Trump’s Russia Strategy Now Includes Dismantling the Team That Actually Fought Kremlin Propaganda
In a plot twist that would make 1980s Cold War bureaucrats spit out their Folgers, a senior Trump State Department staffer widely reported to have Kremlin-friendly views and personal ties to Russian political elites helped blow up the U.S. government’s own Russian disinformation office — raising eyebrows inside the department about whether this is foreign policy or cosplay — all while the rest of Washington pretends this isn’t peak “what could go wrong?” diplomacy.
Russia Plants More Hypersonic Missiles in Belarus — Because Nothing Says ‘Peace Talks’ Like Nuclear-Capable Hardware
Belarusian strongman Alexander Lukashenko just announced that Russia’s new hypersonic Oreshnik missile system — capable of carrying nuclear or conventional warheads and reportedly too fast for a lot of defenses — has been stationed in Belarus and put on combat duty. The deployment shrinks the distance to NATO borders and sharpens the global sense that this “war-ending peace process” is actually more war escalation.

Katie Miller Turns Cartoon Into ‘Far-Left Terror’ and Somehow It’s About Violence
Katie Miller — wife of Stephen Miller and former Trump administration spokesperson — had a meltdown over a cartoon caricature of her husband and declared it “left-wing terror,” saying the illustration was meant to incite violence. The whole thing rapidly became another MAGA meltdown cycle on social media, with her claims of threats and inflammatory language sounding way more dramatic than the actual cartoon.

Bondi’s FBI Bounty Blitz: Turning Trans Rights into a Wanted Poster
In what must be the most dystopian memo of the year, Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi has quietly directed the FBI to start offering cash bounties for tips on “radical gender ideology” activists she wants labeled as domestic terrorists — effectively turning support for trans rights into something you’d see on a Wild West wanted poster and drawing condemnation from civil liberties groups who say this is a transparent political witch hunt, not serious law enforcement.
DOJ’s “Speed Redaction Olympics”: 1,000+ Pages a Week, Zero Time for Clarity
Just in time for the grand finale of bureaucratic panic, the Justice Department claims to be sprinting toward a Friday deadline to dump thousands of pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents—only the sprint feels more like a frantic shuffle as lawyers juggle unclear redaction rules, 1,000-plus pages each since Thanksgiving, and the very real risk of slicing out too much or too little while trying to protect privacy. This spectacle of rushed redactions underscores how transparency abruptly became a government sport—just don’t ask anyone if they read the rulebook before starting the race.
Trump DOJ Keeps Slipping on the Courtroom Banana Peel
Trump’s Justice Department is face-planting so hard judges are starting to ask if anyone’s actually in charge. Arrests without probable cause, cases tossed en masse, and a 21% dismissal rate have turned the DOJ into a legal clown car — and the courts are no longer pretending this is normal.

HHS Announces Sweeping Crackdown on Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth — Federal Funding at Risk
The Department of Health and Human Services just dropped a new plan aimed at gutting access to gender-affirming healthcare for minors by restricting nearly all federal support for these treatments. The proposed rules would bar Medicaid from reimbursing gender-affirming care for anyone under 18 and block federal funding for hospitals that provide pediatric gender-affirming treatments. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared that such procedures “do not meet professionally recognized standards,” a claim that instantly set off alarm bells among medical experts and trans rights advocates.
This move is clearly riding the wave of Republican momentum in the House, where lawmakers have been pushing bills to criminalize gender-affirming care for youth and stop Medicaid coverage. If finalized, the rules could make it extremely difficult for trans youth to access even basic care, given how many hospitals depend on federal funds. Critics — from doctors to LGBTQ+ advocates — warn that this isn’t just hostile policy, it’s a health threat to vulnerable kids.

Warrior Dividend Bonus: Because Slapping “Bonus” on Subsidies Makes Them Warmer
In the latest installment of rebrand, don’t solve, the Trump administration has decided that a long-standing congressionally approved troop housing subsidy wasn’t catchy enough, so it’s now the “Warrior Dividend Bonus”—a title that sounds like a startup loyalty program but does nothing to address longstanding quality-of-life issues for service members and their families, underscoring the classic playbook of style over substance while actual housing shortages and support gaps go unaddressed.
Trump Announces ‘Patriot Games’ for 2026 — Internet Jokes It’s the ‘Hunger Games’ IRL
Trump unveiled a new national sporting event called the “Patriot Games,” a four-day athletic competition next fall featuring one young man and one young woman from every state and territory as part of the 250th anniversary festivities — and you guessed it, the internet immediately started calling it a real-life Hunger Games (minus the killing, hopefully). Critics had fun with the parallels and the culture-war rhetoric sprinkled into the announcement.
Weed Is No Longer Heroin (According to the Feds): Trump Quietly Reschedules Marijuana
Trump just signed an EO to tell federal agencies to fast-track rescheduling marijuana out of the same federal category as heroin and LSD, moving it toward Schedule III — a big win for medical research and cannabis businesses, but still not full legalization. So yes, weed is less villainous now, but you can still get federal trouble for non-medical use.
Trump’s Board “Unanimously” Renames Kennedy Center While Democracy Is Muted
President Trump’s handpicked board at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has now voted to slather his name onto a federal memorial — rebranding it the “Trump-Kennedy Center.” The White House trumpeted a unanimous vote, but members of the board (like Rep. Joyce Beatty) say they were literally muted during the call and never allowed to oppose it. Even JFK’s own family and legal experts point out that the Center was established by Congress as a memorial to JFK and can’t legally be renamed without an act of Congress. Critics are calling it political vandalism on a historic arts institution.

Judge Tells ICE “No More Hide-and-Seek” — Congress Can Drop In on Detention Camps Anytime
A judge just yanked ICE’s warning label off the door. Congress can now show up unannounced, meaning no more seven-day notice to hide the mold, shuffle detainees, or pretend everything’s “fine.” Oversight is back, and ICE is mad about it.

Florida’s First “Official Groyper” Candidate Is Barely Functional IRL but Full-Throttled Online
Meet James Fishback: a Florida GOP candidate who skipped dog whistles and went straight to hugging the groyper crowd. He’s running on white-nationalist meme politics, online clout chasing, and a résumé held together with vibes and litigation, proving once again that the modern right will run literally anyone as long as they’re loud, racist, and terminally online.

David Brooks: Epstein Dinner Guest, Then Media Guru Who Said the Whole Thing’s Overblown
Just as House Democrats dropped a fresh batch of Epstein estate photos showing New York Times columnist David Brooks at a 2011 event attended by the disgraced financier—a detail Brooks didn’t think worth mentioning while publicly dismissing interest in the Epstein saga—critics are pointing out the delicious timing and awkward optics of a pundit who critiqued the “Epstein obsession” turning up in the very documents he urged everyone to shrug off; sure, there’s no evidence of wrongdoing, but showing up at the same billionaire dinner after Epstein’s first conviction and then acting like the public focus is overblown looks, well, rich.
Epstein Files Drop, Times Revisits “Dress Sexy at Mar-a-Lago” Allegations Like It’s a Social Calendar
As the long-delayed Epstein files start trickling into public view under legal pressure this week, The New York Times dredged up some eyebrow-raising party lore — including claims a 14-year-old model was told to “dress sexy” at a Mar-a-Lago bash with open bars and zero ID checks, and that Donald Trump’s insistence on a “no formal relationship” with Epstein has about as much consistency as cotton candy in the rain — proving that even if the DOJ’s dump is slow and redacted, the narratives it revives are already doing the heavy lifting.
Epstein’s Brother Turns the White House’s Spin Into Swiss Cheese
Mark Epstein, brother of the late Jeffrey Epstein, just handed the White House’s “Trump never set foot in Epstein’s office” claim a reality check so brutal it belongs in a demolition derby: he told The New York Times the then-businessman was in Epstein’s New York office “all the time,” directly contradicting the administration’s spin and dredging up eerie memories from Epstein era staff about disturbing behavior and locker-room chatter — all while the White House shrieks “fake news” like it’s a courtroom drama without any evidence.
Epstein’s Retro Spy Plot Twist: From Iran-Contra Arms Planes to Lingerie Logistics
In a narrative that reads like a scrapped espionage novel, Drop Site News reports that while The New York Times fusses over Jeffrey Epstein’s early business deals, a deeper thread connects him with figures tied to the 1980s Iran-Contra scandal and former CIA-linked planes—aircraft once used to ship embargoed weapons that Epstein allegedly helped relocate to Ohio for Leslie Wexner’s fashion logistics—raising questions the mainstream paper glossed over about intelligence ties, covert arms networks, and the bizarre trajectory from government smuggling to shipping lingerie.
Epstein Photo Dump: Congress Drops Pics, Everyone Says “Move Along”
House Democrats on the Oversight Committee have unleashed a batch of photographs from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate — and spoiler alert: they include lots of powerful men smiling beside Epstein or showing up at his events. Photos show President Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Steve Bannon, Woody Allen, Bill Gates, and others in social settings with Epstein. The pictures come from a massive trove — 95,000 images — that Congress says it’s still reviewing and plans to release more of. The House Dems claim this helps transparency ahead of a legal deadline for the Justice Department to finish releasing Epstein-related files. Republicans and the White House are already calling the releases “cherry-picked” and a political stunt. Trump himself insists the photos are “no big deal” because Epstein allegedly took pictures of “everybody.”

TikTok Finally “Sells Out” to U.S. Investors After Years of U.S. Threatening to Ban It
After years of political theater, legal threats, and Supreme Court drama, TikTok and its China-based parent ByteDance have finally agreed to sell TikTok’s U.S. operations to a consortium of mostly American investors. The deal hands half the company to these investors — including Oracle and Silver Lake — while ByteDance still clings to a chunk of ownership. This move is supposed to keep the app alive in the U.S. by giving politicians what they called “U.S. control” while avoiding an outright ban.

Epstein Justice is a nonprofit organization led by investigative journalist Nick Bryant, who first unearthed Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous “black book” and flight logs and now channels that work into a campaign to expose and prosecute Epstein’s traffickers and those in power who shielded them. The group mobilizes the public with webinars, pressure-campaign trainings, legislative outreach tools, and petitions urging Congress to establish a formal commission to investigate the full scope of Epstein’s network and institutional cover-ups. They describe their mission as forcing transparency, accountability, and justice for victims rather than letting powerful enablers slip into the shadows, and they list a volunteer team and board supporting that effort.
