JUDGE MILLETT: If the govt decides very quickly to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty, the people whose ancestors — that was the first thing they saw coming to this country, but the govt moved too fast — nothing can be done?
DOJ: I think that’s right, yes.

When Trump pulled out of the international nuclear agreement with Tehran in 2018, Iran lacked even a single bomb's worth of uranium. Since then, it accumulated 22,000 pounds of enriched uranium. @BlackiLi @WilliamJBroad nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

A convicted fraudster paid two right-wing lobbyists $960,000 for "seeking a federal pardon" for him. Months later, Trump pardoned him. @PostKranish @AaronGSchafer washingtonpost.com/politics/…

President Donald Trump shared a claim that former President Barack Obama received millions in Obamacare-related royalties before Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency stepped in to stop it. That claim originated from satire.

It would cost $38 billion to extend ACA credits next year and prevent millions of people from losing their healthcare.

Donald Trump’s lawyers literally argued in court yesterday that feeding starving families undermines his ability to use hunger as political leverage for the shutdown.

RFK Jr had slashed the CDC’s program to monitor and track food-borne outbreaks back in August. Fast forward to now… deadly listeria outbreak across the U.S. has now caused 25 hospitalizations and 6 deaths across 18 states, one of the largest outbreaks. These events are linked.

#Listeria—a deadly pathogen—caused 6 deaths & 25 hospitalizations in a national outbreak tied to prepared pasta. One pregnant woman lost her baby.
The U.S. FoodNet program just stopped tracking #Listeria
Food safety matters—we need to restore monitoring of food-borne outbreaks

Congress’ nonpartisan number cruncher says between $7 billion and $14 billion in economic activity could be permanently lost because of the shutdown. Depending on the Trump administration’s actions, it could be an even bigger hit.

The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did.
We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers: propub.li/47D7mBd

The MD-11 (registration N259UP) that crashed in Louisville was on the ground in San Antonio from September 3 to October 18. This suggests the aircraft underwent maintenance during that period.
