Federal defendants in Sacramento walked free. The reason: No paid lawyers
The U.S. government failed to pay defense lawyers for months, leading Sacramento federal judges to dismiss or delay cases.

You might wonder why Imran Ahmed and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) suddenly became targets of the U.S. government. The honest answer is that their research hit where it hurt.

Any dissent will be quashed. If this regime advocates child molestation, then every one of its followers also must advocate that. If you do not, you will be considered a danger to dear leader.
MAGA did not take kindly to Trump's post Wednesday, which included calling his followers' Epstein theories a "hoax," and claiming they're doing Democrats' bidding.
