Judge Hands Musk’s X Win In Lawsuit Against California's Content-Moderation Law

 by Tom Ozimek via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

A federal appeals court has granted X Corp.’s request to block part of a California state law that requires social media platforms to disclose their content moderation and anti-hate speech policies.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an order on Sept. 4 that grants X Corp.’s request for a preliminary injunction and reverses a district court’s ruling against the Elon Musk-owned social media company in a legal challenge to California’s Assembly Bill (AB) 587.

The court said the bill’s content-moderation provisions are not narrowly tailored to serve California’s purported goal of requiring social media companies to be transparent about their content-related practices, and may amount to unconstitutionally compelled speech.

“The panel held that X Corp. was likely to succeed on the merits of its claim that the Content Category Report provisions facially violate the First Amendment,” the appeals court judges wrote in their opinion.

AB 587 requires large social media companies to post their terms of service and to submit periodic reports to the California Attorney General’s office about their content-moderation practices and policies.

A key provision of the bill requires a semiannual report detailing how the platforms define six categories of content: hate speech or racism; extremism or radicalization; disinformation and misinformation; harassment; foreign political interference; and controlled substance distribution.

X Corp. argued in its lawsuit, which named California Attorney General Robert Bonta as defendant, that the law intends to pressure social media companies to censor content that the government deems objectionable and improperly compels speech in violation of the First Amendment.

“The legislative record is crystal clear that one of the main purposes of AB 587—if not the main purpose—is to pressure social media companies to eliminate or minimize content that the government has deemed objectionable,” X Corp. attorneys argued in their complaint.

In December 2023, a district court handed X Corp. a loss, denying the company’s request for a preliminary injunction. U.S. District Judge William Shubb found that the Content Category Report provisions aren’t “unjustified or unduly burdensome within the context of First Amendment law.”

Shubb acknowledged in his order that compliance with the provisions may carry a significant burden on social media companies, but he concluded that the periodic reports that include the mandated content policy and practice disclosures are merely factual and “uncontroversial.”

“The mere fact that the reports may be ‘tied in some way to a controversial issue’ does not make the reports themselves controversial,” the judge wrote in his eight-page opinion.

The district court judge determined that X Corp. was unlikely to succeed on the merits of its First Amendment claim and that the bill’s provisions are reasonably related to the state’s interest in transparency.

X Corp. appealed, leading to the Sept. 4 ruling, holding that the Content Category Report provisions likely compel noncommercial speech and probably fail the strict scrutiny standard because they are not narrowly tailored to serve the state’s transparency interest.

In reversing the lower court’s decision to deny X Corp.’s request for a preliminary injunction, the 9th Circuit instructed the district court to issue one in line with the panel’s opinion. In addition, the lower court must determine if the Content Category Report provisions can be separated from the rest of AB 587 and, if so, to determine whether any other challenged provisions should also be blocked.

A spokesperson for the California Attorney General’s office told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement that it’s reviewing the opinion and “will respond appropriately in court.”

The legal battle between X Corp. and the state of California over AB 587 is part of a broader trend where social media platforms and industry groups have pushed back against laws around content moderation on First Amendment grounds.

Recently, the 9th Circuit appeals court issued a ruling that upheld the data privacy-related provisions of California’s online child safety laws, while striking down those that required social media platforms to assess and mitigate risks of harmful content. The appeals court found that the blocked provisions likely violate free speech rights.

Shuttle Pharma Q2 Update/Outlook

 Shuttle Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SHPH) (“Shuttle Pharma”), a discovery and development stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on improving outcomes for cancer patients treated with radiation therapy (RT), today provided a corporate update in connection with the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Shuttle Pharma’s recent highlights include the following:

• Enrollment of patients in the Phase 2 clinical trial of Ropidoxuridine for the treatment of patients with glioblastoma has recently opened following the entry of agreements with two site locations to administer the trial. Ropidoxuridine (IPdR) is Shuttle Pharma's lead candidate radiation sensitizer for use in combination with RT to treat brain tumors (glioblastoma), a deadly malignancy of the brain with no known cure.
• Shuttle Pharma expects the Phase 2 clinical trial will be carried out at six site locations, with two sites now ready to start treating patients and all sites anticipated to be treating patients in the coming months.
• Shuttle Pharma has received Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA, providing potential marketing exclusivity upon first FDA approval for the disease.
  

“We achieved a significant milestone recently with the commencement of our Phase 2 clinical trial of Ropidoxuridine for the treatment of patients with glioblastoma now officially underway and ready to enroll patients,” stated Shuttle Pharma’s Chairman and CEO, Anatoly Dritschilo, M.D. “To date, we have entered into agreements with two of the planned six site locations with an additional four sites set to come on board in September. The two initial sites have completed site initiation visits and are fully ready to begin treating patients. The results of this Phase 2 clinical trial will determine clinical efficacy of Ropidoxuridine as a radiation sensitizer with the goal of increasing cancer cure rates, prolonging patient survival, and improving the quality of life for patients suffering from glioblastoma.”

The Phase 2 clinical trial will be conducted on patients with the most aggressive brain tumors out there – IDH wild-type, methylation negative glioblastoma. Presently, radiation is the only approved standard of care for this particular group of patients, with more than half of the patients surviving for less than 12 months after diagnosis. Shuttle Pharma’s Phase 2 clinical trial will consist initially of 40 patients randomized into two different doses (20 @ 1,200 mg/day and 20 @ 960 mg/day) to determine an optimal dose. Once the Company determines the optimal dose, then an additional 14 patients will be enrolled on the optimal dosage allowing for the achievement of statistical significance with the end point being that of survival as compared to historical controls. The Company expects the trial to be completed over a period of 18 to 24 months.

75% Of Midtown NYC Arrests Illegals; Veteran Prosecutor Blames "Pathetic" Sanctuary City Laws

 In yet another headline you won't see from corporate media, 75% of those arrested in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery, and domestic violence are migrants.

In Queens, it's around 60%, the NY Post reports, citing police sources.

On any given day, Big Apple criminal court dockets are packed with asylum seekers who have run afoul of the law.

The problem is made much worse by sanctuary city laws that mean New York cops aren’t allowed to work with ICE on cases in which they believe suspects are in the country illegally. Additionally, the NYPD says it is barred from tracking the immigration status of offenders.

According to the report, the sanctuary city laws make it 'almost impossible' for authorities to handle the problem.

"New York City eliminated a tool to get rid of violent criminals. What a mess," said Jim Quinn, a veteran former prosecutor at the Queens District Attorney’s Office.

"The sanctuary city law is pathetic. It’s disgusting. It’s crazy."

Compounding matters, police sources say that word has gotten out among the migrant community about NYC's soft-on-crime policies which kicks criminals back onto the street quickly after they're arrested.

And even if they do end up serving time, one Bronx cop told the Post: "They don’t care if they get arrested — they laugh if they get sent to Rikers. Where they come from, they get tortured in jail."

The problem is so bad that Democrat Mayor Eric Adams has called on the City Council to change the sanctuary city laws - saying last week: "Right now, we don’t have the authorization to be able to go and coordinate with ICE. We have to follow the law."

According to a NYPD spokesperson, overall crime may be down last year, however they confirmed that "police officers are prohibited from asking about the immigration status of crime victims, witnesses, or suspects and therefore the NYPD doesn’t track data pertaining to immigration statuses."

"I would say about 75% of the arrests in Midtown Manhattan are migrants, mostly for robberies, assaults, domestic incidents and selling counterfeit items," one Midtown officer told the outlet.

He said the figure is an estimate because “you can’t be 100% sure [they’re migrants] unless you arrest them in a shelter or they’re dumb enough to give you a shelter address.”

Another Manhattan cop said that excluding petty larcenies at drugstores, the number of local arrests involving migrants is “easily” 75%, noting that most who get caught shoplifting go more for the pricey branded goods.

"They can’t be bothered with lower-end stores. They like Lululemon and Sunglass Hut," said the Manhattan cop, adding that migrants are responsible for "most" of the pickpocketing and similar crimes that the NYPD encounters.

Meanwhile in the courts, "there are days we have so many migrant cases, we have to call in for extra Spanish interpreters," said one law enforcement officer at the Queens Criminal Courthouse. Another told The Post: "Come on Mondays! Almost every case is a migrant."

Some of the crimes migrants are being arrested for include gang violence or vicious sexual assaults.

Venezuelan migrant Yurlex Daniel Guzman Quintero was arraigned in Queens Criminal Court on Aug. 28, accused of a deplorable act of sexual abuse against his girlfriend in which he viciously choked her and held a knife to her head. Court documents allege it all happened in front of her child.

The same day, migrant Dionisio Moran Flores was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court for allegedly raping his 5-year-old daughter. He was ordered held on $150,000 bail. -NY Post

The Post also notes that Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, which has been terrorizing citizens around the country, has also set up shop in NYC and are already tied to hundreds of crimes - including the shootings of two NYPC officers who were trying to arrest a member in June. The gang has been arming up - smuggling guns into city-run shelters in food delivery bags in an effort to evade metal detectors.

"Most of the people we arrest are professionals — these aren’t their first crimes," said one law enforcement source, who added that Biden-Harris open border policies combined with sanctuary city laws are responsible for the current situation.

"Crime would be down significantly if there was a wall and we could account for everyone who comes into the country," the source told The Post. "And more importantly, throw them out if they commit a crime."

Popular Conservatives Allegedly Tricked Into $10M Russian Influence Campaign: DOJ

September surprise:

 The DOJ has accused several conservative influencers of unwittingly working for a Kremlin-funded media outlet.

A federal indictment unsealed on Wednesday alleges that a Tennessee-based media company, later identified as Tenet Media, received nearly $10 million from employees of Russian state-backed media company, Russia Today (RT), as part of "a scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging."

The DOJ claims that RT and two of its employees - Kostiantyn “Kostya” Kalashnikov and Elena “Lena” Afanasyeva - worked to funnel money to Tenet Media as part of a series of "covert projects" aimed at shaping narratives within Western audiences.

The indictment specifically notes that the influencers - including Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin and Lauren Southern - had no idea they were taking Russian money, and were deceived. They were told by Tenet founder Lauren Chen - who allegedly knew the true source of the funds - that the money was from a wealthy private investor named "Eduard Grigoriann."

At least one of the influencers asked for a profile on Grigoriann before signing a contract - and was given a fabricated one-page profile.

This was apparently sufficient, as two of the commentators (believed to be Tim Pool and Benny Johnson) signed contracts which paid Pool $100,000 per podcast, while Johnson was paid $400,000 per month plus a $100,000 signing bonus for "four weekly videos."

While Pool and Johnson have issued statements (below), it's been pointed out that Lauren Chen has recently been trying to divide Donald Trump's base...

In a Wednesday statement on X, Pool says that should the allegations prove true, "I as well as the other personalities and commentators were deceived and are victims," and ends by telling haters to "eat my irish ass."

Johnson says "Our lawyers negotiated a standard, arms length deal, which was later terminated," adding "We are disturbed by the allegations in today’s indictment, which make clear that myself and other influencers were victims in this alleged scheme."

We're sure the timing of this, two months before the election, was a total coincidence. How long has the DOJ been sitting on this? Why did it drop a day after we learned that a Chinese spy was working for NY Gov. Kathy Hochul, or that Poole was going to sue Kamala Harris for defamation?

And of course, the NeverTrumpers like Rick Wilson are giddy with joy...

Public records requests reveal Mass. welfare recipients spending EBT funds in tropical locations

 For anyone wondering how Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty is going, allow me to provide an update—things are just swell! After 60 years of big-spending, anti-poverty programs, the downtrodden and impoverished huddled masses who just needed a little help to get back on their feet are now so well-off, they’re living like the middle class, able to enjoy the conveniences of modern travel, landing in the tropical paradises of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean, and even heading off to the wilds of Alaska.

I guess I should mention one minor detail though—they’re using their welfare EBT cards to foot the bill. Here are the details, from a report by Joe Dwinell at the Boston Herald:

Massachusetts welfare dollars spent in Hawaii, Virgin Islands, Alaska: ‘What the hell is someone doing in Hawaii?

Welfare recipients can’t use ATMs in casinos and pot shops, but that didn’t stop them from firing up EBT cards in Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, California, Florida, and Alaska.

…

Data obtained by the Herald through a public records request shows taxpayer-paid ‘economic assistance’ for Massachusetts residents cropped up from Alabama to Arizona, Pennsylvania to Puerto Rico, Utah to Wyoming and all the New England states.

(For anyone not tracking, EBT stands for Electronic Benefits Transfer which is the welfare system that loads funds onto a recipient’s card.)

Of course, I take great issue with this, as this is my money. I earned it, and I need it to feed my family, pay my mortgage and utilities, and clothe my children. If someone can afford a plane ticket to “visit family” 4,000 miles away, then they can certainly afford to prioritize groceries and diapers. I myself haven’t visited Hawaii, or Alaska, because with a finite amount of money, private school for my boys and a stable roof over their head is more important.

So, maybe things aren’t so swell after all. I guess if the goal were to empower people to be self-sufficient (this is the stated mission of the state’s welfare agency), the big-spending, anti-poverty programs of the progressive Democrats kind of just trapped people in low-income lifestyles: perpetually rent in Section 8 housing properties, surrender your children to failing public schools, and work a dead-end job. But hey, get your hair and nails done, maybe a new sleeve of tattoos, and blow any extra cash on plane tickets to take a luxurious vacation to “visit family,” supplementing the expenses with your welfare card.

Remember the story about the young moms who participated in a cash-assistance program in D.C.? One used the $10,800 lump-sum to splurge on a glamorous trip to Florida with “new outfits” for her kids and frittered hundreds away for a personal glow-up; another blew $600 on a birthday bash for her toddler. Here’s what the first mom had to say about the windfall:

‘Do you know how good I look in this picture? I didn’t have to look like a working, stressed mom,’ she recalled.

We call this… vanity.

When you’re dead broke, the last thing you need to prioritize is brand-new clothes (I myself thrift my own wardrobe), or a weave, or a cruise along the waterways to see all the Miami mansions.

Poor people are poor… because they make poor financial decisions.

In Kamala's 'tough-on-the-border' policy, 'the wheels of the bus go round and round'

 By Monica Showalter

With all of that tough border talk from Kamala Harris on the campaign trail, illegals were in for good news when the Harris-Biden administration announced a fresh goodie for them: Free bus rides and armed security from southern Mexico to the U.S., all expenses paid. All they have to do to get it is use the Department of Homeland Security's CBP One border app.

According to Breitbart News:

The latest development between the Biden/Harris administration and the government of Mexico on the immigration front will see migrants provided bussing from two southern Mexico cities to the United States border. The plan will provide the migrants headed to the United States with meals and security during travel from the two cities to the U.S. destination where the migrant’s asylum appointments are scheduled under the CBP-One application.

The government of Mexico’s National Institute of Migration (INM) announced the new program in a Spanish-language notice issued on Saturday, referring to the initiative as the “Secure Emerging Mobility Corridor.” The two departure cities in southern Mexico will be Villahermosa, Tabasco, and Tapachula, Chiapas.

The trips, which will come courtesy of the Mexican government, following a conversation Harris's and Biden's staff likely had with Mexico's still-current leader, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who will be likely taking aid from the U.S. for it.

Breitbart continues:

The program’s announcement comes a week after authorities with Mexico’s INM and Biden/Harris administration representatives met in Mexico to expand the geographic region in Mexico where migrants can request CBP-One asylum appointments. The program had restricted access to schedule appointments in central and northern Mexico until last week. Allowing the appointment in southern Mexico will now allow both governments to regulate the flow of migrant travel through Mexico.

The free trips will come with free meals, courtesy security, a 20-day crossing pass through Mexico, meaning, illegals can stop and see the sights, and an appointment at the end of the journey at a U.S. Border Patrol station where would-be crossers will have a 99% chance at being admitted -- either as asylum-seekers, or with parole under the CHV arrangement, or any of a banquet of other possibilities, to be released free and clear throughout the country.

Sound like a good deal for illegals? Of course it is. Nothing could be easier than to get govenment-paid security and free food and transport just for signing up through the app for its daily 1,450 slots for appointments for catch-and-release policies. Anyone who's been waiting a long time because their number didn't get picked gets an extra kick of priority, making it all the better for the illegals, incentivizing them to keep trying for that free stuff instead of going on their own.

Which may be great for them, but it's not exactly tough on the border, let alone the cost and mess of allowing thousands of illegals into the country, claiming asylum after crossing multiple borders, with neither vetting or even capacity to take them.

Ostensibly, it was to take "pressure" off Mexico's southern cities where illegals are being kept until after the U.S. election. The 'pressure' now is now being transferred to the states, where our cities can pay for them. Nice deal for Mexico, too. 

But here we have Harris, saying she's the tough guy on the border, following three years of illegal border crossings where 20 million have rolled in:

“As vice president, she backed the toughest border control bill in decades,” a narrator states on the video. “And as president, she will hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking. Fixing the border is tough. So is Kamala Harris.”

Migrants act on incentives offered to them, and this one is a doozy of a good one to head on up north. And there are lot who'd like to -- a recent report out of Africa says that 58% of Africans would like to get the heck out of their own countries in the next three years, with most saying they'd like to head to the states. Over in Venezuela, more than 40% of what's left of that country say they'd like to leave, too, in the wake of Nicolas Maduro's stolen election. With Joe Biden and Kamala Harris doing nothing effective on that, and Mexico actually encouraging election-thief Maduro, the plans for the trip north with free bus rides just gave an extra reason to go.

Meanwhile, Texas Public Radio says the whole scheme to make the journey north for migrants free of cost other people have to pay, is to make the trips to the states less dangerous:

A May report from Human Rights Watch found asylum seekers waiting for CBP One appointments in Mexico were vulnerable to kidnappings, violence and extortion from organized crime.

So supposedly, these bus trips with Mexican security will make the journey to el norte safer, and the cost will be lower than what other people have to pay for security.

Sound like a tough-on-the-border policy? Not to normal people. If anything, it's a bigger incentive to come now that the guarantees are in place.

As to the claim that it will make crossings safer, that's a bit of a stretch, though, given cartel capacity to adapt to changing conditions.

They'll shake down and kidnap the migrants just before they get on the bus in the south, or just after they get off in the north, if not attack the buses in motion anyway with machine gun fire just to show Mexican troops who's boss. Cartels will not go away with this measure. Cartels always get their cut.

The whole incentive to migrate north is mainly a pro-offered carrot, with cartels making money as a result of it. This new incentive will undoubtedly have the same dynamic, providing good news for cartels, good news for migrants, and absolutely nothing but costs and crime to Americans.

Sound like a tough border policy? Only to an idiot whose knowledge of buses is to say 'the wheels of the bus go round and round.'

Stand With the January 6th Protestors

 By William Manning

During the Summer of 1932, in the depths of the Great Depression, twenty thousand WWI veterans travelled to Washington D.C., peaceably assembled, and demanded payment of a bonus the government had promised them for their service. On July 28, the Washington police were ordered to remove the veterans from buildings they were squatting in on Pennsylvania Avenue. The ragtag group, which called themselves the Bonus Expeditionary Force (BEF), threw stones at the police, fracturing the skull of an officer. The police opened fire on the veterans, killing two. President Herbert Hoover called on the Army to restore order. The Army, led by Douglas MacArthur, was instructed to “Surround the affected area and clear it without delay. Any women and children should be accorded every consideration and kindness. Use all humanity consistent with the execution of this order.”

As it transpired, three veterans were dead, 54 injured, and 153 arrested. Macarthur described the veterans as a communist insurrection “animated by the essence of revolution.” History recalls the protestors of the BEF differently. There is no evidence that the BEF was a communist insurrection but clear evidence the government used lethal force to remove unarmed, unemployed, malnourished veterans from the nation’s capital.

An insurrection is “an organized and armed uprising against authority or operations of government.” Democrats describe the events of January 6th as an insurrection. There is a report on the matter: contrived by Democrats, perpetrated by the DoJ, and distributed by the corporate media. This report is as illegitimate as General MacArthur’s observation that the protestors of the BEF were a communist-led insurrection.

President Trump’s intentions are clarified by his words and actions. Trump released a tweet on December 19, 2020, inviting supporters to a “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th.” Approximately 120,000 people accepted his invitation. Trump spoke to those in attendance, saying, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

Many of the protestors walked to the Capitol building. Some deviated from Trump’s instructions by attacking police and breaking windows to enter the building. The DoJ has charged 1,265 people with crimes related to the January 6th protest; 718 pled guilty to the charges, and 460 were locked up. Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed during the riot. Two others were killed under circumstances that suggest they were targeted by government security forces. Like the other protestors, they were unarmed and posed no serious threat to the police.

Were the protestors of January 6th involved in an insurrection? They carried no guns into the Capitol building. They fired no shots.

A few people may have entered the Capitol building to prevent the vice president from opening and counting the certified electoral votes from the states in the presence of a joint session of Congress. This is a constitutional requirement. If the votes aren’t counted, a President can’t be seated. Eight members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were convicted on charges of sedition for conspiring to prevent the counting of electoral votes.

The protest was hard to watch. Opening and counting the sealed and certified electoral votes affirms the sanctity of the American government in a constitutional ritual as much liturgy as governance. Challenges have occurred during the performance of this government operation, but it has never been interrupted by protestors voicing their grievances. History’s judgment of the January 6th protests may differ from that of the Select Committee to Investigate January 6th.

On December 16, 1773, a large group of American patriots threw 142 chests of tea into Boston Harbor. It took nearly three hours to dump 45 tons of tea into the water, which would be valued today at $1,000,000. Many Americans didn’t support the actions of the patriots because of the destruction of private property. Benjamin Franklin insisted that the British East India Company be reimbursed for the loss. George Washington privately suggested the participants “were mad.” Today the Boston Tea Party is considered one of the seminal events in American history.

Justice Samuel Alito has been castigated by Democrats because an upside-down flag was flown outside his home. Justice Alito advised members of Congress that the flag was flown by his wife, who makes flag-flying decisions at their home. An upside-down flag is “a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger.” If the flag can be burned in a demonstration of free speech, there is no reason why Ms. Alito can’t fly the flag upside down for the same reason.

While Democrats attempt to render fear in the public by pronouncing Donald Trump a wannabe autocrat in the image of Julius Caesar or Adolf Hitler, many Americans believe the country is in dire distress. People can casually watch the country flush itself down the toilet or voice their grievances and work to put the country on the right path.

The January 6th protestors had good reason to demonstrate inside the Capitol. Government agencies and bureaus had worked to undermine President Trump. The FBI had illegally investigated Trump’s 2016 campaign, harassed Trump’s National Security Advisor in the early days of his presidency, and leaked the Russia hoax to journalists anxious to bring Trump down. Democrat politicians embraced the Russia collusion story and then spitefully impeached Trump for no good reason. During the 2020 election, reporting on Hunter’s laptop, which contained evidence of Biden family corruption, was dismissed by 51 intelligence agency officials as more evidence of Russian support for Trump. The FBI pressured Facebook and other media businesses to suppress the laptop story.

Many believe Democrats cheated to win the 2020 election. From Boss Tweed to Mayor Daley to current ballot-stuffing operations, Democrats are notorious for cheating. The protestors on January 6th had reason to demand clean elections.

Perhaps the protestors went too far. Maybe their tactics were too brash. But the BLM riots of 2020 caused far more property damage, death, and injury. The recent Hamas protests have proven segments of the Democrat Party to be antisemitic. Many Democrat politicians supported these protests.

It is a danger to democracy for a political faction, government agencies, and powerful media organizations to conspire against the election of an opposing political faction. This is what happened during the 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns. Democrats, the FBI, intelligence agencies, and liberal media were committed to defeating Trump. The FBI, which should have worked to uncover this conspiracy, helped to direct it. This is tyranny. The protestors at the Boston Tea Party had to board a ship to conduct their protest. The protestors of January 6th entered the Capitol building to ensure their grievances were heard.

While Democrats deride Trump as a wannabe dictator, they conspire to dictate political terms. Democrats, the FBI, and intelligence agencies all worked to bring down the government of President Trump. This is treason. The protestors of January 6th stood against this tyranny and have been jailed for their trouble. All Americans should stand with the protestors against the tyranny of the Democrat party and insist on reform of the government bureaucracy.
