Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) ripped President Donald Trump accusing him of being still in the Epstein class in a fiery interview on ABC Sunday. Speaking with Martha Raddatz on ABC's This Week, the Kentucky Republican who has relentlessly pushed for transparency on the Epstein files slammed the president, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and the administration as a whole. Raddatz began by asking Massie to weigh in on Bondi's combativeness at Wednesday's blockbuster House Judiciary hearing.

University of Virginia board members blasted state lawmakers as "extremist" and faculty members as "out of control" in a batch of text messages published by the Washington Post.

Governor Gavin Newsom's (D-CA) notorious press office account spent 2025 repeatedly trolling Republicans, doing so in a style that unmistakably mimicked President Donald Trump's own social media playbook. From all-caps posts to meme-heavy graphics and personal taunts, @GovPressOffice leaned into provocation this year. Trump, in turn, fired back plenty of times on Truth Social, branding Newsom Newscum and incompetent for his handling of June protests against mass deportations in Los Angeles.

The other day we noticed that a sign installed by the Department of Transportation to herald the role then-President Joe Biden played in funding the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge bike lane (above) had been quietly taken down (below). We wondered if the sudden disappearance of Amtrak Joe was linked to the city's ongoing battles with President Trump over such near-and-dear transportation initiatives such as congestion pricing, bike lanes, the 34th Street busway and the Second Avenue Subway.

It's time for the Trump administration to shut down, defund & prosecute every single leftist organization, Loomer wrote on X after Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. We must shut these lunatic leftists down. Once and for all. The left is a national security threat. The staunch Trump supporter on Thursday also described having stayed up all night and pledged to expose anyone online whom she perceived to mock Kirk or celebrate the rightwing activist's murder.

The move followed Walters's false claim that the Trump administration had approved his plan to eliminate statewide end-of-year testing. On a right-wing outlet earlier this month, Walters bragged, "We went to the Trump administration and they said they were all for it," Notus reports. That wasn't true. McMahon publicly corrected him, telling reporters the waiver "has not gone through all the different steps that it needs to be." Asked whether she'd meet Walters during her visit, she shot back: "I don't believe that's on my schedule today."

"We talk about authoritarian regimes in DC. What about here on Beacon Hill? There is an authoritarian regime in the legislature on Beacon Hill right now," she said.

The anti-China rhetoric of some individual British politicians is extremely absurd, reflecting their arrogance, ignorance and twisted mindset. Such comments attack not only Jingye but all Chinese companies.
