Every October, we honor the strength and resilience of women and families affected by breast cancer. But cancer touches all of us in some way, and more people today are seeking options beyond the standard approach. That's why I want to tell you about what All Family Pharmacy is doing this month. They are helping patients gain access to trusted, affordable medicines like ivermectin and mabendazole. These treatments that are sometimes used off-label are currently being researched in Florida for their potential to support cancer treatment and prevention. For those looking for an alternative or addition to their current care, it's always important to consult with a doctor, and All Family Pharmacy makes that simple.

President Trump responding to a New York Times report that he is seeking about $230 million in damages from the DOJ he now oversees as a result of the lawfare against him. An unprecedented situation.

At issue, two administrative complaints submitted to the DOJ. The first step in seeking damages. If no settlement is reached, the next step could be a lawsuit. According to The Times, both claims filed prior to Mr. Trump's return to office. The first, submitted in 2023, reportedly, quote, seeks damages for a number of purported violations of his rights, including the FBI and special counsel investigation into Russian election tampering and possible connections to the 2016 Trump campaign. The second complaint, filed in 2024, relates to the FBI's 2022 search of Mr. Trump's Mar-a-Lago home and club for classified documents and accuses the DOJ of malicious prosecution. From the complaint obtained by The Times, quote, Attorney General Garland, FBI Director Wray, and Special Counsel Smith's targeting indictment and harassment of President Trump has always been malicious political prosecution and

Is that something you want your legal team? I don't know what the numbers are. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is that They would owe me a lot of money, but I'm not looking for money. I'd give it to charity or something. I would give it to charity. Now, with the country, it's interesting because I'm the one that makes the decision, right? And, you know, that decision would have to go across my desk. And it's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. In other words, did you ever have one of those cases where you have to decide how much you're paying yourself in damages?
