Tuesday on MSNBC’s “All In,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta said a federal judge ruled President Donald Trump illegally deployed National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles because the Posse Comitatus Act prohibited the military from engaging in domestic law enforcement. Bonta said, “We are very gratified by the order. It reflected the arguments that we made to the court, the material facts that we relied on. And it was a thoughtful, well-reasoned, thorough order going through the law and the facts as stated right out of the mouths of the federal administration witnesses themselves. This wasn’t a he said,…
The GOP-controlled House has released the first tranche of documents in its investigation into convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein — a move intended to quash the mounting calls for answers around why the Justice Department allowed Epstein to continue to prey on victims for decades. The trove of materials, however, is unlikely to satisfy those clamoring for more and new information about the case. This batch, subpoenaed by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, contains almost exclusively information that has already been released publicly; Oversight Committee Democrats say that, based on their initial review of 33,000…

The headlines have lately been filled with stories of rising tension between the U.S. and India, sparked by President Donald Trump’s tariffs and his insistence on India cutting back its purchases of Russian oil, but Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal was upbeat on Tuesday about the prospects of signing a trade deal by November. Goyal told an investor conference in Mumbai that all of India’s trade negotiations are going well, including “very active and significant progress” on a free trade agreement with the European Union. He said other agreements with nations like Oman, Chile, and Peru were in an “advanced…
Keeping track of the “primary residences” of Lisa Cook, who Joe Biden appointed as Federal Reserve Governor in 2022, is even more complicated than keeping track of all the estates owned by socialist U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Cook was fired by President Trump for “cause” last month, and ever since, Democrats and their corporate media allies have rallied to her side. Cook is even suing to keep her job. There is just one problem: Neither Cook not her attorneys nor the media can get around the fact that Cook received lower mortgage rates with documented false claims on mortgage applications.…
ICE officers have slashed the cross-border smuggling of migrant children and youths by arresting the U.S.-based illegal migrants who fund the smuggling, often with wages from U.S. jobs. The Associated Press (AP) reported on September 2 that the illegal migrant parents of smuggled children have been arrested when they try to pick up children from government shelters: Neha Desai, managing director of human rights at the National Center for Youth Law, said the change provides U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement a “built-in opportunity” to arrest parents — something she said has already happened. The arrests are deterring migrants from using the…

At Kennedy’s appearance before the Senate Finance Committee, which was first reported by POLITICO, Thune said that the secretary needs to “restore public trust” after Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez was fired and other top CDC officials quickly resigned. “I would say that, you know, because somebody’s supportive or in favor of vaccines is not disqualifying for that job, so I…
The desperate search for a “Russian footprint” in the murder of Ukrainian politician Andrey Parubiy is a symptom of terminal self-delusion Power and truth are not natural allies. Indeed, every person and institution – be it a government, a company, a university, or a “think tank” – tends to lie more as they become more powerful. And those who stay weak – have no illusions – must lie, too. Otherwise they’d get trampled even worse by the powerful. The truth may well set us free, as Christ told us. But then, hardly anyone is free in this world.Yet there are…
