WATCH. Rocking Out “in the Free World,” with Millionaires, a Possible Billionaire and “Election Day” Activism

By night’s end at “Power to the People,” organizer Tom Morello introduces Bruce Springsteen as a “fellow freedom fighter.” Springsteen describes the “whistles and phones” of ICE Watch patrols targeting Trump administration official Stephen Miller and former Attorney General Kristi Noem over immigration enforcement before singing—and shouting—“ICE Out.”

Springsteen then reaches back to his classic anti-privilege song, “I Ain’t No Senator’s Son,” before joining Dave Matthews in a celebration of “rocking out in the free world.”

“Grandson” lashes out at “the billionaires” while performing alongside millionaires and an estimated billionaire in Springsteen.

Morello invokes Woody Guthrie, saying Guthrie knew that “every inch” of America was “stole from the Indigenous people,” before leading non-Native artists in “This Land Is Your Land.”

And while the festival features 22 nonprofits that aren’t supposed to engage in partisan politics or election activity, Morello makes the political objective explicit: The goal, he says, is to have an impact on “Election Day and beyond that.”

The night ends with Morello chanting, “Fists in the air, fists in the air,” Springsteen and the rest of the celebrity millionaire class beside him in a political rally dressed as a rock concert, with the fervor of a Red Party revival.

New documents first obtained by the Daily Caller suggest former special counsel Jack Smith may have misled lawmakers and the public regarding the pretext for his investigation into President Donald Trump’s retention of classified documents.

The documents reveal the National Archives’ internal watchdog did not consider its February 2022 message to the Justice Department (DOJ) about Trump’s possession of classified documents a criminal referral, contradicting Smith’s account of how the case began. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Office of Inspector General (OIG) case report from February 2022, obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, notes that its message to the Justice Department was a referral, but not a criminal referral.......

Compelling evidence of intentionality

“The appointments clause of the Constitution requires for principal officers, which we argue that Jack Smith was, that they have to be appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Neither one of those things happen, even if he was an inferior officer, John, Congress still, under the appointments clause, has to create the position for him to fill. And Congress never created the special counsel position. This is something Merrick Garland came up with on his own. So this whole investigation, this whole Arctic Frost investigation, to the extent that Jack Smith was involved, was polluted by this unlawful, unconstitutional appointment,” Chenoweth said.
