THE BUZZ!
New York City Braces for Trump’s Arrival
First up.
Trump’s history making indictment.
The indictment comes after investigation led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of a hush money payout to adult-film star Stormy Daniels.
As the country awaits to see this unfold, law enforcement is gearing up to expect the unexpected.
No major threats related to Trump’s arraignment have been reported, but the New York Police Department is warning officers to be on call.
The Secret Service is planning the best routes to get Trump into and out of the courthouse with no problems.
Traffic closures, barricades, and law enforcement patrols are expected to largely shut the area down as the arraignment looms, and the whole building will be cleared and inspected for security before Trump arrives. All other trials have been adjourned for the day.
This court appearance will also let him know what the official charges are. As of right now that remains unclear.
However, two people familiar with Trump’s indictment told The New York Times that it includes more than two dozen counts.
And you want to see viral, wait until that mugshot gets released.
Just wait for it.

Twitter hasn’t removed verified check marks — except from The New York Times
Next.
Free Checks. What were you thinking?
To pay or not to pay for social media platforms blue check.
Instagram recently announced they will charge $15 a month to get blue check verified. A move that has already generated a lot of money for them.
Twitter had the same model for their platform with an $8 subscription fee. Organizations including businesses, nonprofit groups or government institutions would need to pay $1,000 a month to keep their check marks.
There was only one account missing their blue check. News source The New York Times.
A move that came after a user tweeted that the New York Times won’t pay.
Musk responded to the tweet saying, “Oh ok, we’ll take it off then.”
And he did. Adding that the “The real tragedy of @NYTimes is that their propaganda isn’t even interesting.”
Also, their feed is the Twitter equivalent of diarrhea. It’s unreadable. They would have far more real followers if they only posted their top articles.
Musk even responded to one user who asked “What are your favorite news sources at the moment?”
He replied this.
