In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

"The Supreme Court’s decision Friday to revive the Trump administration’s expanded SAVE database for the midterms also suggests the justices may be eager to weaken one of federal law’s most important safeguards against last-minute voter purges." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
In SAVE ruling, Supreme Court signals path to weaken key protection against last-minute purges
A crucial voter protection could hinge on whether the Supreme Court wants to narrow the definition of “systematic” as applied to purges. And there’s reason to fear that it does.

Trump’s press ban? “National security.” His arch? “National security.” Why gut wind energy? “National security.” Justify tariffs? “National security.” Wants Greenland? “National security.” Ignore Endangered Species Act? “National security.” The pattern is not subtle. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
