The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

The deal to end the government shutdown included two provisions to alleviate some of the harm suffered by federal employees.
@nicholasbednar.bsky.social explains why Congress must leverage the power of the purse to protect the federal workforce from further assaults by the Trump administration.

The deal provides some relief for federal employees but doesn’t go far enough to end the administration’s assault on the civil service.

Trump: "As far as the Epstein files, I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. I threw him out of my club many years ago because I thought he was a sick pervert. But you know who does have? Bill Clinton. Larry Summers. Andrew Weissmann I hear. It's a Democrat hoax."

We're watching a female version of Trump. A self-absorbed opportunist, of limited intelligence, but much cunning, making a play for a future that includes very high office. This is what this is. Her presidential screen test.

This is the reporter that Donald Trump called "Piggy." She is Catherine Lucey, currently with Bloomberg.
I don't think it is a coincidence that, back in 2018, Lucey was the first reporter to ask Trump about Stormy Daniels. Trump responded with a lie, but, clearly, did not forget the question.
