.@MikeRogersForMI CALLS OUT Abdul El-Sayed for trying to hide his defund the police agenda from Michiganders:
"He did call for defunding the police...how we found it is he deleted all of this material. Why would you do that?"
The litigation asks the court to "prevent payments from Epstein's estate" to Indyke and Kahn while the litigation proceeds.
But neither Indyke or Kahn have received any money from the estate. They do stand to receive a lot...but only if anything's left.

It's that time of year again. Send me pictures of mailers! Will redact any personal identifying info, obviously
PSA: Please send me all political mailers that come your way in 2026. It is lowkey one of my favorite parts about political reporting.
And this mailer uses a lot of tweets we reported here: cnn.com/2026/06/01/politics/…

NEW: Katie Zacharia shared at least 15 social media posts identifying her as an “attorney” over the past two years, despite having failed the California bar exam and acknowledging publicly she had been advised not to use the term "attorney" to describe herself. cnn.com/2026/10/15/politics/…
One of my favorite subgenres of stories: people calling themselves lawyer/attorney or doctor/physician or political strategist with shaky evidence
New: White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia calls herself a lawyer. There’s no evidence she was admitted to practice law in the United States, and legal experts say foreign citizens cannot take the bar in China.
My deep dive:

NEW: Our report on Sen. Roger Marshall’s consistent defending of the war in Iran, arguing it was worth the economic pain of higher prices. Marshall repeatedly predicted gas prices would decide the midterms. Now they’re up 57% in Kansas.

Among the Truth Social reposts we found shared by incoming White House press secretary Katie Zacharia were a seemingly pro-Putin post claiming he was fighting a “cabal” in Ukraine, and another implying Joan Rivers was killed for saying Michelle Obama had a penis.

President Donald Trump's incoming White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, repeatedly made baseless accusations of pedophilia against prominent Democrats and shared conspiracy-related content, including claims that echoed the debunked "Pizzagate" theory and that Hollywood elites were pedophilic cannibals, according to a CNN KFile review of her social media posts. cnn.it/4hHrwjY

Just weeks after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Zacharia also posted seemingly in support of Vladimir Putin, reposting a post that the Russian president was fighting a secret network of powerful elites. cnn.com/2026/10/12/politics/…

I struggle to understand how the New York Times wrote this full story without mentioning that she herself indicated for executing Democrats before being elected to office — she has offered zero contrition for them and only claimed that somebody else made them.

A CNN analysis found that candidates and outside groups have aired more than 160 unique Epstein-related ads in the 2026 midterms, backed by more than $35 million in airtime. That marks a striking jump from the 2024 presidential election, when only three such ads aired – all in local Florida races, where the Epstein scandal first erupted. cnn.it/4yF1iop
