@RapidResponse47 @MattWhitlock @DAGToddBlanche Maybe start defending the 2ND Amendment and tell the ATF to stop enforcing Rules already deemed unconstitutional.

.@DAGToddBlanche: "You're going to see this Department of Justice pour all of our heart and soul into fraud cases all over this country for the foreseeable future."

@SenAshleyMoody Nope. She was ALWAYS opposed to defending the 2nd Amendment. Destroys any positives she May have had.

AG Pam Bondi has been a dedicated public servant, a true patriot, and a dear friend. The majority of her career has been spent in service to Florida and to our great nation and we wish her all the best in her next chapter!

@AAGDhillon how is this legal?

Your reminder that many Gov't officials deserve prison for their actions while in the course of their duties.

Colorado is now requiring lawyers in the State, as a condition of logging into its court e-filing system, to promise not to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing federal immigration law. Please understand: - I do not practice immigration law. - I do not practice criminal law. - Nothing about my civil practice has anything to do with this. And yet because I cannot log into the State's official e-filing system without saluting The Resistance, I now cannot represent my clients, file lawsuits, access cases, file documents in existing cases, etc. If I click "Decline," it kicks me out of the system. I must click "Accept" to access the system and continue representing my civil clients -- again, in cases that have absolutely nothing to do with immigration law or policy. I've read SB 25-276 (the law referred to below). It does not regulate me as a private attorney or any of the clients I represent in civil matters. This is outrageous draconian overreach. I have ethical obligations to my clients to represent them competently. My existing cases have running deadlines that I must attend to. Judges issue orders in my cases that I must follow. If I don't click "Accept" in order to access the State's e-filing system, I will harm my clients, torpedo my practice, and probably commit malpractice. So, I have no choice. I'm clicking "Accept" under protest.

@LutheranAnswers No. You lie about and obfuscate what we really believe We keep inviting you to learn what we believe Start with a free Book of Mormon at ComeUntoChrist.org

This was the plan all along. @SteveHiltonx

Our very first lawsuit as @gunrights' brand-new legal arm had @HarmeetKDhillon on our legal team, fighting to stop San Jose, CA's attempt to tax the possession of firearms. I can think of no one better for the office of U.S. Attorney General.

When Mary returned to the Garden Tomb, angels—and then the risen Savior Himself—asked her a simple, searching question: “Why weepest thou?” (John 20:15). At Easter, that same loving question is quietly extended to each of us. I pray that you will find in your faith the light, the love, and the joy that He would have all of us feel at this sacred time of year. #GreaterLove

@LtGovJayCollins @GovRonDeSantis @AGJamesUthmeier LEOs need to be barred from being hired while under investigation for official misconduct. Frankly, they should be permanently decertified. youtu.be/cBldFk5Hx6o?si…

Typically we would see about 30 tankers a day sailing out of Hormuz.

@dlawbailey The crews will sail the Strait. It is an issue of the companies. If they see the upside in profits, and protected on the downside with insurance and military protection, they will run the Strait. Right now, the ships and companies are not seeing this.

All the intel agencies use polygraphs for hiring and internal investigations. You neither get OR keep your job if you don’t pass. Well, unless, of course your name is either @dbongino or the recently departed congressional liaison, Marshall Yates. (Or, there’s something to hide.)

A 40-year-old man is facing a federal charge after prosecutors say he opened fire outside a downtown bar, injuring two people. A federal grand jury indicted Angelo Mark Garcia on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Garcia, who has a prior felony conviction involving a firearm, is accused of illegally possessing a gun during the March 14 shooting. Police responded to reports of shots fired around 1:15 a.m. in downtown Salt Lake City and found one person with a gunshot wound. Minutes later, a Utah Highway Patrol trooper stopped a white SUV near 400 South and State Street for a traffic violation. According to court documents, the driver, identified as Garcia, and a passenger had red-brown stains on their clothing and appeared to have been in a recent fight. During an initial search, the trooper saw a firearm under the front passenger seat. Investigators later obtained a warrant and seized a Glock 19 9mm pistol. Officers also recovered multiple 9mm shell casings at the scene. Video from the area allegedly shows Garcia firing into the air, then shooting multiple rounds toward a group of people. Investigators later determined a second person had also been shot. Because of his prior conviction, Garcia is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under federal law. The case is being investigated by the Salt Lake City Police Department, with assistance from the Utah Highway Patrol and the FBI. Assistant U.S. Attorney Victoria K. McFarland is prosecuting the case. Federal officials say the case is part of Operation Take Back America, a Department of Justice initiative focused on combating violent crime and dismantling criminal organizations.

why is FL suddenly one of the most expensive states for gasoline? it’s one of the largest gasoline consumers in the country, and has ZERO refining capacity. every gallon has to be shipped in- and right now, Florida is having to outbid other markets to get it. could get worse.

This is NOT April Fool’s. We just live in the Twilight Zone. One day after the Chiles v. Salazar ruling, Colorado reps are back at it — trying to punish licensed counselors who affirm reality. (HB26-1322) They literally describe my exact experience: my daughter secretly deceived/converted to the opposite sex at school, told by teachers, activists & counselors that she needed to “fix” herself and be a boy. Counselors were bound by law to make it worse. That lie caused her trauma and suicidal ideation. The only difference? I found out in time and saved her life. Now they’re weaponizing my experience to force gender ideology on every counselor, every family, and every kid in Colorado — violating our rights and mandating lies. It’s clown world. We strike down their nonsense, and they double down harder. 🤡 🌎 Bizarre doesn’t even cover it.

I don’t often use the word “BOMBSHELL”. But this right here is a BOMBSHELL, and I don’t think people yet appreciate the significance of it. The government produced discovery to Brian Cole Jr.’s defense attorneys. Brian Cole Jr. is the accused planter of the Jan. 6 pipe bombs, whom many people believe to be a total patsy. I am one of those people who believes he is a total patsy. The government just provided discovery to Cole’s defense team, which alleges that on November 6, 2025, Kerkhoff was subjected to a polygraph AND FAILED. She was allegedly asked two questions: “did you place those pipe bombs?” and “did you place those pipe bombs that evening?” She allegedly FAILED that polygraph, according to this filing from the defense. The date is critical, because the polygraph apparently occurred TWO DAYS before Steve Baker’s exposé was PUBLISHED. I emphasize the word “published” because the article was almost certainly known / circulated internally presumably because it was circulated for review and comment, legal, etc. Operating on the basis that the facts alleged in this motion are accurate (I would imagine the defense attorneys are not going to lie about Kerkhoff having failed a polygraph), it is stunning that the government would have willingly and knowingly communicated this prima facie exculpatory evidence to the defense, unless they had a good reason. Some of you are going to say “Brady obligations”, etc. To which I would respond that this would not be the first time the government has “lost”, “accidentally” deleted, or outright concealed / destroyed what would otherwise be exculpatory Brady disclosures. Heck, they did it to many of the Jan. 6ers in the first place. And many of the agents who violated the defense rights of countless Jan. 6ers still have their jobs. One of two alternatives is likely true: The government *did not know* they had that information when they turned over presumably hundreds of thousands of pages of discovery and terabytes of information to the defense. They didn’t know. They sent it off. They just stepped into it, and it’s going to come back and destroy their case. Or, they DID KNOW what they were communicating it to the defense, that it would destroy their case, AND THEY DID IT ANYWAY. Call it an act of sabotage, from corrupt agents within a DOJ that has not yet purged itself of corrupt “deep state” actors. To the extent that it destroys the case against Brian Cole Jr., who does it humiliate the most, and who does it benefit the most? It will humiliate the DOJ - or at least those in charge. Who will it benefit the most? Everyone who would otherwise want to sabotage the DOJ and the Trump administration, on the eve of midterms. When this case blows up, it will be exploited and weaponized to discredit the Trump DOJ. I have been saying for a while that under Bondi’s DOJ, there have been some debacles so egregious, they could only be the result of incompetence or sabotage. The government either did not know what they were handing over to Brian Cole Jr.’s defense team, or they did, and it was intended to be sabotage. Unless the allegations in the motion are incorrect, or there is another good explanation for what is alleged therein. This is a bona fide bombshell.

Today, the @CivilRights Division sued Idaho for refusing to grant @TheJusticeDept access to its voter rolls. Transparency and accountability are essential to public trust, and we look forward to seeing Idaho in court! justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…

🚨BREAKING🚨 DOJ seeks sanctions against Brian Cole Jr.'s lawyers for placing witness subpoenas for Shauni Kerkhoff and USCP officer Daniel Dickert on the public docket. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Nearly every one of us who faced a J6 kangaroo court saw exculpatory evidence suppressed by the DOJ and Court. Judges successfully suppress the truth by keeping evidence like this “under seal,” hoping the truth never sees the light of day. Truth is never the first priority in DC. Brave lawyers, there. God speed to them.
