President Donald Trump voiced outrage after a new report alleged 274 FBI agents in plainclothes were embedded within the crowd during the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Speaking out publicly, Trump accused former FBI Director Christopher Wray of “misleading” the American people and called for a full investigation into the bureau’s actions. The Justice Department’s Inspector General previously concluded there was no evidence undercover FBI operatives instigated the riot, though the report did acknowledge the presence of 26 confidential human sources. In response, House Republicans announced plans for a new subcommittee to examine the FBI’s role on January 6 and…

Formerly known as Joanne Chesimard, Assata Shakur passed away in Havana, Cuba, where she was granted political refuge. Cuban officials and her daughter announced her death, citing advanced age and health issues. As a member of the Black Liberation Army in the 1970s, Shakur initially gained national notice.

Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson is demanding answers after her son’s high school aired segments on its morning news show promoting “Bisexual Plus Awareness Week.” The school’s student-run program defined “non-monosexual identities” as including bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer, and omnisexual orientations—attracting national backlash. Hinson called the content “so bad and inappropriate” and said she declined to post it on social media. She questioned how administrators approved the segment, why parents weren’t informed, and whether the content was age-appropriate for minors. In a letter to the U.S. Department of Education and collaboration with Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, Hinson requested a formal investigation…
Following the arrest of Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a flurry of internet responses sprang out. According to authorities, Roberts, who is Guyanese by heritage, had a pending deportation order issued in May 2024 and was living in the United States without legal status.

President Donald Trump announced Saturday morning that he will send U.S. troops to Portland, Oregon, in response to ongoing anti-ICE protests—authorizing their use of “full force, if necessary” to safeguard federal immigration facilities. On social media, Trump said his directive to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth comes at the request of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, citing threats from Antifa and “other domestic terrorists” targeting ICE sites. Portland’s local leaders pushed back fast. Mayor Keith Wilson said no federal units are needed—“the number of necessary troops is zero.” Meanwhile, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek called the deployment unconstitutional and unnecessary, noting…
The Obama Foundation has deposited just $1 million into a reserve fund originally projected at $470 million, latest filings reveal. The fund was a condition for turning over control of 19.3 acres in Jackson Park to the Foundation. Yet, despite years passing and rising project costs, the promised endowment remains nearly untouched. Costs for the presidential center have surged—from an initial estimate of $330 million to over $850 million—and the Foundation now carries hundreds of millions in outstanding construction obligations. Meanwhile, about $116.5 million in cash remained at the end of 2024, down from previous levels. Critics warn that without…
The indictment of former FBI Director James Comey has stirred a fierce reaction from both political sides, with allies denouncing it as retaliation and critics welcoming it as accountability. Democrats and civil liberties groups warn the charges may threaten norms around public officials and congressional testimony, invoking concerns about weaponizing justice for political ends. On the other hand, Republicans and Trump allies say the case confirms long-standing claims that Comey abused his power, arguing it’s overdue that he face consequences for his actions during the Russia probe. Legal analysts caution the real battle lies in court: the indictment may survive…

A trove of messages between ex-New York financier Howard Rubin and his former personal assistant revealed graphic celebratory content about harming women, according to newly released court filings. The transcripts include remarks describing acts of violence and cruelty, accompanied by laughter and encouragement. The communications span several months and were exchanged via text and private messaging apps. Prosecutors allege that the assistant played a role in facilitating Rubin’s actions, while the messages themselves serve as key evidence in an ongoing federal investigation. Defense lawyers have yet to respond publicly, but authorities say the messaging content dramatically deepens the case and…
Representative Brian Waltz condemned the technical and logistical failures during President Trump’s United Nations speech as an embarrassment and pledged to push for funding restrictions and reform. Waltz criticized the malfunctioning escalator and broken teleprompter, stating that they undermined the dignity of the presidency and U.S. leverage on the world stage. He called the events wholly avoidable with better planning. As a response, Waltz vowed to back legislation freezing U.S. funds to segments of the U.N. until internal restructuring is enforced. He also suggested audits of U.N. infrastructure to prevent future high-profile blunders. The remarks come amid broader tensions over…
On a recent trip aboard Marine One, an apparent exchange between President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania caught the attention of a lip-reading analyst who interpreted her finger-waving motion as admonishing words. The aircraft had just taken off when Melania appeared to wag her finger in Trump’s direction, triggering speculation among observers. The interpreter suggested she may have been sternly telling him to “stay focused” or “keep moving,” though the exact phrasing remains uncertain. Trump, seated beside her, did not visibly respond immediately, maintaining a neutral expression as the gesture unfolded. The moment was captured by on-board cameras and…
President Donald Trump reacted to the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey by declaring it had placed a cloud over the entire country. He said the case represents the lingering damage of what he has long described as politically motivated investigations. Trump connected the indictment to the fallout from “Crossfire Hurricane,” the FBI probe into his 2016 campaign, arguing that Comey’s actions during that time undermined trust in the justice system. He insisted the charges validate his claims that political bias drove federal investigations. The president also framed the prosecution as a step toward accountability, emphasizing that no official…

They also contain notes about a proposed trip by Musk to Epstein’s private island in 2014, though there’s no record confirming the visit occurred. While the documents reveal connections via scheduling and logistics, they do not allege wrongdoing by either Musk or Andrew. The public release expands scrutiny into Epstein’s network of contacts. House Oversight Democrats say more files are…
Vice President J.D. Vance addressed the controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension and the reinstatement of Erika Kirk, striking a balance between personal admiration and political defense.
