Bondi put 1000+ personnel on finding and tagging Trump’s name in the Epstein files. There were training videos showing them how. I’ve filed a FOIA for those videos and have sued the government to get them.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

CNBC: Is importing beef from Argentina a possibility?

BROOKE ROLLINS: Yes, the president has said he's in discussions with Argentina. It will not be very much. Argentina is also facing a foot and mouth disease issue.

"If Democrats continue to center their opposition to Trump around actions that a broad swath of Americans decisively oppose, they have a substantial chance of landing direct hits on the foundations of his nascent dictatorship." — @davidrlurie.bsky.social

A rickety dictatorship

Trump's hand of cards is weaker than it appears.

The corrosive public health impact of RFK’s MAHA foolishness is not just being felt at the federal level, but also at the local level where his ideological soulmates are hard at work creating more business for local dentists.

All across the West, lawmakers are skipping over the will of voters and yanking fluoride from municipal water systems. My latest story for @highcountrynews.org takes a deep dive into the fight over fluoride in the age of MAHA.

That’s not how I expected the second half of this headline to go. “Part of White House Reduced to Rubble” should be followed by “What the Fuck.”

Thanks to Donald Trump and his MAGA lapdogs in Congress, the government shutdown is going to deprive millions of Californians in need of their November food benefits.

It is long past time for the GOP to grow a spine, stand up to Trump, and stop endangering people's lives.

🚨Dear white people who STILL wonder why black people are hesitant to trust, to feel safe marching in the streets, to do anything without the weight of oppression. The rules never changed. Hate never let up and crimes against POC will continue to rise. Being blinded by privilege is your decision. 1/2

It makes me cringe every time I see President in front of trump’s name. Let’s just stop giving him that title and respect. He’s not worthy!

I treat the Bolton prosecution the same as indictments of Comey and James because they are all the product of Donald Trump's vindictive abuse of the DOJ.

Also, I don't trust a single word in any of the indictments. They were drafted by prosecutors who ultimately report to Bondi and Trump.
