They voted to release the Epstein files. It cost them their jobs

In November, four Republicans broke with their party to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. And as of yesterday, three of the four are out of a job. Nancy Mace is an enthusiastic Donald Trump supporter but drew his ire when she voted to release the Epstein files. AP Nancy Mace, a conservative firebrand and supporter for sexual assault victims, faced a crushing defeat in her bid to become the next governor of South Carolina. The congresswoman came in fifth place in the gubernatorial primary. Because she ran for governor instead of re-election, she’ll be out of Congress next year. Mace was clear in her concession that her push to release the Epstein files cost her the support she needed. “As a survivor, I chose to stand on principle and stan...

Donald Trump manipulating markets with Iran war claims, says senator

A top US senator has levelled a remarkable accusation against Donald Trump. Yesterday the US president declared he would resume strikes against Iran, causing markets to drop around the world. But Hawaii Democrat Brian Schatz was suspicious. Donald Trump's comments on Iran have fluctuating wildly on a day-by-day basis. AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin “I think the war hasn’t really stopped. I think he tries to manipulate markets, to say that a deal is imminent,” the senator said. “And there’s no real evidence that a deal is imminent.” And hours after declaring an attack on Iran was imminent, Trump overnight backed down. “Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and appr...

Donald Trump loses Iran war resolution vote in stinging rebuke

Donald Trump could be forced to withdraw from the Iran war after a crucial vote in the US House of Representatives.

His latest apparent nap came days after his Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied ever seeing the president sleeping...

Former US President Joe Biden has sued the federal government to block the release of interviews with his memoir's ghostwriter, which he has described as "private information" but could contain embarrassing details about his memory. Special Counsel Robert Hur obtained the recordings and transcripts while investigating Biden's handling of classified documents. Hur found Biden improperly retained records, but he did not recommend charges. His report, released in 2024, also raised questions about Biden's fitness for office. The justice department has accused the prior administration of trying to "hide audio recordings that clearly demonstrate a significant decline" in Biden'...
