pattern” of rejecting information that didn’t fit his false narrative.

Jim Jordan staffer: Why did you subpoena Jim Jordan's phone records?

Because Mark Meadows told us he had never seen Jim Jordan scared before.

legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
Q The team's work, the prosecutor's work. So you subpoenaed Speaker 20 McCarthy's toll records after he became Speaker, and you sought records from 21 November 2020 through January 8th, 2021. What were you looking for with his records? 22 Like what did you do with the information you obtained? 23 A Okay. So the relevance of those records, there would be several examples, 24 but his contacts with either co-conspirators, the President, or conduits of information to the 25 President was relevant to our investigation. An example I could give you is, on January 6th, wu 1 we had information from Mark Meadows, who was present for a call where Congressman 2 McCarthy was asking for help. He was asking the President to come to his aid while the 3 Capitol was being seized. a Getting the exact tol records for when that happened was relevant for our 5 investigation both to question other witnesses about it so we had an accurate timeline and 6 also to corroborate that the call happened at approximately the time witnesses said it 7 happened. 8 Q Butts pretty significant to subpoena the Speaker of theHouse's toll records, 9 right? 10 A We followed Department policy, and we followed all legal requirements in 11 getting those records. 2 Q 1mean, you know, to get the information you're looking for, nobody disputed 13 the Speaker and the President were having communications on January 6th. So one way. 14 you could have gotten that information is you could have asked the Speaker's lawyer to look 15 at his phone records and to give you the information you needed, right? 6 A Well, you say now that nobody is disputing, but my experience in criminal 17 investigations i that people often at trial dispute things that you never thought were going 18 tobein dispute during the investigation, and so, when | conduct a criminal investigation, | 19 don'tassume there will be no disputes.

Smith: I think who should be accountable for this is Donald Trump. These records exist because, in the case of the senators, Donald Trump directed his co-conspirators to call these people to further delay the proceedings. He chose to do that.

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

Trump announces he’s pulling the National Guard from Portland, LA, and Chicago but threatens that “We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again - Only a question of time!”
We are removing the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, despite the fact that CRIME has been greatly reduced by having these great Patriots in those cities, and ONLY by that fact. Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago were GONE if it weren’t for the Federal Government stepping in. We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again - Only a question of time! It is hard to believe that these Democrat Mayors and Governors, all of whom are greatly incompetent, would want us to leave, especially considering the great progress that has been made???
