The Tigers scored nine runs in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Mariners to force a decisive Game 5.

The last time Detroit scored that many runs in a postseason game was in the 1968 World Series.

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

And now you know why Epstein was murdered in prison.

President Trump has weaponized the Justice Department to his own ends, critics say. His calls for prosecutors to file criminal charges against his adversaries have eroded the department’s decadeslong tradition of independence from the White House and threatened the rule of law. nyti.ms/46Zrz3W

500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are at risk of closing because of the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill. Many are in rural areas.

Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage.

They're selling out their own voters.
