🚨2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS EXPANDED?: Courts are looking at how extensive the definition of arms can be applied in regard to the 2nd Amendment ZACK SMITH (@tzsmith): "The 5th circuit found that switchblades, knives, can constitute an arm under the plain text of the 2nd Amendment!"

NEW: Los Angeles County elections officials confirm in court filing that they have no way to verify U.S. citizenship for voters and they rely solely on a voter’s attestation when they check yes or no to being a U.S. citizen under penalty of perjury. This is part of ongoing lawsuit w/ Feds.
Massive concession: Los Angeles election officials just told a federal court they have no independent way to verify citizenship beyond what voters attest. (They simply take their word for it.) Under federal law, only citizens may vote in federal elections. Yet California has not acted on the list of 20,000 suspected noncitizens or agreed to set aside their ballots. American citizens’ votes are being diluted in California.

There's still time to delete your tweet, Grant.
Contrary to the fake news “merchants of chaos” media there were only very minor damages delivered by the storm that hit the panhandle last night. CardoneCapital manages over 1000 units in that market.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

The Waffle House Index as of 10:00AM (ET). Steadily reopening for the Gulf Coast communities as fast and as safely as possible. A huge thank-you to all the utility crews and first responders working hard to restore power and support those in need! 💛

By far the most extensive damage I have come across from Hurricane #Isaias is in Milton, Florida. An entire roof of an apartment complex with residents inside was torn off and thrown with multiple other nearby buildings missing roofs and severe damage while the High School Gymnasium roof was also damaged extensively and downed trees liter the city. Crazy to think the last time I was in this town, it was snowing! #FLwx

🧇 What can Waffle House tell us about the storm damage? Former FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate explains how the Waffle House Index helps gauge the impact of a major storm. “Generally, history tells us if anything opens, it's going to be a Waffle House.” @KayleighMcEnany

Justice.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recommended — and President Donald J. Trump has approved — death by U.S. Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan, the jihadist who opened fire on unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009. He killed 13 people and wounded 32 others while shouting “Allahu Akbar” during the attack. The Secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution. Judgement day for Hasan has finally come.

🚨ZACK SMITH (@tzsmith): "Not only did Jack Smith engage in these very aggressive, politicized prosecutions, but he wasn't even constitutionally appointed! I think there's a very good argument that his own appointment itself VIOLATED the separation of powers!"
