The Justice Department has released a batch of previously unreleased documents from the Epstein files that include notes from FBI interviews with a woman who says she was assaulted by President Donald Trump as a minor.
In interviews with the FBI, the woman alleged she was assaulted by Trump in the 1980s and that she was also a victim of Epstein's. The documents were released after multiple news outlets discovered they were missing from the initial mass release of files.
@AliRogin reports.

1) This person attacked our Capitol. Pardoned by Trump. Then found guilty of molestation of a child under 12, and of another under 16.
2) Five--FIVE--other pardoned J6 insurrectionists have also been charged with sex crimes against kids.
3) Dems should tattoo this on Trump.

The first-ever tariff-free shipment of UK beef has arrived in the United States under the new 13,000-tonne reciprocal quota. 🇺🇸🤝
The £190,000 consignment from Northern Ireland’s Foyle Foods benefited from nearly £50,000 in tariff relief.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

I don't think that this weird video exposes anything that people don't already say about this "stuff." I don't see how this advances anyone's cause. And what's up with using the term harvest instead of kill because it's politically correct? Is that a real thing?

Undercover at CattleCon: Ranchers & Insiders Expose How Tyson, JBS, Cargill, & National Beef Secretly Control America's Beef Market. The OMG team did a deep dive, going undercover at CattleCon 2026 in Nashville, Tennessee. We spoke with beef industry insiders and ranchers about the top four companies, Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef, which dominate U.S. beef processing. These four companies process the majority of U.S. beef. Over time, dozens of smaller processors merged into four major companies now known as the “Big Four.” “They [Big Four] are buying like all the companies in the United States… so they don’t have competition.” “They [Big Four] can knock you out of this industry in two seconds.” “They [Big Four] closed all the markets — all the markets are theirs in Brazil and now in the U.S.” In November 2025, President Trump tweeted that cattle prices were falling while boxed beef prices kept rising, calling it “fishy.” With the Department of Justice urging action over possible price manipulation by major meatpackers, we decided to investigate and do something about it. Our team spoke directly with ranchers and industry partners, documenting firsthand how the “Big Four” dominate the market and impact pricing. As beef prices climb, many cattle producers say they have little influence over the prices they receive, raising questions about how costs are set from the ranch to the store shelf. The Department of Justice has looked into whether the biggest beef companies have too much control over the industry and whether they worked together to raise prices. The “Big Four” companies deny any wrongdoing, insisting that prices are driven solely by supply and demand. Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef control most of the U.S. beef industry, raising serious questions about who really sets the price. So when you see higher prices at the grocery store, it’s worth asking why. This may explain why your steak keeps costing more. @TysonFoods @JBSUSA @JBS_oficial @NationalBeeff @Cargill @TheJusticeDept @PamBondi @JusticeATR

If this is true, what are we even doing right now?? By we, I mean this administration.

In a post earlier on Truth Social, President Donald J. Trump announced that the United States is sending a “hospital boat” to Greenland at the request of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, who is currently serving as the White House’s special envoy to Greenland, with the post containing a picture of the USNS Mercy (T-AH-19). Only problem is, both of the U.S. Navy’s hospital ships, USNS Mercy (T-AH-19) and her sister ship USNS Comfort (T-AH-20), are undergoing repairs at Alabama Shipyard in Mobile.

@JerodMcDaniel @leereichmuth When were the glory days?! I'd like to dive into that data.
English
@leereichmuth Further ripples of underpaying cow/calf producers for decades.
This thing has a long tail and will take decades to build it back to its former glory days for those grifting off producers.

Smaller cow-calf operations often face higher per-head costs. But with the right approach, they can remain profitable.

That said, there were great presentations on protein demand, research innovations on NWS, and farmland owners/operators. Any presentation from someone higher than us bureaucrats was propaganda.

Ag Outlook Forum was my first time listening to Trump officials and it's just weird hearing them talk, i.e. how data are interpreted, how numbers are massaged to fit within the desired frame, especially for trade. I will say that Rollins speaks with such enthusiasm

@MikeCallicrate @seedcattleguy I'm referring to the 22% but I guess that came from the seed cattle guy.
English
FYI 22% of the beef consumed here in the U.S. is currently imported. U.S. population has increased over 50% since 1977 and the shortage of mother cows in this country is a serious problem……
DeCarleyTrading.com@carleygarner
I saw this on News Nation over the weekend. We have a shortage of cattle but not meat (cows weigh a lot more than they used to). This is a demand story. People like their beef. 😋😋🐄🐮🤠 #ags #beef #livestock #cattle #livecattle #feedercattle #futures

IBM was the most valuable company in 1985
• It employed ~400,000 people
Nvidia is the most valuable company in 2025
• It employs ~40,000 people
It's also fives times as profitable
Labor is increasingly decoupled from profits
