27+ min ago (364+ words) Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) is pushing back against GOP criticism of his effort to release Jeffrey Epstein files, arguing that his Republican colleagues are "obsessed" with him due to their frequent attacks. As the top-ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Garcia has helped lead the push to force the Trump administration to release all of its files on Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in 2019 awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges and was known for his close ties with powerful figures, including President Donald Trump. Garcia's efforts have thrust him into the national spotlight, and as such, have also made him a frequent target for criticism among his Republican colleagues. "He's proven to me to just be a real big drama queen!" said Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who chairs the House Oversight Committee. "He just needs to do TikTok videos…...

Natalie Greene, 26, a former aide to Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), told police and the FBI in July that she and a friend were taking a late-night hike through a nature preserve in New Jersey when three unidentified men attacked her, binding her hands and feet with zip ties. She told the cops one of the men had a gun. Greene's companion on the walk, an unnamed co-conspirator in the case, called 911. "They were attacking her" she told the operator. "They were like talking about politics and stuff. They…...

31+ min ago (234+ words) U.S. President Donald Trump delivers remarks to the American Business Forum Miami at the Kaseya Center Arena in Miami, Florida, U.S. November 5, 2025. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst When Tuesday night, November 4 arrived, Democratic strategists were on pins and needles as they awaited returns in 2025's off-year elections. And there was a lot of good news for Democrats, from double-digit victories in gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey to landslide wins in three Pennsylvania Supreme Court retention votes. Those elections were widely viewed as a referendum on Donald Trump's second presidency, giving Democrats some optimism about the 2026 midterms. Now, Democratic and GOP strategists are paying close attention to a U.S. House special election in Tennessee that will be held this Tuesday, December 2. With former Rep. Mark Green having retired from Congress, the election finds Democratic State Rep. Aftyn Behn up against Republican Matt Van Epps....

37+ min ago (315+ words) U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a breakfast with Republican Senators at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S. November 5, 2025. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque When President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into law the Social Security Act of 1935 and the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) was created, the program had its share of critics on the right. Some Republicans of the 1930s attacked Social Security as a form of "socialism," and 90 years later, those arguments persist. Tesla/SpaceX/X.com leader Elon Musk described Social Security as a "Ponzi scheme" during an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast. President Donald Trump claims to be a staunch defender of Social Security, but the Trump Administration's downsizing at the SSA is making it harder for seniors to receive benefits owed to them. Trump claims that his goal is to reduce "waste, fraud and abuse" at the SSA; liberal economists like Paul…...

41+ min ago (196+ words) A Manhattan psychotherapist claimed on Fox News Sunday that "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is a real "mental health epidemic" that's disrupting peoples' lives. The phrase, often shortened to "TDS," is used by Donald Trump and his supporters to describe anyone they think is hyper-fixated on the president's actions and ultimate demise. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert told Peter Doocy on The Sunday Briefing that, although TDS is not a recognized diagnosis by the American Psychiatric Association, "I am deeply, deeply concerned about what I've been seeing'for almost 10 years now." Alpert explained what he saw as the difference between Trump critics and those who despised former President Joe Biden. Alpert said that Trump "dominates probably about three-quarters of the sessions" he has with patients, and his approach is to help them to understand "what's fact and what isn't." "If you think that Trump is…...

48+ min ago (512+ words) Using current economic trends to predict the future can be misleading, since all trends are subject to limits and countertrends. In this article, I'll apply that truism to a trend that a lot of people are talking about'soaring electricity prices in the United States. A bursting AI bubble could at least temporarily halt electricity price increases tied to new data centers. But it might be a dreadful "solution," especially for people who are neither wealthy nor politically connected. More Electricity Demand? Just Increase Supply! The obvious solution to rising electricity prices is to meet new demand with new supply. Just generate more power. What energy sources are available for that purpose? None of those supply solutions seems ideal. Moreover, before we try to choose a candidate and say, "Problem solved," it's essential that we examine limits and countertrends that could…...

1+ hour, 2+ min ago (308+ words) Pete Hegseth just admitted to murder and is heading toward executing a massive mission that one ex-GOP insider says will "end in ruin." Steve Schmidt, an independent political strategist who worked on former President George W. Bush's campaign, on Sunday published a piece called, "Kill them all" is a confession to murder under American law, in which he discusses how the "United States of America stands at the edge of war against Venezuela." "However, anyone betting on these people to do their duty at this point is a fool waiting to be separated from their money. For the optimist, the best I can do is say 'Trust, but verify.' I say this based on precedent. If Trump favors invading a nation of 28.4 million without a strategy, plan or any debate under utterly incompetent leadership after dividing the nation, MAGA is for…...
