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.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

What I’ve learned so far about owning an ID.4 — VW dealers were not prepared for the myriad of repairs and recalls needed, and service centers weren’t staffed with enough EV techs to handle the problems.

We finally got a Virginia Supreme Court ruling!

Confirmation redistricting referendum is happening

Early voting starts this Friday

Essentially a shadow docket ruling and not on final merits

But highest court in Virginia will let voters go to the polls

BREAKING: The Virginia Supreme Court is allowing a April 21 referendum on congressional redistricting to move forward. Justices did NOT rule on whether the process was legal, so challenges will continue. They say courts shouldn’t stop elections before they happen.

Here's a Jan. 6 rioter posing with a press pass before Pete Hegseth's press conference, just to give you a sense of the type of "journalists" who were in the Pentagon briefing room this morning.

trump is calling for banning congressional stock trading, but he leaves out the key detail: the reason there's a standstill right now is democrats want it to apply to trump and the white house, but trump issued a veto threat over that.
