There are NEW updates in the case of the Cornell 7 as more details are revealed, including how the alleged victim stated “with 100% confidence [she] was raped”. So why did the local DA only present certain parts of her written statement? I've got the latest reporting: youtu.be/tcsZBeeJk9k?...

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

CNN is about to travel the same dark path of WaPo and CBS News. They will say it's not true. They will ask you to ignore what you see and disbelieve what you hear. Instead, I suggest you support independent media. You can start with Democracy Docket but there are many others. demdock.com/4w6emld

POLITICO exposed Vice President JD Vance as the leaker behind one of the stories the White House later cited to justify banning the outlet from White House grounds. So either they planted these stories and then used them as an excuse to ban the outlets reporting them, or it’s MAGA targeting MAGA.

TurboTax maker Intuit paid zero federal income tax on nearly $6 billion in U.S. profits in 2025. The Trump administration has helped Intuit avoid taxes with OBBBA. It also ended a popular free tax filing program with the IRS. Then Intuit's profits grew by 25%.

Macklemore can sue Robert Kraft for Tortious Interference for economic harm and I hope he does. Discovery would be fun: "Which other stadium owners did you talk to?" and "We need all related emails, text messages and contracts between you and them and you and Sheeran and Sheeran's team."
