Q: You said the Epstein docs are a hoax that Dems are perpetrating against Trump. You said he didn't sign that check or card. What's the theory since these docs came from Epstein estate? LEAVITT: I did not say the documents are a hoax. I said the entire narrative surrounding Epstein right now is

Sen. Alex Padilla: "If this is how this DHS responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

Elon Musk is merging xAI with X in a $33B stock deal—folding AI, social media, and user data into one empire. This isn’t innovation. It’s consolidation of power. One man now controls the feed, the algorithm, and the tools to manipulate them both.
