NEW: Trump is pushing to delay a ban on intoxicating hemp products that experts warn can be dangerous. Among the beneficiaries is Susie Wiles' son-in-law. Bret Worley, who married Caroline Wiles in June, runs a company that sells intoxicating hemp gummies & vapes with names like “Trainwreck.”

Trump Seeks a Boost for Hemp That Would Benefit a Top Aide’s Family (Gift Article)

At the White House’s request, senators tucked a change sought by the hemp industry into a crucial spending bill. It would benefit the son-in-law of Susie Wiles, the president’s chief of staff.

At least 54 people died in ICE custody since Trump took office. Another 11 died after being shot by ICE-with 41 gunshot victims altogether El-Sayed is right. ICE must be disbanded. And everyone responsible needs to be held accountable. Even if-especially if-that includes criminal prosecutions

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state." This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states. I’m voting NO.

When he was Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Mike Rogers (the Republican candidate for Senate in Michigan) publicly took the position that "you can't have your privacy violated if you don't know your privacy is violated." Colbert had some fun with that: crooksandliars.com/cltv/2013/10...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says the CLARITY Act -- a bill to create federal crypto regs -- doesn't currently exist. Asked if she thinks it will pass, she laughs, "What's going to pass? There's no bill."

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

Every corporate media outlet in America covered the same motion regarding the Trumps and Capital One this weekend. Nobody opened what was underneath it. So—I did. This is a bigger scandal than we ever thought. Spread the word. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/twelve-day...

Twelve Days Before Trump’s Bank Cut Him Off, Somebody Wrote A Memo

Capital One hasn’t released it. The Trumps’ own lawyers described it in a filing nobody read. Plus 25 states in court over the tariffs, and the nurse ICE picked the wrong fight with.

RFK Jr. ordered the CDC to stop tracking cyclosporiasis, because, well, "If you don't track it, you don't have any cases." Now, with people dying from it, the story can no longer be covered up. RFK Jr. needs to be put in a place where he can no longer harm people.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
