More liberals, people of color and LGBTQ Americans say they're buying guns out of fear The image of gun ownership in America has been white, rural and Republican, but that's been changing as more liberals and minorities have been buying guns, especially after the 2024 election.

It’s fascinating how quickly the cultural picture of gun ownership is shifting. When more diverse groups arm up, the old political narratives stop fitting so neatly.

At Trump's urging, Bondi says U.S. will investigate Epstein's ties to political foes Acceding to President Donald Trump's demands, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Friday that she has ordered a top federal prosecutor to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Trump political foes.

Interesting timing. Investigations shouldn’t be directed based on who someone’s “political foes” are. That’s not how justice is supposed to work

It’s fascinating how often she breaks from the usual Supreme Court “customs.” Makes you wonder if the Court needs more of that independence.

Now that’s suspicious activity! 🤣
I definitely want to hear how this turns out, don’t leave me hanging! Can you follow back so we can chat?

When you remember you’re cute and chaotic, hahaha

I love seeing those old painted barns. They’re little pieces of history still hanging on. Amazing how a simple ad can take you right back to childhood.

She’s definitely a Darling! Those eyelashes give her more personality than half the cars on the road. 😂

Keep an eye on him, last time he was “shopping,” half the decorations mysteriously disappeared! 😉

This raises some serious questions about transparency. Can the committee explain how this fits within their ethics guidelines?

At some point we have to ask: who exactly benefits from these so-called compromises? Because it’s clearly not the constituents they keep mentioning.

Sounds like a perfect way to enjoy the day. Nothing beats a good ride before the weather turns. How far did you go?

Analysis | State Department deleted records about risk of inadvertent nuclear war Key historical records about the incident during the Reagan administration, known as the Able Archer 83 War Scare, were removed without explanation.

Analysis: The Post found that documents recounting President Ronald Reagan’s relations with the Soviet Union in the early 1980s, one of the most dangerous periods of the Cold War, have been removed.

The State Department had deleted history.

That era was one of the tensest moments in U.S.–Soviet relations. Deleting documents doesn’t just hide history, it makes it impossible to learn from it.

Attacking a federal district judge as an “activist” for issuing a lawful ruling is an assault on judicial independence. A democracy cannot function when executive agencies denigrate judges for doing their jobs.

This is the real issue: once judges are attacked for doing their jobs, what stops the next branch from ignoring the law altogether? Where’s the line?

The Nevada Supreme Court handed a victory to Democratic state prosecutors who charged the state’s pro-Trump “fake electors” from 2020.

That’s a pretty big ruling. Curious to see how this shapes future cases about election interference.

Orbán Touts Trump Ties—Claims U.S. Will Help If Hungarian Currency Comes Under ‘Speculative Attack’ Orbán, who met with Trump last week, has claimed he has secured a “financial shield” from the U.S. government as he prepares to boost spending ahead of next year’s elections.

Orbán, who met with Trump last week, has claimed he has secured a “financial shield” from the U.S. government as he prepares to boost spending ahead of next year’s elections.

Interesting claim… but why would the U.S. government be providing a “financial shield” for another country’s election season? That raises more questions than answers.

Megyn Kelly slammed for questioning if Jeffrey Epstein was really a pedophile

Not sure why this is even up for debate. Epstein’s history is well-documented. Curious what angle she thought she was trying to make here.

The DOJ has been firing judges with immigrant defense backgrounds NPR's data analysis shows that the DOJ has tended to fire judges with immigrant defense backgrounds in its recent rounds of dismissals.

NPR's data analysis shows that the DOJ has tended to fire judges with immigrant defense backgrounds in its recent rounds of dismissals.

That’s a troubling pattern if true. Makes you wonder what message the DOJ is sending about diversity in experience.

That’s really sweet of you to say. Let’s chat more privately, I’d love to hear about your pup too.

Glad she wasn’t bothered! Do fireworks usually freak her out?

Sounds interesting, what was the main takeaway from his interview?

Mother Nature showing off again 😍 Love seeing native flora like this! Did you spot many others in bloom?

“Classic ‘I definitely didn’t just launch something’ face 😂. He’s such an hateful old asshole, very heartless.
