In a partisan vote, the conservative SCOTUS judges have granted the federal gov’t the power to strip lawful residency status simply by fabricating criminal charges

[Breaking911 @Breaking911]

BREAKING: In a 6-3 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Department of Homeland Security may revoke a lawful permanent resident’s status if they leave the United States while facing pending criminal charges, even without a conviction. The court’s liberal justices dissented.

Donald Trump has been in office for 2% of the last 250 years of presidents but has added 28% to the national debt.

Today I learned that in addition to wanting to buy Greenland, Trump wanted to sell or give away Puerto Rico (via the @NewYorker)

Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation!

May: The Federal Government took in $336 billion and spent $628 billion. Don't try this at home.

Elections are conducted by the States under Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the Constitution

Why would the Federal Gov't try to violate the Constitution to steal voting rights from voters? Unless...?

@skeptrune you're working on a better detection method?

[AnthonyAndrews @anthon7yandrews]

BREAKING: This morning I, Anthony Andrews, received a “demand” letter from the lawyers of the President and First Lady via FedEx. I guess it is a cease and desist of sorts. It is 6 pages long and references numerous social media posts relating to Donald Trump and separately Melania. The scale of what the posts cover would allow for discovery to be sensational. The broad terms mentioned regarding my posts about Donald Trump would allow, if litigated, the world to see the extent to which the president is willing to go to evade accountability.
The posts referencing Melania have also been similarly referenced over the years by thousands of people publicly. As a messenger, I posted what was shared with me by a first person witness.
I have them on their toes and am obviously very much over the target.
More details to come. If they’re coming after me, they will eventually come after everyone.

@TECleveland @cremieuxrecueil Despite some bogus grants, a lot of government is like this cartoon. I bet this "small team" would find a line item for "screwworm sterilization" and delete it, not knowing that they just devastated American farming: https://t.co/OAnAkxDSEK

Kash Patel's apparel website is hosting malware

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

‼️🚨 BREAKING: Kash Patel's apparel website is reportedly hosting ClickFix malware, according to multiple visitors.

A fake Cloudflare verification page is tricking users into pasting OS-specific "verification" commands that execute malware. The macOS path fetches an infostealer targeting Keychain, browser data, session tokens, and crypto wallets.

Reporter: The DOJ has this new fund — $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6ers?

Trump: Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction.

[Kari @KariDaniels]

So forget the 14th Amendment?

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Sure seems like Trump has gone ahead with his plan to brazenly steal $1,776,000,000 from American taxpayers, all to pay off his friends and allies.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

The handbook grants officials immunity for refusing to certify results they claim to believe are inaccurate. That converts the last democratic guardrail into a subjective judgment call with a pre-written legal shield. Mitchell was on the Georgia call. This is the follow-up.
