A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Jasmine Crockett: “Yesterday he said stop talking about the Epstein Files — he is the king of distraction & he knows how to get us talking about something other than the Epstein Files — is it new that he’s racist? Absolutely not — what he does care about is more of those files coming out”

I’m not sure how confident I am in a government that claims it can protect us from nuclear attacks but can’t locate an 84-year-old woman. We’re getting clearer briefings from TMZ than from the people allegedly in charge.
Uh, folks — it looks like authorities just removed a camera from the roof of Savannah Guthrie’s mom Nancy’s house/garage that they previously were not aware of.

WTF.

GOP: "Clintons MUST testify about Epstein."

Clintons: "Fine. Let's do it in public."

GOP: "No. It will be in secret but files and video will be made public."

Erm... Then do it in public then! 🤷‍♀️🤔🙄🤦‍♀️

You may recall that in January of 2025, artist Ann Telnaes announced that she had quit The Washington Post after editors killed a cartoon that depicted owner Jeff Bezos, among others, genuflecting to Trump.

This cartoon feels even more relevant this week.

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.
Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.
