ORDER NO. 6485-2025 APPOINTMENT OF LINDSEY HALLIGAN AS SPECIAL ATTORNEY TO CONDUCT LEGAL PROCEEDINGS IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA AND RATIFICATION OF CERTAIN ACTIONS IN THAT DISTRICT On September 22, 2025, I exercised the authority vested in the Attorney General by 28 U.S.C. § 546 to designate and appoint Lindsey Halligan as the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

DOJ says you can't dismiss the Comey and James indictments bc Pam Bondi retroactively appointed Halligan.

This was signed, perhaps appropriately, on Halloween (after James and Comey submitted their motions).

California National Guard's Drug Interception Skyrockets After Resuming State Control; Governor Newsom Highlights $6.75 Million in Seized Fentanyl Fentanyl seizures in California rose by 240% after the return of the National Guard from an unrelated assignment.

This is the critical work that Donald Trump forced the Cal Guard to stop in order to militarize Los Angeles.

It's long past time for Trump to fully return every service member he wrongfully federalized back to state control.

Trump says he feels 'badly' for the royal family over the Andrew-Epstein scandal.

"It's a terrible thing that's happened to the family."

"That's been a tragic situation, and it's too bad. I mean, I feel badly for the family."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Yes, an important test for the midterms.

At the direction of Governor Newsom, the California National Guard and California Volunteers have been deployed on a humanitarian mission to assist the San Diego Food Bank due to the federal government shutdown's interruption of SNAP food benefits.

At the direction of Governor Newsom, the California National Guard and California Volunteers have been deployed on a humanitarian mission to assist the San Diego Food Bank due to the federal government shutdown's interruption of SNAP food benefits.

As Donald Trump's shutdown delays SNAP benefits, California Volunteers and the California National Guard are on the ground to support food banks and families in need.

With expanded aid in San Diego, California is showing the rest of the nation what real leadership looks like.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

Incidentally, I realized there was good reason to halt overt investigative steps during 2022 pre-election period, more of one than in Hunter Biden (which also halted, if you ignore the leaks to Devlin Barrett): Bc at that period DOJ was aggressively investigating all the fake electors.

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."

Over 7,000 Virginians joined me and President @barackobama.bsky.social in Norfolk yesterday to rally for the future of our Commonwealth.

This Tuesday, let's send a clear message: Virginians are ready for leadership who will put them first.

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

I really truly hope those math teachers sue the people at Turning Point USA for defaming them this weekend and putting their lives in danger.
