NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

My Latest FOIA: Trump's Truth Social DMs

Recently, Trump posted a message to Pam Bondi that was meant to be a direct message. I want to know what other official messages he's sending to cabinet members.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

For the past two weeks, a three-judge federal panel has been hearing a high-stakes trial that will decide whether the Texas GOP can keep their new gerrymander. While most national outlets missed it, we were on the ground.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who correctly remembers that contrary to trump's post, Joe Biden was NOT the President on January 6, 2021 -- trump was.

His delusional episodes are increasing, it's time for the 25th Amendment.

HE IS UNFIT TO SERVE.

I keep seeing this get posted. The AZ electors were charged a year and a half ago. The AZ Superior Court ENDED the case five months ago. The AZ AG will have to appeal to the AZ Supreme Court or go back and start again with a grand jury. Please stop sharing this.

The government has submitted a wailing motion on discovery in the Jim Comey case--partly wailing that bc he won't agree to a protective order--they don't have agreement.

But they basically ignore Judge Nachmanoff's order that ALL discovery is due Monday.

“We’ve known for months that he’s been sick, but the words radiation and treatment hit differently. They landed in a place I didn’t expect. Because it feels like more than just one man enduring.
It feels like a reflection of all of us.”

OUR tax dollars are being used to bail out Argentina, OUR troops are being put on the ground in Israel & OUR soil is being used by Qatar for a military base of their own.
While OUR government is shutdown.
Anyone who believes OUR so-called “president” when he says he is “America first”, is an idiot.

RFK fired the CDC official (w/decades of experience) leading the measles outbreak response. It's been decades since we've had such a large outbreak. And just to ensure they they can spread the measles outbreak even farther, they also fired the leadership for the center focused on immunization.

Figure showing the largest measles outbreak in the US in decades. There are over 1500 cases as of October 7 2025
