A former inspector general who fast-tracked a “whistleblower” complaint that led to the first impeachment of President Trump in 2019 knew the whistleblower was a registered Democrat and Joe Biden loyalist yet still determined his complaint was "a matter of urgent concern that appeared credible," according to newly declassified documents.
The documents also reveal the anonymous whistleblower secretly met with the Democratic staff of former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff prior to submitting his complaint in August 2019.
Yet under direct questioning, the whistleblower – later identified by RealClearInvestigations as intelligence analyst Eric Ciaramella – failed to disclose those contacts in interviews with IG investigators or on whistleblower forms,

California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer defended transgender athletes competing in high school sports in a podcast posted on Sunday, arguing that excluding transgendered youth from athletics would worsen the emotional and mental health struggles many already face.
"I’m totally in favor of trans athletes in high school," Steyer told "I've Had It" podcast host Jennifer Welch.
"When you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid, and you understand almost half of them try to commit suicide, then you think, 'We’re gonna punish those kids, we’re gonna cut them off from team sport.' It’s like, no we’re not."

Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press to promote his character and principled superiority to all other congressional representatives, the professional political narcissist, Thomas Massie, pledges to create as much turmoil as possible in his final seven months. Video and Transcript Below: (snip)REP. THOMAS MASSIE: Well, I was the author of the first War Powers Resolution to get us out of Iran. My constituents are hurting. Gas is almost $5 a gallon.(snip) . We don’t know what the terms of it are, but if Lindsay Graham and Ted Cruz are crashing out last night, I’d say it’s probably a pretty good deal.

Socialist political YouTuber Hasan Piker has been subpoenaed by the Trump administration's Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control over trips he's made to Cuba alongside CodePink's Susan Medea Benjamin, who was also issued a subpoena. The issue at hand is whether or not these groups violated US law by "supporting Cuba's communist regime," Fox News Digital reports.
Piker and others, including Rep. Ilhan Omar's daughter Isra Hirsi, traveled to Cuba in March in support of the regime amid sanctions and embargoes from the United States against the communist power. The move was part of an international outcry by leftist activists following the United States indictment and ouster of Venezuelan leader

It was an induced hallucination, happily shared by a crowd of professional journalists, and a useful reminder of Gavin Newsom’s tendency to swagger like a winner on the lightest of pretexts.
Back in February, the California governor spoke to the media in a crowded railyard, posing in front of a long line of freight cars and the piles of construction materials they had just delivered while he bragged about the extraordinary new progress the state was making toward a functioning high-speed rail system.

Multiple reports have indicated that U.S. negotiators believe that Iran has committed to giving up its nuclear ambitions and its highly enriched uranium as a part of a broader peace deal with President Donald Trump.
On Saturday afternoon, President Trump announced that an “agreement has been largely negotiated” between Washington and Tehran. However, Mr Trump said that the final details of the deal were still being discussed and would not be made public at the time.
According to a report from the New York Times, citing “two U.S. officials”, the Islamist regime in Iran verbally agreed to U.S. negotiators that it would give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.

When Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin uses the term “Nazi” he does so with a perspective that is not the same as western considerations. Ukraine is well known for their ideological blood lust, the events within this story are related to that definition.Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ordered the targeting of a college dormitory in Starobilsk, Luhansk, an occupied territory under the control of Russian forces.
This was not a military target. Yana Lantratova, Russia’s human rights commissioner, said that 86 teenagers aged 14 to 18 had been asleep inside the hostel belonging to Luhansk Pedagogical University’s Starobilsk college when Ukrainian drones had attacked it during the night.

Democrat Barney Frank has died. Before we get into this story, you should know…
(snip) Frank was directly tied to a disturbing political scandal in the 1980s. It was a scandal involving a male escort operation run out of his home by a man with deep connections to a bigger network involving underage boys, political protection, and organized exploitation in the Swamp.
That’s what Barney Frank got caught up in.
But unlike conservatives who get politically executed over much less, Barney Frank survived it all… and actually thrived.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark—Bea Ferdinandsen Kaas held up her phone. The traditional Greenlandic tattoos on her fingers fanned out around the image of a child: her granddaughter.
She’s fighting to be able to raise the young girl, who she says was taken from her daughter by the police and a social worker soon after her birth in early 2025.
(smip)
She choked up. Kaas—far from the granddaughter she loves—(snip).
In 2025, Denmark eliminated a controversial parenting competency test for Greenlanders in Denmark. Greenlanders had long complained that the standardized test was culturally biased, causing too many of them to lose their children to foster care.
