DOJ 'caught red-handed' hiding Trump sex abuse allegations: lawmaker

By Matthew Chapman
Published March 6, 2026 8:01 PM ET

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) had nothing but scorn for the Justice Department on MS NOW's "The Weeknight" on Friday, after they finally were pressured into releasing the FBI interviews of a woman who claimed, albeit with no evidence, that President Donald Trump sexually abused her when she was a teenager.

"Congressman, it's good to have you back with us," said anchor Michael Steele. "Two-part question for you. The first part: Are you really buying the line that's coming out that, 'Oh, I'm sorry, this was a review error'. It's like, 'Oh, I'm sorry, we moved the decimal point one too far, one place too far in your bank account,' right? And so it's now all zeroed out. No, no, no process tells us this is what you should have done. Process tells us because we have paper from the courts that says this is what you should do. And from the Congress it says what you should do. So don't come up with the error."

"So do you believe that, number one, and number two, the 302s themselves, and what we're learning from that, help contextualize what they're saying and how what they're saying matters right now," he continued.

Mike Johnson Somehow Insists We Aren't At War With Iran

Jebus J should tell that to Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth

By John Amato — March 6, 2026

The worst Speaker of the House in modern history, Rep Mike Johnson told the media today that the United States is not at war with Iran, even after multiple Republicans, Donald Trump, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth have repeatedly said we are.

Johnson made the statements after the House voted against passing the Iran War Powers resolution.

"As you know, the War Powers Resolution failed; that is the right result," Johnson said. "We are not at war. We have no intention of being at war."

Postal Service Running Out Of Money. Bug Or Feature?

The Postal Service always seems to be shortchanged during a GOP administration.


By Susie Madrak — March 6, 2026
The U.S. Postal Service runs out of cash within a year unless Congress lifts a decades-old cap and allows the agency to borrow more money, the new postmaster general said. If it not, the Postal Service might not be able to pay its employees or vendors by February 2027, with potentially dire consequences for mail delivery, Postmaster General David Steiner told The Associated Press.

“How long are employees going to work and vendors going to show up if we’re not paying them?” Steiner said.

The postmaster general will testify before Congress later this month about the USPS's financial struggles and the need to change longstanding rules and regulations that he considers burdensome. He singled out the $15 billion cap on borrowing that has been in place since 1990.

The Postal Service is an independent agency, funded mostly through postage revenue and the services it provides. Steiner said it has all the burdens of a government agency, such as having to deliver mail six days a week to every address, but none of the benefits, such as an annual appropriation from the federal budget.

Trump accused of violent sexual assault in bombshell missing Epstein file interview

By Tom Boggioni
Published March 6, 2026 8:04 AM ET

“Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be.”

According to an interview with a woman conducted by the FBI as part of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, those were some of the first words Donald Trump directed at her before he began a sexual assault that ended with Trump reportedly hitting her and pulling her hair.

Overshadowed by Thursday's firing of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, the Department of Justice quietly released previously missing FBI interviews with an Epstein victim whose explosive allegations have sent shockwaves through Washington.

Trump drops panicked plea for GOP to pass voter suppression 'at the expense of everything'

By Matthew Chapman
Published March 5, 2026 10:13A M ET

President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account on Thursday to demand that Republicans pass his now-stalled legislation to put heavy new restrictions on the right to vote.

"The Republicans MUST DO, with PASSION, and at the expense of everything else, THE SAVE AMERICA ACT - And not the watered down version," wrote Trump. "This is a Country Defining fight for the Soul of our Nation!"

Among other things, the SAVE America Act would require strict photo ID in every state, add cumbersome extra steps to vote by mail, require proof of citizenship documents to register to vote, and require all state voter rolls to be verified by an infamously unreliable Department of Homeland Security system that routinely flags citizens as noncitizens by mistake.

GOP senator claims he was 'de-escalating' as video catches him injuring anti-war Marine

By Daniel Hampton
Published March 4, 2026 5:36 PM ET

A Senate Republican claimed he was attempting to "de-escalate" after video emerged of him helping police forcefully remove an anti-war Marine during a mid-hearing scuffle, leading to audible gasps as the man appeared to be injured.

Bystanders accused Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) of breaking the hand of Marine veteran and anti-war activist Brian McGinnis during a break in a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday. McGinnis put his hand in a doorway to prevent Capitol Police from removing him from the room.

Video recorded by another anti-war activist showed Sheehy getting in on the melee, grabbing McGinnis and attempting to force him through the doorway.

'God awful!' Trump's 'hideous' ballroom greeted with explosion of negative public comments

By Nicole Charky-Chami
Published March 4, 2026 7:27 PM ET

Americans have had a lot to say ever since President Donald Trump knocked down the White House's historic East Wing to make way for his ballroom. It turns out that the people have spoken — and they're pretty unhappy with the president's plans.

The Swamp, the Daily Beast's Substack, reviewed 32,000 public comments submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission ahead of the design meeting slated for tomorrow at the commission’s D.C. headquarters. The more than 9,000 pages reveal a common theme, with an overwhelming number of people urging the planning commission to stop the ballroom construction. They instead call for rebuilding the East Wing.

"But the president’s home is also the People’s House—and the people don’t like Trump’s plan to turn it into Dance-a-Lago," The Swamp reported.
