Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump announced a “major investigation” into individuals on “the left,” though details of the probe remain undisclosed. Trump blamed the left for the assassination, stating that those involved would be held accountable. Authorities are reviewing the visas of foreigners who celebrated Kirk’s death. The FBI has identified 22-year-old Tyler Robinson as the suspect, who allegedly held a leftist ideology that differed from his family’s political leanings.

Office of Special Counsel says it’s opened Hatch Act probe of Jack Smith, and the immediate reaction is a mixture of disbelief and a bit of dark humor. It’s hard to ignore the irony, isn’t it? The same folks who arguably turned the Hatch Act into a punchline during the Trump administration are now turning their attention to a special counsel investigating the former president. It’s like a scene straight out of a political satire.
The core issue, of course, is the Hatch Act itself. This law is designed to keep federal employees from using their positions to influence elections. It’s about maintaining a sense of impartiality and preventing the government from being overtly partisan.… Continue reading
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) is investigating former special counsel Jack Smith following allegations by former President Donald Trump and other Republicans that Smith engaged in illegal political activity during his investigations. The OSC is examining potential violations of the Hatch Act, though specific evidence of wrongdoing hasn’t been provided by Trump and his allies. The OSC, an independent agency, can recommend disciplinary actions like removal from federal service or refer findings to the Department of Justice but cannot bring criminal charges. Senator Tom Cotton requested the investigation, citing “unprecedented interference in the 2024 election.”

A 2010 video of Jeffrey Epstein invoking his Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights when questioned about socializing with Donald Trump and underage females has gone viral. This comes after reports that Trump’s name appears multiple times in Epstein files held by the Justice Department, prompting denial from the White House. The released footage and related information have added to the ongoing controversy surrounding Trump’s past connections to Epstein, including documented flights on Epstein’s private jets. Calls for further investigation and the release of documents persist, fueled by political figures and segments of the public.

President Trump directed the Justice Department to investigate Joe Biden, a move unprecedented in US history, based solely on unsubstantiated claims stemming from a past debate. This investigation, lacking evidence of wrongdoing, follows two similar investigations ordered by Trump against former officials Christopher Krebs and Miles Taylor, also without evidence of criminal activity. These actions represent a pattern of using the presidency to target political opponents, raising concerns about abuse of power and the erosion of the rule of law. The lack of public outcry risks normalizing such behavior and emboldening further abuses of presidential authority.

Elon Musk’s recent claims have apparently spurred Democrats to finally launch a probe into whether Donald Trump is implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein files. This renewed interest feels strangely belated, given the extensive public knowledge and readily available evidence suggesting Trump’s involvement.
The sheer volume of information already in the public domain—flight logs, photographs, and even lawsuits—strongly indicates a close relationship between Trump and Epstein. It’s almost as if the connection has been an open secret for years, and the current investigation feels more like a belated reaction than a groundbreaking revelation.
Many have questioned why Democrats didn’t pursue this line of inquiry earlier, especially during the four years of the Biden presidency.… Continue reading
President Trump launched an investigation into former President Biden, alleging a cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline and claiming aides made decisions on his behalf. Biden denounced the investigation as a distraction from Trump’s controversial “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which includes massive tax cuts and deep cuts to social programs like Medicaid. The investigation will focus on Biden’s use of an autopen to sign legislation, which Trump deems a major scandal. Biden vehemently denies any wrongdoing, stating he made all presidential decisions himself.

In a rare address at the Department of Justice, President Trump urged investigations into Democrats, nonprofits suing his administration, and news organizations, framing it as a mandate from his 2024 election victory. He attacked the judiciary for prosecuting him, praising loyalist appointees within the DOJ while denouncing perceived political bias in the courts and media. Trump explicitly called for a crackdown on perceived enemies, including specific individuals and organizations, claiming their actions are illegal and part of a coordinated effort to undermine him. His remarks marked a significant departure from traditional DOJ independence, with the Attorney General publicly endorsing him as “the greatest president.”

Senator Chuck Grassley’s recent launch of an inquiry into UnitedHealth Group’s Medicare billing practices has sparked considerable debate and skepticism. The timing of the inquiry, coupled with Grassley’s long tenure and political affiliations, raises questions about its genuine intent and potential outcomes.
The cynical perspective immediately points to the potential for political maneuvering. Some suggest that the inquiry serves as a smokescreen, allowing the Republican party to appear responsive to concerns about healthcare costs while subtly paving the way for deregulation or cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. This narrative emphasizes the perceived conflict of interest inherent in a politician launching an investigation into a powerful industry with a history of lobbying efforts.… Continue reading
