WALKINSHAW: Are you familiar with the Proud Boys?

GLASHEEN: I'm familiar with the name

WALKINSHAW: Does the FBI still designate them as an extremist organization? They did during Trump's first term

Bennie Thompson on Noem: "Her arrival was short lived. She left in the middle of the hearing ostensibly to go to another meeting. We found that the meeting had been canceled, so she could've stayed. But nonetheless, we're not surprised, because this is who she is."

BREAKING: Americans died for the right to unionize. A Trump Executive Order terminated labor union protections for federal employees.

Today, for the first time, 20 House Republicans joined Democrats to nullify the executive order.

Bill Kristol of The Bulwark said this about the Venezuela boat strikes.

“This isn’t a counter-terrorism campaign. It’s a shooting gallery with helpless targets”

Hegseth won’t release the footage of the murders because he knows the American people will be outraged.

Another day where the Trump admin continued to hide the Epstein files and the second strike boat video from the American people.

ICYMI: the federal judge in Maxwell’s case is ordering the US Attorney of the SDNY to personally certify that he is in compliance with the rules and law.

That US Attorney? It’s Jay Clayton, the one who Pamela Jo has handpicked to “investigate only the Democrats” relating to Epstein.
BREAKING: The judge in Ghislaine Maxwell’s case has granted the DOJ’s motion to unseal grand jury materials.

I break down the order & explain why this judge is holding the DOJ’s feet to the fire when it comes to protecting the victims & survivors of Epstein & Maxwell.

Marjorie Taylor Greene spills on her breakup with Trump. Two words: Epstein Files.

“We talked about the Epstein files, and he was extremely angry that I signed the petition to release them.”
