When federal agents seized my phones at Dulles Airport, they flagrantly violated several 4th circuit rulings which explicitly forbid advanced forensic searches of devices without a warrant or individualized suspicion.
Was the order to seize my devices delivered under pressure from unregistered Israel and Ukraine lobbyist Laura Loomer, who boasted about calling Trump cabinet officials to demand I be jailed for my reporting from Iran, and effectively took credit for the confiscation of my devices?
We're filing this lawsuit to answer that question, and to prevent the unconstitutional weaponization of federal law enforcement against journalists whose reporting complicates their malign, Israeli-directed agenda.

Flávio Bolsonaro issues his first official statement since arriving in the United States, confirming what I reported yesterday about his departure from Brazil and the protection he says he has received.
Here are the key points:
1. Flávio declares himself the legitimate president-elect of Brazil and denounces massive electoral fraud in favor of Lula.
2. He questions how Lula gained more than 10 million additional votes between the first and second rounds and accuses Brazil’s Supreme Court of interfering with the electoral process.
3. He confirms that he left Brazil with his family and is now safe in the United States.
4. He personally thanks Argentine President Javier Milei for his courage, sense of justice, and respect for the rule of law.
He also thanks President Donald Trump and the American people for welcoming his family, describing America as a land of freedom and shared values.
5. He thanks President Trump and the U.S. government for providing the legal security he says no longer exists in Brazil.
6. He states that there is no arrest warrant against him but denounces an attempt to confiscate his passports and a politically motivated campaign to imprison and silence him.
7. He makes it clear: “I did not flee Brazil.” He says he left to preserve his freedom and continue leading the Brazilian people.
8. He announces that he will lead the Brazilian opposition from the United States, speaking freely against Lula and the Brazilian judicial establishment, as I shared before.
9. He compares his political exile to those of Charles de Gaulle, José Martí, and Venezuelan opposition leaders who continued fighting for their countries from abroad.
10. He calls on Brazilian senators, governors, and members of Congress to stand up against political persecution and restore the balance of power.
11. He calls on the international community not to normalize what he describes as the destruction of democracy and the rule of law in Brazil.
His statement confirms the central facts I reported yesterday: Flávio Bolsonaro left Brazil, arrived safely in the United States with his family, and says he has received protection from President Trump’s administration.
His statement does not formally confirm that political asylum has already been granted, but it makes his intentions absolutely clear.
He says he is not abandoning Brazil. He is preparing to lead the opposition from American soil.
This is just the beginning.
God bless Brazil. God bless the United States of America!

RT @academic_la: Everyone is misreading Netanyahu's speech. It's not that he is calling for a narrow right-wing government by not calling for unity with Eisenkot. He is calling for Bennet and Lieberman to cross over by calling for a "Jewish right-wing government." He will try to manipulate his way to that, using war with Iran as the lever.

Don’t be mislead by @jonfiner and @PhilGordonDC. They’re both seasoned sanctions practitioners. They know full well that the economic and financial warfare they’re advocating against Israel won’t stop at the Green Line. It will hit banks, businesses and all Israelis inside Israel itself.
Their mission is clear: coerce Israelis into accepting a Palestinian state—even if it is highly likely it will be controlled by Hamas, riddled with corruption, and posing a mortal threat to Israel’s security. They have learned nothing from October 7 and the failed territorial withdrawals of the past.

Most Michiganders concerned about the issue want to end aid to Israel
The ad is also true: Israel and its American Fifth Column got the US into an economically disastrous war on Iran that caused energy prices to spike and thereby raised the cost of living for American consumers

In my interviews with Israelis, a portrait has emerged: a people defiant but weary, resistant to Palestinian pain but traumatized from war, fed up with the world but fearful of global isolation, and in a tug-of-war with themselves.
