Biden administration unveils process to allow deported veterans to return to the US
Returning to the U.S., the DHS officials argued, would grant deported veterans access to Department of Veterans Affairs benefits, lawyers and the U.S. immigration system, where they could reopen their deportation cases and seek forms of relief to remain in the country legally.
The overall objective is to "support humane and consistent outcomes," the memo said.

BOOK EXCERPT JUNE 28, 2021
Donald Trump’s January 6
The view from inside the Oval Office.
Early in Trump’s presidency, aides noted that a second-floor office, where the likes of Stephen Miller and Kellyanne Conway worked, meant a degree of exclusion but also protection: Trump would never climb the stairs (and, by the end of his term, he never had).

The Weisselberg Indictment Is Not A “Fringe Benefits” Case
Grasping the Full Scope of the Alleged Criminal Scheme
8. Fraudulent mischaracterization of employee compensation, supported by deceptive bookkeeping – The company also reported Weisselberg’s annual end-year payments ($400,000 for the years 2011-2018) as non-employee compensation, using Form 1099 rather than the W-2 that is used for salary (¶16). He relied on this mischaracterization to make deductible annual contributions out of these amounts to a Keogh plan, which is a tax-deferred pension plan that one can deductibly fund by using self-employment income, but not employee wages (¶¶15 and 17). To help support this characterization (which the indictment asserts Weisselberg knew was false), end-year payments would be made by Trump Organization entities of which he was not an employee, such as the Mar-a-Lago Club and Wollman Rink Operations LLC (¶¶15 and 17). This creation of a false paper trail – since he had not directly performed services for these entities supporting the receipt of such payments from them, even as an independent contractor – fits the alleged pattern of not merely taking incorrect tax positions, but engaging in intentionally misleading overt acts in support of a conspiracy to defraud.[3] It also arguably shows consciousness of guilt.

Alabama’s Mo Brooks Claims He Can’t Be Sued Over Capitol Riot

Yet another reason to give him your money...
Trump sues Facebook, Twitter and Google, claiming censorship
The lawsuits ask a judge to invalidate Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a law that has been called the backbone of the internet because it provides websites with protections from liability over content posted by users. Trump and others who have attacked Section 230 say it has given big internet companies too much legal protection and allowed them to escape responsibility for their actions.
"This complaint is hard to even make sense of," said Paul Gowder, a professor of law at Northwestern University.

"Come on, let's grift again,

Yeah, let's grift again.
