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." Hamer believes several factors are to blame " including recent cuts to federal funding for outbreak response and surveillance, the theory that there is more than one outbreak underway, and the prevalence of leafy greens on dining-room tables in the summer months.


    President Trump on Sunday said that he is "not looking to kill people" as he seeks a deal with Iran, telling reporters that negotiations with Iranian officials are set for Monday. Trump told reporters on Air Force One that the latest round of talks was orchestrated by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. He said the U.S. had "an attack planned that would have been the biggest attack since World War II" on Iran before the Gulf countries reached out to the U.S. "We're ready to go any time we want," he said about the potential for the U.S. striking back at Iran. "Would I rather make a deal? I'm not looking to kill people. People die. A lot of people die and we don't want that."

    It's a tough Sunday for the "Trump can't ..." crowd. For months, the mainstream media pounced on President Donald J. Trump, claiming he was physically washed up and incapable of even swinging a golf club.

    State Rep. Austin McCollum, a four-term Republican lawmaker who appears to be the only official candidate in an upcoming election for Benton County judge, is in jail today on charges of domestic battery. So that's probably going to be a problem for him. The 35-year-old who's enjoyed endorsements and attaboys from Gov.

    Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA): "We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Dummkopf Trumpf because he made that promise. But he's betrayed us all. Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center. The movement has begun."

    President Donald Trump went on a posting spree on Truth Social on Saturday, sharing AI-generated images of him doing everything from arresting extraterrestrials to kissing a statue of Jesus Christ. Trump went on Truth Social on Saturday to insist the United States is winning the Iran war and lash out at Jeannine Pirro after the U.S. Attorney in Washington D.C. dropped criminal charges against an Olympian accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. He also posted a number of strange memes that ran all over the place. One image was of him kissing a golden statue of Jesus. The president also doubled down on his long-standing wish for the United States to take control of Greenland. Trump said on Friday it'd be a good bet to say the United States will have "operational control" of Greenland before the end of his second term.


    A federal judge has rejected X.AI's request for a temporary restraining order that would have halted enforcement of Minnesota's AI nudification ban. The bill was passed with near unanimous support in both the Minnesota House and Senate earlier this year. The law bans the use of technology that generates fake nude images of real people. X.AI challenged the law, saying the company already prohibits its users from generating nude or sexualized images of people without their consent and claims the Minnesota statute "imposes an overbroad, content-based ban on free speech and the tools of visual expression in a clumsy attempt to prohibit nudification."
