Investigations into president and corruption charges will get heavy scrutiny if Democrats win majority in midtermsDonald Trump’s presidency is facing investigations and corruption charges from a key House Democrat and ex-prosecutors, involving political and personal abuses of power, which legal experts predict will get heavy scrutiny if Democrats win the House majority in the midterms.Legal critics call the scandals dogging the president “target rich” for investigations that Democrats will have a “field day” investigating if they win the House majority. Critics cite, for instance, Trump’s damaging the rule of law by weaponizing the Department of Justice (DoJ) to exact revenge on political foes and protect himself from federal investigations, plus Trump moves to profit in radical ways from his presidency with lucrative and new cryptocurrency ventures.

Director Kash Patel's FBI has ordered every field office to immediately send analysts to support its investigation into the 2020 election in Georgia, according to a new report.MS NOW obtained an unclassified memo showing Patel is mobilizing 260 intelligence analysts — from every field office in the country — as part of what the bureau calls a "priority effort" in Atlanta."In support of the Director's Office priority effort, the Directorate of Intelligence (DI) and Criminal Division are requesting all FBI field offices to immediately surge support to an FBI Atlanta priority investigation," the memo said.Each analyst must complete 708 records checks by July 17, MS NOW said."Overtime (including weekends and holidays) has been authorized," the memo added."Looking for derogatory information is the short answer," one official told MS NOW. "The idea is to build a case. Look at associations between people, look into their social media, their business activity, travel, contact with other investigative subjects."In January, Patel's FBI raided the Fulton County Elections and Operations Hub, seizing more than 600 boxes of records. The warrant relied largely on claims previously debunked by Republican-led investigations in Georgia. Then-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accompanied the FBI during the search and arranged for President Donald Trump to speak by phone with agents on-site.The Department of Justice issued subpoenas in April for the personal information of thousands of 2020 election workers in the state. The FBI has also targeted 2020 records in Arizona and Wisconsin. Patel predicted arrests in April, though none have come.Democratic Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts said the county has been targeted for years because it rejected Trump's "big lie" that the 2020 election was stolen."These ongoing efforts are about intimidation and distraction, not facts," Pitts said.Former President Joe Biden beat Trump in Georgia in 2020 by 11,779 votes. Trump has long pushed for ongoing investigations into his loss to Biden.
Republican leadership in the House is calling on President Donald Trump to allow for the expiration of the Jones Act waiver later this summer in order to protect the U.S. maritime industry. The waiver, which has been in place since March, has permitted refiners to use foreign-flagged ships to transport fuel between U.S. ports. The […]
Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans in the US House of Representatives are asking President Donald Trump to allow a waiver of a century-old shipping law granted in March to tame fuel prices to expire.
The European Investment Bank will provide an unprecedented €3 billion ($3.4 billion) loan to Airbus SE as the European Union pushes ahead with plans to bolster its technological sovereignty amid intensifying competition from the US and China.
The number one complaint I hear from liberals is that Democrats “aren’t doing anything” to push back against the illegitimate Trump regime. I understand why they might feel that way, but it also bugs me when people complain without offering solutions.We’ve needed a dedicated Democratic Press Secretary out there every day since January 2025 to tell the truth about what’s going on in our government, or to tout their accomplishments amid the most insane political environment in modern history. Since we STILL don’t have one, we have to do our part to keep the truth at the top of the news cycle. Everyone should be hammering the worst VP of our lifetime, JD “Vladimir Futon” Vance. There are plenty of failures to ask him about, but I’m mostly focusing on that secret Situation Room meeting where they discussed covering up the Epstein Files to protect Trump when they should be bringing justice to the victims and survivors. As my Senator, Ron “Chutzpah” Wyden (D-OR), told me after a Juneteenth press conference in Portland last week, Democrats don’t need to wait to get our majority back to hold Trump and his remaining loyalists accountable. And he wasn’t just blowing smoke, my friends.While he and other Senate Democrats prepare for his mid-July confirmation hearings, Acting Attorney General Todd “Trumpsimp” Blanche is now facing serious charges for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act.You can thank an unelected Democrat, lawyer Katie Phang, for this. Katie deserves all the praise for her tireless work on exposing everyone involved in the Epstein cover-up scandal. Congressional Democrats are doing all they can while the GOP clings to its razor-thin majority in both chambers. A major Blue Wave is predicted for November, with a solid chance of a Democratic sweep to literally clean House (and Senate). Once the new Congress is sworn in, you can expect A LOT of accountability. Impeachment for Trump and his co-conspirators is absolutely on the table in the wake of the endless Epstein Files scandal, among other crimes committed by Trump and his cronies. That’s why Trump is scrambling to privatize the Postal Service and ban mail-in voting. Republicans know they can’t legitimately win enough elections, so they’re doing the same preventative kinds of cheating they tried in 2020. What we’re seeing now is what they planned to do in 2021, but they failed thanks to so many of us voting by mail from our locked-down homes. Democrats are hip to their ways by now, and Oregon, where we’ve been voting by mail since the mid-90s, is leading the national fight for our voting rights. Trump’s loss in 2020 is why January 6th happened, which Democrats know all too well. We’ll have plenty of work to do starting in January 2027, starting with impeachment and bringing all of Trump’s loyalists to justice. Democrats running for office this year need only use the visuals from the “America 250” celebrations as a reminder of what Trump has done to DC. His vandalism of our landmarks was all part of his plan to weaken us on the global stage, and instead, he’s the one who looks even weaker.But that doesn’t mean Democrats can’t accomplish anything right now. Elsewhere, Democrats are demanding accountability for the deliberate destruction of the government agencies that are meant to take care of Americans, not make things worse for us. Democrats continue to push back against NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who’s happily making Americans vulnerable to airborne diseases or a chemical attack from a foreign enemy. I’m especially looking forward to his Nuremberg-esque trial once a Democrat is back in the White House. But let’s get back to what we’re doing this week.Democrats are laser-focused on exposing Trump’s dismantling of the Department of Education. This was a major part of the Project 2025/2026 plan; re-educating America’s whitest kids to become an obedient army of Christian drones so they could begin implementing their Final Solution. Therefore, Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), who happens to be my Congressperson, took major action and stood on the House floor on Thursday to introduce Articles of Impeachment against Education Secretary Linda “Pile Driver” McMahon. Trump put The Wrestling Lady in charge of educating America’s next generations because she donated a bunch of money to his campaign, and also because both of them are greedy traitors who don’t care about anyone but themselves.Democrats deliver on their promises despite the obstruction from Trump’s compromised co-conspirators. “I got involved in politics as a mom advocating for public education, and it’s what led to my run for public office,” Rep. Bonamici told me via email. “Congress created the Department of Education and gave the Department the responsibility to administer programs, including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and to enforce the civil rights of students through the Office of Civil Rights.
