A bipartisan group of former FCC officials filed a formal warning this week: the early license review targeting ABC's eight stations is designed to intimidate broadcasters, not adjudicate a legal violation. The chilling effect isn't a side consequence — it's the goal.
An ICE health agency document confirms the administration subjected at least one hunger striker in immigration detention to forced feeding, catheterization, or involuntary blood draws — practices international human rights bodies classify as torture. The document was not leaked. The agency published
Kash Patel is suing The Atlantic for reporting on his conduct as FBI director. The lawsuit's legal merits will be decided by a court. Its political function — making coverage of the FBI director expensive enough to discourage — is already working.
The Trump administration has collected more than $13 billion from Venezuelan oil sales since January. A single $300 million transfer is the only documented disbursement. Congress has no idea where the rest went — and the fund was designed to keep it that way.
More than 11,500 people across nine states have been sickened in the largest known cyclospora outbreak in U.S. history. The FDA rule designed to catch contamination like this faster was delayed by the previous administration — after produce industry lobbying.
Washington and London are planning a high-level Hormuz conference, but no Gulf state has committed to joining — and the last U.S. attempt to build a maritime coalition around Iran collapsed when allies refused to sign on.
Liz Oyer was fired for refusing to recommend restoring gun rights to Trump ally Mel Gibson. Her Senate testimony isn't just about one official — it's a documented account of how the DOJ is being rebuilt to punish independence and reward compliance.
The same GlobalX aircraft that flew Portugal's national team to Dallas on July 4th ran ICE deportation flights the day before and after — including missions that sent Venezuelans to El Salvador's Cecot mega-prison in defiance of federal court orders. FIFA has not commented.
The U.S. has recorded more measles cases in seven months of 2026 than in all of 2025. The outbreak map traces directly to states that adopted RFK Jr.'s vaccine policies — and the federal apparatus that would normally respond has been restructured by the same ideological network that produced the cri
The State Department's Cuba security report doesn't document a foreign threat — it names American activists, labor organizers, and journalists who criticized U.S. policy. That's not intelligence. It's a blacklist.
A new GAO report finds Amazon workers' use of food assistance nearly tripled as the company's profits grew by $66 billion. This is not a poverty wages story — it is a corporate subsidy story, and taxpayers are the ones writing the check.
The CLARITY Act would curb Trump's crypto self-dealing. The moderate Democrats backing it are also cashing checks from the industry they'd constrain — exposing a donor dependency that makes the party's anti-corruption posture largely ceremonial.
Pete Hegseth proposed $340 billion in Pentagon cuts in February. The plan vanished without explanation. Now he wants a 44% budget increase to WWII-era spending levels — while gutting diversity programs and leaving contractor revenue untouched.
Ulviyya Alovsat worked for a U.S.-funded outlet in one of the world's most press-hostile states. She is now in prison — and Washington has not said her name.
Residential electricity costs have risen 18 percent since January 2025 as the administration's self-imposed 18-month deadline to cut bills in half came and went. The trade war, AI datacenter expansion, and renewable energy cancellations didn't just fail to lower prices — they were structurally guara
