šŸ”µ DOJ’s J6 Purge

Good morning. It’s Saturday, June 28.

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday terminated at least three prosecutors involved in Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot cases, according to multiple reports.

The Trump administration has pardoned all Jan. 6 protesters and has taken actions against those who prosecuted them for a variety of allegations connected to the unrest.

Among those dismissed were two attorneys who supervised the Jan. 6 prosecutions in Washington and a line attorney who prosecuted cases originating from the Capitol riot.

 
 

President Donald Trump on Friday said that the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda embark on ā€œa new chapter of hope and opportunityā€ after the nations signed a historic peace deal brokered by the president and his deputies.

Trump was joined by the foreign ministers of the two countries and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the Oval Office, shortly after Rubio oversaw them signing an agreement to end the decades-long fighting in the region. Vice President JD Vance also flanked the president.

ā€œWe’re here today to celebrate a glorious triumph, and that’s what it is for the cause of peace, and this is a long time waiting: The signing of a historic peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Rwanda,ā€ Trump said.

Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani wants to hike property taxes for ā€œricher and whiter neighborhoodsā€ in an eyebrow-raising proposal that aims to ease the burden on homeowners in the outer boroughs.

The soak-the-rich proposal is buried in Mamdani’s campaign platform that calls to fix the city’s notoriously skewed property tax system, in which ritzy brownstones are hit at lower rates than homes and rentals in lower-income neighborhoods.

ā€œShift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods,ā€ the proposal reads.

The Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is ending temporary protection status (TPS) for roughly 520,000 Haitians currently residing in the US.

The TPS designations for the country will expire on Aug. 3, 2025, and the termination will be effective on Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2025.

ā€œThis decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protective Status is actually temporary,ā€ said a DHS spokesperson.

The Senate blocked an effort Friday to prevent President Trump from taking future military action against Iran without authorization from Congress, less than a week after he directed strikes aimed at the country’s nuclear capabilities.

Senators voted 47-53 largely along party lines against the war powers resolution.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was the lone GOP lawmaker to vote with Democrats. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), an ardent backer of Israel, voted with Republicans.

Eric Trump said in an interview with the Financial Times that the ā€œpolitical pathā€ to the White House for successive members of the Trump family ā€œwould be an easy one.ā€

ā€œThe real question is: ā€˜Do you want to drag other members of your family into it?ā€™ā€ the US president’s son said.

ā€œWould I want my kids to live the same experience over the last decade that I’ve lived?

On Wednesday morning at 6 a.m., a large-scale police operation was launched across Germany, targeting hundreds of individuals suspected of insulting politicians or spreading ā€œhate and incitementā€ online.

The massive crackdown saw police launch morning raids against 170 individuals, which saw police seize computers, cell phones, and tablets, and conduct searches in multiple locations across the country.

The action, which was conducted by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), uses the new Criminal Code Paragraph 188 to target individuals accused of racism and hate speech.
