A number of member of Congress from both major parties have announced they are heading for the exits, either because they are seeking higher office, are not running again or are leaving early before the 2026 elections.

Large law firms are siding with Trump over their clients and employees. Let me give you one statistic to exemplify this:
DOJ is suing 22 states for access to sensitive voter data.
My firm of 60 lawyers is fighting in all 22.
Not a single big law firm is fighting along side us in any case.

When a government official declares that any particular group of people don't have a right to due process and to be treated equally under the law, the country is going to a very dark place.

Trump claims that "[t]he Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans." If that is true, why is it that all Democrats want complete transparency while certain Republicans--with Trump as their leader--want DOJ to release "NO MORE" files?

It has been 395 days of continuous demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Our citizens demand the resignation of Georgia's mostly illegitimate and pro-Russian government, the release of political prisoners, and the return to a pro-European course.

The Epstein files were released right before Christmas and that timing matters. Dumping controversial information on a holiday is one of the oldest tricks in politics, designed to limit attention and control the news cycle.
