  • Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF)

    Love Mrs. Phang! Her morals, values, ethics, are unmatched. Her conviction is undeniable. The world would be a much better place if we had more people like her.

    Question, how can it be properly verified that the documentation received in this lawsuit is actually the originals and weren’t completely fabricated or edited? That’s a constant concern I have regarding full transparency. And complete accuracy. Regarding documents received during camera review on 24 September?

Trump Scrambles as Massive Protest Censorship Sparks Major Backlash
Q: Let the viewers know more details about how wildly successful No Kings Day on October 17th ended up being, in spite of efforts by Meta and other powers that be, to suppress letting people see and learn and experience what it was like to be joyful in our dissent, to be productive, to have mass mobilization, and to get early voting turnout like that.
Levin describes efforts to increase early voting, train tens of thousands of people to prepare for election sabotage, and organize communities to protect democratic institutions.

Q: Get people up to speed quickly on what happened at 1:30 p.m. Eastern on October 17th.

Q: Can you share the methodology on how you figured out the 16,000 in our state?
