McConnell: ‘There’s certain similarities right now to the ‘30s’ — that’s what he’s saying, and it’s a pretty loaded statement. He’s drawing a comparison to the pre-World War II era, a time of global instability and rising authoritarianism. He’s pointing to things like the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which is widely seen as having worsened the Great Depression by hindering international trade. But, the underlying feeling here is, the world is at a precipice.
He’s also highlighting what he sees as a resurgence of isolationist sentiment, referencing the “America First” movement, which, in the context of the 1930s, was hesitant to engage in European affairs.… Continue reading

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled to reinstate Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, appointed by President Biden, after a prior attempt by former President Trump to remove her. The court determined Slaughter could only be removed under specific conditions: inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office, which were not cited in the original dismissal attempt. This case is part of a larger trend of lawsuits challenging Trump’s efforts to remove Democrat-appointed leaders from federal agencies. The ruling underscores historical efforts by Congress to protect these agencies from political interference.

During a press conference held by Jeffrey Epstein’s victims on Capitol Hill, a White House-organized flyover briefly interrupted the event. This flyover, intended to honor a fallen Polish air force pilot, coincided with the victims sharing their accounts, including survivor Chauntae Davies’ statements about Epstein’s close relationship with Donald Trump, which was a point of pride for him. As the planes performed ceremonial maneuvers, Davies was forced to pause her statements about Epstein’s friendship with Trump, who was simultaneously meeting with the President of Poland. Trump later dismissed the ongoing focus on the Epstein files as a “Democratic hoax.”

Following the August recess, the Epstein case has once again come under scrutiny with the House Oversight Committee scheduled to meet with accusers and potentially depose Maxwell. Furthermore, a bipartisan group of lawmakers plans to hold a press conference advocating for the release of Justice Department files related to Epstein, a move that could conflict with the Trump administration’s reluctance to disclose all documents. Accusers like Avis and Phillips are calling for continued investigation, and if not, they and others will release their own lists. Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in the sex trafficking, recently had transcripts of an interview released, while some accusers criticize the administration’s focus on the criminals rather than the victims.
