Mexican team. Theyre there. Okay, fantastic. So that was uplifting. What was also uplifting to me was, i had been asked repeatedly if the Family Members could go and visit. It was really my hope that would happen and i was so pleased to learn that Mayor Cava had organized that effort and made that happen for the families. Because they need to be close to their Loved Ones. They need to see whats going on first hand because the pain that theyre going through, the suffering, the unimaginable desperation to get answers was relieved by that action.

And just moments, he is expected to speak at a republican Party Dinner in North Carolina. Close aides spent the last few days encouraging the former president to move on from the 2020 election, and focus on the future. Such as, Republican Party priorities, heading into the midterms. But sources say trump has become more obsessed, in recent weeks, with this unhinged idea that he could, soon, be reinstated as commander in chief.
