House Oversight Democrats are demanding Oversight Republicans hold a hearing with Pam Bondi to examine the DOJ's "botched release" of the Epstein files.
"Let's be clear: Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice are breaking the law every single day the Epstein files are kept from the public."

Commentators have to stop describing these rebukes of Trump as rare. The Senate voted to roll back his tariffs. Both chambers delivered a historic rebuke on the Epstein files. The House is voting this week to undo part of his health care agenda and override two vetoes. His coalition is fraying.
NEWS: Senate votes 52-47 to advance a measure restricting Trump's power to use military force in Venezuela.
A rare warning shot from Congress to Trump as he dials up foreign rhetoric.
Voting YES: Democrats + Rand Paul, Collins, Murkowski, Young, Hawley.

Oh yay ... we're gonna bomb Mexico now.🙄
Trump, in a sit down interview on Fox News aired just now, said the US will be conducting land strikes against the cartels.
"We are gonna start now hitting land, with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico."

Apparently Trump told Hannity tonight that he wants Corina Machado's Nobel Peace Prize and he expects her to give it to him when she visits next week.
I wonder if he has a clue how embarrassing this is and how it looks to the rest of the world?
