Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

A 12-foot-tall, fake bronze statue of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands and skipping has magically reappeared in D.C., a day after House Democrats released bombshell emails that suggest Trump knew about his late friend’s child sex-trafficking ring.

Anonymous activists are back with their statue, which the Trump administration previously damaged, to satirically honor the men's "long-lasting bond."

36 years ago this week, the Berlin Wall fell.

Each generation faces its own unique fight for freedom in the face of autocracy.

We must continue to persevere in our defense of this sacred American right. #FreedomWeek

If the Japanese hadn’t bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, everyone would’ve been talking about the Jersey Central and Reading Railroads canceling service that day to protest tax increases.

A bad thing is unfolding at NIH this week: It looks like the Trump administration is trying to replace key civil servant scientific leaders, the Institute Directors, with political hires. These directors control the NIH budget, tens of billions.

The author(s) of this memo will come out and they should be shunned the rest of their careers in the law. (Seeing as how John Yoo is a law professor, I’m not getting my hopes up)

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

I just received a document from DHS showing that it has a detained population of 65,000, a staggering total, nearing half the total prison population detained by the Bureau of Prisons. The project is to jam them in horrible conditions until they give up their rights to stay

Today, the judge deciding the legality of Lindsey Halligan's appointment said the court reporter stopped transcribing grand jury proceedings in the Comey case at 4:28 PM. That's over TWO HOURS that's missing.

This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?
