JPMorgan Chase has now admitted, in a court filing, to closing former President Donald Trump’s and his businesses’ accounts in February 2021. This acknowledgment comes in response to Trump’s $5 billion lawsuit alleging political motivations behind the “debanking” following the Jan. 6th Capitol attack. The bank’s filing states that it informed the plaintiffs of account closures by its private and commercial banks, a detail previously unconfirmed in writing by JPMorgan, which had cited privacy laws for its reticence. This admission is a significant development in the legal battle, with Trump’s legal team calling it a “devastating concession” that validates his claims of unlawful debanking and financial harm.

It seems that the cycle of certain individuals involved in the January 6th events continuing to engage in criminal behavior is, unfortunately, not a surprising development. The recent news of a January 6th rioter, who had previously received a presidential pardon, now pleading guilty to threatening a prominent Democratic leader, specifically Representative Hakeem Jeffries, underscores this ongoing pattern. It’s almost as if a presidential pardon for acts of insurrection acts as a strange sort of encouragement, a tacit acknowledgment that their previous actions, while criminal, might be viewed with a degree of leniency by some. This latest guilty plea paints a picture of habitual offenders, individuals seemingly undeterred by their initial brush with the law and subsequent presidential intervention.… Continue reading
Drawing on his experience as a Capitol Police officer injured on January 6, 2021, Harry Dunn has launched a campaign for an open U.S. House seat in Maryland, vowing to dismantle Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Dunn directly links the aggression he witnessed from immigration agents to that of the January 6th mob, citing federal immigration actions as “terrorizing people more than serving.” His campaign emphasizes a need for a “first responder” in Congress, arguing that current leadership is enabling harmful practices, particularly within the immigration system, which he contends is targeting non-criminals rather than those who pose a threat. Dunn is prepared to return to Washington with legislative power to challenge what he describes as ongoing falsehoods and misrepresentations of critical events.

Speaking in the Oval Office, President Trump claimed his “silent majority” of supporters “don’t riot” while defending his deportation policies, seemingly referencing anti-ICE protests. This statement was made weeks after the fifth anniversary of the January 6th Capitol riot, in which Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building. Social media users quickly pointed out this contradiction, sharing footage of the riot that resulted in multiple deaths and accusations that Trump incited the insurrection. Polls show that the majority of Americans disagree with Trump’s immigration policies, which indicates a vulnerability for Republicans in the upcoming 2026 midterms.

The author believes that former President Trump will attempt to steal the upcoming midterms, citing his past attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his ongoing rhetoric questioning the validity of elections. Trump’s actions, including pardoning those involved in the January 6th insurrection and weakening voting safeguards, demonstrate his intent. Furthermore, efforts to suppress voter turnout, like the proposed SAVE Act, are indicative of a concerted effort to manipulate the election’s outcome. The author warns that officials and voters should anticipate interference and take proactive steps to ensure the integrity of the voting process.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: You’re all being ‘incited into civil war’
It’s a bizarre twist, isn’t it? Here’s Marjorie Taylor Greene, a figure who’s spent a career stoking the flames of division, now claiming we’re all being “incited into civil war.” The irony is almost palpable. It’s hard not to notice that she seems to be drawing a line in the sand regarding the current political climate, which seems rather convenient considering her past actions. She’s been a vocal supporter of movements and ideologies that actively contribute to the very tensions she’s now decrying.
Greene, in her statements, attempts to frame herself as a defender of various constitutional rights, including the Second Amendment and free speech.… Continue reading
Special Counsel Jack Smith, during a hearing before a Republican-led congressional committee, asserted that President Trump’s actions in the 2020 election conspiracy and classified documents cases clearly violated the law. Smith presented evidence demonstrating Trump’s criminal activity, emphasizing that his investigation was based solely on facts and not political motivations. Despite facing criticism from Republican lawmakers, Smith defended his pursuit of the cases, specifically highlighting Trump’s role in the January 6th attack and the mishandling of classified documents. Although indictments were won in both cases, the cases were abandoned due to existing legal opinions.

Jack Smith tells Congress Trump was guilty ‘beyond a reasonable doubt,’ and frankly, it feels like stating the obvious. The sheer volume of evidence, the testimonies, the actions witnessed by the entire nation – it all points in one undeniable direction. The January 6th Congressional Hearings laid it all out for everyone to see. The depth of the alleged crimes, the blatant disregard for the law, and the impact on the foundations of democracy are all alarming.
The fact that there’s a debate over Trump’s guilt feels absurd. We saw the footage, we heard the words, and we witnessed the aftermath.… Continue reading
President Trump is seeking a court order to block the Justice Department from releasing the second volume of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report concerning the 2020 election and classified documents. The motion argues that the release would expose sensitive grand jury materials and privileged information. The first volume focused on election obstruction, while the unreleased second volume focuses on the handling of classified documents. Trump’s motion cites previous rulings that dismissed charges against him, and claims Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional.
