A federal court has issued a significant injunction against the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), deeming it likely unconstitutional. The decision, handed down by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Texas Top Cop Shop, Inc. v. Garland (No. 4:24-CV-478), temporarily halts the application of the CTA and its accompanying beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirements. This ruling has broad implications, as it suspends enforcement on a nationwide scale pending further court orders.

Trump’s approach, which linked economic frustrations with social concerns, proved effective in states he lost in 2020, such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia. The former president also saw gains among various demographic groups, further weakening Harris’s efforts to maintain Biden’s 2020 coalition.

The findings by The People's Olive Branch investigative team were brought to the attention of Mr. Jan Bergemann, President, of Cyber Citizens For Justice, Inc. (CCFJ), who told our investigative reporter in a phone call on February 20th 3:02 p.m. that, “he doesn’t want to get involved in that case and that he doesn’t care what happens there...” He followed it by stating that our team at The People's Olive Branch "is small...that we better watch what we publish." Mr. Jan Burgemann hung up on our investigative reporter shortly thereafter. In an email communication, Mr. Bergemann doubled down by saying “Please don’t bother me with your nonsense!” and denied the statements he had made over the initial phone communication.

Jeff Miller — a top fundraiser, adviser, and a longtime pal of McCarthy — said he will begin fundraising for Johnson’s (R-La.) camp. As the new speaker takes the helm of the House GOP, he also assumes responsibility for the party’s House fundraising operation, the resources behind maintaining the slim GOP majority in a heavily fought presidential election season. And Johnson, far from a prolific fundraiser who has only raised about $600,000 between his campaign and leadership PAC since the start of 2023, will need help raising money.

The nomination follows an internal secret ballot vote held behind closed doors, which took place today, marking a significant step in the process to select a new Speaker, as the lower chamber remains without a leader for the 10th consecutive day. Rep. Jim Jordan, currently serving as the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, secured the nomination, defeating the unexpected entry of Rep. Austin Scott (R-Ga.), who emerged as an alternative candidate to Jordan in the speaker's race.
