I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Didn’t realize that the deadly explosion in Tennessee took place in #TN07, which is where the special election is taking place in December.

OUR WORKERS DESERVE TO LIVE.
The explosion in McEwen wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a heartbreak for an entire community. Parents and siblings went to work and never came home. Tennessee families deserve safety, dignity, and accountability. A job should never cost you your life.

DC politicians like John Cornyn promised to lower costs, fight for families, and drain the swamp.
Now they’re trying to gut healthcare for millions to cut taxes for their donors — even shutting down the government to do it.
If you feel conned, you have a place in this campaign.

All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.
Q: On the Venezuela vessel strike, what legal authority were you guys working under?
JD VANCE: The legal authority is there are people who are bringing -- literal terrorists -- who are bringing deadly drugs into our country

but some nights the shaking starts
and i can't stop it
i never envisioned this nightmare
and there's no fix for it

As a lawyer, i learned to apply the facts to the law. Bondi is applying confabulation to the because-he-said-so. This won't go well for her.
NEW: In a desperate attempt to change the narrative on the Epstein files, AG Pam Bondi has apparently issued an order to bring "evidence" that Trump was "framed" in 2016 to a federal grand jury.
