DOJ just indicted perennial GOP candidate & conspiracy theorist Omar Navarro, who always runs against Maxine Waters, on 43 counts—including "funneling tens of thousands of dollars in campaign donations back to himself through his friends & family."

They arrested his mom as part of the conspiracy.

So many frens of Flynn getting indicted and convicted. It’s almost like a pattern of corruption

Amid ongoing crises in housing and childcare, thousands of local children, working families, and residents facing homelessness will be hurt by major cuts to social service programs approved by the Sarasota County Commission, several nonprofits say.

Over the past 3 years, Sarasota became the MAGA Capital of FL with Trump Media, Moms for Liberty, Rumble & Cyber Ninjas HQing there along with new residents like Mike Flynn. Now people in the community find out what that means.

The Flynn brigade is also trying to take down Sarasota Memorial Health Care, which did a superb job in responding to the pandemic. He should be tried for crimes against humanity for that alone.

Last time there was a government shutdown, 800,000 Americans were furloughed or worked without pay.

But enjoy your weekend.

NEW: Congress is officially heading home for the weekend after House GOP hardliners once again tanked plans to fund the government by the Oct. 1 deadline.

Hours after the publication of our story this morning, attorney Lin Wood confirmed he will be a state’s witness after receiving a subpoena to testify in Sidney Powell’s case — but he denies that means he “flipped” on Trump.

BREAKING: Jeffrey Clark is starting to TURN on Trump.

Clark now claims that he tried to get DOJ to co-sign false claims of voter fraud ONLY because he was pressured to do so by Donald Trump in late 2020.

Clark is throwing Trump under the bus.

BREAKING: MAGA world suffers another humiliating setback in court as the lawyers of Jeffrey Clark — a former Trump assistant attorney general indicted in Georgia — openly admit that they're doing terribly.

During a court appearance today, Clark and his lawyers argued in favor of moving his trial to federal court, where they hope that he can land a jury polluted by Trump supporters.

The judge, who was reportedly "visibly frustrated and annoyed" grilled the attorneys over their frivolous request so intensely and extensively that one of them muttered aloud: "This is not good.

As a general rule, if you're lawyer thinks you're screwed, you're screwed. If Clark had any sense he'd plead guilty, flip on Trump, and try to save his own skin. Perhaps he will.

Jeffrey Clark’s push to move his trial from Fulton County to Federal Court is not going well.

By not going well, I mean:

- he didn’t show up for the hearing

- Judge Jones was not inclined to enter his written statement as evidence

- the Judge also declined to admit portions of a supporting affidavit by former AG Meese

Time to pick out some trial pants, Jeff.
