Quote for the Day:

For the record, Census figures report the U.S. population to be only 340 million.

Still, Bondi’s numbers are a big step up from figures she cited just 24 hours earlier when she posted on April 29 that the Trump administration had saved “over 119 million lives.”

“Today is Fentanyl Awareness day. In President Trump’s first 100 days, we’ve seized over 22 million fentanyl laced pills, saving over 119 million lives,” Bondi said on X. “We are fighting relentlessly for the families of loved ones lost, for those whose lives are at risk, and for the soul of our nation. We will not rest until this poison is off our streets and those peddling it are behind bars.”
