The controversy stems from newly released documents suggesting a closer relationship between Mandelson and Epstein than previously disclosed, including potential sharing of government information and payments. Despite apologizing and firing Mandelson, Starmer faces mounting pressure and a significant erosion of authority.

Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases, and honestly, the whole situation feels like it’s teetering on the edge of absurdity.

Sources within Donald Trump’s inner circle express concern that the GOP could be severely damaged in the 2026 midterms due to the potential expiration of healthcare subsidies tied to the government shutdown. Officials worry that if the subsidies lapse, leading to increased healthcare costs for millions, voters will blame the Republican party.

With Republicans holding a slim majority and facing historical trends of midterm losses for the ruling party, the potential for voter backlash on healthcare poses a significant threat to their control.
