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. read more

We wrote this to help you imagine how quickly a city can change under Trump ...
Charlotte was once a place of slow, easy mornings, coffee cups clinking in cozy cafs, jazz drifting through open doors on Tryon Street, families stepping onto the light rail with strollers and soccer bags. A city defined by banking towers and craft breweries, where weekends were measured by Panthers touchdowns, farmers' markets, and late-night debates about who served the best barbecue in town.
By this weekend, that rhythm collapsed.
Before sunrise, unmarked SUVs slid through quiet neighborhoods, and ICE agents moved in like a storm front. Residents described officers sprinting through parking lots, jumping fences behind small bakeries and mercados. Some said they watched people shoved to the ground, grocery bags splitting apart, oranges rolling into traffic, voices shaking as shouts ricocheted between brick storefronts.
A caf known for empanadas and music stayed shuttered, its metal grate pulled tight. A handwritten note hung on the door: Closed for the safety of our community. Just down the street, a weekend lunch spot told customers online: Too dangerous today. Please stay home.
Parents kept children inside. Workers who normally clocked in before dawn called their bosses in fear. City bus drivers said they saw makeshift checkpoints near major intersections, where people waited in silence, shoulders tense, eyes fixed on the ground.
The city that once celebrated diversity through food trucks, cultural parades, and church festivals found itself breathing differently doors locked, windows dark, conversations hushed. Neighbors said it didn't feel like protection; it felt like punishment. Not order, but intimidation.
Operations were no longer about safety, but about fear, fear that reached families, workers, business owners, and even those with the legal right to be here. And in the quiet between sirens, the city wondered what it was becoming.
