NEW: Texas AG Ken Paxton announces Major investigation into Major Grocery Chains Spraying PESTICIDES on their “Organic” Foods without Custumer Knowledge
The pesticide at issue is ProduceMaxx, an EPA-registered antimicrobial pesticide containing high concentrations of hypochlorous acid—a form of chlorine. Thousands of stores across the United States spray it on produce through misting systems to control bacteria and extend shelf life.
Consumers buying organic produce assume they haven’t been treated with pesticides. They don’t know that stores are spraying pesticides on the organic produce while it’s on the shelf. And they aren’t being told that they need to wash their organic produce before eating—even though federal law requires produce sprayed with chlorine to be rinsed with drinking water before consumption to maintain USDA organic certification. Many grocery stores hide their misting equipment and ProduceMaxx containers from customer view and provide no signage or warning labels about the pesticide treatment and the need to wash the organic produce.
"Many Texans choose organic produce specifically to avoid harmful pesticides," said Attorney General Paxton. "It’s not only wrong for grocers to mislead consumers about chemicals pesticides being sprayed on their food—it may very well be illegal. There should be no shortcuts when it comes to food safety, and my office will ensure that Texas consumers are not misled about the state of the produce they purchase."
Attorney General Paxton is demanding that if Texas grocery stores continue using antimicrobial pesticides like ProduceMaxx, they must, at minimum, install clear signage informing consumers that their produce has been sprayed with a pesticide and include instructions to rinse before consumption in accordance with federal law and USDA guidelines.
How about STOP spraying our foods with POISON!

Today, we are designating the Lebanese, Egyptian, and Jordanian chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist groups. Under President Trump's leadership, the United States will eliminate the capabilities and operations of Muslim Brotherhood chapters that threaten U.S. citizens and our national security.

Bill and Hillary Clinton have refused to appear for scheduled closed-door depositions before the Republican-led House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform as part of its ongoing investigation into connections related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
This development occurred on January 13, 2026, when former President Bill Clinton did not show up for his subpoenaed deposition (scheduled for that day), with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's deposition set for the following day (January 14, 2026). The subpoenas were originally issued in August 2025 and had been rescheduled multiple times, including delays due to cited personal reasons such as attending a funeral.
Key Details from the Clintons' Position
In a joint letter (described across multiple reports as lengthy, around 4-8 pages including legal analysis) addressed to Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), the Clintons stated they would not comply, arguing that the subpoenas are "invalid and legally unenforceable". Their main points include:
The requests lack a valid legislative purpose tied to the committee's stated focus on federal enforcement of sex trafficking laws.
They claim selective enforcement, noting that the committee accepted written statements or waived in-person appearances from other subpoenaed former officials (e.g., several former attorneys general and FBI directors).
They have already provided what they describe as the "little information" they possess about Epstein voluntarily, emphasizing that Epstein's crimes were horrific but that no accusations of wrongdoing have been made against them.
They accused the process of being politically motivated, potentially aimed at embarrassing political rivals, and warned that pursuing contempt could halt congressional work and lead to imprisonment attempts.
The New York Times published an article including access to the letter/document, describing it as a 4-page refusal statement. Other outlets like POLITICO, NBC News, and Axios reference the letter's content, including legal arguments from their attorneys.

The New York Times article with embedded document reference:
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/us/politics/bill-hillary-clinton-testimony-epstein-inquiry-contempt.html
Oversight Committee official statements and related releases: https://oversight.house.gov/ (see releases from January 13, 2026, confirming the no-show and intent to proceed with contempt).
Committee Response and Next Steps
Chairman Comer announced immediately after the no-show that the committee would initiate contempt of Congress proceedings against Bill Clinton next week (during a committee markup session). He noted the subpoena was approved unanimously (bipartisan vote) by the committee earlier. If Hillary Clinton also fails to appear, similar action is likely.
Contempt of Congress is a rare enforcement tool. It can be:
Civil (court-enforced compliance).
Criminal (referral to the Department of Justice for prosecution, with potential penalties up to 1 year in prison and/or fines up to $100,000).
Historical examples include cases like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro (former Trump associates), who faced prison time after defying subpoenas. However, no former president has ever been successfully compelled to testify under subpoena, and precedents exist where such efforts were dropped or withdrawn (e.g., attempts involving former President Trump in other contexts).
No criminal charges have been filed against the Clintons related to Epstein, and reports emphasize that the committee is seeking answers about documented associations (e.g., White House visits during Clinton's presidency and flights on Epstein's plane post-presidency), not alleging misconduct.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) implies that Senate Democrats will once again shut down the US Government. This time to defund DHS and ICE.
GOP Senate needs to be ready to immediately end the filibuster and pass funding. It’s time to work around Democrats.

The Florida Department of Health randomly bought 25 baby formulas from stores, almost 70% of the baby formulas they bought tested positive for heavy metals like arsenic, lead and mercury above legal limits
“The Florida Department of Health has collected 24 infant formulas from seven different brands purchased for multiple locations both online and in stores. Those samples were tested for arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. What we found in those 24 samples was troubling. Of the 24 infant formulas tested, 16 of those formulas contained at least one, if not more, heavy metals that exceeded federal standards.”
