The Department of Justice just held a closed-door meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell inside a Florida prison. Grand jury records tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s past legal entanglements are suddenly making headlines again. And President Trump’s name—of course—found its way into the conversation, though notably without any criminal accusation or evidence. The American people, who’ve been crying…

In a major 6–3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court gave President Trump the green light to move forward with a massive layoff of 1,400 employees at the Department of Education, about 40% of its staff.

Selling the Soil: Should America Trade Her Public Lands for Profit?
House Republicans have introduced a new proposal tucked into a broader energy package—one that would authorize the sale of over 350,000 acres of public land in Nevada and Utah.
