I don't want a forever war, a three month war, a one week war, or a one day war.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

β€œA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβ€”and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

The Wildest Frat Party on Campus? Prediction Markets Kalshi and Polymarket pour money into deals with social-media influencers and students, who try to parlay rumors, insider info into cash.

A fraternity that counts Jeff Bezos' stepson as a member under investigation for insider trading. Parties with Polymarket-branded beer pong sets. $20,000 in funding to open a prediction market club.

Here's how prediction markets are gaining ground on college campuses. www.wsj.com/business/med...

I think one of the things that bothers me the most about the way Polymarket presents itself to the world is that it's adopted the language of journalism to make itself sound more legitimate. Like look at this post from yesterday morning incorrectly "projecting" the winner.

Judge Blocks State from Enforcing Abortion Ban Against Religious Objectors A judge has handed down a ruling that prevents Indiana from enforcing its near-total abortion ban against women who say the procedure is a requirement of their religious faith.

A narrow but important win in Indiana. Cracks in abortion bans start small, then they grow.

Jon Husted is at the core of the largest corruption scandal in Ohio, and you’re paying the price on your utility bills every damn month.

States are ramping up efforts to tax the super rich

From New York to California to Washington, states are ramping up efforts to tax the super rich.

Why? Because extreme wealth concentration is making life unaffordable for everyone else.

This week’s Closer Look shows how momentum is growing across the U.S. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Were corporate executives briefed in advance on U.S. operations in Iran like they were in Venezuela?

The Trump Admin can’t answer that basic question.

Americans pay more at the pump, all while Big Oil companies profit from war.

Kristi Noem will not be missed, but don't get it twisted.

Her replacement, Senator Mullin, is the same guy who bought between $15,000 and $50,000 in stock in oil companies and a defense contractor before Trump's invasion of Venezuela.

He's just another corrupt yes-man.

05.03.2026 21:28 πŸ‘ 284 πŸ” 120 πŸ’¬ 21 πŸ“Œ 10

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.

The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.

It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

Walmart settles $100 million lawsuit with delivery drivers over pay deception β€’ SC Daily Gazette Walmart will pay $100 million to drivers who participated in its Spark Delivery program after reaching a settlement Thursday.

It's not a coincidence that a company valued at a trillion dollars also allegedly deceived its drivers about their wages. Companies worth this much do not achieve this valuation feat without exploiting their workers. scdailygazette.com/2026/02/27/w...

Republicans just OBJECTED to funding FEMA, TSA and the Coast Guard. They’re holding them hostage to extract more $$$ with no accountability for Trump’s rogue ICE/CBP operations.

No doubt now who’s responsible.

Trump sides with crypto firms in trillion-dollar battle with banks over stablecoin yield The dispute centers on whether crypto firms like Coinbase can offer yields on stablecoins, which banks warn will siphon trillions of dollars from the industry.

Follow the money

The Coinbase CEO met with Trump at the WH & hours later Trump attacked banks for opposing stablecoin yields

His family has made hundreds of millions from World Liberty Financial, which issues USD1 β€” a stablecoin that benefits directly!

Corruption in plain sight
