NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.
“It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Saw an old episode of Big Bang Theory last night with Elon Musk in a guest role. He was mostly being portrayed as a good guy with Leonard gushing over him. Remarkable to see it now. If only we knew.

Trump will learn from this. But remember, he’s not normal. The lesson he’ll learn is to destroy the midterms, one way or another. It will be a fight to make them fair.

My local Fox affiliate spreading lies during the NFL halftime report: “Thousands protested yesterday at the (Austin) capitol against what they called Trump administration’s fascism. Nationwide, some protests were peaceful and some got out of hand.” I’ve seen no such reports. Anyone else?
