The ICE officer who shot a Colombian man in Maine this week is an Army vet who has struggled with serious mental health issues since early childhood & never should have been given a #badge & #gun to #patrol #US streets, several of his close relatives told AP.

#Trump says #ABC, #NBC licenses should be revoked over refusal to air speech on “election integrity”
Trump claimed without evidence that ABC & NBC declined to cover the speech because they were complicit in a larger fraud.
“They & others in the media are part of a plot. They want to continue this fraud for whatever reason. They want to keep it going. They want to protect the radical left,” he said.

“Our country has to shape up,” #Trump said, calling it a “big announcement.”
“It doesn’t get bigger,” he added, “because without free & fair elections, you don’t have a country.”

#Trump address
ABC, NBC & CNN decided not to air the remarks live. CBS said it was “airing a special report” during the address.
Trump began by repeating campaign-style boasts
The White House has created a new website posting documents that Trump claims reveal major ‘areas of concerns’ in #election security.
Trump made vague allegations including a rant against one of his favorite targets — “members of the deep state.”

#NBC, #ABC, and #CNN won't show it
Some networks that are mostly good will still carry it, some networks that are questionable won't carry it, but we at least acknowledge NBC ABC and CNN, regardless of other negative valid issues, on this specific topic, they recognized bullshit and rejected it, and we applaud them for that

#Trump says he will discuss #elections security & #VotingMachines in an address to the country Thursday night, a likely escalation in his gaslighting efforts to suggest that #US election results cannot be trusted.

#Trump has long claimed falsely that he unfairly lost the #2020election in Fulton County, Georgia, which includes Atlanta, &, despite a total lack of evidence, the #FBI field office has been investigating those claims.
Trump is making the prime-time announcement at the urging of advisers including #BillPulte, acting #DNI, & #JohnSolomon, a former conservative “journalist” who temporarily joined the White House to help review government records for release.…
The plan came after a confidential White House briefing on Monday to review findings from the #Trump admin’s broad reexamination of old #FBI records, including from the #2020election…. Trump then announced the speech on social media, without specifying the subject.
In recent weeks, FBI Dir #KashPatel has dispatched hundreds of agents to help the bureau’s Atlanta field office review 700 files by July 17….

Trump could use the address to press his long-standing allegations of foreign interference in the #2020election, the results of which he has never accepted. The speech, in part, will highlight claims that #China accessed US voter data…. Trump is also expected to discuss findings related to #Venezuela…

#Trump is planning a prime-time address on #2020election allegations.
Tomorrow night, Trump will argue that the country’s election infrastructure has vulnerabilities & refer to a recent probe of government files. He told reporters “it’s really big news.”

Emails Show #ToddBlanche Role in #Trump #Retribution Campaign
…Blanche, a methodical fmr federal prosecutor, created an organizational plan for the weaponization group that assigned key investigative lanes to some of his own deputies. That ensured…that he had tight control over one of the most sensitive issues on his plate — demands from Trump & his supporters to identify, investigate & punish those who had once pursued them.

#USMint to produce $1 gold-hued coin with Trump’s face on it, #treasury secretary says
The coin’s face features #Trump alongside the phrase “In God We Trust.” It is encircled with the phrases “Liberty” & “1776-2026.” The flip side of the coin shows an eagle holding arrows in one talon & olive branches in the other.
Since the start of his 2nd term, Trump & his allies have pushed to reissue federally created currency & documents to feature Trump’s name & face.

They think they can change Birthright Citizenship due to illegal immigration but refuse to do anything about guns in spite of all the dead schoolkids in America.

#Trump said Monday that he was reinstating the #US naval #blockade on #Iran ports, just over 3 weeks after ending a monthslong blockade.
Trump added that the US would begin charging #fees on ships transiting through the #StraitOfHormuz, claiming the US would levy a 20% fee “for any & all costs necessary” without elaborating on how it would work. In the social media post, he said the reinstated blockade would prevent “Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving.”

4 #US senators said Friday they had reached agreement with the #Trump admin to move forward with updated #legislation on #Russia #sanctions.
"We are proud to announce that we have reached an agreement with the Trump Administration to move our updated Russia sanctions legislation forward. We are very pleased with this significant progress & expect to roll out the legislation very soon," Sens Richard Blumenthal, Lindsey Graham, Jeanne Shaheen & Roger Wicker said.
Federal officials said they were stopping the vehicle in an #immigration enforcement operation. Ronaldo Salgado said his father may have been scared that the people in unmarked vehicles were coming to steal the tools he had used for 35 years to build homes, from sunrise to sunset, so he could send his three American sons to college.

“He did not deserve to die. He did not deserve to be reduced to a headline of Mexican man shot & killed by ICE. He deserved to live a quiet life as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a husband, a father & a job creator for dozens of men who also wanted the American dream,” Salgado said during a news conference.

#Antifa, short for “anti-fascist,” is a decentralized movement without a clear command structure or leader, reflecting a range of ideologies mostly on the political left, from anarchism to communism & everything in between. Unlike left-wing extremist groups of the 1960s & 1970s, such as Weather Underground, antifa does not issue manifestos or claim responsibility for actions.

The others received prison terms of 30 to 70 years on charges such as rioting, providing support to terrorists & conspiracy to use & carry explosives. [so all #Jan6 offenders should suffer the same fate]
Defense attorneys called the prosecution politically motivated.

That led to a criminal investigation that culminated last month in lengthy prison sentences given to several members of what prosecutors called an “antifa cell” — one defendant received 100 years — for their roles last summer in a protest outside an #ICE facility in Texas during which a police officer was shot. The person sentenced to 100 years was convicted of attempted murder.

The invitation list…included most European nations, larger Latin American countries & several Asian states, including India, Indonesia & Singapore. The #State Department did not respond to a request seeking to understand how the list of invitees was drawn up.
#Trump has made no secret of his disdain for #Antifa, going so far as to issue an executive order in the fall branding it a “domestic terrorist organization,” a rhetorical label that experts say carries no legal weight.
…Some said, too, they were unsure why they had been invited. “We don’t have antifa,” said one European diplomat.
“I don’t think we can find any reason why we would be interested in attending such an event,” said another.
“Our law enforcement authorities have not focused on left-wing terrorism because this is not considered a high priority threat in our country,” said a third.

But achieving that status for #Antifa would be a stretch, experts say.
#US #law requires a group be foreign to be designated. “If it has any significant domestic presence, it cannot be designated,” said Jason Blazakis, who ran the #State Department’s designation process for 10 years before leaving in 2018.
