Inside Speaker Johnson’s Closed-Door Meeting With Epstein Survivors
This moment in D.C. is a real inflection point. Will survivors push Republicans into a corner, forcing them to stand up for transparency? After all, who wants to be on record voting against the release of files—hiding behind claims of ‘protection’ that are just gaslighting, sweeping the truth under the rug. It’s a classic move in sexual-assault cases.

Trump Is Trying to Blackmail the Supreme Court
Donald Trump is making a last-ditch effort to salvage his beloved, beleaguered tariff policy, heading to the Supreme Court in hopes that the Republican appointees will come to his rescue. The desperation is both palpable and warranted given the conspicuous weakness of the administration’s legal arguments, as underscored by a series of lower court rulings against him. That has in turn led the president and his aides to make increasingly histrionic public claims about what will happen if the Supreme Court does not cave and side with Trump. Call it The Chicken Little Defense: If the courts do not sign off on the administration’s tariffs, it ‘would be a total disaster for the Country’ and ‘would literally destroy the United States of America,’ Trump said on Friday after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that the bulk of the president’s tariffs are illegal. He doubled down on those claims on Tuesday while tacking on the transparently ridiculous assertion that the U.S. is ‘taking in $17 trillion … because of tariffs.’

The MAGA Influencers Rehabilitating Hitler
Why does a potent portion of the American right seek to rehabilitate Hitler? The Nazi apologetics are partly an attention-seeking attempt at provocation—an effort to signal iconoclasm by transgressing one of society’s few remaining taboos. But there is more to the story than that. Carlson and his fellow travelers on the far right correctly identify the Second World War as a pivot point in America’s understanding of itself and its attitude toward its Jewish citizens. The country learned hard lessons from the Nazi Holocaust about the catastrophic consequences of conspiratorial prejudice. Today, a growing constituency on the right wants the nation to unlearn them.

White House Escalates Fight Against Offshore Wind
The White House has taken the extraordinary step of instructing a half-dozen agencies to draft plans to thwart the country’s offshore wind industry as it intensifies its governmentwide attack on a source of renewable energy that President Trump has criticized as ugly, expensive and inefficient. Agencies that typically have little to do with offshore wind power have been drawn into the effort. At the Health and Human Services Department, for instance, officials are studying whether wind turbines are emitting electromagnetic fields that could harm human health. And the Defense Department is probing whether the projects could pose risks to national security.
