NEWS: The Trump administration just announced it will eliminate the EPA’s Office of Research and Development and begin firing hundreds of government scientists.

For months, the Trump administration denied they were doing this… even after a leaked document exposed their plans.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said she will ask a federal court to unseal more grand jury testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein case.

But those transcripts, which could take weeks to release, would constitute only a fraction of the evidence the FBI has. wapo.st/40TzAVW
Attorney General Bondi expected to seek release of Epstein grand jury testimony
The attorney general said she would ask a court Friday to unseal pertinent grand jury records. That’s a portion of what would be included in the Justice Department’s broader investigative file.

The Department of Justice knows who Epstein's four named co-conspirators are and probably has a good idea of who the other potential co-conspirators are. Demand they release those files now, so that we know who else was in on this “wonderful secret.”

Whatever is learned about the death, those details are going to raise serious questions about the deployment of law enforcement resources under Trump adviser Stephen Miller’s dragnet.

Why Did a 75-Year-Old Man in Poor Health Just Die in ICE Custody?
Isidro Perez came to the United States from Cuba nearly 60 years ago. This is who Stephen Miller is going after now?

How’s that trickle down working for you, it never has & never will!

All Americans should be insisting that the wealthy & corporations pay their fair share in taxes, not cut benefits & services to pay for more tax cuts.

The definition of insanity…

Trust Trump, whenever he opens his mouth he lies.
Why talk to him or listen to him?

After hearing Trump blather on for some 40 minutes with the new Canadian PM Mark Carney sitting there, I’d like to apologize to our longtime ally for this uneducated, ill-informed buffoonery and bombast pretending to be strength.

If you’re tired of watching Chuck Schumer fold while Trump steamrolls everything in his path—do something about it.

CALL. YOUR. DEMOCRATIC SENATOR.

Tell them: we need new leadership. Schumer’s had years to rise to the moment—and he hasn’t. We need a fighter, not a doormat.
