The Rome Police Department in Georgia has announced it is investigating assassination threats made against U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and her family. The threats were received via email and initially filtered into a junk mail folder before being discovered. This comes after former President Donald Trump downplayed the severity of the threats. The pair have publicly split over policy disagreements, including the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and the government shutdown.

Recent reports indicate growing anxiety within President Trump’s circles, with advisors expressing concern that he is alienating crucial voters. Republicans are reportedly warning the White House about potential trouble for the GOP in the upcoming midterm elections. Furthermore, Trump’s focus has seemingly shifted towards the Jeffrey Epstein case, as he ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Epstein’s connections to Democrats, utilizing the Justice Department. Analyst Michael Cohen explains how the Epstein situation is impacting Trump, leading to the fracturing of the MAGA coalition and the likely impact on the midterms.

Trump says US may open talks with Venezuela’s Maduro, and that certainly raises some eyebrows. It’s hard not to notice a certain pattern here. He’s got a history of making bold statements about potential actions, and let’s just say, sometimes those words come before a more forceful response. It’s like a pre-emptive announcement, a warning shot, or maybe even a calculated play in a larger game.
The whole situation has a distinct air of a shakedown, doesn’t it? It seems almost obvious in retrospect. Like the playbook is familiar. It’s hard not to recall similar scenarios from the past. Didn’t he employ a similar strategy before… well, you get the idea.… Continue reading
President Trump has announced that any country engaging in business with Russia will face “very severely sanctioned” action, signaling the administration’s support for tough legislation targeting Moscow. This comes as Republicans are pushing legislation that includes potential sanctions on countries that conduct business with Russia, potentially including Iran. The U.S. has already implemented high tariffs, like 50% on India, as part of the broader strategy. Further legislative efforts, like the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025, propose secondary tariffs and sanctions to pressure countries supporting Russia’s actions in Ukraine.

President Trump, in a reversal of his previous stance, urged House Republicans to release the remaining Jeffrey Epstein files, stating the party had nothing to hide. This shift followed the completion of a discharge petition to force the Justice Department to release the files, and the House had previously voted on the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Trump’s change of heart comes after the House Oversight Committee released thousands of documents, and emails within those documents suggested he may have had more detailed knowledge of Epstein’s activities than previously claimed. Trump’s plea to release the files was an attempt to redirect focus toward Republican achievements.

Representative Thomas Massie has warned Republican colleagues that they may face consequences if they vote against the complete release of the Epstein files, as Trump’s protection is temporary. Massie, along with Representative Ro Khanna, has garnered enough support to force a House vote compelling the Justice Department to release all Epstein files. Massie believes Trump is protecting wealthy donors and allies, and is pushing for the full release of the documents, despite any potential political fallout. Although the House is expected to vote on the bill, there is no guarantee that it will pass through the Senate.

Massie predicts a ‘deluge’ of House Republicans will vote to release Epstein files, and the anticipation is palpable. The buzz around this potential vote is creating a wave of speculation and, to be honest, a healthy dose of skepticism. The core question everyone seems to be asking is: will a significant number of House Republicans actually defy the lingering shadow of Trump and vote to make the Epstein files public?
The phrase “deluge” itself is generating a lot of discussion. While it’s certainly attention-grabbing, some are quick to point out the semantics – that maybe a more fitting collective noun might be “a corruption of House Republicans” or even “a sludge”.… Continue reading
The Epstein Files Transparency Act, co-sponsored by Representatives Massie and Khanna, is expected to receive support from dozens of Republicans, potentially creating a rare divide from their usual alignment with President Trump. The upcoming vote is spurred by newly released Epstein documents referencing Trump, despite his denials and accusations of a Democratic “smear” campaign. Advocates, including Khanna and Massie, anticipate significant Republican backing, potentially reaching a veto-proof majority. A House vote will be held this week, which was prompted by a discharge petition.

The Trump administration has enacted a rapid shift towards right-wing authoritarianism, marked by cuts to welfare programs and increased state repression. This period has been characterized by attacks on healthcare subsidies and the rise of an expanded ICE budget, with legal permanent residents facing threats of deportation for political actions. Meanwhile, the Democratic party finds itself at a crossroads. The recent victory of democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral election demonstrates the potential for progressive success. However, the subsequent federal government shutdown, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, ended in a humiliating defeat for Democrats, highlighting divisions within the party.

The Justice Department initially posted pardons online featuring identical copies of President Trump’s signature, later replacing them after a “technical error” was identified. The original copies showed striking similarities in the president’s signature across multiple pardons dated November 7th, confirmed by forensic document experts. The administration attributed the error to staffing and technical issues, despite Trump’s history of criticizing his predecessor’s use of an autopen. Legal experts maintain that the use of a signature, whether by hand or electronic, has no bearing on the validity of the pardons, as the intention of the president is the determining factor.
