It's another Tampa-licious Day!

BREAKING: Dozens of victims of Jeffrey Epstein have filed a lawsuit against former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of helping conceal critical details during the earlier handling of the Epstein investigation.

Leading the lawsuit is Maria Farmer—one of the first women to publicly accuse Epstein—along with a group of survivors who say they have collectively spent more than $1.1 million to pursue the case in search of accountability.

The plaintiffs argue that key decisions made during the original case allowed Epstein to avoid more serious charges for years, raising troubling questions about whether influential figures helped shield him from justice.

The lawsuit has quickly drawn widespread public attention and support, with many viewing it as a long-overdue effort to uncover the truth and hold powerful individuals accountable.

If the case moves forward, it could reveal significant new information about how the Epstein investigation was handled—and whether opportunities for justice were deliberately missed.

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.

DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.

My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.

DOJ is now 0-5.

My firm is 5-0.

Lesson: When we fight we win.

[Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith @CarlosGSmith]

It doesn't matter what Texas has done.

It doesn't matter what California has done.

In Florida, map-rigging to benefit one political party over another is COMPLETELY ILLEGAL.

Kyle Kulinski: “I’m so over the false equivalence. The Democrats did not kick 18M people off Medicaid, the Republicans did. The Democrats did not repeatedly cut taxes for the Epstein Class and raise it on the bottom 90%, the Republicans did. There is no both sides bad false equivalence bullshit”

🚨BREAKING🚨

Democrat Analilia Mejia has defeated Republican Joe Hathaway and Independent Alan B. Bond in the New Jersey 11th Congressional District Special Election.

This is a 🔵 hold.

[Collins War Room @CollinsWarRoom]

Byron lied about dealing drugs to Florida’s kids.

He lied about his financial crimes.

What else is he lying about?

RFK Jr: I could not answer those questions because it's not my agency

HORSFORD: You don't coordinate with the EPA in rolling back protections that would increase exposure to heavy metals?!

RFK Jr: Calm down, congressman

HORSFORD: Do not tell me to calm down! Healthcare is real

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨 BOOM: Democratic Congressman Lloyd Doggett just blew the lid off a shocking reality:

Trump has pardoned “more healthcare fraudsters [the ones who take advantage of dying people] than any Administration in American history.”

This is a major scandal.

[Jesse Scheckner @JesseScheckner]

The @OrlandoSentinel beat me to reporting how @J_Fishback voted in D.C. in 2020, adding more doubt to his Gov race viability. (You must be a FL resident 7 straight yrs to be eligible.)

That doesn't mean I can't share the proof we both got. So here it is. More reporting coming.

[Jennifer Bendery @jbendery]

JUST IN: Aliya Rahman, the MN woman whose violent arrest by ICE agents in January was filmed + went viral, today filed a complaint against DHS over its agents' "brutal tactics and conduct."

A first step for suing the federal govt, which she intends to do. https://t.co/bnm9BocU0y

[ThePatrioticBlonde™🇺🇸 @ImBreckWorsham]

Well, well, well.....What do we have here? Could it be an email between Epstein and JD Vance’s techno-tyrant benefactor Peter Thiel where they plan to “collapse society" in order to create wealth opportunities for themselves?

Well, I'll be damned. It is!

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Senator Jon Ossoff just promised that when Democrats win the majority, Democrats are going to get to the bottom of Donald Trump's corruption. Let's go.

[Senate Budget Democrats @SenateBudget]

KAINE: You've sacked 350,000 people, do you know how many were veterans?

VOUGHT: *deflects*

KAINE: 30% of the federal workforce are veterans. So when you fire 350,000 people, I think you've fired more veterans than any other administration in history.

[Senate Budget Democrats @SenateBudget]

MERKLEY: You didn't include deficit numbers in the budget. Why not?

VOUGHT: We didn't want to confuse the country.

MERKLEY: The deficit can be extracted if you do the math—it's $2.2 TRILLION in 2027. Perhaps you didn't include it because you didn't want to draw attention to it.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

DOGGETT: What role do you play in the soft in crime approach on healthcare fraudsters?

RFK Jr: I don't think there's anybody who believes this administration is soft on fraud--

DOGGETT: More fraudsters pardoned than any president in American history

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Today I asked the top nonpartisan budget official in our government an important question.

What single piece of legislation has contributed most to the national debt in the last decade?

The answer? Trump's Big Ugly Bill—and it's not even close.

[Chicano Marine 🇲🇽🇺🇸💙 @elchicanomarine]

🚨🚨BREAKING🚨🚨
John Gillette’s ‘voter fraud’ investigation uncovers… 2 people who never voted.
two registrations.
In a state of 7.6 MILLION. Thats just embarrassing.😂😂😂

You went hunting for fraud and came back with paperwork errors.

And THIS is what you want to use to justify making it harder for millions of actual voters?

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Trump’s approval rating is 34%. Let that number sink in.

Lower than Jimmy Carter at his lowest point.

As low as Herbert Hoover in the middle of the Great Depression before he got ousted.

He campaigned on ending wars in the Middle East. We have a new war in the Middle East.

He campaigned on lowering prices. Prices are up across the board: energy, tariffs, everything.

And the same people who were with him when he said he wouldn’t do it are still with him now that he’s doing it.

Here’s the real question: Does he care about any of this?

I would submit to everybody — he does not.

He’s entered the nihilistic stage of his political career.

The polls don’t matter. The people don’t matter. The consequences don’t matter.

That is the most dangerous version of this man.

And that’s exactly where we are.

What say you @PressSec?

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Former NFL player Wesley Leasy and his daughter are suing after police detained them at gunpoint in a case of mistaken identity while he was picking her up at the airport. Leasy says officers handcuffed him on the ground and pointed guns and lasers at both of them after mistaking his white Mercedes for a homicide suspect’s vehicle — even though the suspect was described as a young white man with tattoos on his face and neck. Leasy told @annaschecter the encounter left him fearing both he and his daughter could be killed. CBS News has reached out to the Phoenix and Mesa police departments and has not received a response to the lawsuit.
