Draw on your own experience:

Is there any situation you've ever been part of, with you or anyone else in the hot seat, in which a person who does NOT have something to hide, reacts the way Bondi does?

I've been on trial juries that concluded "we can't trust that witness," after evasions like this

A screenshot of an X.com post by @Chris_Meloni asking, "Are the Epstein files in Chicago?" followed by a reply from @Sec_Noem , Secretary Kristi Noem, stating, "Chicago, we're here for you," accompanied by a nighttime aerial video of a cityscape labeled "BODY CAM 2" with a timestamp of "2025-09-30" and a duration of 1:07.

Maybe Portland.

Arizona blood bank defends against consumer fraud accusations Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes says Cord Blood Registry preys on the vulnerabilities of new parents and fears of potential diseases that may be treated with umbilical cord blood stem cells.

"The state argued Monday that CBR’s physical presence in Tucson establishes 'a clear Arizona nexus' to litigate under the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act." courthousenews.com/arizona-bloo...

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

Thanks, New Yorker

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr. We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

🚨 Six former U.S. Surgeons General — Republican and Democrat alike — just issued an unprecedented warning: RFK Jr. is endangering America’s health.

He’s silencing scientists, spreading vaccine lies, and wrecking public trust

As HHS chief, he’s:

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Kuvin: So, we know the FBI has it. We have to assume they reviewed it—and that some agent, or multiple agents, have created internal memos identifying who appears on those videos. And that’s what we need: the internal FBI memos showing who they’ve identified on the recordings.

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Development of an ultrahigh affinity, trimeric ACE2 biologic as a universal SARS-CoV-2 antagonist - Communications Biology Structure-guided engineering of a trimeric ACE2 viral decoy reveals high affinity for spike protein, viral inhibition, and serum stability, offering a universal therapeutic strategy against SARS-CoV-2 variants and SARS-CoV-1 through symmetry-matched avidity.

California scientists developed a trimeric ACE2 biologic that tightly binds all known SARS-CoV-2 variants and even SARS-CoV-1.

By mimicking the virus’s entry receptor, this decoy blocks infection with ultrahigh stability and near-universal protection.

The 13th Largest Army in World Is Unleashing Violence in Chicago As federal agents kill and use extreme force in Chicago, their budget surges.

One thing to understand about what's happening now is that on Oct 1, the deportation machine's budget increased dramatically: $170 billion in NEW funding, averaging to $42.5 billion per year. That's just below the Israeli military's annual budget. It's the equivalent of 13th biggest army on earth.

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon.

The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

Trump is ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to deploy their National Guard, ignoring the truth, lying about violence to justify his invasions.
