Pentagon Activates Troops for 2024 Presidential Campaign Events
(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Pentagon announced Thursday that the U.S. Northern Command will assist the Secret Service for the presidential and vice-presidential campaigns through Inauguration Day 2025.
“As part of this effort, the Department of Defense is providing the U.S. Secret Service with additional assistance including logistics, transportation and communications, through the 2024 campaign season,” Secret Service spokesman Guglielmi said in a Defense Department press release.
The Pentagon assistance comes as the Secret Service faces a reported 650-agent deficit for the United Nations General Assembly, which is scheduled to begin Sept. 10th in New York City. According to journalist Susan Crabtree, there are concerns in the Secret Service that the Pentagon’s soldiers don’t have proper training, and that their presence will create the perception that the U.S. has turned into a militarized police state.

Top Brazil court upholds ban of Musk’s X
Brazil’s Supreme Court has upheld a ban on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
A majority of three out of five justices have already voted in favour of the measure, meaning the ban will stay in place even if the two remaining justices were to vote against it.
X has been suspended in Brazil since the early hours of Saturday after it failed to appoint a new legal representative in the country before a court-imposed deadline.
It is the culmination of a feud between Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes and X’s owner Elon Musk which began in April, when the judge ordered the suspension of dozens of accounts for allegedly spreading disinformation.

U.S. ‘seizes Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro’s jet’ in the Dominican Republic
The U.S. has seized and brought Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s airplane to Florida.
Multiple federal agencies involved in the seizure determined that acquisition of Maduro’s aircraft was in violation of U.S. sanctions, two U.S. officials disclosed to CNN.
The plane, described by officials as Venezuela’s Air Force One, was seized in the Dominican Republic and brought to the U.S. on Monday and marks the latest escalation with Maduro’s regime.
