Justice department and Trump ally Michael Flynn reach settlement over wrongful prosecution suit

A Department of Justice spokesperson said on Wednesday that the settlement had redressed a “historic injustice”.

“Those who instigated the Russia Collusion Hoax and Crossfire Hurricane abused their power to mislead the American people and tarnish the reputations of President Trump and his supporters,” the DOJ spokesperson said, referring to the FBI’s investigation inquiry into Russia’s attempts to meddle in the 2016 election.

Biased Spies: CIA rescinds or revises 19 intelligence reports over political bias, bad tradecraft

In a dramatic repudiation, CIA Director John Ratcliffe on Friday rescinded or revised 19 intelligence reports the agency produced dating back to the Obama era because they were politically biased or used poor spy tradecraft, including one analysis suggesting that women who pursue traditional motherhood were at danger of becoming violent extremists.

Dr. Oz Provides Update on California’s Healthcare Fraud

Last week, Dr. Oz, head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, said there was significant Medicare/Medicaid fraud in California related to hospice services. We’re not really surprised to find massive fraud happening under Gavin Newsom’s watch. The guy was given tens of millions of dollars to end homelessness in the state. That money is gone, but homelessness has gotten worse, and we can connect those dots.

Trump Fires Back at Frey: ‘Mayor and Governor Are Inciting Insurrection’

President Donald J. Trump delivered a forceful rebuke Saturday to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, accusing both leaders of “inciting insurrection” through their handling of the Border Patrol agent‑involved shooting and the violent unrest that followed. In a sharply worded statement, Trump said state and local officials abandoned law enforcement, misled the public about the circumstances of the shooting, and are now attempting to shift blame onto federal agents as chaos engulfs the city.

The Narrative™ Is Being Set on Minneapolis Shooting; Trump: INSURRECTION; Sheriff: National Guard

Few people really know what exactly happened this morning in Minneapolis, and that certainly includes the governor and Mayor of Minneapolis.

Yet both of them started making statements blaming ICE for the shooting of an armed man who was resisting arrest, and seemed to be encouraging the citizens of Minneapolis to attack ICE because they are part of an “invasion” of the state.

Trump Administration Begins Criminal Inquiry Into Minnesota Leaders

The Trump administration has opened a criminal investigation into elected Democrats in Minnesota, according to a senior law enforcement official familiar with the matter, a major escalation in the fight between the federal government and local officials over the aggressive immigration crackdown underway in the city.

The investigation would focus on allegations that Gov. Tim Walz and Jacob Frey, the mayor of Minneapolis, had conspired to impede thousands of federal agents who have been sent to the city since last month. Last week, one of those agents killed a 37-year-old woman, Renee Good.

The Tides Foundation Model: Power Without Visibility

The Tides Foundation rarely appears prominently in public debate, yet it occupies a critical position in modern American civic life. It is not a political party, a campaign committee, or a government agency. It does not pass laws, issue rulings, or command police forces. And yet, through its structure, it exerts influence over how laws are enforced, how public norms are shaped, and how activism is sustained.

US protests condemn ICE killing of Renee Good and ‘a regime that is willing to kill its own citizens’

On a rainy Saturday in Philadelphia, two separate protests, both with a few hundred people, marched from city hall to the federal detention center. They differed slightly in solutions as well as crowd makeup – white older adults dominated the morning’s march organized by the groups behind the No Kings protests, while a more racially diverse crowd swathed in keffiyehs and N95 face masks led the afternoon’s, planned by the local Democratic Socialists of America chapter. However, both groups shared a goal: for ICE to get out of American communities and to put an end to Donald Trump’s warmongering in Venezuela.

“From Venezuela to Minneapolis, all we’re seeing is a regime that is scrambling, willing to kill its own citizens, willing to kill foreign citizens, to maintain its power,” said Deborah Rose Hinchey, co-chair of the city’s Democratic Socialists of America chapter.

Compare and contrast with the Guardian piece.

Meet the Group Behind the Pro-Maduro Protests

The People’s Forum is an “incubator” for leftist radicals—and eerily reminiscent of a cult.

Within hours of Delta Force’s extraction of Venezuelan narco-dictator Nicolas Maduro, far-left activists flooded the streets with premade signs and polished talking points. The protests’ speedy appearance and apparent organization should have been no surprise. For years, groups like The People’s Forum (TPF) have cultivated a cultish following, capable of activating scores of organizations at a moment’s notice—always in service of the interests of America’s adversaries.
