DOJ Releases Interview With Woman Who Claimed Both Trump and Epstein Sexually Assaulted Her as a Minor The Justice Department released several FBI documents on Thursday describing interviews with a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her as a minor.

DOJ releases interviews with girl Trump allegedly raped after others found them and pointed out the government unlawfully withheld them.

DOJ's explanation for why they withheld the interviews? They were "duplicative."

Cluely CEO Roy Lee admits to publicly lying about revenue numbers last year | TechCrunch The $7 million in annual recurring revenue that Cluely CEO Roy Lee shared last summer was a lie, its founder and CEO Roy Lee admitted on Thursday on X.

Who could possibly have predicted that a company whose slogan is "cheat on everything" would cheat?

As Rep. Jayapal says, our reporting has found that these aren’t isolated incidents. Last October, we tallied more than 170 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents.

Here’s that investigation she’s referring to:

Trump Administration, in Apparent Reversal, Tries to Continue Fight Against Law Firms

Then again, maybe not! As with virtually everything the Trump administration does, it's hard to know whether the ineptitude will outweigh the evil in any given case

This is just the tip of the iceberg. The Court is getting ready to abolish the Voting Rights Act altogether. That is going to create havoc in redistricting

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change

This was a premeditated attack with no conceivable emergency: the choice to do this is Congress not President. Waging war on Iran is an obvious violation of the Constitution, no different than enacting tariffs (raising taxes) or defunding USAID (spending programs).

Trump is completely failing to kill renewable energy, which now accounts for more than 25% of US electric power. At most, he has caused a small increase in coal at the expense of natural gas
