Just a reminder that the president of the United States recently had to pay almost $6 million to the woman he sexually abused and defamed, and not one reporter has asked him about it.

US Senator Wyden urges regulators to probe Wall Street banks over Epstein accounts

Is Rep. Max Miller threatening to out Sen. Bernie Moreno for having sex with men?
Moreno won’t call for the resignation of Miller, his son-in-law, accused by Moreno’s daughter of domestic abuse. Is it MAGA loyalty, or is it Miller’s threat to uncover something about the senator?

On the same day that David Ellison claims he's not putting his finger on the scale, there's this: "CBS’s 60 Minutes had the scoop on Jeffrey Epstein’s sketchy financials—before the Bari Weiss–run network fired the reporter fronting the investigation."

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
A second man, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, has died at Delaney Hall, the inhumane ICE detention center run by private prison contractor GEO Group. GEO Group’s profits have soared by over 700% since Trump has been back in office. Imagine profiting from death and suffering. Deplorable.

Senate Republicans are confirming a man as "the nation's chief law enforcement officer" who is violating the law by covering up documents about the president's ex-friend sexually trafficking children.
I refuse to "respect the office" when it's occupied by a convicted felon who is a sexual predator.
Is Miller seriously complaining that his wife took their daughter to the ER with a broken collarbone? Was she supposed to negotiate the visit with him first? No. Your child is hurting, you take her to the ER. Immediately.

ANOTHER death in ICE custody, this time at the controversial Delaney Hall facility. This makes 54 deaths since Trump took office; 1 every 8 days in 2026. His mother says he was denied adequate medical care for chronic conditions, a common accusation ICE has strenuously denied.
