The guillotine is paused. On Tuesday, a federal judge in Boston threw a temporary wrench into the Trump administration’s aggressive push to strip work permits from tens of thousands of asylum seekers and immigrants living under Temporary Protected Status. U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton, a George H.W. Bush appointee, sided with a coalition of labor […]

Eleven nights. Eleven straight nights of American bombs falling on Iran. The Pentagon called a temporary halt late Tuesday after a 75-minute blitz. According to Central Command, the targets were predictable: command centers, drone depots, hangars, and logistics hubs. The official line? Protecting the Strait of Hormuz. Washington claims Tehran has harassed over 30 commercial […]

Jeffrey Epstein is dead. His secrets are not. Now, House Democrats want to know if the convicted sex offender was moonlighting as an unregistered foreign agent. Representative Jamie Raskin is leading the charge. He is demanding records from the Justice Department, the State Department, and the intelligence community. It is a long shot. With Republicans […]

The feds are squeezing Harvard again. This time, the Justice Department is sniffing around the Ivy League’s bank accounts to see if wealthy Chinese donors are funding exclusive scholarships that shut out American kids. It is the latest punch in the Trump administration’s ongoing brawl with Cambridge. Justice officials dropped the news Monday. They claim […]

The feds love a good cover-up, or at least a very convenient distraction.

Washington is a theater of the absurd. Speaker Mike Johnson just pulled off a classic legislative sleight of hand, keeping Donald Trump’s pet election bill alive. The Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act was dead in the water, choked out by Senate Democrats. So, Johnson changed the rules of the game. On Monday night, his […]

Donald Trump has a new target. It is the guidebook federal judges use to parse complex science. On Sunday, the former president took to Truth Social, demanding a formal review of the Federal Judicial Center’s reference manual, arguing that the text relies on “discredited” information that has cost the country dearly. He wants a probe. […]

Donald Trump is cracking the whip again. He wants House Republicans to fall in line. The prize? The SAVE America Act. The cost? Another $95 billion added to a terrifying $39.5 trillion national debt. Speaker Mike Johnson is playing a dangerous game of legislative gymnastics. He is trying to shove the election integrity bill through […]

The meat grinder is spinning faster. Early Monday, American warplanes lit up the Iranian night sky yet again, a direct response to another flag draped over a coffin. Meanwhile, Iranian missiles screamed toward Jordan, threatening to drag Israel headfirst into a regional bonfire that nobody seems able—or willing—to put out. We are on the cusp […]
