Read the documents that prove Hillary Clinton OKโ€™d plan to โ€˜smearโ€™ Trump with Russia collusion Special counsel John Durham uncovered the information during a multi-year probe into intelligence activities during the 2016 election.

Pretty remarkable: The New York Post and others are currently running with a document from the (strange and fascinating) Durham Annex that the Durham Annex (a few pages later) says is a Russian fake, all in the broader interest of debunking "Russiagate" nypost.com/2025/07/31/u...

Redistricting isnโ€™t just political bullshit we can ignore โ€” it will have catastrophic consequences for Texas, the country, and our democracy.

Since Greg Abbott wonโ€™t stand up to Donald Trump, we have to show up in force to make our voices so loud they canโ€™t ignore us.

The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agencyโ€™s urban search and rescue unit has resigned, telling colleagues he was frustrated by bureaucratic hurdles the Trump administration imposed that delayed the agencyโ€™s response to deadly flooding in Texas, according to three people familiar with his reasoning.

Ken Pagurek, who worked with FEMAโ€™s search and rescue branch for more than a decade and served as chief for the past year, told associates that his concerns had been mounting since the start of hurricane season and that the administrationโ€™s changes to the agency were causing โ€œchaos.โ€

Texas State Sen. Angela Paxton (R) announced on Thursday that she has filed for divorce from her husband, Texas Attorney General and Senate candidate Ken Paxton (R) after โ€œrecent discoveries.โ€

โ€œToday, after 38 years of marriage, I filed for divorce on biblical grounds. I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation. But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage,โ€ Angela Paxton wrote on X. โ€œI move forward with complete confidence that God is always working everything together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose.โ€

Maine senators weigh Trumpโ€™s โ€˜big beautiful billโ€™ as pressure mounts for a vote Independent Sen. Angus King detailed his opposition to Trump's tax cuts and spending package on Wednesday, while Republican Sen. Susan Collins has expressed concerns about certain provisions.

"Maine's two US senators are concerned that major health care cuts included in President Trumpโ€™s budget proposal could negatively impact rural hospitals, many of which already are struggling.

But only one, Sen. Angus King, has vowed to vote against the measure"
