There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says FBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

A Korean-born researcher and longtime U.S. legal permanent resident has spent the past week detained by immigration officials at the San Francisco International Airport without explanation and has been denied access to an attorney, according to his lawyer.

Trump Is Trying to Hide the Cost of Renovating His New Air Force One The administration transferred nearly $1 billion dollars to a Pentagon project, but those funds will be used to renovate Trump's "flying palace."

Trumpโ€™s flying around in a โ€œgiftedโ€ Qatari jet while hiding that taxpayers are footing the $934M renovation, paid for by slashing a nuclear weapons budget. Itโ€™s not Air Force One, itโ€™s Grift Force One. Corrupt, shady, dangerous.

Screenshot from WSJ article that says 

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. is planning to remove all the members of an advisory panel that determines what cancer screenings and other preventive health measures insurers must cover, people familiar with the matter said.
Kennedy plans to dismiss all 16 panel members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force because he views them as too "woke," the people said.

You may very logically be wondering why in the hell RFK Jr. is dismantling the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), a group of volunteer expert scientists who provide guidance for things like when to begin cancer screenings.

Itโ€™s because he thinks the members are โ€œtoo wokeโ€.

The forgottenโ€”and incredibly importantโ€”history of the abortion pill Mifepristone took longer to get approved than most drugsโ€”but not because it was unsafe.

The biggest takeaway? โ€œHow unnecessarily long it took for the drug to gain FDA approval and how unnecessarily restrictive the FDA was.โ€

US faces alarming shortage of firefighters during peak wildfire season, data reveals Data contradicts what the fire service chief has claimed when he has assured lawmakers the agency is prepared

6 federal firefighters, who asked for anonymity because they are barred from speaking publicly, described how the staffing shortages have complicated crewsโ€™ ability to suppress large fires & contribute to increased injuries & risks for firefighters on the ground.
