NEW: Humanitarian officials staged a last-minute plea to Trump officials at their fancy hotel to re-start food aid $ for a huge refugee camp in Kenya.

BREAKING: Jack Smith just revealed that Trump broke the law, in his statement to the House.

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

The New York Times is reporting that Dan Bongino is preparing to exit the FBI within the next few weeks and has already been clearing out his office.

He's expected to go right back into podcasting upon his departure.

🚨Europe is now saying the quiet part out loud. A French senator mocked Washington as “the court of Nero.” Portugal, a founding member of NATO, saw its president claim Trump is “objectively… a Soviet or Russian asset.”

We documented dozens of cases of brutality — including physical and sexual abuse from guards — that show a humanitarian disaster unfolding at the Fort Bliss military base, where ICE is operating its largest detention center.

President Trump’s mass detention expansion is inhumane and dangerous.

The chemical industry has launched a multi-million dollar lobbying blitz to influence Trump, including on regulations related to "forever chemicals."

Trump's EPA has also recently added chemical lobbyists to regulatory positions.

GOP slashing healthcare will cause tens of millions of people to lose coverage or see their costs skyrocket. Seems questionable on a number of fronts?

Remember the Koch network? Their super PAC spent 3x as much for Republicans in 2024 as in 2020, and they are pushing for privatization. Latest:

The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.

It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.
