A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.

Imma try and keep this short, but this is what i think is importantly historically. The 1960s civil rights laws and decisions were not technically "new legislation." it was a restoration of what already was.

After defeating the rule last night which would have extended the provision that prevented House votes on Trump's tariffs for the past year, the House is now taking its first vote on a resolution to stop Trump's tariffs.
This first resolution targets the tariffs on Canada; others will follow later.

Seems the Pentagon is testing anti-drone high-energy lasers near Fort Bliss in El Paso, and didn't feel this was dangerous enough to close airspace over.
The FAA administrator disagreed.
Last week, these lasers successfully protected the American people from a sinister children's party balloon.

Looks like they murdered someone else in broad daylight.
Video of the ICE-kidnapping victim under a sheet. You will also hear the officer say he saw them moving. I am inclined to believe the person was alive.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

The FAA has issued a separate security NOTAM for Santa Teresa, New Mexico, banning all flight operations in the affected area for the same time window and altitude limits as the El Paso airspace closure, citing “special security reasons.”

Well, apparently we're going to have to invade Mexico to divert us all from the global sex trafficking ring that is being investigated by actual adults in the EU.

Just looked at ForeFlight and, I'll be damned, there is a TFR in effect and has been. Why is there a standing TFR over El Paso?
Now that the air travel has been shut down around El Paso for 10 days, the next thing worth looking out for is how far federal forces set up checkpoints around the city towards its links to the North and not just directly at the Mexican border

Leslie Wexner is one of the 10 co-conspirators named by the FBI during the 2019 arrest of Epstein.
He gave Epstein millions of dollars and the $70 million NYC townhouse.
Leon Black gave Epstein over $170 million.
Both men are alive.
How come they've never been asked to testify?
