Americans owe @AlexBerenson a debt of gratitude for pursuing this case against the Biden administration's authoritarian and illicit infringements on 1st Amendment rights during COVID and demanding this admission of wrongdoing before he would settle it: "The United States Government. . . has acknowledged and conceded that the Government did in fact violate the First Amendment by exerting substantive coercive pressure on social media companies such as Twitter to suppress disfavored speech like Plaintiff’s."

.@GlennonMarkE, founder of @Wirepoints, took a break from his usual beat of Illinois fiscal policy to travel to western Ukraine and report firsthand on conditions on the ground, joining @DanProft by phone from Poland on his way back.

A presenter at Illinois' Reparations Commission (ADRC) gives away the game: "It's IMPOSSIBLE, actually, for all states & localities to meet the task of closing the racial wealth gap. Their combined budgets across the U.S. are $5 trillion... The MINIMUM that's required to eliminate the racial wealth gap is $16 trillion."

Chicago’s subsidy of May Day protests uses public funds in the struggling school system to foster radical political agendas. It removes any doubt for parents about the priority of Johnson, the CTU, and many of these teachers... jonathanturley.org/2026/04/21/civ…
