Democrats Who Sent Message to Troops Respond to Trump’s Hanging Threat
The National Guard’s takeover of Washington was not legal, a U.S. District Court judge ruled Thursday.

Read MoreWhite House Celebrates as International Student Enrollment Plummets
The White House is so desperate to scrape together some “good news” that it’s trying to tout a decline in the number of new international students enrolling at American universities.

Read MoreDem Demands Transcript of Trump-MBS Call After Khashoggi Killing
Donald Trump’s claim Tuesday that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman “knew nothing about” the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi may be undercut by a phone call he had with the monarch.

If House Speaker Mike Johnson thought his buddy Senate Majority Leader John Thune would help hold up a measure to release the government’s files on Jeffrey Epstein, he was sorely mistaken. The House voted 427-1 in favor of the Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R.4405) Tuesday. Shortly after, Thune sounded optimistic about advancing the effort to…
