Updates:
Mar-a-Lago Gunman Was Reportedly ‘Fixated’ on Epstein Files And Believed There Was a Trump Government ‘Cover-Up’
TMZ reported on Sunday that the man who was shot and killed by Secret Service agents after he breached the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun was “fixated” on the files tied to Jeffrey Epstein and believed there was a “government cover-up” protecting his accomplices.
The report is based on text messages from February 15 and from “sources who worked” with the man — identified as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin — at a North Carolina golf course. TMZ also reported that Martin “regularly expressed support” for President Donald Trump; he apparently wasn’t as much of a MAGA fan anymore, considering he was prepared to attack the president’s estate.

From the MarKODA Files-60 Minutes’ Anderson Cooper Debunks Trump’s Claim of ‘Genocide’ of White Farmers in South Africa
Anderson Cooper traveled to South Africa to get to the bottom of President Donald Trump’s claim of a “genocide” of white, predominantly Afrikaner farmers in the latest episode of 60 Minutes on Sunday evening.
Last year, Trump signed an executive order expediting the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees to the United States.
Cooper said he visited the farm of a man named Darrel Brown “because of what President Trump said last May about the murders of South African farmers.”

Trump appointee Aileen Cannon blocks release of Jack Smith’s report on classified documents probe
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon blocked the public release of former special counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigation into whether Trump mishandled classified documents after his first term in the White House.
In an order filed today in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Cannon wrote that the report should not be released outside of the Department of Justice “due to the unlawful appointment of Special Counsel Smith and Attorney General Bondi’s deliberative-process determination.”
Cannon, a Trump appointee, wrote that Smith and his team prepared the report for months after she dismissed the classified documents case in July 2024, ruling that his appointment as special counsel was unconstitutional.
Yes, he's rambling incoherently, but let's not overlook the fact that he looks and sounds like absolute dogshit.

Reality Check:
Trump wants us to believe he’s strong when in reality he’s a historically weak president with an administration run by depraved incompetent sycophants taking wannabe authoritarian actions that are constantly backfiring with rejection in the courts, public opinion, and elections.
