⚠️Ten years ago we saw videos of China’s wall‑to‑wall cameras and said, “Glad that’s not us.” Well... are we there yet? HT: @jamesmadisonaudits

🚨BREAKING: FBI stops terror plot targeting UFC Freedom 250 on the White House South Lawn during President Trump’s 80th birthday weekend. Five suspects arrested: Tycen Proper (19, OH), Daniel Eskridge (MO), Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez (NE), Bryan Omar Roa & Michael Alan Thomas (CA). The plot was foiled because Proper's own parents turned him in. The alleged plan? Explosive drones over the crowd to create panic, followed by snipers targeting high-value individuals and a ground assault on the gates — all to "jumpstart a revolution" and tear America down. Affidavit reveals the group's grievances ranged from government corruption, data centers taking up all the water, and the administration that released the Epstein files for being "involved with Epstein." Thank God the FBI shut these idiots down. That said, I hope we don't learn that FBI informants were driving the plot, like in the Whitmer kidnapping case.

I recently found out that I share the same first and last name with a 19 year old student at Cornell who is going viral (over ten million views across twitter and other platforms) for anti-Semitic comments that he made (and continues to make) to a prospective-employer. My social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) and law firm email address are being blown up by people understandably angry at this other Austin Franco. None of the posts cross any legal lines, but unfortunately there have been comments and emails talking about me, my firm, my parents, etc. To make matters worse, the undergraduate looks just enough like me to be confusing, and the NY Post, Fox News, and other publications, have written about it with his image as the article cover. The bad Austin Franco is continuing to make these statements to media and on social media, so we wanted to go on the record disassociating me and the law firm from him. I am hoping this post will alleviate some confusion for the general public. I appreciate all the people who have reached out!

ALERT: Florida man who watched his girlfriend get mauled to death by neighbors' pit bulls is arrested for killing his own 3 dogs in his trailer. Donnell Smith watched as his long-time girlfriend, Jodi Cowan, was mauled and ripped apart by Linda Cutler’s pit bulls last month. Cowan was taken to the hospital but passed away from the attack, and Cutler was arrested for manslaughter. Cutler, who faked a heart attack when being arrested, will have her 2 pit bulls euthanized. Smith was arrested by the Brevard County Sheriff's Department after reports of a foul stench coming from his trailer led deputies to find his 3 dogs deceased. Smith had left the dogs, which he shared with Cowen, in the trailer for days without food, water, or ventilation. Brevard Sheriff Wayne Ivey said in a press conference, “Look at all the lives that have been lost, all the lives that have been impacted by this. It simply comes down to people not taking care of the pets they’re responsible for.”

Watching jews and zionists having MELTDOWNS on X after hearing Trump say Israel would not be able to exist with the US is music to my ears! 😂🫵🏽

If Tom Cotton’s “Israel Merger” bill had already passed, Israel would have had access to behind-the-scenes info about the Iran negotiations, which they would have leaked, sabotaging peace. These bills are a National Security threat of the highest order.
