It's a growing grass roots phenomenon meant to hold government to account. It does that up close and personal, and often times on the ground in handcuffs.
The “First Amendment Audit” phenomenon doesn’t appear to be led by any particular organization, but rather, seems to be made up of individuals who are interested in making videos of their encounters with law enforcement officers or other public officials. If the encounter results in an actual or perceived violation of the auditor’s First Amendment or other protected rights, then the video likely will be posted on social media and/or serve as the basis for a claim or suit. A violation may come about if the auditor is denied the right to take photos or videos in a public place, or is detained for “suspicious” activity or other reasons.

But she warned him to tread carefully before making inflammatory public statements about the case. And she let him know that if he did it - it would likely force her to speed up the trial date. I bet Trump really wants to share sensitive material but he really doesn't want the trial to start any sooner. I think eventually his big mouth will get the best of him and he will share sensitive material and Judge will set the trial date a lot sooner. Cheers! less

Twitter refused to comply with the order at first and they were fined $350.000 per day and that fine doubled each day they didn't comply. It is also said that even though it was a sealed warrant Musk wanted to warn Trump about the warrant. That would of gave Trump a chance to get rid of any evidence. Jack Smith eventually got to search Trump's account and I bet he found a ton of incriminating evidence in Trump's PMs. The warrant was un sealed the other day so I think we are about to find out a lot of things about Trump and his goonies. Cheers! less

Singhal (a Trump appointed Judge) dismissed his lawsuit with prejudice, meaning Trump cannot file another lawsuit under the same reasoning. Cheers and happy weekend!

Trump is charged in the new indictment along with Carlos de Oliveira, the property manager of the resort and a new defendant in the case, and his valet Walt Nauta, who had faced previous charges. Cheers!
