Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said in a letter to the White House that the military has "exceeded" the parameters of President Donald Trump's orders in striking alleged drug-smuggling vessels as a part of its counternarcotics operation. Kaine, who wrote to Trump that he had reviewed a so-called "execute order" signed by the president, which includes targeting criteria for the boat strikes, said the strikes on vessels in the Pacific and Caribbean, which began last September, have likely "killed individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking."

A Jeffrey Epstein-linked French modeling scout who was discovered dead at his home last month was quietly operating an anonymous online account devoted to praising President Donald Trump, according to two researchers who say they traced the account back to him " a finding they called "unbelievable." "I know that sounds unbelievable. So let's walk through it," reads a report published Saturday co-authored by Princeton University associate professor Katie Chenoweth and writer Bekah Day.

Pam Bondi sold as much as $5.5 million in Trump Media securities on April 2, 2025, and hours later Trump announced the tariffs that sank the stock she had just left. This is what open-air insider trading looks like, and insider trading, in case you didn't know, is very illegal, a felony carrying up to twenty years per count. The ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee referred it for investigation. We know why the federal government did nothing: Bondi ran the department that would have investigated her. The question this piece asks is why, fourteen months later, no New York prosecutor has opened a case.

The biggest-ever cyclospora outbreak in the U.S. still shows no signs of slowing down. Michigan has now recorded 10,077 cases, and at least 160 people have been hospitalized. The state, which usually only has about 50 cases a year, was the first to publicly identify iceberg lettuce as the possible culprit spreading Cyclospora cayetanensis, the parasite that causes watery diarrhea or other gastrointestinal issues associated with cyclosporiasis. "Past outbreaks have generally been smaller, and the source has been identified faster."
