BREAKING:

The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.

They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

Pete Hegseth Treats Fallen American Soldiers as a PR Problem His use of the Iran war dead to attack the media was disgraceful.

Pete Hegseth, if he does not resign, should at least get out of the way and let better men than him talk to the nation and to the press.

After Renee Good was killed, career FBI agents were ordered to stand down from investigating her killing.

Why?

Kash Patel wanted to falsely spin Renee Good as a threat to law enforcement.

The DISCLOSE Act is a bill that would expose the donors trying to meddle in our elections and lead to an informed electorate.

If we want a democracy that works for the people, Congress must pass this bill.

It’s time to reveal the billionaire donors flooding American elections with potent dark money. I’m introducing the DISCLOSE Act with Senator Whitehouse and Rep. Pappas to make our money-drenched elections more transparent for all citizens.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Incredible scenes out of Tehran. March 4, the US began dropping 2000 pound bombs on the densely populated city of 9 million people. I guess we’re not trying to free the Iranians anymore. Also, the administration still says this is not a WAR.

Reminder that a president can't just "announce" a permanent new DHS secretary by fiat; Mullin still has to get confirmed by the Senate. He needs 50 senators to support him (and there's a very good chance he'll get that).

I'm sure Lewandowski, committed to the department, will remain as a close adviser to Mullin.
