So Trump is now saying the "ballroom" is actually "the desperately needed Military Center, required for the National Security of Washington, D.C., and our Country, itself" He's also extended soldiers in D.C. until Jan. 20, 2029, his last day It's impossible to not to imagine the very worst

Fed. judge quashes a DOJ subpoena seeking the personal information of 2020 poll workers and volunteers in Fulton County, Georgia. In part bc Trump is a well-known liar about that election and also bc the statute of limitations has long run. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Why is the DOJ seeking this information? It argues that it is engaged in legitimate law enforcement activities. Against that claim is the fact that it has long been the view of the current President of the United States, both before and after he was elected in the 2024 General Election, that he was denied re-election to a secondconsecutive term in 2020 due to election fraud. Particularly, he has alleged fraud in states that he won during the 2016 Election, but lost in 2020, which includes Georgia.   It was alleged, both then and now, that the genesis of his defeat in Georgia came from supposed fraud at the hands of election officials and others in Fulton County, which provided the final margin of votes in Georgia that decided the 2020 Election. Thus, perhaps it makes sense that the DOJ, now unquestionably under the current President’s control, is seeking to identify individuals who might possess information or opinions in support of his claim that the 2020 Election was not legitimate. And, in doing so, the DOJ is using the subpoena power of the Grand Jury.2
