The Trump administration will start selecting lawyers for unaccompanied minors. Meaning the judges work for Donald Trump, the prosecutors work for Trump, and now the attorneys representing children will work for Trump. This is a rigged system that will result in more untold horrors for these kids.

Before he was appointed, Kash Patel was flagged by FBI counterintelligence agents as being deeply enmeshed in influence operations run by the Russians and Chinese. After he took over, Patel began systematically eliminating all Russian and Chinese counterintelligence capacity. What to make of that?
npr.org
As Trump focuses the FBI on immigration, counterintelligence is falling behind
The cuts come as a consequence of President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel's focus on violent crime and immigration, leaving other priorities understaffed.

Someone described as a "CNN Creator" put out this video claiming I called for the "doxxing" of Jane Doe, and now a nationwide movement has been sparked against me. I NEVER CALLED FOR "DOXXING." CNN APPARENTLY OPPOSES WHAT IS CALLED "REPORTING" ON CLAIMANTS IN CIVIL PROCEEDINGS

But she also highlights how the numbers are on the side of political and social progress – of pluralism and the expansion of a Democratic vision. Most Americans support all of the changes of the last 60 years. It is a tiny extreme ethnonationalist minority that opposes this progress.
