Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air.

President Trump accused a group of Democratic lawmakers of sedition when they told members of the military that they must refuse unlawful orders. But Pam Bondi, the attorney general, said the same thing last year.
Must the Military Disobey Unlawful Orders? Pam Bondi Has Said Yes.
As a lawyer for a conservative think tank, Ms. Bondi, now the attorney general, filed a Supreme Court brief last year saying service members who followed such orders were committing crimes.

How are we supposed to trust the FBI & DOJ after years of watching Donald Trump denigrate & politicize them? That question was brought into sharp focus by the arrest earlier this week of Brian Cole, Jr., on bomb planting charges. joycevance.substack.com/p/charges-in...

They’re desperately trying to separate the pipe bomber from MAGA, Trump, and 1/6. It’s why there’s a 22-day gap in the arrest affidavit. I’ll be covering this on the @meidastouch.com channel tomorrow at noon PT.
Please call the guy the January 6th pipe bomber.

Fox is calling him the "January 5th bomber" because he planted the bombs the night before but really because they don't want to mention 1/6 as a bad day.

Rapist drunkard Fox Propagandist Pete Hegseth is a sadistic killer, a terrorist and a global threat who should be charged with crimes against humanity. The only reason he refers to himself as the “secretary of war” is because he’s a small insignificant man with tiny D syndrome.

After 99 years, Michigan clockmaker Howard Miller is shutting down. The culprit: Trump's tariffs.

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.

In short: Even though the court ordered discovery based on the likelihood of vindictive and selective prosecution, we don't even need to get into it and you should dismiss the charges now given we just learned the DOJ lied to a judge about Costa Rica not accepting Mr. Abrego.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers inform a federal judge about the Washington Post's bombshell: The government's claim that Costa Rica will no longer accept Abrego has been exposed as a lie.

More evidence—"if any were needed"—of vindictive prosecution.
