BREAKING: Trump is hit with devastating news as Judge Tanya Chutkan announces that she will slap him with a protective order in order to stop him from attacking witnesses in his trial for trying to overturn the election by stealing Biden’s win.
But it gets WORSE for Trump…
In a brutal speech, Judge Chutkan declared that, “Mr. Trump, like every American, has a First Amendment right to free speech, but that right is not absolute. In a criminal case such as this one, the defendant’s free speech is subject to the rules. Without a protective order, a party could release information that could taint the jury pool, intimidate witnesses or others involved in some aspect of the case, or otherwise interfere with the process of justice.”
According to CNN, “Chutkan had a pointed exchange with Trump attorney John Lauro about what the 2024 presidential contender should be allowed to say about the evidence that is turned over to him in the case.
“The fact that he is running a political campaign currently has to yield to the administration of justice,” the judge said. “And if that means he can’t say exactly what he wants to say in a political speech, that is just how its going to have to be. The defendant’s desire to conduct a campaign, to respond to political opponents, has to yield!”
At this point, Trump’s lawyer tried to argue that it’s impossible for Trump to continue to grow his presidential campagin without discussing the case, to which Chutkan replied, “The existence of a political campaign is not going to have a bearing” on how she handles the case. “I intend to keep politics out of this.”

As a physician I believe Damar Hamlin was likely suffering from commotio cordis where a blow to the chest at a precise moment in the electrical cycle stops the heart. Those trying to tie this to vaccine status to project their unscientific beliefs are terrible, horrible people.

This week in America:
- 10-year-old Ohio girl is forced to travel to Indiana to access abortion care.
- Cops shoot a man running away 60 times.
- Multiple people shot and killed at a Fourth of July parade.
These are all policy decisions.
This final season of America has been absolutely amazing. I mean, it starts with an attack on the capital and ends with a new Supreme Court that is actively dismantling democracy? That's some top notch writing! And it perfectly sets up the Civil War miniseries that will follow...
Like that @Oren_Jacobson says the antis have won the political fight FOR THE MOMENT. Yell & scream & cry these next couple of days, but in the words of the inimitable Kool Moe Dee, "It's time to wake up, check your clock, punch it, I go to work." https://t.co/qVwSElSOra
