Sara Kropf @sarakropf.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Broadview 6 update: We are about to see the AUSA attempt to put the blame on the current US Attorney — and vice versa. This fight will result in learning about more wrongdoing. It’s a path to mutual destruction. I’d like a copy of the nonpublic Grand Jury Manual. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/u...nytimes.comProsecutor Resigns, Saying U.S. Attorney Mishandled Chicago Protest CaseThe prosecutor said that U.S. Attorney Andrew S.

Sara Kropf @sarakropf.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It’s possible Trump’s approval ratings go UP if there’s no coverage of him. Maybe the press ban is a masterful plan by WH insiders who see what is happening in polls around the country but can’t get their boss to stop doing stupid things on camera. 120
