BREAKING: Biden's Justice Department racks up a massive win by arresting a top Mexican drug cartel leader who faked his own death and has been living in California under a fake name.
This destroys the MAGA lie that Democrats are soft on the cartels...
"The Jalisco Cartel — one of the world’s most violent and prolific drug trafficking organizations — is weaker today because of the tenacious efforts of law enforcement to track down and arrest a cartel leader who allegedly faked his own death and assumed a false identity to evade justice and live a life of luxury in California," said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.
Cristian Fernando Gutierrez-Ochoa, the cartel figure in question, is a member of the incredibly violent Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación and is the son-in-law of the organization's leader El Mencho.
He was living in a luxury apartment in Riverside, California and was arrested earlier this month. He has been charged with international drug trafficking as well as money laundering.
According to prosecutors, Gutierrez-Ochoa masterminded the transportation and distribution of some 40,000 kilograms of meth and 2,000 kilograms of cocaine into the United States. He also allegedly kidnapped members of the Mexican Navy.
This is the crucial work that the Department of Justice does. Meanwhile, Donald Trump wanted to put an alleged child sex trafficker in charge of it — and will likely select someone even worse now that Matt Gaetz has withdrawn.

BREAKING NEWS:
Trump has picked Pam Bondi to take the place of Matt Gaetz as his attorney general pick.
Bondi is one of the most crooked state AG’s in history, dropping Trump’s University case in 2013 in Florida, after receiving a $25,000 donation from Donald Trump.
Horrible.
BREAKING: Representative Jim Clyburn just demolished the myth that Donald Trump won in a landslide and has a mandate. Trump didn’t even crack 50%. His lead is slimming and he barely holds a House majority. These are the facts.
BREAKING: The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israel's Netanyahu and Gallant as well as Hamas officials, accusing them of war crimes https://t.co/7OJv0fhtcs
BREAKING: So here it is, in black and white: payments from Matt Gaetz to young girls, with notes like "Being awesome," "Being my friend," and "Just because." Venmo receipts don’t lie.
$6,198.75 worth of what exactly? Friendship? Awesomeness? Or something far more sinister? And let’s not overlook the "flight + xtra 4 u" note—what flights? To where? For whom?
These aren’t just bad optics; they’re flashing red lights for an investigation. How does someone like this hold office while flaunting behavior that screams corruption—or worse? It’s not just unethical; it’s disgusting.
If this doesn’t spark accountability, what will?
The details of this, which @Mediaite obtained, are *so* horrifying (and importantly, new and unknown to Trump’s team beforehand) that for the first time, I think Hegseth’s confirmation may fail. https://t.co/4FkvtOy1ln
A California woman told police that Trump Cabinet pick Pete Hegseth physically blocked her from leaving a hotel room, took her phone, and then sexually assaulted her even though she “remembered saying ‘no’ a lot,” a police report obtained by CNN shows.

Another one.
Sanctimonious Senate Democrats who threw @alfranken under the bus over far less will probably now watch every one of these cabinet members get confirmed by Republicans.

The woman who Pete Hegseth paid off “went to a hospital and reported a sexual assault on October 12, where she underwent a rape kit exam and gave the clothes she was wearing on the night of the alleged assault to police. A nurse at the hospital first reported the alleged assault to authorities” according to CNN who reviewed the 22 page police report from the incident.
Seems like pretty solid allegations.
Hold the fuck on.
Trump voters with preexisting conditions are out there crying now because they JUST realized Obamacare *is* the Affordable Care Act?!?
The Affordable Care Act they just voted to repeal cuz they were good thanks to… OBAMACARE?!?
Are you fucking kidding me???
