WASHINGTON (AP) " President Donald Trump said House Republicans should vote to release the files in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a startling reversal after previously fighting the proposal as a growing number of those in his own party supported it. "We have nothing to hide, and it's time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party," Trump wrote on social media late Sunday after landing at Joint Base Andrews following a weekend in Florida.

Community cohesion refers to the strength of relationships and solidarity among community members. In everyday life, it's about community members having a sense of trust and belonging and believing that neighbors will show up for one another. This study asked rural Americans how they experience their communities across seven different dimensions of cohesion, including feelings of support and connection and openness to diverse perspectives.

A nervous-looking Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to CNN Sunday for her first interview since her falling out with President Donald Trump and strongly suggested that the Israeli government may be "pushing to keep" files on Jeffrey Epstein "covered up."
Greene was asked by CNN's Dana Bash about a social media post she had shared on Saturday in which she alleged that lobbying from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, was the reason Trump had attacked her, and openly questioned "what country is putting so much pressure on him."
"I think it's a question that many Americans are asking, especially when we saw information recently come out in these emails that the Oversight Committee " that I serve on " has released," Greene said.

Some ultra-conservative Republicans have veered so far to the right that they are starting to eat their own. MAGA conspiracy theorists have frequently claimed that athletes and celebrities are secretly trans, but now they are transvestigating Charlie Kirk and his widow, Erika Kirk.
D/CSIS Dan Rogers used his annual threats speech to warn that hostile services are simultaneously recruiting Canadians, routing Canadian technology into Russia's war machine, plotting lethal attacks on critics of Iran and exploiting Canadian data held under foreign laws. He also flagged a sharp rise in youth involvement in terrorism investigations and a steady drumbeat of extremist violence since 2014. Russia is depicted as using Canada primarily as a hi-tech supply base to feed its war in Ukraine. European-based front companies approach Canadian firms to acquire sensitive goods which were tied to Russian agents. Once Canadian products reach Russia, they are "used to support Russian military efforts in Ukraine and elsewhere." Since 2014, Canada has suffered 20 violent extremist attacks that killed 29 people and created at least 60 victims in total. Over just the past three years, CSIS has disrupted 24 violent extremist actions. Read more
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the hate crime convictions of three white men who chased Ahmaud Arbery through their Georgia subdivision with pickup trucks before one of them killed the running Black man with a shotgun. A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals took well over a year to rule after attorneys for the defendants urged the judges in March 2024 to overturn the case, arguing the men's history of racist text messages and social media posts failed to prove they targeted Arbery because of his race. Federal prosecutors used those posts and messages in 2022 to persuade a jury that Arbery's killing was motivated by "pent-up racial anger."
