It's the latest in his expanding focus on autistic individuals; he has also overseen the creation of a national autism research registry and blamed parents for taking Tylenol during pregnancy." "In elevating someone who has now become essentially the most powerful person in public health in the country and who is taking a wrecking ball to public health institutions, she has done untold damage," Gavin Yamey, professor of global health at the Duke Global Health Institute, said of Nuzzi.

just now (337+ words) Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has long been an exquisite paranoiac. In November, 2017, she posted a video to Facebook. "There's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take this global cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles out," she said on the now-deleted video, adding, "I think we have the president to do it." At the same time, Trump, who Greene and many on the far right had hoped would destroy a child-rape network, seems to be one of them. "Of course he knew about the girls," wrote Epstein about Trump in an email from December 2019. Instead, they're protecting the kids. "I refuse to be a "battered wife' hoping it all goes away and gets better," Greene wrote. "Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the…...

1+ min ago (1674+ words) President Trump is constantly ignoring democratic norms and the rule of law here at home, from sending the National Guard to U.S cities to having prosecutors file charges against his political enemies. But right now, some of his most alarming, unhinged moves have a target abroad: Venezuela. The administration is making clear that it will use any means necessary, including military force, to remove longtime President Nicol's Maduro. These actions break both U.S. and international law'and those of us committed to democratic principles must strongly oppose Trump's approach.I'm not here to defend Maduro, an autocrat who almost certainly lost the 2024 presidential election there but claimed victory and stayed in power. It was the policy of the Biden administration that Maduro should not be recognized as the leader of Venezuela.But the Trump administration has gone much further than Biden, starting…...

1+ min ago (1125+ words) Can one eulogize a federal agency that never existed? The question has the quality of a Zen riddle. But Reuters'informs us'that the phantasm known as the Department of Government Efficiency, a.k.a. DOGE,'n'existe plus.That doesn't exist," Office of Personnel Management, or OPM, Director Scott Kupor told Reuters' Courney Rozen when Rozen inquired about DOGE's status.In fact, DOGE'never'existed'not as a government agency, anyway. Only Congress can create a government agency. Trump took a White House office called the'U.S. Digital Service, fired a bunch of its employees, and renamed it DOGE. It operated as part of the White House Office of Management and Budget, whose director Russell Vought (as'I explained in June) called most of the shots.For an agency that never existed, DOGE did an impressive amount of damage. It shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development, eliminating or placing…...

17+ min ago (347+ words) By Newsmax Wires "|" Tuesday, 25 November 2025 07:40 AM EST Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed to immediately appeal a federal judge's decision tossing out the Virginia criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. "We'll be taking all available legal action, including an immediate appeal, to hold Letitia James and James Comey accountable for their unlawful conduct," Bondi said Monday during a press conference in Memphis. Earlier in the day, U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie dismissed both indictments, ruling that interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan had been improperly appointed and therefore "had no lawful authority" to bring charges against two of President Donald Trump's most prominent political foes. Halligan, Trump's choice to lead the Eastern District of Virginia, has not been confirmed by the Senate. She assumed the interim role on Sept. 22 after the previous acting prosecutor, Erik…...
