"A federal judge issued a broad preliminary injunction limiting the federal government from communicating with social-media companies about online content, ruling that Biden administration officials' policing of social-media posts likely violated the First Amendment.

"In a 155-page ruling issued Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty of Louisiana barred White House officials and multiple federal agencies from contacting social-media companies with the purpose of suppressing political views and other speech normally protected from government censorship.

"The judge's injunction came in a lawsuit led by the Republican attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana who alleged that the Biden administration fostered a sprawling 'federal censorship enterprise' in its effort to stamp out what it viewed as rampant disinformation circulating on social media."

"A senior Biden administration immigration policy adviser has a history of working with organizations that have advocated to 'abolish' U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to documents from activist groups reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

"Ramzi Kassem, who joined the White House in 2022 as the senior policy advisor for immigration at the Domestic Policy Council, helped produce research reports with anti-ICE groups for the City University of New York’s Creating Law Enforcement Accountability & Responsibility (CLEAR), a group he founded in 2009. He and his organization directly collaborated with, and still list as partners, several groups that have pushed to scrap ICE altogether as well as defund police departments."

"When Democrats settled on Joe Biden as their candidate in 2020, they seemed to think he would be perfectly fine. He wasn't completely crazy, he seemed moderate, he was happy enough to hide away in his basement to make the campaign all about President Trump, and he had enough experience in Washington to go along the established order that the nabobs of the capital city prefer.

"But like Taylor Swift pointed out in her 2008 hit song, sometimes Mr. Perfectly Fine turns out to be a disaster. Or as one friend of mine likes to put it, everything is fine until it is not fine.

"Biden has had some bad breaks in his life, and we should acknowledge the tragedy that he has had to endure up front. But when it comes to politics, Biden has been far luckier than good."

"Jonathan Turley said Monday that 'somebody's lying' about whether U.S. Attorney David Weiss was prevented by the Justice Department from seeking felony charges against Hunter Biden.

"Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee released transcripts Thursday of depositions from Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblowers who said Attorney General Merrick Garland and IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel lied to Congress about interference with the Hunter Biden probe. The whistleblowers said Weiss sought special counsel status and was denied permission to file felony charges against Biden in the District of Columbia and in California.

"'The different accounts that we've heard about what happened in this investigation cannot be reconciled,' Turley told 'America Reports' co-host Sandra Smith. 'Somebody's lying, and there is real criminal and impeachable conduct that could be raised and that means Congress' power is at its apex, and they can move forward and it needs to move forward and it has a full array of powers to do that with'"

"More than 200,000 immigrants were arrested after illegally crossing the southern border in May, according to the most recent numbers released last week by the Department of Homeland Security. That is a slight decline from the 211,000 arrested in April but still far short of the completely fabricated 70% decline the White House has been feeding to the press.

"The reality is that the 204,561 illegal immigrants encountered on the southern border last month is almost 10 times the number apprehended in former President Donald Trump's last May in office, and it is still far more than local border communities and sanctuary cities across the country can handle.

"...[T]his steady flow of illegal immigrants is straining community resources thousands of miles from the border. Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser has declared a state of emergency to deal with the constant influx of illegal immigrants. It is estimated that New York City will spend $4 billion on housing for illegal immigrants alone. And Illinois's healthcare spending on illegal immigrants has ballooned from $200 million a year to over $1 billion."

"Legal and ethics 'experts' quoted in recent articles targeting conservative justices on the Supreme Court for alleged ethics violations have strong connections to prominent Democrats like President Biden and former President Bill Clinton, but those details were not made apparent in the recent stories.

"In a Tuesday story titled 'Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court,' which was published by ProPublica, an individual named Kathleen Clark was quoted in a portion of the piece pertaining to disclosure matters and cited as an 'ethics law expert at Washington University in St. Louis.'

"But the publication failed to disclose that Clark -- who has lent quotes to other ProPublica articles in the past -- formerly worked for the Senate Judiciary Committee as a counsel while then-Senator Biden was chairman, according to Clark's resume, which was obtained from the Washington University in St. Louis' School of Law website.

"Additionally, Clark worked under now-President Biden the same year he led what several Republicans consider to be a smear campaign against Justice Clarence Thomas during his confirmation process in 1991. That information was not disclosed by Clark or ProPublica."

"Special Counsel John Durham testified Wednesday that the CIA in 2016 received intelligence that suggested Hillary Clinton had approved a plan to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia -- intelligence that the FBI ignored.

"Durham testified publicly for the first time before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, just weeks after releasing a report that found the Justice Department and the FBI never should have launched the Trump-Russia investigation.

"When asked about his findings, Durham said the FBI failed to 'sufficiently scrutinize information it received' and did not 'apply the same standards to allegations it received about the Clinton and Trump campaigns.'

"'The FBI was too willing to accept and use politically funded and uncorroborated opposition research, such as the Steele dossier,' Durham said. 'The FBI relied on the dossier and FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) applications, knowing there was likely material originating from a political campaign or political opponent.'"

"Hunter Biden's plea deal with federal prosecutors shields him from prison and other serious legal consequences if the judge accepts it, riling conservatives and even independent legal experts who saw it as fresh evidence of a dual system of justice. But it also opens a new chapter of political peril for his father.

"Joe Biden can no longer claim everything was legal in the family business now that his son is admitting to willful tax evasion. His administration also faces fewer excuses to withhold evidence of an alleged coverup in the Justice Department pursuit of the first son now that the case is wrapped up.

"And legal experts say Hunter Biden also may be compelled to testify before Congress and lose the right to invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

"'His own lawyer is saying this deal shields him from any further legal liability and that creates a reasonable basis to say his liability is over,' famed Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Just the News on Tuesday. 'He may still try to claim he has some unknown peril but it creates a situation where he can be forced to testify.'

"But well before any testimony from Hunter Biden, other bombshells await President Joe Biden."

"A newly declassified report confirms U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies have been buying up personal data on American citizens, raising bipartisan alarm about privacy and civil liberties.

The report compiled by a panel advising the Director of National Intelligence was completed back in January 2022 but was classified before being requested to be made public this month by Democrat Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden.

The report details how U.S. agencies have been buying massive datasets on Americans. The Internal Revenue Service purchased access to a database that stored the location data of millions of Americans’ phones to try to catch tax cheats, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Similar phone location data was obtained and used by Homeland Security for immigration purposes."
