⚖️ Michael Cohen sues Donald Trump and Bill Barr for violating his First Amendment rights

TFG's ex-lawyer Michael Cohen announced Thursday that he will be filing a lawsuit against his former boss and former Attorney General Bill Barr after they
rawstory.com/michael-cohen-…
tried to kill his First Amendment rights.

When Cohen was put in prison, COVID-19 was raging through the country and, namely through prisons. As a result, many correctional facilities put non-violent offenders on house arrest, including Cohen. To let him out, however, Cohen was
told he'd have to sign a statement promising he wouldn't publish his book until he had served his entire prison term, which would come after Trump's presidency. It also demanded that he wouldn't speak to the press.

Cohen refused and was sent back to FCI-Otisville, where he waged
a lawsuit.

"I make the finding that the purpose of transferring Mr. Cohen from home confinement to jail is retaliatory, and it’s retaliatory because of his desire to exercise his First Amendment rights to publish a book," Senior U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said.
Best of luck with the court case @MichaelCohen212, I was hoping you'd move forward with this, oh and 😂🤣😂

⚖️ THE LASTEST CON, UPDATE: CEO of Trump's social media 'blank check company' sued by investor for 'brazen act of fraud'

On Thursday, Axios reported that a private equity investor, Brian Shevland, is suing the CEO of the so-called "blank check company"

behind TFG's attempt to build a new social media platform — and that he is alleging a fraud scheme.

"The lawsuit comes just a week after Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC), led by Patrick Orlando, disclosed that it's under investigation by federal securities regulators.
It also comes several months before Trump's company is slated to launch its first public products," reported Dan Primack. "Shevland was an early director nominee of DWAC, but claims in his lawsuit that he was removed by Orlando without warning or notification — a move that denied

🇺🇸 Biden finds acceptance in tornado-battered Trump country: 'I’d even call him president'

The president toured tornado devastation in western Kentucky, where voters backed Donald Trump by nearly a 4-to-1 margin last year and many still refuse to accept
rawstory.com/joe-biden-kent…
him as the rightful winner, but even those who protested his election were glad that he visited.

“I didn’t vote for the president, and I’m not a fan of his policies,” said Clayton Howe, a 57-year-old lifelong resident of Mayfield, which was flattened in last week's storms. "But
I appreciate him being here. He’s still the president of the United States.”

Biden won only two of Kentucky's 120 counties, where tattered Trump flags waved amid the ruined homes and businesses, and reporters heard a few shouts of "Let's go Brandon," a conservative in-group slur

neighborhood in the city of Blackfoot. The activity involved pinning the 'turkey' notes to doors, and then ringing the occupant’s doorbell and running away, leaving them to find the message. When the girls stopped at Rowland’s house, he allegedly told his wife to fetch him his

😳 THE GOP BLAME GAME: It started just over two weeks ago with a Wall Street Journal opinion headline: “Biden’s covid Death Milestone: More Americans have died of the virus in 2021 than in all of 2020.”

That unleashed the pig pile.
rawstory.com/biden-is-under…
"Republican politicians and their right-wing media sock puppets fell over themselves claiming Biden and Trump were somehow the same on covid. Or perhaps – gasp – Trump was better. It’s hogwash.

This maneuver is actually an intentional, subversive attack on our brains, a gateway
drug for an even more devastating reframing of how we think about the pandemic.

A lot is riding on whether Republicans can pull this off.

The pandemic is the fulcrum of our politics, the most important dynamic in all of our lives, the key to most Americans’ economic experience,

🏴‍☠️ BREAKING THE LAW: Trump's DC hotel lease had 'zero checks and balances' as federal agency 'washed hands'

EXCERPT "The report is based on 14,000 pages of newly obtained GSA records that were first requested by the committee two years ago, but which the

Trump administration declined to turn over.

"The GSA 'washed its hands of any responsibility' to review whether the emoluments clauses of the Constitution were being followed, including by trying to ensure that profits from foreign governments didn’t benefit Trump,"
"The agency did not take any steps to identify expenditures by foreign or domestic government officials and implemented 'zero checks and balances' to make sure the hotel's calculations of such payments were 'fair, complete and accurate,' the committee found."
