How embarrassing it is to watch our once-esteemed Department of Justice behave like this.

The Supreme Court rejected the federal government’s request to deploy the National Guard in Illinois.

It’s time to let our troops go home to celebrate the holidays with their families — and stay home.

They want a national abortion ban. It’s why they went after Roe.

Banning it for veterans is just another step in removing our autonomy and controlling our bodies.

Reproductive freedoms are worth fighting for and veterans deserve better.

Department of Veterans Affairs quietly implements abortion ban

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.

"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files.

But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

The DOJ is lying when it says they *just now* received Epstein files from the Southern District of New York.

This is a lot of words to say that DOJ is in violation of the statutory deadline and will take even longer to produce records that were due last week.

Khanna: You’ve got the DOJ releasing the names of survivors—which they are not allowed to do by law—but not releasing the FBI interview files with those same survivors. Those FBI interviews contain the names of other men: Wall Street tycoons and politicians…

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

INSTITUTIONAL FAILURE

This could’ve been avoided 30 years ago.

Maria Farmer’s 1996 FBI complaint has been unearthed in the Epstein files. It was the first time he was reported to the authorities. And they buried it.

“If the FBI had listened to me in 1996, there would’ve been no more victims.”

Why did all the photos of Trump have victims in them?
Does that mean none of the photos of Bill Clinton had victims in them?

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%.

The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion.

Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024.

Nothing trickled down.
