  • Tucker Carlson wonders how Laura Loomer got a Pentagon gig, and MTG has a savage answer | The Mary Sue

    Tucker Carlson demonstrates his Resting Idiot Face.

    The Republican party continues to divide, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be stopping or slowing down any time soon. If anything, the animosity between MAGA Republicans and regular Republicans seem to herald the collapse of something soon.

    On the Tucker Carlson show last week, Carlson asked, “ How does Laura Loomer get to be a Pentagon advisor?” Marjorie Taylor Greene, his guest for the show, replied, “I don’t know…this is a woman that can’t even legally buy a gun because she had such serious mental problems.”

    I reluctantly have to agree: How did she get to be a Pentagon advisor? Nothing in her resume looks like even a remote fit. However, given how the rest of the government staffing has gone under President Donald Trump’s recent term, it isn’t much of a surprise.

    What is a surprise is how quickly these party members have been to turn on each other. If they didn’t control our government it would almost be impressive.

    We also cannot ignore Greene’s comment. No, we are not endorsing her–or it–because we agree. A broken clock is right twice a day and all that. But do you understand how much you’ve had to do to get somebody like Greene to say something like this about you publicly, without being a Democrat?

  • Facebook Removes ICE-Tracking Group Under Pressure From Trump Regime

    [ad_1]

    Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Tuesday that the U.S. Justice Department had succeeded in getting Facebook to remove a group on the platform that allowed people in Chicago to alert their neighbors when ICE was in the area.

    “Today following outreach from @thejusticedept Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago,” Bondi wrote on X.

    “The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs,” Bondi continued. “The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.”

    Right-wing influencer Laura Loomer tweeted about a Facebook group called “ICE Sighting-Chicagoland” on October 8, which appears to be the group that was removed. Loomer claimed on Monday that she had been informed by a source at the Department of Justice that the agency had contacted Facebook’s parent company, Meta, about the page.

    “DOJ source tells me they have seen my report and they have contacted Facebook and their executives at META to tell them they need to remove these ICE tracking pages from the platform,” Loomer tweeted. “We will see if they comply. There are DOZENS of pages like the one below that endanger the lives of @ICEgov agents.”

    In an emailed statement to Gizmodo, Meta didn’t confirm the name but said a group “was removed for violating our policies against coordinated harm.” Meta didn’t respond to follow-up questions about what kind of specific activity was taking place that violated the policy. But the policy does note that it’s against the Facebook rules to out the undercover status of “law enforcement, military, or security personnel if the content contains the agent’s name, their face or badge.”

    It’s completely legal to share information about where police are operating. In fact, the idea that sharing such information should be illegal is only common in authoritarian countries. But Bondi and the Department of Justice have declared war on anyone sharing such basic information, characterizing it as dangerous or violent. And it is against Facebook’s policies for anyone to share information about the secret police that are currently roaming American streets, abducting people. It’s not clear, however, that “doxxing” is what led to the group being removed. That’s just the suggestion from the tech giant.

    ICE agents in the U.S. have been criticized for their lack of identification and their frequent use of masks while kidnapping people off the streets. Free countries typically don’t have masked agents of the state refuse to identify themselves, and experts have warned that the practice is just one more step in America’s descent into fascism. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, it should be noted, has become quite chummy with President Trump over the past year.

    ICE is currently engaging in a campaign of terror against residents of Chicagoland, and the stories that have been emerging are sometimes hard to believe. For example, the Chicago Tribune reported on Monday that a 44-year-old woman getting off a double shift at a bar downtown earlier this month was suddenly grabbed by three federal agents who zip-tied her hands. They questioned her for an hour, simply because she looked Latina, and didn’t believe her passport was real.

    From the Chicago Tribune:

    Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

    “I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

    During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley.

    “They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

    When the agents let her go, Greeley got home and screamed when she saw the shadow on her door. Days after the incident, Greeley said, it’s still “terrifying.”

    Another recent story from the Chicago Sun-Times explained how a raid on an apartment building saw people trying to protect their neighbors from getting kidnapped on Sept. 30. One resident hid a mother and her 7-year-old daughter for three days in a way that many have compared to the story of Anne Frank.

    There are countless stories like that emerging from the Chicago area, which makes it that much more galling when Bondi insists that sharing information about ICE is somehow creating a danger for the ICE agents.

    Apple also recently removed apps that allowed people to share the location of federal agents spotted in their neighborhoods. Bondi took credit for pressuring Apple to disappear the apps. The removals are eerily similar to what happened during pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong in 2019, where Apple also removed an app that allowed users to see Hong Kong police movements via crowdsourced information.

    Is the U.S. becoming more and more like China with each passing day? Even the Wall Street Journal seems to think so. And when Bondi calls Americans who don’t like to see their neighbors abducted “radicals,” you know we’re in a very bad place as a country.

  • Why Samuel Alito recused himself in Laura Loomer Supreme Court case

    [ad_1]

    The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up an appeal from Laura Loomer, the far-right personality and ally of President Donald Trump, in a lawsuit she filed against social media companies.

    The justices did not explain why they decided not to hear the case. But a brief order said that Justice Samuel Alito “took no part in the consideration or decision of this petition.”

    The reason for his recusal was not provided, but it is likely because he owns stock in Procter & Gamble (P&G), which is listed as a defendant in the lawsuit, according to advocacy group Fix the Court.

    Newsweek has contacted a court spokesperson for comment via email. Loomer has been contacted for comment via social media.

    Why It Matters

    Federal law requires Supreme Court justices to recuse themselves from cases in which their “impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” The nation’s highest court also adopted an ethics code to guide the justices after fierce criticism over undisclosed gifts, trips and other scandals, although there is no real means of enforcing either.

    Supreme Court justices decide for themselves whether and when to recuse from a case and, in rare examples, a party to a case will ask a justice to recuse.

    What To Know 

    Loomer filed the lawsuit against Meta, X and others, alleging the companies violated civil racketeering laws by removing her from the platforms as she ran for Congress in Florida in 2020 and 2022. 

    She was banned from Facebook in 2019 and from X, then known as Twitter, in 2018, but her account on the latter platform was reinstated after Elon Musk bought the company.

    In a complaint, her attorneys alleged “a conspiracy involving government pressure, corporate collusion and biased content moderation” that “stifled” Loomer’s ability to “communicate with voters, raise funds, and compete in federal elections.”

    It also alleged P&G provided Meta, then known as Facebook, with a list of individuals, including Loomer, to be banned from the platform “unless they publicly disavowed affiliation with the Proud Boys” and threatened to withdraw advertising if they were not.

    Loomer repeatedly lost in lower courts.

    The Proud Boys is an American far-right, neo-fascist militant organization that promotes political and cultural violence.

    The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this year agreed with a federal judge’s decision to dismiss the Loomer case, saying there was no plausible argument the companies had violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

    The federal judge ruled that Loomer’s claims against Meta and X were barred because previous lawsuits had already addressed the same underlying facts and that both companies were protected from liability for their content moderation decisions under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996.

    Meta, X and P&G waived their right to respond to Loomer’s petition.

    What People Are Saying 

    Laura Loomer wrote on X on Monday, in part: “If the Supreme Court isn’t willing to address Big Tech supremacy & election interference NOW, then when? We can’t allow Big Tech to wield more power than the President of the United States & to silence the voices of the American people.”

    She added: “Today is a sad day in US history, but I will keep fighting for free speech & I will keep fighting for accountability from Big Tech for the American People, President Trump & his supporters, because TRUTH AND JUSTICE matter!” 

    What’s Next

    The Supreme Court’s new term began on Monday with the court rejecting more than 800 pending appeals.

    Oral arguments in several cases are set for this week, including a case challenging the legality of Colorado’s ban on LGBTQ+ conversion therapy.

  • Trump Demands Microsoft Fire Head of Global Affairs

    [ad_1]

    Donald Trump has issued his latest challenge to test corporate America’s fealty to his administration. On Friday, the President decided to wade into the personnel decision of Microsoft and called for the company to fire its President of Global Affairs, Lisa Monaco, over her previous work under the Obama and Biden administrations—a warning shot fired apparently at the advice of far-right activist Laura Loomer.

    Trump called Monaco, who previously served as the deputy attorney general during the Biden administration and Homeland Security Advisor to President Obama, “Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged,” He also claimed that because of her ties to the previous administrations, she is “a menace to U.S. National Security, especially given the major contracts that Microsoft has with the United States Government”—a statement that likely doesn’t not read like a threat to review and potentially revoke lucrative federal procurements that Microsft has landed.

    “It is my opinion that Microsoft should immediately terminate the employment of Lisa Monaco,” Trump wrote.  Microsoft declined to comment when contacted by Gizmodo.

    Why the President issuing opinions on an employee who doesn’t even appear on Microsoft’s leadership team page? It appears that it’s because Laura Loomer got in his ear again. Back in July, Loomer took aim at Monaco, tying her to Microsoft’s decision to use engineers in China to help provide tech support to the Defense Department. The connections take some red string and corkboard to make, but Loomer went ahead and connected the dots.

    On Friday, she took credit for the President following suit and calling for Microsoft to dismiss Monaco. “After I alerted President Trump to the fact that Microsoft has hired Lisa Monaco to be their new President of Global Affairs, he has just called on Microsoft to terminate her employment,” she wrote on X. (For what it’s worth, Monaco was hired in May, and Loomer didn’t mention her until July, so apparently it takes a while for her alerts to get to Trump’s desk.)

    In the post, she also tagged Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and asked, “Are you going to comply?” which certainly has some echoes of Federal Communications Commission head Brendan Carr telling ABC, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way” in regards to punishing Jimmy Kimmel over a monologue that conservatives didn’t like. It sure feels like an attempt to compel corporations to capitulate to the wishes of the administration—though, at least in Loomer’s case, she doesn’t have any formal power.

    If anything, Trump may be better off with Monaco stuck in a corporate office somewhere rather than back in legal waters serving as cop on the beat. Under Biden, Monaco was involved in the creation of the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team, which led crackdowns on crypto scams similar to the ones the President and his family have profited from. Prior to that, she served as a member of the Justice Department’s Enron Task Force and was involved in the prosecution of five former Enron executives.

  • Trump demands Microsoft fire global affairs head Lisa Monaco | TechCrunch

    [ad_1]

    President Donald Trump declared Friday that Microsoft needs to fire Lisa Monaco, the company’s president of global affairs.

    Citing her roles as “a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama, and a Lawfare and Weaponization obsessed Deputy Attorney General under Crooked Joe Biden and Lisa’s Puppet ‘Boss’ Attorney General Merrick Garland,” Trump posted on Truth Social that Monaco’s current role gives her access to “Highly Sensitive Information,” which he deemed “unacceptable.”

    “It is my opinion that Microsoft should immediately terminate the employment of Lisa Monaco,” he wrote.

    As Trump noted, Monaco worked with both Barack Obama and Joe Biden, including as a deputy attorney general under the Biden administration. Trump rescinded Monaco’s security clearance earlier this year, in the an order that did the same for Biden, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and the Biden family.

    A Microsoft spokesperson declined to comment. Monaco joined the company in May, taking on a role overseeing the company’s cybersecurity policy and its relationship with world governments.

    Far-right activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer has repeatedly criticized Microsoft for hiring Monaco in posts on X, complaining in one post that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was “born in India” and accusing him of “disgraceful scammer behavior.” On Friday, Loomed triumphantly quoted Trump’s post and again called on the president to “cancel all of Microsoft’s government contracts.”

    This isn’t the first time Trump has targeted a tech executive since returning to office. He previously said that Intel President Lip-Bu Tan must “resign immediately” over alleged conflicts of interest. Then, after Intel gave the government a 10% stake in exchange for funding already committed by the Biden administration, Trump described Tan as a “Highly Respected Chief Executive Officer.”

  • Laura Loomer Really Might Be the New Joe McCarthy

    [ad_1]

    These days, being a social-media influencer with the ear of the president is more powerful than tenure in the U.S. Senate.
    Photo: Mark Peterson/Redux

    Most people in political life have role models from the past that they venerate or imitate. Donald Trump, for example, is a big fan of former presidents Andrew Jackson and William McKinley. Some of his MAGA acolytes love Richard Nixon. Lots of Democrats burn candles, literally or figuratively, to the memories of FDR, JFK, RFK (the senior, not the junior) and such quasi-political titans as Martin Luther King Jr.

    In an interview with the Atlantic’s Michael Scherer, the notorious MAGA influencer (or perhaps more specifically, Trump-whisperer) Laura Loomer identified an unusual hero who may help inspire her career: Joseph R. McCarthy.

     I suggested at one point that her effort to get federal employees fired for supposed disloyalty to Trump recalled the Red Scare of the early 1950s, when Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin exploited the private musings and personal associations of alleged communist sympathizers to end their careers. She loved that.

    “Joseph McCarthy was right,” Loomer responded without missing a beat. “We need to make McCarthy great again.”

    Loomer may have been kidding; her whole act could be described as having a deadly serious core wrapped in candy-coated trolling. But maybe she wasn’t. Despite his censure by a Republican-controlled Senate and his malodorous reputation as a bully and a demagogue, McCarthy has never lost the allegiance of a significant segment of conservatives who either believe his poorly documented charges of massive communist infiltration of U.S. government or simply admire his “populist” willingness to attack bipartisan elites. There are also some tangible connections between his cause and Loomer’s thanks to Trump’s close relationship with McCarthy aide (and later New York superlawyer) Roy Cohn and the 47th president’s zest for conspiracy theories.

    But what’s really fascinating to think about is that Loomer may be as powerful as McCarthy ever was. As Scherer notes, while she’s had her ups and downs in a relatively brief career, she’s having quite a run in 2025:

    In just the first seven months of Trump’s second presidency, she successfully lobbied Trump to end Secret Service protection for Joe Biden’s children. She has pushed the president to fire six members of his National Security Council, remove three leaders at the National Security Agency, end an academic appointment at West Point, fire the director of the National Vetting Center at the Department of Homeland Security, dispatch an assistant U.S. attorney in California, and remove a federal prosecutor in Manhattan. After Trump’s intel chief stripped 37 current and former national-security officials of their security clearance Wednesday, she claimed credit for first labeling 29 of them as threats to Trump.

    Loomer has exercised all this pull and become a global celebrity (with a huge social-media and podcast audience) and an adviser to the president of the United States without trudging up the political ladder like McCarthy did. McCarthy was elected to a local judgeship before serving in World War II, upsetting an incumbent U.S. senator in a GOP primary in 1946, and then winning two general elections. Loomer has twice run unsuccessfully for Congress. McCarthy built his national presence through grueling campaign work for Republicans and years of committee hearings in the Senate. Loomer just needs a well-placed tweet or quote — or a private conversation with her White House friends — to change the course of events and demonstrate her power.

    The big question at the moment is whether Loomer could experience a fall from grace and power as precipitous and complete as McCarthy, who faded into political irrelevance after his censure (and then reportedly drank himself to death). By most accounts, McCarthy’s trajectory decisively changed when he began training his fire on Republicans rather than Democrats, for the obvious reason that the Eisenhower administration replaced the Truman administration when Ike took office with Joe’s active assistance. The term “deep state” didn’t exist back then, but McCarthy played on perceptions that there was a permanent bipartisan foreign-policy Establishment riddled with communists who didn’t just go away with a change of party management. As an article in the National Archives concludes, Ike was the secret assassin of McCarthy’s career:

    Former President Harry S. Truman openly denounced McCarthy for three years, but his rhetorical attacks only enhanced the senator’s prestige; Ike ruined him in less than half that time.

    [O]n August 31, 1953, McCarthy launched hearings into communist infiltration into the United States Army—Ike’s Army. While Eisenhower did not respond in public, it was only a matter of time. Joe McCarthy had signed his own political death warrant by assaulting the service to which the general had devoted his adult life.

    Much more obviously than McCarthy, Loomer owes absolutely everything to her president, and there’s not much question she has to remain in his good graces to survive, much less thrive. Yet she has flirted with great danger in recent months by going after some fellow Trump acolytes, as Scherer notes:

    She has no problem going after Republican targets. She has publicly accused Senator Lindsey Graham of being gay, which he denies, and called the podcaster Tucker Carlson a “fraud” and a “terrible person.” Loomer let loose on [Marjorie Taylor] Greene, claiming without evidence that she committed obscene acts in CrossFit gyms. (She did link to a Daily Mail article that had suggested, based on anonymous sources, that the congresswoman had extramarital affairs with people she knew through her gym.)

    But even though she almost certainly has enemies in Trump’s inner circle who resent her influence, she keeps registering wins. Just last week, she trained her fire on an aide to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., suggesting the aide was quietly preparing a 2028 presidential run for her boss. Loomer didn’t immediately bag her trophy but did accomplish something arguably more important: a statement from Kennedy ruling out a future presidential bid.

    The incident suggests that Loomer has plans for influencing the MAGA movement and the GOP even after Trump goes back to Mar-a-Lago for good, which is precisely what she accuses some of her targets of doing:

    She speaks of the White House overall as a self-dealing den of duplicity, where staff regularly conspire against the president she adores.

    “Everyone is positioning themselves for a post-Trump GOP,” she told me, adding that Trump is often surprised by what she tells him about his own administration. “Every time I have these briefings, he looks at his staff and says, ‘How come you didn’t tell me this?’”

    Maybe Trump truly believes Loomer has no motives beyond intense personal loyalty to him and his legacy. But Trump is justly famous for discarding anyone who begins imagining themselves indispensable. Joe McCarthy arguably elevated his anti-communist principles above loyalty to party and president and got fatally burned. Loomer would be wise to reject his example in that crucial respect.

  • ‘This is appalling’: Marjorie Taylor Green throws stones at Laura Loomer from glass racist house

    ‘This is appalling’: Marjorie Taylor Green throws stones at Laura Loomer from glass racist house

    [ad_1]

    There are a lot of questions I have about Laura Loomer—yes, the girl who got so mad she was banned from Twitter that she handcuffed herself to the door. Now that she’s back, she’s up to her racist antics. But with a twist.

    Loomer, who has been supported by Marjorie Taylor Greene in the past, suddenly found herself with an enemy in the representative. MTG went to X to call out Loomer for a racist tweet about Vice President Kamala Harris. Yes, you read that correctly. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE called someone else—a fellow conservative—racist. Trust me, I am just as shocked as you are.

    The tweet in question from Loomer was ruled a violation of X’s guidelines, but you can still read it on her page. Loomer wrote, “If Kamala Harris wins, the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center and the American people will only be able to convey their feedback through a customer satisfaction survey at the end of the call that nobody will understand.”

    Yes, that is extremely racist and vile. It is also not surprising that some MAGA head would say that. So it was shocking to see MTG claim that it doesn’t represent who MAGA is. (It really does). “This is appalling and extremely racist. It does not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA,” Greene wrote. She went on to tell Loomer she should take it down.

    The replies to Greene’s tweet are a mixed bag. People are shocked that someone like MTG would actually call out a friend for being racist and others were trying to explain at her what Loomer was trying to do. Loomer was simply trying to be racist, so nice try.

    Loomer and Greene were friends

    I don’t know when the rift between the two began, but Greene made it clear that she does understand Loomer’s takes because they’ve known each other since 2018. She followed up her tweet with an explanation of their relationship.

    “Little bit of a history lesson for a few of you. Laura and I used to be friends going back to 2018. I used to defend her and support her like in this post here. I endorsed her first run for congress, donated to her, and fundraised for her and then she lost,” Greene wrote. “Then when she ran again against Daniel Webster, I told her to run in another district, so she could win, but she refused. When I didn’t endorse her, she turned on me and began attacking me and lying about me.”

    Greene was clearly happy to call out Loomer because of the lies that Loomer stated about her. She claims that Loomer lied about her ,but that her main concern was how this tweet made the former president Donald Trump look. “But when it comes to post that are flat out racist, hateful, and make President Trump look bad, she needs to be responsible and delete them.”

    Girl, this does represent Trump. Be real for a second.

    I think it is funny that these MAGA fans are now hard pivoting into “Trump isn’t racist” territory. What happened to you guys being proud he was being racist? What do you have to say about his current racist attacks on Haitian immigrants? Oh no that’s fine? Got it.

    MAGA wants you to believe that the left is pushing some narrative about racism. It isn’t a narrative. We’re commenting on what Donald Trump is saying. That’s all! He is being racist, sexist, homophobic, and disgusting. We’re not putting words in his mouth. He does that to other people.

    This entire situation is made even funnier by the fact that literally the NEXT DAY, Greene was being racist on her own account.

    So while Greene probably thought she got some brownie points for telling Loomer to stop making Trump look racist, all she did was make herself into more of a joke. Trump is racist. So is Loomer. And so is Marjorie Taylor Greene.

  • Piers Morgan Melts Down – Attacks Trump Supporter Laura Loomer And Bans Her From TV

    Piers Morgan Melts Down – Attacks Trump Supporter Laura Loomer And Bans Her From TV

    [ad_1]

    Opinion

    Source YouTube: Piers Morgan Uncensored, Laura Loomer

    Piers Morgan has banned the pro-Donald Trump media personality Laura Loomer from his show, branding her a “total loony” as he did so.

    Loomer Sounds Off

    Loomer took to social media on Tuesday to sound off after she was bumped from Morgan’s show the day before.

    “I JUST GOT CENSORED BY @piersmorgan for his show called ‘UNCENSORED’! Wow. This is absurd,” she wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “Yesterday @piersmorgan’s producer contacted me and asked me to come on his show today at 3 pm EST to talk about the Iowa Caucus results.”

    “This morning we made arrangements for them to send a TV crew to record me live in Iowa,” she continued. “5 minutes ago, his producer called me and said they had to cancel me today because they wanted to interview Anthony Weiner instead. That was a lie, because they bumped me for @RonDeSantis surrogate Bill Mitchell … to talk about the Iowa Caucus, and I’m sure they will trash me on the interview. Here’s the screenshots to prove it!”

    “This is so unprofessional @kieronmirch, and it is proof that @piersmorgan is too scared to have me on his show, so he invited a deranged DeSantis supporter on instead,” Loomer added. “Maybe Piers will grow a pair of balls and have me on to speak truth about Iowa and President Trump. But, he clearly is scared of getting LOOMERED on LIVE TV. RECEIPTS!”

    Morgan Bans Loomer

    Less than an hour later, Morgan fired back at Loomer by having a full meltdown as he banned her from his show.

    “Hi Ms Loomer, I pulled your hit because I think you’re a complete loony,” he wrote. “And now you’ve broken my golden rule.. publicly attack my brilliant team & print screenshots to embarrass them, and you get a lifetime ban from the show. Bye!”

    Loomer, however, refused to back down.

    “If you think I am a “complete loony”, then why did you have your staff ask me to stay in Iowa to do a LIVE hit on your show at 3 pm EST today?” she wrote. “@piersmorgan Stop being so disingenuous. You just don’t want me on your show because you’re a Trump hater, and you know I come prepared with the facts and receipts to call you out on your s***.”

    “I don’t give a f*** about you or your staff,” she later added. “I care about Donald Trump and I care about defending his impeccable record. You’re a fraud. Donald Trump made you the Winner of his show ‘The Apprentice’ on Season 7, and you used to love him!!!”

    Morgan Reacts To Trump’s Iowa Caucus Win

    Morgan reacted to Trump’s victory in the Iowa Caucus on Monday by admitting that his win “was so overwhelming it makes him odds-on favorite to be the Republican nominee.”

    “What happened in Iowa cannot be overstated,” Morgan wrote for The Sun. “Trump won 51% of the vote, the biggest win in Iowa caucus history.”

    Morgan went on to say that “the more the times he’s been dragged into court, the more popular he’s become with even Trump-critical Republicans who believe it’s an unfair liberal witch-hunt designed to stop him becoming President again.”

    “Trump has painted himself into an oppressed martyr, and his followers have bought into his victimhood status with extraordinary enthusiasm,” Morgan acknowledged. “In Iowa, 71% of his supporters told pollsters they believe him fit to be president again even if he’s convicted of a crime.”

    Donald Trump Shares Link Revealing Letitia James’ Address While Raging Against Her

    [ad_1]

    Former President Donald Trump on Thursday shared a link listing the home address of New York Attorney General Letitia James while accusing her of committing a “miscarriage of justice.”

    Trump’s smearing of James, the prosecutor behind his ongoing financial fraud trial, is nothing new. But his Truth Social link to a Substack post by far-right journalist Laura Loomer reportedly might raise a few issues.

    In an attempted gotcha piece on James’ purchase of a home in Brooklyn, New York, Loomer posted documents that list the property’s address, information that would normally be redacted to protect the subject. In June, James said she had received death threats as she pursued the case against Trump, currently the Republican presidential front-runner for 2024.

    The Daily Beast suggested that by sharing Loomer’s piece, the quadruply indicted former president might be violating a gag order in the New York case ― not to be confused with the gag order he got slapped with for his federal election-conspiracy trial.

    Judge Arthur Engoron specified that Trump was not to attack court staff after he mocked a photo of a law clerk with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). “While James is not a staffer, she is central to the indictment,” The Daily Beast notes.

    The anti-Trump outlet Meidas Touch called attention to the apparent doxxing on Wednesday. The site called on Engoron “to expand his gag order to protect NY AG Letitia James.”

    Doxxing, or the release of someone’s personal information with malicious intent, is generally not considered illegal if the information is publicly available, according to U.S. News & World Report. In this case, the information about James’ address could already be accessed by the public, independently of Loomer’s post.

    But people who engage in doxxing can potentially face accusations of stalking and intimidation, depending on the forum. For instance, X, formerly Twitter, says on its policy page: “We may take action against home addresses being shared, even if they are publicly available, due to the potential for physical harm.”

    James’ office did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.

    Trump returned to the non-jury civil trial Wednesday and made a whopper of a claim related to charges that he overvalued properties: He called his Florida Mar-a-Lago estate “the most expensive house probably in the world.”

    He also further insulted James, claiming that she was “ranting and raving like a lunatic” and that she “defrauded the public with this trial.”
