VA’s New ‘Immigration Headcount’ Database: When Caring for Vets Becomes Spying on Workers
A leaked memo reveals the VA is building a sweeping internal database of every non-citizen person working for or affiliated with the agency — from full-time staff to part-time contractors, volunteers, trainees and even janitors. Under orders from VA leadership, the agency plans to submit a full report by the end of the month; some of the collected data may be shared with federal enforcement agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

RFK Jr. Puts Newborns on the Anti-Vax Chopping Block
Today, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s handpicked vaccine advisory panel is meeting to consider weakening the childhood vaccine schedule — starting with the hepatitis B shot that newborns have safely gotten within 24 hours of birth for over three decades. The RFK-stacked committee is weighing whether to scrap the universal birth-dose recommendation and limit it only to babies of mothers who test positive, despite decades of data showing the current policy helped slash hepatitis B infections in kids by about 99% and prevent deadly liver cancer later in life.
Kennedy promised he wouldn’t mess with the vaccine schedule. Then he fired the entire original CDC advisory panel, replaced them with vaccine skeptics, and is now using them to undermine one of the most successful public health programs in modern history — right as childhood vaccination rates are already slipping and measles and whooping cough are making a comeback.

Five Years Later: Pipe-Bomb Suspect Finally in Custody
After nearly five years of dead ends, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has arrested a Virginia man suspected of planting two pipe bombs outside the headquarters of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Democratic National Committee (DNC) on the night of January 5, 2021 — just hours before the Capitol riot. Investigators say the devices were viable explosives that, if detonated, could have killed or seriously injured people.
This arrest cracks open one of the most persistent mysteries of the Jan. 6 saga. For years, security footage — showing a hooded figure wearing a backpack, Nike Air Max sneakers, gloves and a mask — was all we had. Now, with a person in custody, federal investigators may finally answer the hardest question: who tried to blow up America’s most powerful political nerve centers — and why.
When a Judge Says ‘No’ — but the DOJ Says ‘Hold My Badge’
A federal appeals court just ruled that Alina Habba — a former lawyer to Donald Trump — was illegally serving as acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. But despite that clear disqualification, the U.S. Department of Justice and Habba herself are still pretending she holds the job — listing her on official DOJ pages and touting her “acting” authority.
It’s part of a broader pattern: the court also voided the appointment of Lindsey Halligan in Virginia for the same reason: bypassing Senate confirmation and stretching interim limits. Yahoo+1 Meanwhile, the DOJ seems to be shrugging — treating these illegal appointments like a game of musical chairs where rules don’t apply.

The Presidency as Payday: $1.8 Billion and Counting
According to a new tracker from Center for American Progress (CAP), the Donald J. Trump family has pulled in over $1.8 billion in cash and gifts since his 2024 reelection — a haul critics say amounts to “selling the presidency.” Much of the windfall reportedly comes from crypto ventures launched under Trump’s watch, along with stable-coin interest, membrane-coin trading, gifts (including luxury gear from foreign benefactors), and even licensing deals tied to his title as President.
To everyday Americans grappling with inflation and wage stagnation, this isn’t just staggering wealth — it’s a glaring illustration of how public office is being transformed into a pay-for-play business.
Because Nothing Says ‘Peace’ Like Donald J. Trump
In a move so on-brand it practically parodies itself, the State Department announced that the gutted U.S. Institute of Peace — which Trump effectively dismantled by executive order back in February — will now be renamed the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace. Yes, the man who threatens invasions on livestream and calls for mass deportations is now slapping his name on America’s former peace think tank like it’s another failed casino. The institution’s staff is gone, its mission hollowed out, and its budget slashed — but the branding? Oh, that survived.

When ‘Transparency’ Means ‘Hide the Donors’
Apparently “publicly funded” doesn’t mean “publicly disclosed.” While Trump touts a $300 million White House ballroom as a monument to grandeur, a growing chorus of senators is demanding answers — because some of the biggest donors (hello, major corporations and deep-pocketed insiders) are nowhere to be found on the public list. The administration insists it’s released all donor names, yet hundreds of millions could be riding on secret deals, potential influence peddling, or hush-money-style anonymity. If democracy is built on accountability, consider the foundation quietly buried beneath the glittering chandeliers.
Trump’s New Motto: ‘Crime Pays—If You’re Rich Enough.‘
Hours after the DOJ announced that Oak View Group CEO Tim Leiweke allegedly rigged the bidding process for a taxpayer-funded Texas arena, Trump swooped in with a presidential pardon — effectively erasing a federal antitrust case before it could even get moving. Leiweke was accused of cutting secret deals, manipulating competition, and stacking a public contract in his favor. But under Trump’s America, white-collar corruption isn’t a crime — it’s a résumé booster. Today’s message was loud and clear: if you defraud the public and build shiny things, Trump’s got your back.

Hegseth’s Scandals Just Hit Impeachment Level
Rep. Shri Thanedar lit a political match today, announcing he’ll introduce articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — citing the exploding Signalgate scandal and Hegseth’s alleged role in a deadly follow-up strike on a Venezuelan boat. Thanedar is accusing him of “murder, conspiracy to murder, and reckless misconduct,” and plans to unveil the charges at a D.C. rally. Democratic leaders aren’t exactly sprinting to join him, but the damage is done: Hegseth is now the first Trump Cabinet member facing formal impeachment calls less than a year in.
When Pentagon Secrets Became Group-Chat Gossip: Signalgate Blows the Roof Off Military Transparency
Signalgate isn’t just another oversight scandal — it may be the most reckless security breakdown by a U.S. defense secretary in modern history. According to insiders cited by The Allen Analysis, Pete Hegseth allegedly used a consumer messaging app to coordinate military operations, bypassing the traditional chain of command and potentially issuing “rogue orders.” What’s more, these chats reportedly included people with no clearance, no role, and no legal authority — meaning classified war-planning was essentially outsourced to a digital rumor mill. If even half of these allegations prove true, we’re not talking embarrassment. We’re talking criminal exposure for the Pentagon’s top civilian — and a full-blown national-security crisis.
Epstein Trump Pedophile Files
How Jeffrey Epstein Quietly Hijacked Silicon Valley’s Brain-Trust
Long after his 2008 conviction, Epstein didn’t just fade away — he stayed deeply embedded in the secretive social-network corridors of Silicon Valley. According to newly released files, he rubbed elbows with the tech titans behind America’s digital power grid — the same people now reshaping policy under Donald Trump. That means the very network building our AI, our crypto, and our “new tech order” was once paying respect to a convicted child sex offender — and some of those ties remain active today.
The Money Trail They Didn’t Want You to See
New revelations from 18,000 leaked emails belonging to Jeffrey Epstein show that as early as 2007, federal prosecutors in Miami and IRS investigators were tracing glaringly suspicious money-laundering tied to shell companies, offshore accounts, and major banks — funneling Epstein’s fortune through the U.S. Virgin Islands, Cyprus, Switzerland, and other hidden conduits. What started as a serious financial-crime probe reportedly got strangled — subpoenas canceled, the investigation downsized, and nearly $20 million traced transactions vanished into bureaucratic limbo once senior officials intervened.
In other words: while Epstein’s crimes against individuals got public focus, the vast financial network — the backbone of his power — was quietly buried by the very institutions tasked with exposing it.
Courts
When ‘Return Them’ Didn’t Mean Return Them
In the case J.G.G. v. Trump, the government is now arguing that even though the court ordered all class-members removed under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) be returned to the U.S., it didn’t actually have to bring back the people already flown out — because the official written order never said the government must retrace its steps. As of November 25, 2025, the defendants (the government) told the court it believes no further action is necessary. In other words: “We followed the letter of the law, but we ignored its spirit.”
Congress and Senate
Congress Says: Not Without a Vote — Stop the Venezuela War Hype
After Trump declared a land assault on Venezuela is coming “very soon,” a bipartisan group of Senators — including Tim Kaine, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff (Democrats) and Rand Paul (Republican) — filed a resolution demanding any attack be paused until Congress gives explicit approval. What they’re calling for: a “war-powers vote,” a constitutional check on unilateral presidential war-making — because launching a foreign land war while killing scores at sea, with little transparency, isn’t democracy. If they succeed, the White House may find itself forced to justify a full-blown invasion — publicly and in writing — before boots hit foreign soil.
Mike Johnson Quietly Knifes IVF Coverage
Mike Johnson’s latest “family values” move? Secretly trying to rip IVF coverage out of the defense bill — because nothing says ‘Support the Troops’ like telling military families they don’t deserve the chance to have kids. This back-room stunt guts bipartisan protections and hands extremists yet another win over basic reproductive healthcare.
