“Separately, Attorney General Pam Bondi has authorized a special prosecutor, Ed Martin, to investigate allegations of mortgage fraud involving James and California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff.”

Some of the most pro-Trump coverage NYTimes has ever done.
On Epstein, they chose to adopt Trump's transparently disingenuous framing, treating a "grand jury records" stalling tactic as openness—he's trying to hide the rest—and presenting an obvious lie of "prepared to defer to the courts" as real.

EPSTEIN-Trump is playing games. He’s seeking disclosure of grand jury material but that requires court approval which the law is VERY hard to satisfy. But the government TODAY can disclose all the other investigative material on its own without court approval. Why isn’t it doing that?

What we can discern from this is that, even though the base has willed itself into believing Trump couldn't possibly be in the Epstein files, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino knew full well he's likely all over them.

Another aspect of the emergency order DeSantis is misusing to seize the land where immigrants are being detained in the Everglades is that he is also using it to award multi-million dollar contracts to politically connected vendors without a competitive bidding process.
How did a Jacksonville consulting firm land a $78M contract for critical services at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’?
It’s not clear how Critical Response Strategies landed the work or whether it previously handled managing a detention facility. However, staffers from the firm have a visible presence at the center.
