Reyes, before she wraps up golf course hearing, says her family has been texting her, "freaking out" over CNN report about death threats bc of this case. "A federal judge is getting death threats over a golf course. I really don’t think that’s what the founders envisioned."

At 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.

Former special counsel Robert Mueller was asked if Russia is still interfering in our elections. He responded “They’re doing it as we sit here” during his 2019 congressional testimony.

Heads up: The Russian government has been targeting Americans with covert online disinformation operations seeking to undermine public confidence the midterms — using a familiar playbook in an attempt to inject chaos into the voting season, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

The smoking gun evidence in the hush money trial that convicted Trump on 34 felony counts included a $50K payout to Red Finch Technologies. Red Finch artificially boosted Trump's polls. Just making sure no one forgets Trump has been fixing the polls for a decade.

DOJ election monitors reportedly tried to access voting machines in Wyoming last week. I’ve spent thousands of hours reporting on past efforts by Trump allies to access machines & copy data. Mark my words: State officials need to be ready for this to happen again. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/28/u...

It's hard to fathom that anyone thinks ICE can be reformed or retrained. ICE needs to be dismantled and then cauterized so it can't grow back. #AbolishICE

This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy. Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and the nation has decided to make them unsafe. We are embarking on a tragedy and we cannot look away. We cannot.

So many immigrants I've interviewed break down about this. "Monsanto Maler was one of several Haitian immigrants who traveled from Springfield for a check in...after an ankle monitor was attached to him, Maler was seen collapsing to the ground and crying." www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/hundre...

Juan Proaño on the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo: The family is demanding the release of Lorenzo’s body. It has been complicated because they removed all of his personal identifying information before they put him in the ambulance. That required the hospital to admit him as a John Doe.

🚨 The Trump stablecoin (USD1) creates a dangerous financial loophole: 💸 YOU buy the stablecoin. 📈 THEY invest your dollars into US Treasurys. 💰 THEY keep the interest (millions in risk-free profit). The risk? Ethicists warn foreign governments can buy USD1 to funnel money directly to a sitting Pre

I'm mortified by how the Trump administration is openly discriminating against officials, players, and fans from around the world--cancelling visas, invasive searches, detainments, racism, etc.--but none of it's surprising. He's a white supremacist, and FIFA are bootlickers.

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.
