Benny Johnson shows up 8 times in Sara Ellis' opinion, partly by capturing Noem and Bovino saying illegal shit.

On October 3, 2025, Secretary Noem spoke to agents at the Broadview facility before they began their shift. She said: When we leave here, we’re going to go hard. We’re going to hammer these guys who are advocating for violence against the American people. What they are doing is advocating to harm not just you and your colleagues but your families and they’re doxing your identities and victimizing people every day by the way that they’re talking, speaking, who they’re affiliated with, who they’re funded with, and what they’re talking about as far as consequences for what we’re doing by protecting this country. So we’re going to go out there and we’re going to make sure that there’s consequences for the way that they’re behaving, and then we’re going to prosecute them. We’re going to bring them to justice. We’re not taking this anymore. . . . We’re going to give you guys all the authority that you need to arrest these individuals who are advocating for violence against you. Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson), X (Oct. 3, 2025 1:05 p.m.), https://x.com/bennyjohnson/ status/1974174065985470970. Bovino followed up by telling the agents: You’re going to be put in full effect . . . That crowd there is, is an unsafe crowd on either side. . . . And when they resist, what happens? They get arrested. So it’s now going to be a free arrest zone. And, I’ll give them one warning that that’ll be for safety of, of us and the Secretary to leave. So they’re getting it here as soon as we leave. Id. Secretary Noem finished by stating, “[m]ake sure that these individuals are not allowed to conduct this kind of activity anymore.” Id.

🚨 NEW/EXCLUSIVE: The FBI turned over dozens of emails to me in response to my #FOIA request that provides a behind-the-scenes look at discussions involving the review and redaction of the Epstein files

www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Email says We are prepared to receive boxes tomorrow, as NY agents are travelling to WFO in the morning, and vill arrive to Winchester where they will start photographing and we will start scanning and processing the physical files. Once I see the volume, I'|l have a better estimate of processing times, although 1 suggest we do a rolling delivery to further demonstrate the FBIls commitment to delivery and transparency.

Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.

"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."
Today, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly released the following statement: "When / was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. / upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since / retired - which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents. "In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much. "Secretary Hegseth's tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President's posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death. "If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution."

Pete Hegseth must be immediately called before both Houses of Congress and be told to his face in front of the nation and the world, that if he gives illegal or Unconstitutional orders, he will face prison for the rest of his natural life.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:
