Goldman Sachs General Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler Resigns Over Epstein Ties Kathryn Ruemmler, a former top Obama administration lawyer, is out at Goldman Sachs after emails showed she had a friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, the sex offender, spanning many years.

Breaking News: Goldman Sachs’s top lawyer, Kathryn Ruemmler, resigned after her extensive relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was revealed.

"Previous estimates showed the US economy generated 584,000 jobs in 2025, the first year of Trump’s second term, which was deeply discouraging.

Now, the picture is far worse: The newly revised, final data shows that the U.S. economy actually added only 181,000 jobs..."

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

Susan Collins was a more reliable vote for GOP in 2017 than any other year | CNN Politics Maine Sen. Susan Collins has built a reputation as a maverick. She burnished those credentials by being one of three Republicans to vote against the Republican health care plan (that sought to replace...

Here's an example of the headlines we saw after Susan Collins sided with Trump 87% of the time in 2017.

But in 2025 she clocked in almost 10% higher -- voting with Trump more often than with any president in any previous year in her career!

Time to retire the moderate/centrism canard. #MEpolitics

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.

Suburban observers say ICE has only been more aggressive since Homan: “I think they’re getting angry that we’re winning and the country is rallying around us. We’re so organized and we act with such integrity. They don’t want to admit they feel threatened by us.”

I’ve been up til 2… 3… 4 o’clock in the morning more times in the last three months than I have been in the last decade. I feel like I’m having sleep regression brought on by the constant feeling of doom I’m experiencing.

Walz demands DHS stop detaining Minnesota children In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Walz demanded details about how many Minnesota kids are in detention facilities.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

SCOOP: More federal prosecutors in Minnesota have resigned or are preparing to, in part because the administration has asked them to file charges against protesters without appropriate evidence, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

GOP STUNNED: Democrat Flips Reliably Republican Texas State Senate Seat Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a special election for the Texas state Senate on Saturday, flipping a reliably Republican district that President Donald Trump won by 17 points in 2024.

And quietly the tide begins to turn.... Keep the faith because surely a reckoning is coming.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Feds arrest 4, including Don Lemon and Minnesota journalist over church protest Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards, his attorney, Abbe Lowell, said in a statement posted on social media.

Arresting journalists for doing their job is a chilling abuse of power—and an assault on the very idea of a free press.

The Admin is clearly trying to intimidate the media from documenting their lawlessness.

Two different courts refused to greenlight charges. That’s how absurd the DOJ’s case is.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Trump brags about John Deere stock making his rich friends richer while the company laid off over a hundred Iowans last year because of his tariffs. Farmers can’t sell crops and can’t afford new equipment, but he’s still clapping for the billionaires.

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Warning: video is hard to watch

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.

Gregory Bovino must also be fired.

No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
