Newtown Labor Day Parade — On-camera with Murphy. Lamont walks up “Hello, Reese.” Tong bolts. Stephanie Thomas. Scanlon says hi.

Sophia DiFilippo / Charlie Kirk Vigil — Greenwich Club America / TPUSA HS student + mom Jennifer. Candlelight vigil, adult online hate, stand firm.

Mean Comment Callout — Hamden-area “when’s the crybaby rally” jab. Reese flips it hard.

DHS Mullin letter / ERIC–CEIR — Sept 2 referral: QR/barcode ballots + DMV files to ERIC/CEIR. CT still ERIC. Hartford ~$2.1M CEIR.

Tong lawsuit tour — Quiet on DOJ suits: federal-agent mask/nameplate law; in-state tuition for illegals; TANF data-share fight.

Voter rolls / Protect the Vote — FOIA extracts, dead/moved still listed, ballot math. Tong/Thomas/Lamont know the mess. filetoprotectthevote.com.

HSI in town — Reese: who’s calling “Big Steph” isn’t Mildred. It’s activists who know the books are cooked.

ICE math — FY24 ~89% Western Hemisphere. Jail-to-ICE ~45% where they cooperate; field hunts in sanctuary. Street pickups because detainers get refused.
