Philadelphia’s Safe Path program placed adult monitors on and around 24 school campuses to help reduce violence and keep students safe. There’s evidence it was working. But it didn’t return to all those schools at the start of this school year. Why?

If New York Times journalists can so easily be conned by the third-grade rhetoric Trump uses to turn any situation to his advantage, what hope does the NYT think any average news-reading American has of remaining unaffected by the colossal and utterly grotesque con job Trump is subjecting us all to?

The DC shooting is a Reichstag Fire.
Trump granted the man asylum this spring. Trump agreed with the program that brought him here in 2021. There was full vetting. Trump’s DC op is why this happened.
Now it’s being used to end all immigration from nonwhite countries. And undo the Biden presidency.

The Afghan national accused of shooting two National Guard members near the White House this week underwent thorough vetting by counterterrorism authorities before entering the U.S., according to people with direct knowledge of the case.
Counterterrorism officials vetted Guard shooting suspect before he entered U.S.
Individuals with knowledge of the process that Rahmanullah Lakanwal went through contradicted senior Trump officials’ claim that he was not scrutinized.

To be clear—the shooting happened and was a tragedy. But the shooter was a CIA ally who suffered from mental health issues for things he did during the Trump administration and the Trump administration wanted him in the US. To use this event as a cause célèbre is a massive fraud.

Corp., 8 F.3d 52, 54 (D.C. Cir. 1993)).
In conducting such inquiry, Plaintiffs submit that the Court should "require the
government to promptly file declarations) identifying all individuals involved in the decision not
to halt the transfer of class members out of U.S. physical custody on March 15 and 16, 2025." ECF No. 193 (Pl. Resp.) at 1. "[O]nce these declarations are filed and depending on what
information they disclose, the Court should then determine the appropriate sequence of witness
testimony, and the manner in which that testimony should be provided." Id. The Government
similarly notes: "If the Court believes any further information is needed for [its inquiry],
Defendants respectfully request an opportunity to provide that information to the Court by way
of declarations in the first instance (as even Plaintiffs agree is appropriate)." Def. Resp. at 1.
The Court will adopt the parties' agreement on starting with declarations; it will then
assess the need for witness testimony. It therefore ORDERS that by December 5, 2025, the
Government shall submit declarations from all individuals involved in the decision not to halt the
transfer of class members out of U.S. physical custody on March 15 and 16, 2025. Such
declarations shall detail their roles in such decision.
