Happy to help, sir.

From Judge Ellis:

"Bovino admitted in his deposition that he lied multiple times about the events that occurred in Little Village that prompted him to throw tear gas at protesters."

"Bovino and DHS have represented that a rock hit Bovino in the helmet before he threw tear gas. ...On the first day," of his deposition "Bovino admitted that he was not hit with a rock until after he had deployed tear gas...
2/ "Bovino then offered a new justification for his use of chemical munitions, testifying that he only threw tear gas after he 'had received a projectile, a rock,' which 'almost hit' him...

"Despite being presented with video evidence that did not show a rock thrown at him before he launched the first tear gas canister, Bovino nonetheless maintained his testimony throughout the first and second days of his deposition,...
3/ "But on November 4, 2025, the final session of his deposition, Bovino admitted that he was again 'mistaken' and that no rock was thrown at him before he deployed the first tear gas canister. "

False. Here's what the IG report ACTUALLY says:

"The Secretary’s transmission of nonpublic operational information over Signal ...exposed sensitive DoD information" risking "potential compromise of sensitive DoD information, which could cause harm to DoD personnel and mission objectives." 1/
2/ "... the Secretary’s actions created a risk to operational security that could have resulted in failed U.S. mission objectives and potential harm to U.S. pilots."
3/ "using unauthorized applications or sharing DoD information over improperly secured devices, even temporarily, increases the risk of exposing sensitive DoD information that could impact national security and DoD missions."

1) Last month, Nexstar Media Group Inc — the largest owner of local tv stations in the US — announced its intention to purchase its largest rival, TEGNA.

nexstar.tv/nexstar-media-…
2) For this $6.2 billion acquisition to happen, Nexstar needs the approval of the FCC and it needs the FCC to lift the 39% cap on the number of households one company is permitted to reach through TV station ownership.

3) Trump-appointed FCC chair Brendan Carr in May suggested his mind was open to repealing "arcane, artificial limits on how many TV stations any one company can own."

BREAKING....

Sources: Democratic governors held a call yesterday afternoon...

Just governors – no staffs – no one from campaign or WH...

Organized by Gov Tim Walz of Minnesota for the DGA...

1/4
On the call Dem. governors expressed concern about what's going on with the president

They know if they come forward publicly with concern that likely will cause Biden to dig in more

They were also surprised none of them had heard from him (!)

2/4
There was discussion on the call about wanting to have a call with the campaign or White House...

Some discussion about having VP Harris address them...

There was strong sentiment that they needed to hear directly from President Biden
