Well as we know Bill Maher the talk show host was meeting Donald Trump our President and now this meeting has happened and well looks like Bill here has been as it's being quoted around as ‘Mind Was Blown’ After White House Meal With Trump. Kid Rock has revealed that comedian Bill Maher’s “mind was blown” after his White House sit down with President Donald Trump. The MAGA musician, who brokered the meet up between the traditional foes, was on Fox & Friends Tuesday morning to talk about how it went down. He, Maher and Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White were all invited to Washington, D.C. to break bread with the president.
And all of them were suitably impressed by the MAGA commander-in-chief, the “All Summer Long” singer claimed. “Trump is the type of person you have to meet him to understand him,” he said. “Me and Dana said there has never been anyone whoever met the president who has walked away without saying ‘wow, what a great guy.’ [He’s] so funny and engaging and so smart. Bill even said to me after... he goes ‘wow, that was...’ Everybody’s mind was blown, even the president’s.”
He revealed that Trump himself even had reservations about the meeting. “The president called me late last night. Everyone was a little suspect going into this,” the singer claimed. “Even the president said ‘what have you got me doing?’ “Man, we’re trying to show people that even though we’ve been hard on each other when you get face-to-face maybe we can have more civility in the country and try to bring people together. That was my whole intention.”
Kid Rock, real name Robert James Ritchie, detailed what was on the agenda before the group met. “He had never been to the White House,“ he said of Maher. ”The president was gracious. [He] took us up to the private residence, [we] saw the Gettysburg Address in the Lincoln Bedroom.” The group also pored over their shared hatred of “wokeness,” Kid Rock told the hosts. “President Trump extended the olive branch and talked about things we had in common. Ending wokeness, securing the border,” he said. “The president was asking him what he thought about policy going on with Iran and Israel and things. It blew my mind. I was very proud.”
Trump lamented on Truth Social the evening before the Monday sit down that Maher had been “unjustifiably critical of anything or anyone Trump,” but it appears the two might have now found common ground despite the comedian’s quip that he would not be “leaving in a MAGA hat.” Trump and Maher, who has ingratiated himself to the MAGA world due to his “wait and see” attitude towards Trump 2.0, have yet to comment publicly on the meeting, but Kid Rock said photos of the sit down would be released soon.
So as it turns out now we got some clarification on what has been going down with what libtarded people are calling "Signal Gate" cause them folks need labels for everything I guess. Was it someone who did a wrong thing by accident? Or was it on purpose when possibly adding a CCP infiltrator? Either way it looks they added da WONG guy.. Starting when they added Alex Wong to the chat to start with, and now we know Wong is the individual who added Jeffrey Goldberg to the Signal chat.
So the question should be who is this guy Alex Wong? Well he is Mike Walz' National Security Advisor. But wait Who is Mike Waltz, the national security adviser who added the journalist to Signal group chat. So after all that the President himself Donald Trump said he is confident in his national security adviser, Mike Waltz a day after a report detailed how he inadvertently added a journalist to a Signal group chat discussing Yemen war plans. Trump told NBC News on Tuesday that Waltz "has learned a lesson and is a good man."
The president brushed off concerns about the group chat on the messaging app, which reportedly included operational details about war plans in Yemen and mistakenly included The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, according to a report from Goldberg published Monday. Trump told NBC News that Goldberg's presence in the chat had "no impact at all" and called the whole ordeal "the only glitch" his administration has faced since Inauguration Day.
Goldberg said he received a Signal invitation from Waltz, who was a member of the group chat. Goldberg said the group chat also appeared to include Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, among others. White House National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes told ABC News on Monday that the group chat "appears to be authentic."
Trump tapped Waltz, a former Florida congressman, to be his national security adviser in November, calling him "a nationally recognized leader in national security" and an "expert on the threats posed by China, Russia, Iran, and global terrorism." Waltz is a China hawk and was the first Green Beret elected to Congress. During the presidential campaign, Waltz proved to be a key surrogate for Trump, criticizing the Biden-Harris foreign policy record. Elected to the House in 2018, Waltz sat on the Intelligence, Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees.
He also serves on the House China Task Force with 13 other Republicans. Before running for elected office, Waltz served in various national security policy roles in the George W. Bush administration in the Pentagon and White House. He retired as a colonel after serving 27 years in the Army and the National Guard.
Laura Loomer did a deep dive on this guy...
- Alex Wong, the Chinese Deputy National Security Advisor is married to U.S. Attorney Candice Chiu Wong, a Chinese Woman who was one of the key attorneys involved in PROSECUTING J6ers.
- Alex’s wife, Candice Chiu Wong, worked under the Obama admin and the Biden admin as an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, where she led the Violence Reduction and Trafficking Offenses Section for more than two years.
- She was involved in the prosecution of many J6ers during the Biden regime, under which she was nominated to become a Member of the United States Sentencing Commission. Additionally, Candice Chiu Wong served as a Law Clerk to Obama-appointed US Supreme Court Justice Sonia M. Sotomayor!
- Making matters worse, Alex Wong worked for Covington & Burling which is one of the law firms the President recently stripped of its security clearance and terminated all of their government contracts via Executive Order on February 25th, 2025. Trump accused Covington LLP of being involved in the weaponization of government.
- Given the Chinese connections, it really makes you wonder if Jeffrey Goldberg was added to the Trump Signal chat on purpose as part of a foreign opp to embarrass the Trump admin on behalf of China.
SIDE NOTE:
Jeffrey Goldberg said a “war plan” was released that contained “precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing.”.
THAT WAS A LIE. What Goldberg actually released something he could have shared from the start—is not a “war plan.”
There are no names, no specific targets or locations, and no coordinates. It basically just says some F-18s will strike a terrorist somewhere today. But I do think that Alex Wong needs to be investigated and terminated at the very least. IF he's guilty of actually being a CCP Spy he well should get the full extent of the law... The rest is a nothing burger.
YES it's now done folks the "DOE" is gone! As Trump just signed it so... But it doesn't stop there as we speak it's been reported that a bunch of woke Uпiversity of Texas Stυdeпts who were Kпeeliпg Dυriпg Natioпal Aпthem got Immediately Expelled! People in TEXAS this is not very smart doing when the DOE is now done! Stupid students protesting are just making the case to have these special women athletes with no real chance to EVER become a pro women soccer star after school. These women who are mostly there on grants by the government and scholarships should pipe down because to me they could do away with the sport in these schools all together and save the money.
But this is well It's fascinating that it's happened in Texas, and while the "Uпiversity of Texas" stυdeпts Kпeeliпg Dυriпg our Natioпal Aпthem because well they "WOKE" and not for nothing but the University's answer was great! To have them Immediately Expelled From School... Frankly for a sport that MOST people in the WORLD don't care about.
This is what every school in the country should do, and yes it's not about Freedom of Speech or Expression. Keep SPORTS & POLITICS apart, and go play your sport. Stop bringing it into an area that it's not needed, and so this is the right move, and these women need to calm their political panties down before they lose all funding, and they don't have these sports AT ALL anymore.
This isn't like they need to go to college on scholarships to disrespect our country, flag, and veterans with this nonsense. Seriously College Women Soccer? Who the hell gives a fart about this sport? Can't we just cut the funding anyway and save ourselves a TON of money being wasted there?
They can go from high school to community colleges, and find a job somewhere like where they belong at a McDonalds or worse! One of the less known fast food chains! Why is this important? Check out this is all happening because the DOE being dismantled is happening.
IF this continues kick them all out and watch how fast they stop these morons from doing this which is ANTI AMERICA...
Notice all the ones who do this are black, brown or gay? Just stating the obvious. The women who are doing this and even the men are are all anti American and the color, race, religion doesn't matter but this picture and what we seen as of the last 4 years has been heart breaking from these people who think we're a racist country! IF this place is so bad why don't they just leave? You know some folks don't know how good they got it until it's gone. These people deserve to lose this country and be deported to their country of choice instead of wasting our money on these idiotic sports scholarships for a bunch of ungrateful people.
Remember the saying friends "Nobody is Above the LAW" and so yes it's about time that Big Booty Willis understood this as these are the very words they love throwing around on these fake charges against Donald Trump but finally the court Found Fani GUILTY and we just found out she now must PAY a major fine for Withholding Evidence. She must pay according to the Judge who is handling her case against her! See Fani Willis was ordered to pay $54K in attorneys' fees. This for her behavior and violating open records law.
Nobody is Above the Law Fani, and so while Fulton County District Attorney Fati Willis keeps going to black churches to argue her name and how people mock her cus she named like a fat ass, and looks like one all she wants. I mean we all like to call her Fat Fani "Whatcha Talking About" Willis cause it's fun! So when the very center of a dispute around the failure of Willis' takes place and we mock her she uses her race to try and sell to the local black church goers like they can help her some how! LOL So her office for the failure to provide records requested by defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who represents Michael Roman (The former campaign and White House aide to President Donald Trump.) now Willis will pay! Hope she has enough money in her piggy bank at home to cover that since she don't put her money in banks as she says...
Michael Roman was indicted alongside Trump in the Georgia election interference case, which was brought by Willis in 2023 and currently remains in limbo. Friday's ruling marks another setback for Willis and her case against out 45th & 47th President Donald Trump. This last December 2024, Willis was disqualified from prosecuting the case against Trump and 18 other co-defendants, accusing them of engaging in a conspiracy to overturn Joe Biden's victory in Georgia in 2020. Trump has denied the accusations and accused Willis of mounting a politically motivated attack.
According to the Georgia Court of Appeals, the disqualification was necessary due to the "appearance of impropriety" created by Willis' past relationship with Nathan Wade, a former special prosecutor on the case. He was forced to resign from the case in October. Willis filed an appeal with the Georgia Supreme Court in January, arguing that the court was wrong to disqualify her "based solely upon an appearance of impropriety and absent a finding of an actual conflict of interest or forensic misconduct."
In the court order issued on Friday, the judge found that Willis' office had been "openly hostile" to Merchant's requests for documents, and that they were "handled differently than other requests." The judge added that this indicated a "lack of good faith." Willis now has 30 days to hand over all the requested records and pay $54,264 to Merchant, based on nearly 80 hours of work on the case, according to the order. Merchant previously accused Willis' office of withholding key documents regarding the employment of Wade. She also sought records on how Willis' office allocated public funds. In response, Willis' office accused Merchant Law Firm of attempting to "undermine" the prosecution. Separately, the Georgia Senate passed a bill in early March that could allow Trump and his co-defendants to seek reimbursement for their legal expenses.
The legislation, approved unanimously, permits counties to cover attorneys' fees and other legal costs in cases where a district attorney is disqualified due to misconduct, provided the case is dismissed.
Responding to the court order Friday, attorney Ashleigh Merchant wrote on X: "Proud that we have judges willing to hold people in power accountable when they ignore the law!!!" District Attorney Fani Willis wrote in her January appeal: "No Georgia court has ever disqualified a district attorney for the mere appearance of impropriety without the existence of an actual conflict of interest." So what will happen Next you ask? Well according to court documents, Willis now has one month to pay the $54,264 to Merchant.
Willis must also hand over all relevant records within the same 30-day time period. The future of the case, including whether Georgia's Supreme Court will uphold Willis' disqualification, still remains in limbo. Which is odd to me since it's now known the President while in office has total immunity over things like this, and TRUMP who was in office and constitionally has every right to ask for a re-count which is all he did should be exonerated of all these stupid charges.
Oh let the good times roll friends! Today our good President Trump announced that Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden will no longer receive the Secret Service protection.
And as an American Citizen I thank you Mr President. These criminals should NEVER get any protection paid by us.
Donald Trump came out and said Joe Biden’s pardons are now ‘void and vacant’ after auto pen controversy is out in the public, and this controversy could have major blow back on these Pardons as these were done mostly to protect the Biden CRIME family and his minions of the criminals he pardoned. So as Trump said all pardons issued by former president Joe Biden are ‘void’ after his Democratic predecessor allegedly used an auto pen to sign his acts of clemency in office. The president took to Truth Social in the early hours of Monday morning to sow doubt over the legitimacy of Biden’s pardons, claiming he used the mechanical device to sign documents rather than doing so by hand.
Trump claimed Biden failed to give consent for preemptive pardons issued to the nine House select committee members that investigated the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 along with “many others” granted clemency on the former president’s last full day in office on January 19. “The ‘Pardons’ that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Auto pen,” Trump wrote.
“In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden.” Presidents can issue pardons (removing a punishment after a court decision) and commutations (a reduction in punishment for a crime) as they see fit for federal convictions, but not for state crimes. Trump, who himself granted clemency to more than 1,500 January 6 criminals in January, warned that the members of the House select committee are no longer shielded by presidential pardons and should expect to be investigated, despite not being charged with any crimes.
“Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level,” he continued. “The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!”
Earlier on Sunday evening, Trump told reporters on Air Force One that the decision on whether the pardons would stand would be up to a court. He again stated, without evidence, that Biden “didn’t have any idea” that the pardons were being signed off. The president also trolled Biden in another Truth Social post with a meme replacing his official portrait with an auto pen mimicking his signature.
In a post on Saturday, he wrote: “The person who was the real President during the Biden years was the person who controlled the Auto pen!” Trump appeared to seize on reports from the Oversight Project, a self-described investigative arm of the right-wing think tank behind Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation. Last week, the group challenged the legitimacy of the orders signed by Biden claiming that an “autopen signature” was used across almost “every document” it could find. However, a Fox News examination of President Donald Trump’s executive orders during his first and second administrations found “the signatures were also the same.” Twenty-five of Trump's signatures on the Federal Register’s website from across both terms also found signature matched, according to a separate analysis by the Daily Mail.
Trump’s comments open up the possibility that the Justice Department may attempt to prosecute some of the president’s biggest political targets who had been granted clemency by Biden, upending more than a century of law surrounding presidential pardons. They include retired disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired General Mark Milley, and former Representative Liz Cheney – all also pardoned on the last day of Biden’s presidency after Trump threatened their prosecution on the campaign trail.
The former president also preemptively pardoned five members of his family who had long been the target of attacks from Trump. In December, Biden pardoned his second son, Hunter Biden, and said he had been “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.” Marcus Garvey, the founder of the Black nationalist movement in the U.S. was granted a posthumous pardon while four other activists and public servants also received clemency on the last day of the Biden administration. On January 17, Biden also commuted the sentences for nearly 2,500 people convicted of non-violent drug offenses.
First of all I'd like to know is why does a criminal like Hunter Biden still get around the clock secret service protection on our Tax payer money? Hasn't his criminal family stolen enough? They should strip his entire family from this protection ASAP! Now onto the story here where it looks like the ex first son of the Biden Crime family "Hunter Biden" has fled to South Africa for a luxury vacation with round-the-clock Secret Service protection to avoid a deposition scheduled for this week in a California lawsuit. California District Court Judge Herman Vera granted Hunter’s motion to dismiss the case Thursday after the former first son claimed he was too broke to continue suing former Trump staffer Garrett Ziegler and his nonprofit Marco Polo.
But photographs show Hunter was already in Cape Town the day the case was dismissed, staying in a $500-a-night beachfront villa described on its website as an “ultra-luxurious designer home with spectacular 180 degrees unobstructed views of the sea.” Ziegler’s lawyers alleged to the court last week that Hunter had fled to South Africa to potentially “avoid his deposition in this case,” which was set for this week, after originally being planned for February.
“He was in South Africa before the judge even decided the case,” Ziegler said Friday. “That means he is assuming his daddy’s appointee is gonna rubber stamp what he wants.”
Hunter and his South African-born wife Melissa Cohen were spotted walking around the high-end shopping district of Cape Town with their Secret Service detail this week in photos provided to The Post by independent reporter Laura Loomer.
Ziegler will include the images in his next court filing seeking $200,000 in legal costs incurred after Hunter sued over him over Marco Polo’s digitized version of his notorious “laptop from hell.”
The scandal-prone 55-year-old son of Joe Biden does not qualify for statutory Secret Service protection, which only applies to former presidents’ children aged under 16, per the Former Presidents Protection Act (codified in 18 USC, Section 3056). But Biden issued an executive memorandum before he left the presidency indefinitely extending Secret Service protection for his son, according to Trump administration sources. “While we can’t comment on the specifics of our protective means and methods, we can confirm Mr. Biden is an authorized protectee of the US Secret Service,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told The Post on Friday.
Guglielmi would not confirm that 18 Secret Service agents have traveled to Cape Town with Hunter. But he said, “Our agents are trained, authorized and mandated by federal law to provide security anywhere in the world for individuals under our protection.” Loomer cites local sources who claim that Hunter is traveling with 18 agents three shifts of four agents plus six backup agents who are staying at a nearby four-star hotel, collecting per-diem payments for meals and renting two cars. The cost to the taxpayer potentially would be a half-million dollars, at a time when the Secret Service is stretched thin.
President Trump extended Secret Service protection to his four adult children for six months after he left office in 2021, prompting heavy criticism from Democrats and media outlets who complained about the estimated cost of $1.7 million.
Ziegler says Hunter’s Secret Service special dispensation “should be revoked because Hunter was not completely honest with the court.” Hunter’s lawyers told the court last week that Ziegler’s counsel Jennifer Holliday is “despicable” because she questioned Hunter’s excuses for being unable to afford his legal fees.
Hunter claimed his paintings were no longer selling and that his home had been rendered unlivable by the LA wildfires.
A homicide investigation is underway after a reporter for the platform InfoWars was shot dead outside his apartment in Austin which as you can imagine has kicked off a lot of conspiracy theories online about the killing itself. But the police said on Wednesday they believed that the reporter "Jamie White", was the victim of a random attack. As a matter-of-fact update that did not address the conspiracy theories swirling in right-wing media, Austin police said that Mr. White, 36, was trying to thwart his vehicle from being stolen outside his apartment complex on Sunday night when someone shot him and fled. Mr. White later died at the hospital.
When asked about the conspiracy theories, Jason Jones, the Police Department’s lead homicide investigator on the case replied, “We will follow the leads that develop in this case.” That has not stopped Infowars’ founder, Alex Jones, from doing what he has long done give us his point of view on what he knows from his being connected to this situation we can't expect anything less.
Alex took to the air with speculation about Mr. White’s death and The killing “could’ve been a hit,” Mr. Jones said Tuesday in a YouTube interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson. Also one of our favorites on the network by the way! Anyway Jones added “What are the chances in a town of over two million people that an Infowars lead reporter gets butchered?” Mr. Jones also claimed that Mr. White and Elon Musk were both on a hit list that originated in Ukraine and has asked the Justice Department to get involved.
Before his death, Mr. White himself posted on social media last June that he was on a “Ukrainian ‘Enemies List,’” and claimed that it was tied to the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Central Intelligence Agency and the liberal financier George Soros. “I think Pam Bondi should look into it,” Mr. Jones said, referring to the U.S. attorney general. “The Austin Police Department admitted they’re totally overwhelmed. They said they can’t really respond to most crime scenes.” During a news briefing on Wednesday, Detective Jones, the homicide investigator (no relation to Alex Jones the Infowars founder) asked for the public’s assistance to find the culprits.
“Today, we are asking for anyone with information about Mr. White’s murder to call the Police Department,” he said. Alex Jones broke news of the tragedy on Monday on air, and in a statement blamed Mr. White’s killing “in part” on the policies of Travis County’s district attorney, José Garza, a Democrat. Mr. Garza was re-elected in November despite conservative criticism that he had been soft on crime. In a statement, the district attorney’s office called Mr. Jones’s allegations “shameful, but not surprising that Alex Jones is trying to exploit the victims’ death for political gain.” The statement went on: “However, we will not let Jones distract us from our work in seeking justice for Mr. White and supporting the Austin Police Department in its investigation.” According to Detective Jones, officers responded to a call of a shooting at around 11:56 p.m. Sunday at a parking lot outside the victim’s apartment complex in a southeast neighborhood of Austin.
A preliminary investigation revealed that Mr. White had tried to stop an unspecified number of people from breaking into his Kia and was shot, the police said. When officers arrived, they found Mr. White, “lying on the ground in the parking lot with apparent trauma to his body,” Detective Jones said. The perpetrators fled the scene, the police said. Mr. White was taken to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries about half an hour later. One of the car windows was broken, and the police found blood inside the vehicle. They said it very likely belonged to some of the perpetrators who appeared to have been cut by the glass.
The police believe Mr. White’s attackers have been targeting Kia vehicles across Austin. “The suspects were in the process of breaking into multiple vehicles that night, including the vehicle of our victim,” a spokeswoman, Lisa Cortinas, said in an email. Investigators said they recovered a stolen vehicle that was very likely taken by the same people.
“They have no regard for human life,” Detective Jones said of the perpetrators on Wednesday. Homicide rates have been stubbornly high in Austin, the capital of Texas and one of the fastest-growing cities in America, in recent years. But at the news conference on Wednesday, Detective Jones said that murders were down 30 percent this year from the same period a year ago. Alex Jones said his team became concerned when Mr. White didn’t report to work on time Monday morning.
“We sent some people over this morning when he didn’t answer the phone, because he’s always here early and early,” he said on his own show. Mr. White had written about a variety of subjects for Infowars, including reporting on Secret Service officers shooting an armed man near the White House, and on the cost-cutting efforts by Mr. Musk, who is leading the new Department of Government Efficiency.
So our President Donald Trump wants to know why Biden was financially supporting Ukraine without the promise of getting taxpayer money back! Interesting question I'd say and he asked "Why would he do this when Europe isn't?" Remember when Rudy Giuliani suggested it was because of blackmail?
Think about it: Joe was using Ukraine as his own personal money laundering operation. Hunter Biden was the bag man for the "big guy," Joe Biden while meeting up with hookers, prostitutes, and smoking crack. Imagine what kind of information they could have had on the finances and the decrepit activities of Hunter.
Remember:
The Biden family, the Pelosi family, and the Romney family all had children inexplicably connected to Ukraine. When Donald Trump asked about the crimes being committed in Ukraine: Adam Schiff concocted a whistle-blower out of thin air to get Trump impeached. That's how much they don't want us asking about Ukraine.
Ukraine is an epicenter for corruption. Imagine the kind of leverage Zelensky could have had over Biden knowing what he knew.
Keep in mind, the US government really wanted this war. "Your fight is our fight"
(Lindsey Graham, Amy Klobuchar and John McCain in Ukraine in 2016)
OK This makes me very happy to read friends as it's now coming in that all Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be "permanently expelled" or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter. First victim in the wake of this news "Columbia University just had it's funds canceled and it's about $400 Million.
IF You don't like it here go back to your country. WE Don't need more freeloading American hating dorks here. The Trump administration moved Friday to cancel $400 million in grants and contracts to Columbia University, citing "the school's continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students."
"Since October 7, Jewish students have faced relentless violence, intimidation, and antisemitic harassment on their campuses only to be ignored by those who are supposed to protect them," Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said. "Universities must comply with all federal anti discrimination laws if they are going to receive federal funding. For too long, Columbia has abandoned that obligation to Jewish students studying on its campus. Today, we demonstrate to Columbia and other universities that we will not tolerate their appalling inaction any longer."
"We are reviewing the announcement from the federal agencies and pledge to work with the federal government to restore Columbia's federal funding. We take Columbia's legal obligations seriously and understand how serious this announcement is and are committed to combating antisemitism and ensuring the safety and well being of our students, faculty, and staff," a Columbia University spokesperson said. Columbia students reacted to the news. "If those are the necessary steps needed to incentivize the school to make a positive step for Jewish students, that's what needs to be done," student Maya Cukieman said.
"Can these students stand up for what they believe in without compromising their future? Not really," student Wesley Epps said. "President Armstrong and the Columbia Board of Trustees must understand that their continued inaction on support for terror and antisemitism on campus have serious consequences. While initial steps have been taken to address these issues, they are broadly insufficient.
This move by the federal government hurts all of us, including numerous Jewish graduate students and workers at Columbia who are supported by federal funding. We hope that Columbia responds accordingly in order to prevent further cuts," student group Columbia Jewish & Israeli Students said in a statement.
"This move is the latest escalation by the Trump administration to coerce colleges and universities into censoring student speech and advocacy that isn't MAGA-approved, like criticizing Israel or supporting Palestinian rights. It is unconstitutional and unprecedented, but it is entirely consistent with Trump's long-held desire to silence views with which he disagrees and clamp down on protest,"
New York Civil Liberties Union executive director Donna Lieberman said. "Protected political speech should not be a basis of punishment, and Title VI must be applied consistently with the First Amendment. With little regard for the Constitution and case law, it is no surprise that the Trump administration prefers to see what it can get away with."
"Withdrawing millions of dollars in grants, often funding medical research, to essentially punish free speech is unconstitutional, and i think ineffective way to achieve the important goal of stopping antisemitsm," said First Amendment attorney Ian Rosenberg. Earlier this week, President Trump threatened to pull funding from schools that allowed what he called "illegal protests."
"All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests," Mr. Trump posted on social media Tuesday morning. "Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS!"
Mr. Trump's statement on Tuesday came on the heels of the Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. General Services Administration announcing a comprehensive review of Columbia's federal contracts.
The administration cited potential violations to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Columbia has more than $5 billion in federal grant commitments. "This is only the beginning," said Leo Terrell, head of the DOJ Task Force to Combat Antisemitism. "Cancelling these taxpayer funds is our strongest signal yet that the federal government is not going to be party to an educational institution like Columbia that does not protect Jewish students and staff." Mr. Trump's statement also raised questions about what constitutes an illegal protest.
Time this moron is removed from all politics as AL Green is one of the worst people on Congress. This guy looks filthy, and acts like how he looks. Like he's been rolling around in cow shit. Now this was bipartisan by both sides of lawmakers who voted to censure Representative Al Green following his outburst during President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress.
A rare rebuke, censuring does not remove a member from office but serves as a formal statement of disapproval with potential political consequences. Green, a Democrat from Texas, was disciplined for shouting at Trump during his speech and was asked to be removed from the chamber by House Speaker Mike Johnson. Green has been a longtime critic of Trump, having filed multiple impeachment resolutions against the president, including one after his outburst. Following the vote, Green defended his actions, saying he "was making it clear to the president that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid."
Censure is a formal and public reprimand issued by a legislative body to express disapproval of a member's actions. Unlike expulsion, it does not remove the individual from office but serves as a condemnation that can impact their influence and reputation in the House. Green's actions have sparked debate about the boundaries of political protest within Congress, particularly during high-profile addresses by the president. His supporters argue that his protest was justified, while critics including members of his party viewed it as an inappropriate breach of protocol.
Approximately 10 House Democrats voted with several Republicans for Green's reprimand.
Those who voted in favor included:
Ed Case of Hawaii
Tom Suozzi of New York
Jim Costa of California
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington
Jared Moskowitz of Florida
Ami Bera of California
Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania
Marcy Kaptur of Ohio
Laura Gillen of New York
Jim Himes of Connecticut
Some of these representatives hail from swing districts or moderate-leaning constituencies, which went red for Trump in the 2024 election.
Green is not the first lawmaker to disrupt a president during a congressional address. In 2009, Representative Joe Wilson, a South Carolina Republican, shouted "You lie!" at then-President Barack Obama during a speech on health care reform. The House later reprimanded Wilson. More recently, in 2024 and 2023, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, interrupted then-President Joe Biden during his State of the Union address. She did not face formal censure.
Which Other Politicians Have Been Censured?
Historically, only a handful of lawmakers have faced this formal rebuke. One of the most recent cases before Green was Republican Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona, who was censured in 2021 after posting an animated video that depicted violence against Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat.
The move to censure Gosar was supported mainly by Democrats, with only two Republicans voting in favor. In 2023, Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan was censured for her remarks regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict. The resolution accused her of promoting rhetoric that was deemed antisemitic by critics. Another prominent censure occurred in 2010, when Democratic Representative Charles Rangel of New York was censured for 11 ethics violations related to tax evasion and improper use of congressional resources. The House overwhelmingly voted to censure Rangel.
What's Next for Al Green?
Green has vowed to continue speaking out against Trump and his policies. However, the censure could impact his standing within the Democratic Party and among key House committees. Historically, censured lawmakers have faced challenges securing leadership positions and committee assignments. Meanwhile, the broader conversation about decorum in Congress is likely to continue.
Thank you Mr President! So it looks like there is a pause coming days after a tense exchange between Trump and the Ukrainian president in the Oval Office which has lead to a lot of heated back and forth online. A LOT of Americans feel as I do that should stop feeding them our Money, and Military aid. There comes a time and place where one has to get tough on cases like these if not the war will never end in peace. So when we hear that Impact could be ‘crippling’ so kidding? LMAO But I don't think anyone here is going to lose sleep over it and so President Donald Trump is ordering a pause on shipments of US military aid to Ukraine after his heated and disrespectful action in the Oval Office when he started the argument with President Trump.
The halt in aid, which came after Trump held a series of meetings with top national security officials at the White House, could have dire effect on Ukraine’s war-fighting abilities, officials and analysts said. It will remain in place until Trump determines Zelensky has made a commitment to seeking peace talks, one official said, essentially forcing Ukraine to a negotiating table by threatening further losses on the battlefield. “The president has been clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution,” the White House official said.
After more than a week of open hostility between Washington and Kyiv, Monday’s pause was the most material sign of how far the relationship has deteriorated since Trump took office and refused to keep letting this Ukrainian actor and wannabe President one Zelenskyy take our tax payers for a ride. In recent weeks, Trump has tried to get Russian President Vladimir Putin’s to come to a peaceful end to the war, and we laugh that the left is defending Zelenskyy when saying Trump falsely is claiming Ukraine started the war and accusing Zelensky of being a dictator, but wait he was afterall who said he would not allow Ukraine to have anymore elections and would stay in power. This friends this is a Dictator. He even dresses like Fidel Castro.
Trump based his decision to halt the delivery of military aid in a move that could have real consequences for the balance of the conflict and strengthen Putin’s hand. The pause will apply to all military equipment not yet inside Ukraine, officials said, and amounts to a direct response to what Trump views as Zelensky’s bad behavior last week. Ukraine could likely sustain its current fighting pace for several weeks perhaps until the start of the summer before a US pause would begin to have a major effect, Western officials said in the wake of the decision. The Biden administration rushed shipments of weapons to Ukraine in its waning days, providing the country with large stockpiles of advanced weapons.
It is those sophisticated weapons including the long-range ATACMS missiles that have allowed Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory, a strategy that could suffer if those weapons remain paused. While European nations may be able to replace US shipments of artillery, supplemented by Ukraine’s own growing defense industry, the most advanced weapons used by Kyiv come from the United States. “The impact is going to be big. I would call it crippling,” said Mark Cancian, a senior adviser with the Center for Strategic and International Studies who has closely followed the war. Cancian estimated that Ukraine would feel the impacts of the pause in aid within two to four months, as aid from European countries helps Kyiv remain in the fight for now. “That’s why they don’t fall off a cliff, but when your supplies get cut in half, eventually that shows up on the front lines,” Cancian said. “Their front lines would continue to buckle and eventually they would break and Ukraine would have to accept an adverse even catastrophic peace settlement.”
But Cancian warned the Trump administration has more forms of aid to Ukraine that can be paused or canceled altogether, including intelligence sharing and the training of Ukrainian forces. “There might be a way out of this, but it’s going to be extremely humiliating for Zelensky,” Cancian said.
According to several officials, Trump and his senior aides are seeking an acknowledgement from Zelensky potentially in the form of a public apology before moving ahead with a deal on Ukraine’s rare earth minerals, which had been close to agreement before Friday’s meeting, or a discussion on continuing foreign aid. The decision to halt the aid was made later on Monday, one person said, and is part of a pressure strategy on Ukraine.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio publicly called for Zelensky to apologize for Friday in an interview on CNN. The halt puts Trump even more clearly at odds with the United States’ traditional European allies like Britain and France, who made clear their support for Zelensky at a summit in London on Sunday. “There is a capability gap that Europe cannot fill alone,” one US official said. A European official called the Trump administration’s decision to pause military aid to Ukraine “petty and wrong.” The official said it will immediately deepen distrust in the US government among the Ukrainian people. The official also predicted it will cause unnecessary civilian casualties, as Ukraine will not be able to defend against Russian air attacks after they run out of air defense missiles.
Since the start of the war, the Biden administration announced 74 separate packages of military aid pulled directly from US inventories, allowing the critical munitions and supplies to flow quickly to Ukraine. The largest of these packages was nearly $3 billion, though most were far smaller. Zelensky has repeatedly thanked the US for the weapons on social media, as well as in calls and meetings with American officials. The pause comes one day after a defense official told CNN that military aid to Ukraine announced by the Biden administration was still flowing. Those shipments included critical munitions such as anti-tank weapons, thousands of artillery rounds, and rockets. Those shipments were expected to continue for several weeks, but the decision from the Trump administration freezes the aid that was en route. “DoD is also providing other capabilities, such as armored vehicles, as soon as required repairs are completed,” the defense official said on Sunday. The US had set up facilities in Poland to repair Western equipment damaged on the battlefield before sending it back to the Ukrainian military.
There are also multiple longer-term contracts between arms manufacturers and the US to send weapons systems and air defense systems to Ukraine. “This is a critical time for Ukraine. And I managed the Ukraine supplemental last year that provided additional help to Ukraine, and I do not think we should be pausing our efforts. It’s the Ukrainians who are shedding blood,” the Maine Republican said. Collins acknowledged that Congress may not be able to do anything to ensure Ukraine continues to receive aid from the US. “A lot of it is linked to the president’s draw down authority,” she noted, pointing to accusations during former President Joe Biden’s term that he had “slow walked” aid. “Unfortunately, we’ve seen this movie before, and I remain convinced that it’s not only in Ukraine’s interest but our interest to back Ukraine because Putin is not going to stop there,” she said.
House Foreign Affairs Chair Republican Rep. Brian Mast told CNN he “knew it was an option” for the Trump administration to pause all US military aid to Ukraine. “I think people can assume that everything is on the table with Ukraine right now,” he said.
Oh wow this is awesome news friends! Just got word that Ex-Secret Service agent and conservative media personality Dan Bongino has been officially picked as FBI deputy director under Kash Patel. Dan who has penned best-selling books, ran unsuccessfully for office and gained fame as a conservative pundit with TV shows and a popular podcast both on YouTube and later both there and Rumble where he has some ownership in. This was ordered by the man himself President Donald Trump as he announced the appointment Sunday night in a post on his Truth Social platform, praising Bongino as “a man of incredible love and passion for our Country.” He called the announcement “great news for Law Enforcement and American Justice.”
The selection places two staunch Trump allies atop the nation’s premier federal law enforcement agency at a time when Democrats are concerned that the president could seek to target his adversaries. Bongino would serve under Kash Patel, who was sworn in as FBI director at the White House on Friday and who has signaled his intent to reshape the bureau, including by relocating hundreds of employees from its Washington headquarters and placing greater emphasis on the FBI’s traditional crime-fighting duties.
The deputy director serves as the FBI’s second-in-command and is traditionally a career agent responsible for the bureau’s day-to-day law enforcement operations. Bongino, like Patel, has never served in the FBI, raising questions about their experience level when the U.S. is facing escalating national security threats. The two are inheriting an FBI gripped by turmoil as the Justice Department over the past month has forced out a group of senior bureau officials and made a highly unusual demand for the names of thousands of agents who participated in investigations related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Bongino served on the presidential details for then-Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, before becoming a popular right-wing figure. He became one of the leading personalities in the Make America Great Again political movement to spread false information about the 2020 election, which Trump and allies have continued to maintain was marred by widespread false even though such claims have been widely rejected as false by judges and former Trump attorney general William Barr.
For a few years following Rush Limbaugh’s death in 2021, he was chosen for a radio show on the same time slot of the famous commentator. Bongino worked for the New York Police Department for several years in the 1990s before joining the Secret Service. He began doing commentary on Fox News more than a decade ago, and had a Saturday night show with the network from 2021 to 2023. He is now a host of The Dan Bongino Show, one of the most popular podcasts, according to Spotify. Bongino ran for a U.S. Senate seat in Maryland in 2012 and for congressional seats in 2014 and 2016 in Maryland and Florida, after moving in 2015. He lost the three races. During an interview last fall, Bongino asked Trump to commit to forming a commission to reform the Secret Service, calling it a “failed” agency and criticizing it for the two assassination attempts last year.
“That guy should have been nowhere near you,” Bongino said about the man who authorities say camped outside Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, before he was spotted with a rifle. During the same interview, Trump praised the Secret Service agent who saw the rifle’s barrel coming out of a bush. Patel and Bongino will succeed the two acting FBI leaders, Brian Driscoll and Robert Kissane, who have led the bureau since the departure in January of former Director Christopher Wray, who was appointed by Trump in 2017 and held the job for the next seven years before resigning at the end of the Biden administration to make way for his chosen success.
They need to stop messing around with this evil clown Ilhan Omar. She needs to be sent packing back to Somalia and never allowed back into this country as she is clearly an enemy of this country. How she's being voted into office is beyond me as she's not doing a good job in any capacity and has shown flashes of being pure evil and corrupt. Now with Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) circulating a petition for his supporters to sign to deport Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) needs to happen. Gil had previously called on Omar to be deported, arguing she is more loyal to undocumented immigrants in the United States from her native Somalia than to the United States. The petition and an email circulated by Gill were first reported by Axios.
Omar became a U.S. citizen in 2000 after fleeing her native country due to civil war. The Minnesota representative has been the target of Republican insults following her staunch criticism of President Trump during his first administration. “Friend, we should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country. And frankly, America would be a much better place if she were to be sent back to Somalia,” Gill wrote in the email which included a picture of him next to President Trump. As in the past, he criticized Omar for discussing how to evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. “Recently, it came out that Ilhan Omar is hosting free workshops for Somalians, who are in our country illegally, on how to evade ICE and deportation. It could not be more blatant: Ilhan Omar is more loyal to illegal Somalians than she is to the United States, or the office she was elected to,” he added. Several Democrats criticized the most recent remarks by Gil, a freshman member of the new Congress.
“@SpeakerJohnson, get control of your caucus before we have to take other actions. This is demeaning & embarrassing,” Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wisc.) said in a post on X. “We all need to be better than this shit. I expect an answer today.”
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) also raised concerns with the GOP member’s comments. “It’s disgusting that Republicans are attempting to raise money by threatening to deport a US citizen just because they disagree with her,” she wrote on X. “Ilhan Omar is a tireless advocate for her district, a fierce protector of our democracy, and I know these fascist threats won’t keep her down.”
But this corruption is not just her as we seen AOC the Village IDIOT in NY might end up in prison for doing webinars on helping illegals avoid ICE, and openly says to not follow the law of the land ON VIDEO. Hence why she really is The Village Idiot. Check out the video below... This is hilarious and scary.
Why does this always seem to be the pattern here.. Just think this so called anti Trump resistance always looks a certain way, and act in an evil twisted anti American way... Besides the obvious people in congress, and corrpupt DA like FATASS Letitia James, and Fani Willis.
Check out these LOW IQ Demons on social media thinking that the majority of the people are behind their idiotic mindsets.
What does thing thing think Congress does? Well right now the majority of Congress House, and Senate are Republican, and the President is Republican and we're fighting to keep this country great with less inflation, lower taxes, stopping corruption and while Trump is doing the best for this country these liberal idiots keep resisting? Resisting to what you morons? But boy oh boy why is it they all look like side show freaks? Seriously?
Oh yeah remember these are "THE FUCK AROUND and FIND OUT" times... These morons are about to find out that when we say if you harbor or protect illegals, and you are for stopping ICE from doing the work WE VOTED this administration to do you will be arrested.
Isn’t this what Hakeem wanted?! We’re gonna fight in the streets.
Look all these morons sticking up for ILLEGAL activity.. Such moronic behavior from these libtards.
Protesters took to the streets of lower Manhattan to denounce and protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Thursday evening Feb. 13, a group of about 400 protesters marched from the ICE building at Federal Plaza near Foley Square to the ICE Officer at West Houston and Vertex Street in SoHo. The protest came hours after Mayor Eric Adams met with President Donald Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan.
The meeting resulted in the city reopening the ICE facility at the Rikers Island jail complex. The group was seen carrying several banners and signs in English and Spanish, shouting, “Mayor Eric Adams must go; he doesn’t care about immigrant communities.” One protester, Jason Darlugo of Nicaragua, told the crowd while fighting back tears, “I came here to give my family a better chance at life.”
NYPD Officers on foot patrol, motorcycles, and bicycles kept up with the group and attempted to cut the group route off several times. Some protesters attempted to agitate the officers. Six protesters were arrested and taken into police custody during the protest, though at this time, the NYPD could not confirm further details.
The group ended the march with, “Thank you for taking a stand against Donald Trump, I.C.E., and Mayor Eric Adams on this pivotal day in New York and American history.” Over the past few weeks since President Donald Trump was sworn in, ICE raids have been taking place in New York City, one of the more notable raids taking place in the Bronx. In that particular raid, Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was on site and there were 20 reported arrests.
In response to the raids, NYPD brass claimed that the department is only working with ICE to arrest those who have committed a crime. The Adams administration also noted in a recent memo that city employees, including those in public schools and hospitals, should allow federal immigration authorities to search city property or hand them requested information, even without a warrant, particularly if they feel threatened. Adams faced backlash for that memo, with immigration leaders and politicians rallying outside City Hall last week to denounce the directive.
YES You read it right according to the one and only Anna Paulina Luna will be leading a House task force on declassification of some our country's biggest hidden secrets and biggest conspiracy theorists are going to enjoy this. To me the citizens of this country as you know have become increasingly concerned about the lack of transparency and disclosure on issues pertaining to Non-Human Intelligence (NHI), Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), and Unidentified Submersible Objects (USO). For decades the talks in many conspiracy circles have been about the embargo on the truth about what the Government knows.
With this said on Inside Tha Jackals Head myself Angel Espino as host of that show have said in the past that Trump was going to move to not just drain the swamp, end corruption and he would disclose our biggest hidden secrets including the JFK, RFK and Alien stuff. Truth is I didn't expect the release of the MLK files but those never really had the talking heads going like disclosure on these other topics. The big one being Aliens, UFO's, UAP's, USO's and so on. On my podcast this has been a main focus for over a good 14 years now that I've been on air.
It's about time we get full disclosure but like I've said before we will get what they have on paper which I don't expect that to be "Full Disclosure" as most of the stuff might not be written down as this is how secrets are kept. But they're not just going to put out what they have but there will be an investigation according to the Trump White House on this because with all the drone activity and all the sightings and reports and interest well. This is time. Also remember I said I believed Trump would be our disclosure President. Also keep in mind why I think this. Before Roswell, and after WW' 2 Nikola Tesla passed on and he was working on exotic tech which include free energy, and even a UFO like craft.
When he died Donald Trump's uncle John Trump was part of the recovery team which went to get the paper work, and belongings of Tesla who died broke, and never got the recognition alive he deserved.. Now fast forward to today and we have President Trump and Elon Musk working together. Elon Musk owns SPACE X, and "TESLA" Cars... He's also about the Smartest and richest man on the planet. Folks we're on for a great 2025 if all things fall in place how I'm expecting. Keep in mind for the most part also they don't mention USO's much but she does and this is interesting because I've long held the theory that most of these orbs, crafts, and other things "Alien" which we think are coming from deep space are actually from inside out planet deep in the ocean below and they have very intelligent beings down there who can communicate and have tech which are far more advanced than ours on top. This is why I do think this topic is so hot right now and why we need to be told not just what is coming from space but what is right under our feet deep in our oceans darkest parts.
The issue is not only a matter of being transparent and open about the subject but also the dangers we're facing in our aviation safety and again we have a global right to know whether we are truly alone in the universe. According to the National UAP Task Force, there were 144 reports of encounters between U.S. military and unidentified phenomena between 2004 and 2021, highlighting the need for more transparent investigations and communications. We believe that it is possible to confirm the existence of these phenomena without jeopardizing national security or disclosing sensitive technology. At this point I don't think that will be much of a problem as we don't wanna have people thrown in prison for keeping this secret. We just want to be told the truth and so we all can move on and build our way into Space with out space brothers, and sisters.
This is amazing, and great to witness... The SWAMP is being LOCKED OUT! Literally.
So this comes on the heels of the NY DA Letitia James continuing her witch hunt on Trump after multiple warning to step off and back down from her lawless activity. NOW it's come time for her to pay the piper as she's getting closer, and close to getting her fat ass thrown in prison along with Diddy!
Now reports also come out from Roger Stone and others than Letitia James might herself be enrolled in doing herself what she's accused Trump of doing? Well what? You mean she inflated money value of a property? Well this is just hilarious.
President Donald Trump said in an exclusive interview with the New York Post on Saturday that he revoked the security clearance for some former Democratic officials and current legal authorities, following his decision to do the same for former President Joe Biden earlier this week.
So what does this mean? Why It Matters? Well when Trump announced on Friday that he had revoked Biden's security clearance and discontinuing the daily intelligence briefings that Biden had been receiving retaliation for Biden doing the same to Trump in 2021 due to "erratic behavior" and the concern he would disclose sensitive information. Traditionally, former presidents continue to receive intelligence briefings even after leaving office. However, in a post on Friday, Trump claimed that Biden used his tenure to instruct the intelligence community to prevent Trump from accessing national security information after he left office.
But we know Biden and his co-conspirators of corruption need to be cutoff at the knees, and not allowed to know anything going on in anyway when it comes to security Clarence. Also they should do this to the Obama's, Clinton's, and Bush clan... This also should extend to Nancy Pelosi, and A LOT of liberals, and conspirators of being Anti America first.
Trump on Saturday told the New York Post in an exclusive interview that he would revoke the clearance of eight additional Democrats, which the newspaper wrote was meant to "punish" them. Without their clearance, the officials will not be allowed to access classified information or enter federal facilities.
Lawyers Andrew Weissmann, Mark Zaid and Norm Eisen
Each of those listed were at some point involved with investigations into Trump. James and Bragg both brought cases against Trump. James brought a civil fraud lawsuit against Trump's real estate company ahead of the 2024 election. Trump maintains his innocence, and the judgment of now over $500 million, including interest, is on appeal. Bragg led the hush money case against Trump that led to 34 counts of falsifying business records related to payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels that led to a conviction and a largely symbolic "unconditional discharge" sentence. Trump has maintained his innocence and is appealing the case as well.
James is also leading a new lawsuit against Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for its access to sensitive payment systems in the Treasury Department. "This is to take away every right they have [revoking security clearances] including they can't go into [federal] buildings," Trump told the Post, which characterized the revocation as largely symbolic rather than consequential for James and Bragg. However, neither will be able to enter the U.S. attorney's offices for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.
What Are People Saying?
Norm Eisen, who now serves as a senior fellow at Brookings, wrote on BlueSky: "I take my inclusion on Trump's list as a backhanded compliment in response to our court successes against his administration this week. And I intend to return it in the best way I know how: by filing many more lawsuits against his and his cronies' wrongdoing."
Brian Krassenstein, entrepreneur and anti-Trump internet personality, wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "These actions are unprecedented in a democracy. This is not about national security it's a calculated move of political retribution and obstruction. By targeting officials involved in investigations and foreign policy, Trump is undermining the rule of law and putting America's security at risk."
Laura Loomer, a conservative activist, wrote on X: "President Trump just REVOKED the security clearances of the following 8 Democrat lawfare agents," adding, "They are now forbidden from walking inside any Federal buildings since they illegally weaponized law fare to carry out election interference. I told you it would be a spicy weekend full of firings and demotions! A little birdie at the White House told me ... Stay tuned! Even MORE is coming this weekend." With nine officials losing security clearances over the past two days, it is possible Trump is not done and will revoke clearance from other former Democrat officials and lawyers especially if Loomer's warning pans out.
