Following a Christmas greeting to “radical left scum,” the former president extended the sentiment to those associated with Jeffrey Epstein, claiming he distanced himself from the financier before allegations surfaced. He framed the release of the “Epstein files” as a “witch hunt” orchestrated by Democrats and a Republican, predicting it would primarily implicate Democrats. Trump also criticized the media for what he described as a conspiracy with Democrats to damage his reputation, and issued a warning to those potentially implicated by the files’ release.

Faced with escalating threats and intimidation, numerous federal judges have adapted their lives, often spurred by rulings against the Trump administration and subsequent harsh criticism.

A group of Republican representatives, including Rep. Mike Lawler and Jen Kiggans, are now backing legislation to include nursing in the list of professional degrees eligible for higher funding. Despite the Education Department claiming most nursing students would not be affected, nursing organizations and advocates argue the move disregards the critical need for qualified nurses and contradicts the department’s own definitions.
