- ['Guys, You Cannot be Adjusting His Light': Studio Chaos Derails Kash Patel on Fox News](https://dailyboulder.com/guys-you-cannot-be-adjusting-his-light-studio-chaos-derails-kash-patel-on-fox-news/): FBI Director Kash Patel’s appearance on Fox News Monday was intended to showcase the Trump administration’s arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, but the segment instead highlighted organizational and operational disarray. Patel’s interview began with immediate disruption. Before he could speak, a voice appeared over the feed, resembling radio chatter, shouting: “Guys, you cannot be adjusting his light!” The visible lighting on Patel also fluctuated during the segment, creating a jarring visual effect that further distracted from his statements about the U.S.-coordinated operation against Maduro. Despite the interruptions, Patel continued discussing the Venezuelan operation, which involved coordination with the U.S. […]
- [Trump’s Reckless China Rhetoric Risks U.S. Global Standing](https://dailyboulder.com/trumps-reckless-china-rhetoric-risks-u-s-global-standing/): Donald Trump’s approach to China remains erratic and politically motivated, raising concerns about U.S. credibility internationally. Recent statements from the president demonstrate a willingness to blend personal political objectives with foreign policy rhetoric, leaving allies and adversaries uncertain of the U.S. position on trade, military, and diplomatic matters. Trump has repeatedly framed China as both a threat and a political cudgel, making statements designed more to energize his base than to clarify U.S. policy. According to reporting, he has alternately praised and criticized Chinese leadership depending on his own political objectives. This approach complicates diplomacy and signals unpredictability to U.S. […]
- [Trump Unleashes Insomnia-Fueled Fury on Truth Social With 89 Posts in an Hour](https://dailyboulder.com/trump-unleashes-insomnia-fueled-fury-on-truth-social-with-89-posts-in-an-hour/): In the early hours of January 5, Donald Trump ran a midnight marathon on Truth Social, unleashing nearly 100 posts filled with self-reposts, unverified attacks, and bizarre geopolitical commentary. Trump’s latest Truth Social rampage reads like a fever dream in bullet points. He recycled his own posts, shared screen recordings, and reposted political commentary — including wildly unverified attacks on Rep. Ilhan Omar. Trump amplified a post from Mila Joy claiming Omar engaged in “money laundering, racketeering, bribery, kickbacks, conspiracy, campaign finance abuse, defrauding investors and employees… (Not to mention immigration fraud for marrying her brother.) Lock her up then […]
- [Trump Backpedals on Putin Residence Attack After Backing Russia Claim: 'I Don't Believe it Happened'](https://dailyboulder.com/trump-backpedals-on-putin-residence-attack-after-backing-russia-claim-i-dont-believe-it-happened/): Donald Trump has walked back his own reaction to Russia’s claim that Ukraine tried to hit Vladimir Putin’s residence, marking a sharp reversal just days after he said the alleged attack made him “very angry”. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force ‍One on Sunday, Trump downplayed the incident, saying US officials saw no evidence that Putin’s home had been deliberately targeted. According to Trump, while “something happened nearby”, it didn’t amount to the kind of strike Moscow had described. “I don’t believe that strike happened,” he said, directly contradicting both earlier Russian statements and his own previous reaction. The shift […]
- [Tim Walz Drops Out:  Minnesota Governor to Exit Race as Klobuchar Weighs Run](https://dailyboulder.com/tim-walz-drops-out-minnesota-governor-to-exit-race-as-klobuchar-weighs-run/): Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is preparing to step aside from the governor’s race, a move that jolts the state’s political landscape and opens the door to a high-profile shakeup at the top of the Democratic ticket. Citing two people directly familiar with the governor’s thinking, Politico reports that Walz will formally bow out on Monday. The decision comes after a pivotal meeting on Sunday between Walz and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), who is weighing a run of her own. The conversation focused on the future of the campaign and the path forward for Minnesota Democrats, according to one person familiar […]
- [NYT Details What Triggered Trump’s Venezuela Strike as He Threatens Colombia, Mexico, and Greenland](https://dailyboulder.com/nyt-details-what-triggered-trumps-venezuela-strike-as-he-threatens-colombia-mexico-and-greenland/): President Donald Trump is not backing off. If anything, he’s escalating. Days after the United States launched a strike on Venezuela and forcibly removed President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, Trump used the confines of Air Force One to widen the blast radius—this time aiming at Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, and even Greenland. Colombia was first in the crosshairs. Asked about the country, Trump didn’t mince words, calling it “very sick,” and saying it was “run by a sick man, who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States.” When a reporter followed up by asking whether […]
- [‘We’re Going to Get the Oil Flowing’: Trump Says U.S. and Oil Companies Will Run Venezuela After Maduro Capture](https://dailyboulder.com/were-going-to-get-the-oil-flowing-trump-says-u-s-and-oil-companies-will-run-venezuela-after-maduro-capture/): President Donald Trump didn’t bother easing into it. Standing at Mar-a-Lago just hours after U.S. forces removed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from power, Trump said the United States—alongside American oil companies—will run Venezuela and take control of the country’s oil. “We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago. “We don’t want to be involved with having somebody else get in and have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years.” The comments came just hours after […]
- [Trump Says 'Something Is Going To Have To Be Done With Mexico' Following Venezuela Attack](https://dailyboulder.com/trump-says-something-is-going-to-have-to-be-done-with-mexico-following-venezuela-attack/): President Donald Trump isn’t backing off his hardline rhetoric following the United States’ Saturday strikes on Venezuela. Instead, he’s widening the scope. In an interview on “Fox & Friends,” Trump said that “something is going to have to be done with Mexico,” a remark that immediately raised eyebrows given the timing. The comments came just hours after the U.S. launched military strikes on Venezuela, a move that has already sent shockwaves across the region. When asked directly whether the attack was meant to send a message to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Trump denied it. “It wasn’t meant to be,” he […]
- [Rudy Giuliani Faceplants as Mic Dies, Screens Glitch Mid-Interview](https://dailyboulder.com/rudy-giuliani-faceplants-as-mic-dies-screens-glitch-mid-interview/): Rudy Giuliani used to sell himself as the guy who ran the room. This week, he couldn’t run a microphone. At a pro-Trump event meant to project confidence and momentum, Giuliani’s appearance disintegrated into a live demo of dysfunction. Audio failed. Screens glitched. Cues went missing. The former New York mayor looked stranded onstage—annoyed, confused, and visibly behind the moment. The tech problems didn’t interrupt the event. They became the event. Unsurprisingly, the internet went wild. One user wondered if Giuliani was “drunk,” while another nailed it: “Rudy’s tech skills are about as reliable as his legal advice—now accidentally starring […]
- [MAGA Media Self-Own: Pro-Trump Reporter Busted for Paying Participants to Manufacture Outrage](https://dailyboulder.com/maga-media-self-own-pro-trump-reporter-busted-for-paying-participants-to-manufacture-outrage/): The MAGA media machine has a new folk hero—and the backstory is ugly. The pro-Trump YouTuber now being boosted by conservative elites for a viral video alleging massive welfare fraud has a documented habit of paying people to stage political theater. That’s not journalism. It’s content farming with a budget. According to The Daily Beast, Nick Shirley, a 23-year-old influencer with no formal journalism background, previously paid Hispanic laborers to participate in a protest he filmed outside the White House in a stunt framed as spontaneous outrage in support of President Joe Biden. They were paid $20 each. The camera […]
- [Stephen Miller’s Wife Is Pregnant — and Suddenly Everyone’s Asking About Elon Musk](https://dailyboulder.com/stephen-millers-wife-is-pregnant-and-suddenly-everyones-asking-about-elon-musk/): Katie Miller’s New Year’s Eve pregnancy announcement was supposed to be personal. It wasn’t. Within hours, social media had transformed it into fodder for speculation about her former boss, Elon Musk. Miller, 34, revealed she and her husband, Stephen Miller—the White House deputy chief of staff notorious for crafting hardline immigration policy—are expecting their fourth child. She shared a red-carpet photo from President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve party, cradling her bump, captioned simply: “Happy New Year.” The reveal immediately reignited long-running rumors about Miller’s employment history and her professional proximity to the billionaire CEO. As noted by The Daily […]
- [Jim Jordan's Committee Isn’t Overseeing Anything — It's There to Protect Trump](https://dailyboulder.com/jim-jordans-committee-isnt-overseeing-anything-its-there-to-protect-trump/): Rep. Jim Jordan loves to call himself a watchdog. In practice, he’s closer to a human shield — specifically for Donald Trump and anyone else on the Republican right who might face consequences. Jordan’s latest antics make that impossible to ignore. According to Raw Story, the Ohio Republican is once again abusing congressional oversight powers to attack investigations he doesn’t like while ignoring misconduct he doesn’t want to see. Oversight for Me, Immunity for My Friends Jordan chairs the powerful House Judiciary Committee. That role comes with responsibility. Instead, he’s turned it into a grievance factory aimed at law enforcement, […]
- ['Locked and Loaded': Trump Threatens War With Iran Without a Plan as Protests Intensify](https://dailyboulder.com/locked-and-loaded-trump-threatens-war-with-iran-without-a-plan-as-protests-intensify/): President Donald Trump has warned Iran that the United States is “locked and loaded” and ready to intervene if Tehran violently suppresses protests. “Locked and Loaded” Without a Plan On Friday, Trump posted on Truth Social that if Iran “shots and violently kills peaceful protesters,” the United States would come to their rescue, adding “We are locked and loaded and ready to go.” He didn’t outline specific support mechanisms, define what “rescue” means, or present any plan that doesn’t sound drawn from a Cold War action movie script. It’s the kind of language that can stoke escalation without clarity on […]
- [Premium Shock: Health Insurance Just Got More Expensive — Republicans Did It](https://dailyboulder.com/premium-shock-health-insurance-just-got-more-expensive-republicans-did-it/): Millions of Americans just opened health insurance notices that felt like a gut punch. Premiums are up. Coverage is thinner. Subsidies are gone. And congressional Republicans are acting like this was some kind of unforeseeable event instead of a policy choice with a calendar reminder. This didn’t “happen.” It was allowed. The spike is not subtle. As noted by HuffPost, health care costs surged after pandemic-era subsidies expired, hitting middle- and working-class families hardest. For many, monthly premiums jumped by hundreds of dollars overnight. This wasn’t buried in fine print. Advocates warned about it for years. Republicans knew exactly when […]
- [Trump Tried to Project Strength. It Was All Smoke — and He Looked Weak](https://dailyboulder.com/trump-tried-to-project-strength-it-was-all-smoke-and-he-looked-weak/): Donald Trump sat down for a friendly interview with the Wall Street Journal and tried to sell himself as a picture of strength. What came out instead was confusion, contradictions, and a cascade of half-answers that only sharpened long-standing concerns about his health — physical, cognitive, and otherwise. This wasn’t an opposition hit. It was Trump talking. And it did more damage than any attack ad. In the interview, Trump insisted he’s “in very good health,” brushing off repeated questions about medical transparency with the same dismissive bravado he’s relied on for years. He declined to commit to releasing full […]
- [Mamdani Just Tore the Mask of the Political Establishment: 'I Will Not Abandon My Principles'](https://dailyboulder.com/mamdani-just-tore-the-mask-of-the-political-establishment-i-will-not-abandon-my-principles/): New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stepped onto the stage and did the one thing the city’s donor class fears most: he told the truth, clearly, without apology. No pivot. No “working families” vagueness. No performative moderation. Just a progressive mayor delivering the inaugural address that doubled down on the exact agenda that drove him to victory. The reaction from New York’s political establishment was instant and telling. They heard the speech. They understood it. And suddenly realized they’re no longer in control. A Speech That Refused to Beg for Permission Mamdani’s address wasn’t designed to soothe real estate lobbyists […]
- [Kari Lake Demands 'Effing Handcuffs' on Political Rivals](https://dailyboulder.com/kari-lake-demands-effing-handcuffs-on-political-rivals/): Donald Trump’s MAGA ecosystem just openly embraced state coercion. Kari Lake, the twice‑failed candidate Trump rewarded with a federal gig, didn’t tweet or whisper her latest demand. She broadcast it on Newsmax: her political rivals should be put in “effing handcuffs… for the rest of their lives.” According to Lake, the FBI targeted Trump allies unfairly, calling out Mar‑a‑Lago law enforcement actions and the indictment of Roger Stone, and therefore her enemies deserve life sentences. “They dragged Roger Stone out of his house. “They raided Mar-a-Lago. They attacked President Trump,” she said. “There’s not a damn person in handcuffs,” she […]
- [DHS Is Recruiting ‘Deportation Warriors’ — and It Looks Like a MAGA Paramilitary Force](https://dailyboulder.com/dhs-is-recruiting-deportation-warriors-and-it-looks-like-a-maga-paramilitary-force/): ICE is no longer acting like an enforcement agency — it’s functioning as a recruitment engine for a right-wing paramilitary force built to chase migrants like enemies on a battlefield. According to reporting in The Washington Post, ICE is spending $100 million on a “wartime recruitment” campaign targeting UFC fans, gun-show regulars, and conservative media consumers — treated like cannon fodder for Trump’s deportation crusade. Internal DHS documents show the agency marketing mass deportation like a militia recruitment drive. This isn’t about filling jobs; it’s about building a force with the psychology of combat and the ideology of exclusion. The […]
- [Democrats Just Let Trump Off the Hook Again](https://dailyboulder.com/democrats-just-let-trump-off-the-hook-again/): Here’s what happens when the opposition treats authoritarian misconduct like a storm to ride out: it becomes standard operating procedure. This wasn’t complicated. It wasn’t ambiguous. And it definitely wasn’t unavoidable. House Democrats had another chance to put Donald Trump on the record for his ongoing abuses of power — and they flinched. Again. By blocking Rep. Al Green’s impeachment resolution this month, Democrats didn’t protect institutional norms. They protected Trump from consequences. That choice will age badly. The House shelved yet another impeachment resolution against Donald Trump — not because the allegations lacked merit, but because Democratic leadership can’t […]
- [Kennedy Concerts Cancelled After Musicians Walk Out Over Trump's Vanity Move](https://dailyboulder.com/kennedy-concerts-cancelled-after-musicians-walk-out-over-trumps-vanity-move/): President Donald Trump’s decision to slap onto the Kennedy Center has turned one of America’s most respected cultural institutions into a political stage, and musicians aren’t playing along. New Year’s Eve concerts are canceled, and the message is clear: Trump’s vanity comes at the expense of art and integrity. Trump Turns Culture Into a Trophy The John F. Kennedy Center now bears Trump’s name — a move critics call illegal and audacious. Only Congress can officially rename memorials, but Trump ignored precedent to add his name to the marquee in a blatant act of self-promotion and political appropriation of public […]
- [Trump Is Preparing to Hijack The Midterms And Democrats Are Not Fighting Enough](https://dailyboulder.com/trump-is-preparing-to-hijack-the-midterms-and-democrats-are-not-fighting-enough/): Donald Trump isn’t just eyeing 2026 midterms — he’s engineering a political blitz that smells faintly of election interference, and Democrats aren’t sounding the alarm loudly enough. After a “quiet” off‑year election cycle, Trump’s moves look less like campaign strategy and more like power consolidation by every means necessary. Trump’s first order of business is map manipulation: Republicans are busy redrawing congressional districts to manufacture conservative majorities. That’s classic gerrymandering on steroids — but it has real consequences for voter representation. This isn’t strategy — it’s structural disenfranchisement. If you can’t win majorities at the ballot box in fair districts, […]
- [Obama Added to DOJ Hit List as Pam Bondi Turns Justice Into Revenge](https://dailyboulder.com/obama-added-to-doj-hit-list-as-pam-bondi-turns-justice-into-revenge/): Pam Bondi isn’t pursuing justice. She’s exacting revenge on Donald Trump’s behalf — and the Obama and Biden administrations are now explicitly in her crosshairs. “At my direction, our U.S. Attorneys and federal agents are actively investigating instances of government weaponization nationwide,” Bondi said, making clear this isn’t theoretical. The Department of Justice is now her weapon, and impartiality has left the building. Weaponized Law, Not Law Enforcement Bondi frames these investigations as correcting a “ten‑year stain on the country committed by high‑ranking officials against the American people.” That’s her exact wording — and it’s not subtle. This is not […]
- [Inside the Trump–Musk Truce: The Backroom Deal to Lock Down the GOP Majority Before Voters Do](https://dailyboulder.com/inside-the-trump-musk-truce-the-backroom-deal-to-lock-down-the-gop-majority-before-voters-do/): For months, it looked like Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s messy public divorce — ego clashes, policy sniping, and whispered threats of Musk backing alternatives outside the GOP — was final. Then, suddenly, the noise stopped. No feud. No third-party flirtation. That silence? It was negotiated. According to the Washington Post, Vice President JD Vance quietly brokered a truce between Trump and Musk, ending a power struggle that threatened to fracture Republican messaging and donor influence ahead of the 2026 midterms. What emerged wasn’t unity. It was a backroom power deal designed to consolidate influence inside the GOP before voters […]
- [Poll: Nearly Half of America Thinks They’re Already Broke — And They Are Blaming Trump and Republicans](https://dailyboulder.com/poll-nearly-half-of-america-thinks-theyre-already-broke-and-they-are-blaming-trump-and-republicans/): A new poll lays bare a truth no amount of GDP spin can hide: nearly half of Americans say their finances are actually worsening, and they are pointing fingers directly at President Donald Trump and Republican economic management. This isn’t a gentle recession whisper — it’s a reality check with teeth for GOP leadership as they head toward the 2026 midterms. The Harris Poll released Monday shows 45% of Americans believe their personal financial security has deteriorated, even as headline economic growth numbers have been upbeat. Meanwhile, 57% of respondents think the U.S. is in a recession right now — […]
- [Trump Tells GOP to Blow Up the Senate Rule to Get His Way](https://dailyboulder.com/trump-tells-gop-to-blow-up-the-senate-rule-to-get-his-way/): What Happened: President Donald Trump is demanding that Senate Republicans kill the filibuster rule, a procedural guardrail that requires 60 votes to advance most bills, to push through his agenda. Trump took to Truth Social and media appearances this week to blast the filibuster as an obstacle, urging his party to use the so-called “nuclear option” to scrap it outright. “The filibuster is hurting the Republican Party,” Trump told Politico. He called on Republican lawmakers to eliminate it “without question”. Republican leaders, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson, publicly pushed back, insisting the rule is […]
- [Trump Just Blew Up the GOP Over the Epstein Files — Here’s What That Really Means](https://dailyboulder.com/trump-just-blew-up-the-gop-over-the-epstein-files-heres-what-that-really-means/): What Happened: In the past 48 hours, the political world erupted when President Donald Trump publicly blasted Kentucky Republican Congressman Thomas Massie as a “lowlife” — not over ideology or policy, but for supporting a bipartisan effort to pry open deeply buried government files tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Massie co-authored the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bill aimed at forcing federal agencies to release documents related to Epstein’s network, timelines, and government interaction. Massie’s crime? He tried to do something both parties pretend to care about — transparency. Instead of debating the merits of disclosure, Trump unloaded personal attacks and […]
- [Trump Goes Off The Rails, Threatens Americans in Wild Truth Social Tirade Over Epstein Files](https://dailyboulder.com/trump-goes-off-the-rails-threatens-americans-in-wild-christmas-truth-social-tirade-over-epstein-files/): President Donald Trump erupted on Truth Social in a wild, unhinged tirade about the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump directly threatened Americans with ominous language, writing that it could be their “last Merry Christmas” while accusing Democrats of somehow glorifying Epstein. Trump insisted he had cut ties with Epstein “long before it became fashionable” and turned a criminal investigation into a partisan battlefield, painting political opponents as morally corrupt rather than addressing the disturbing facts in the files. “Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, […]
- [Trump’s DOJ in Full Chaos Mode: Epstein File Fallout Explodes Online and in Congress](https://dailyboulder.com/trumps-doj-in-full-chaos-mode-epstein-file-fallout-explodes-online-and-in-congress/): The Department of Justice — an institution that’s supposed to be above political theater — has officially become ground zero of the 2025 Epstein scandal meltdown, and it’s not because of careful legal strategy or transparency. It’s because the Trump-aligned faction of the DOJ reportedly seized control of the department’s social media account amid rising outrage over its bungled release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, fueling accusations of misinformation, political prioritization, and outright cover-ups. According to The Daily Beast, the White House grabbed the DOJ’s X (formerly Twitter) account to manage messaging after a controversial document dump left the department […]
- [Trump Admin Ends VA Abortion Care, Even for Rape, Incest and Health Risks](https://dailyboulder.com/trump-admin-ends-va-abortion-care-even-for-rape-incest-and-health-risks/): In a stunning and cruel shift, the Trump administration has effectively ended abortion care and counseling for U.S. veterans — even in cases of rape, incest, or serious health risks. The policy change was announced quietly through internal memoranda and legal interpretations rather than a transparent public debate, leaving millions of veterans with fewer reproductive health protections than ever before, multiple news outlet reported. According to Truthout, reproductive rights advocates allege this effort is part of a broader strategic rollback of reproductive health access that “won’t stop until they’ve imposed a national abortion ban.” For many veterans, especially women and […]
- [Bondi in Trouble: DOJ Faces Contempt Charge as Epstein Files Trigger Lawmaker Revolt](https://dailyboulder.com/bondi-in-trouble-doj-faces-contempt-charge-as-epstein-files-trigger-lawmaker-revolt/): The Justice Department is facing a rare bipartisan contempt battle over its handling of newly released files related to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — and it’s threatening to become a major constitutional and political crisis for the Trump administration. Lawmakers including Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie are threatening to hold Attorney General Pam Bondi in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with the *Epstein Files Transparency Act*, accusing the DOJ of slow-walking and selectively concealing key documents, the Washington Post reports. This fight isn’t just procedural, it’s a political litmus test of how much […]
- [Trump’s Epstein Files Nightmare Deepens: New Docs Show Plane Flights and Massive Cover Up](https://dailyboulder.com/trumps-epstein-files-nightmare-deepens-new-docs-show-plane-flights-and-massive-cover-up/): This week delivered a seismic development in the Jeffrey Epstein saga that the Trump White House would clearly rather avoid: the largest batch yet of Epstein files was released by the Department of Justice on December 23, 2025, and among the tens of thousands of newly published documents are now flight logs showing Donald Trump flew on Epstein’s private plane at least eight times, more than previously acknowledged. According to Reuters, these records are part of a massive tranche of nearly 30,000 pages of material released in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a congressional transparency law that Trump […]
- [Ohio Quietly Approved a Voter Suppression Law Ahead of Midterms, and Voters Will Pay the Price](https://dailyboulder.com/ohio-quietly-approved-a-voter-suppression-law-ahead-of-midterms-and-voters-will-pay-the-price/): In a move that should alarm every voter who cares about access to the ballot, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed a sweeping election law on Tuesday, that eliminates the four-day grace period for counting mailed absentee ballots. Critics say this wasn’t about election integrity — it was about shrinking democracy ahead of the 2026 midterms. **According to AP News , DeWine “reluctantly” signed the bill, despite previous statements that he would avoid new voting restrictions. This law arrives amid a nationwide GOP push — urged by President Donald Trump — to tighten mail-in ballot rules and shorten deadlines. The impact […]
- [Trump’s Power Play Backfires: Federal Judge Restores Funding to Blue States](https://dailyboulder.com/trumps-power-play-backfires-federal-judge-restores-funding-to-blue-states/): President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to weaponize federal funding as leverage in his immigration policy war hit a brick wall this week when a federal judge in Rhode Island ruled that the administration cannot strip more than $233 million in Homeland Security and disaster grants from Democratic-led states merely because they refuse to cooperate with his hardline immigration enforcement directives. This ruling is hardly a technicality. It’s a thumping reminder that the executive branch doesn’t get to punish states for political disagreements. That’s something we should have expected in a constitutional republic — but Trump’s repeated efforts to use federal […]
- [Supreme Court Just Checked Trump’s Playbook: A Crucial Win for the Rule of Law](https://dailyboulder.com/supreme-court-just-checked-trumps-playbook-a-crucial-win-for-the-rule-of-law/): The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to rubber-stamp President Donald Trump’s bid to deploy federalized National Guard troops across Chicago — a move that was never about “law enforcement” and everything about authoritarian showboating. In a 6–3 decision, the Court upheld a lower-court injunction keeping the deployment blocked, reining in a president increasingly tempted to use the military for domestic political ends, Capitol News Illinois reports. This isn’t a narrow procedural quibble; it’s a stark judicial warning that even a conservative-leaning bench isn’t going to stretch legal authority to satisfy Trump’s impulses. The decision is a powerful rebuke to […]
- [A Deleted DOJ File Just Surfaced, Dragging Trump Straight Into the Epstein Scandal](https://dailyboulder.com/a-deleted-doj-file-just-surfaced-dragging-trump-straight-into-the-epstein-scandal/): Just when it seemed like the Jeffrey Epstein case had settled into the usual cycle of half-answers and forgotten names, a document quietly reappeared — and then disappeared again. This time, it wasn’t a court filing or a media leak. It was an FBI tip buried inside a batch of Justice Department records, briefly posted online and then removed hours later. And it puts Donald Trump at the center of the Epstein scandal. The document, recorded by the FBI in October 2020, contains an allegation tied to a party culture surrounding Epstein in the year 2000. The information is explicitly […]
- [‘Oh My Gosh’: Mika Brzezinski Reacts as Trump Official Makes Epstein Photo Scandal Even Worse](https://dailyboulder.com/oh-my-gosh-mika-brzezinski-reacts-as-trump-official-makes-epstein-photo-scandal-even-worse/): What should have been a cleanup operation turned into a full-blown faceplant. Todd Blanche, Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer and now a top Justice Department official, went on Meet the Press this weekend with the apparent mission of explaining why a photo of Trump linked to Jeffrey Epstein briefly disappeared from newly released DOJ files — and then reappeared. Instead of calming things down, Blanche managed to pour gasoline on a controversy that was already smoldering. The photo was part of Friday’s Epstein document release, a long-anticipated DOJ drop that was supposed to show openness after years of secrecy. Hours […]
- [Top Senator Moves to Sue, Impeach DOJ Officials Over Missing Epstein Files: 'They Cannot Hide the Truth'](https://dailyboulder.com/top-senator-moves-to-sue-and-impeach-doj-officials-over-missing-epstein-files-this-administration-cannot-hide-the-truth/): Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is escalating the battle over Jeffrey Epstein’s files, taking aim at the Justice Department for its botched release of documents and promising aggressive action to force transparency. “I am introducing a resolution directing the Senate to initiate legal action against DoJ for its blatant disregard of the law in its refusal to release the complete Epstein files,” Schumer said on social media Monday.  “The American people deserve full transparency, and Senate Democrats will use every tool at our disposal to ensure they get it. This administration cannot be allowed to hide the truth.” If approved, […]
- [Bruce Willis’ Wife Shares Heartbreaking Update About His Diagnosis in Emotional Post](https://dailyboulder.com/bruce-willis-wife-shares-heartbreaking-update-about-his-diagnosis-in-emotional-post/): The holidays are often seen as a time of joy, tradition, and family togetherness—but for Emma Heming Willis, this season has come with a heavy dose of heartbreak. In a deeply emotional blog post, she opened up about life with her husband, Bruce Willis, following his 2023 diagnosis with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Emma, 47, shared a blog post reflecting on “how this season can bring up grief, loss, love, and moments of meaning all at once.” She wrote, “The holidays don’t disappear with a dementia diagnosis. They change. And while that change can ache, it can also make room for […]
- [Vance Tries to Win MAGA Crowd by Going Full Bigot at Turning Point USA](https://dailyboulder.com/vance-tries-to-win-maga-crowd-by-going-full-bigot-at-turning-point-usa/): JD Vance took the stage at Turning Point USA on Sunday and didn’t waste a second. He defended scrapping diversity programs with racially charged language, telling the crowd: “We don’t treat anybody different because of their race or their sex, so we have relegated DEI to the dustbin of history, which is exactly where it had belonged. In the United States of America, you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore.” Amid a weekend clouded by infighting, Vance tried to play peacemaker—sort of. On the topic of controversial figures like Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens, he said: “When I […]
- [‘Poisoning the Well’: CBS Under Fire for Yanking Trump-Prison Segment at Last Minute](https://dailyboulder.com/poisoning-the-well-cbs-under-fire-for-yanking-trump-prison-segment-at-last-minute/): CBS News hit the panic button — and everyone noticed. Just hours before “60 Minutes” was set to air a hard-hitting report on Venezuelan migrants deported by the Trump administration and locked inside El Salvador’s infamous CECOT prison, the network suddenly yanked the segment. Viewers who were promised accountability journalism instead got a feel-good piece about sherpas on Mount Everest. No warning. No real explanation. CBS issued a thin editor’s note saying the lineup was “updated” and the report would air “in a future broadcast.” Later, a spokesperson claimed the segment needed “additional reporting.” That excuse didn’t survive the day. […]
- [One Word Said the Quiet Part Out Loud: Erika Kirk’s Awkward On-Stage Slip Goes Viral](https://dailyboulder.com/one-word-said-the-quiet-part-out-loud-erika-kirks-awkward-on-stage-slip-goes-viral/): All it took was one word to flip the tone of an entire room — and light up the internet. Erika Kirk was on stage at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest this weekend for what was supposed to be a carefully scripted, emotionally resonant moment. As she presented the inaugural Charlie Kirk Courage Award to Utah Valley University student Caleb Chilcutt, the goal was to honor perseverance and reinforce the movement’s sense of purpose after the death of its founder. Instead, Kirk delivered a line no one was expecting. “Despite the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk, my incredible husband at UVU, […]

It’s the second-largest jackpot of the year, trailing only the $1.7 billion prize split by two winners in September. Saturday’s winning numbers—4, 5, 28, 52, 69, and Powerball 20—went unmatched, which means the jackpot is once again ballooning before Monday’s drawing. For anyone daring enough to dream of hitting the jackpot, the reality of taxes hits hard. A winner would face a choice: take the full $1.6 billion in 30 annualized payments, or grab a lump sum of $735.3 […]
- [‘That Photo’: Trump Official Caught Flatfooted After NBC Shows Image Pulled From Epstein Files](https://dailyboulder.com/that-photo-trump-official-caught-flatfooted-after-nbc-shows-image-pulled-from-epstein-files/): Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche found himself on the defensive Sunday after an NBC News anchor confronted him with a photo of President Donald Trump alongside Jeffrey Epstein—one of the images recently removed from the Department of Justice’s website. “There are dozens of photos of President Trump already released to the public, seeing him with Mr. Epstein,” Blanche told Meet The Press. “The absurdity of us pulling down a single photo because President Trump was in it is laughable. And the fact that everybody’s trying to act like that’s the case is a reflection of their true motivation.” The removed […]
- ['Trump Can Run But He Cannot Hide': Former White House Lawyer Drops Bombshell After Epstein Evidence Disappears](https://dailyboulder.com/trump-can-run-but-he-cannot-hide-former-white-house-lawyer-drops-bombshell-after-epstein-evidence-disappears/): If anyone still believes sensitive government records simply vanish by accident, this weekend delivered a harsh reality check. Over the weekend, a quiet but explosive development set off alarms across political and legal circles: key files connected to Jeffrey Epstein briefly appeared on a Justice Department website and then vanished without explanation. No press notice. No update. Just gone. MS NOW executive producer Kyle Griffin was among the first to flag what happened, amplifying a report from the Associated Press with a blunt warning shot: “BREAKING: At least 16 files disappeared from the Justice Department’s public webpage for documents related […]
- [SNL Skewers Trump Admin Over Blacked-Out Epstein Document Dump](https://dailyboulder.com/snl-skewers-trump-admin-over-blacked-out-epstein-document-dump/): “Saturday Night Live” didn’t waste time pretending the Trump White House’s Epstein document release was anything close to transparency. In this weekend’s cold open, the show went straight after the administration’s heavily redacted file dump, turning a supposed moment of accountability into a pitch-black punchline. Dressed up as a holiday address to the nation, the sketch zeroed in on what frustrated critics almost immediately: the White House insisted it had released everything, while ensuring the public could barely read anything at all. James Austin Johnson’s Trump impersonator leaned into that contradiction with trademark smugness, holding up a nearly solid-black document […]
- [Elise Stefanik Suddenly Reaches the End of the Road](https://dailyboulder.com/elise-stefanik-suddenly-reaches-the-end-of-the-road/): For years, Elise Stefanik looked like she was always one step away from something bigger. Higher leadership. A statewide breakthrough. Maybe even a long-term national role. Then, almost overnight, the road ended. On Friday, Stefanik announced she was suspending her campaign for New York governor and retiring from Congress entirely, a move that stunned allies and rivals alike. “While spending precious time with my family this Christmas season, I have made the decision to suspend my campaign for Governor and will not seek re-election to Congress. I did not come to this decision lightly for our family,” Stefanik wrote in […]

This one comes down to three words. No warning. No context. Just truth. “She texted me from the plane and she said, ‘We’re in trouble,’” Cathy Grossu told People on Friday, her voice breaking. “So we’re devastated. We’re brokenhearted.” That message, sent by Cristina Biffle to her mother, is now the final known communication from a woman who knew—at least in that moment—that something was terribly wrong. Minutes later, the plane went down in North Carolina, killing everyone on board. As reported by Huffington Post, the crash claimed seven lives, including […]
- [Top Trump Official: DOJ Won’t Release Full Epstein Files by Deadline Because It's Still Scrubbing Names](https://dailyboulder.com/top-trump-official-says-doj-wont-release-full-epstein-files-by-deadline-because-its-still-scrubbing-names/): The Department of Justice says it needs more time before the public can see the full scope of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The reason, according to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche: the government is still scrubbing names. That explanation isn’t sitting well with a growing number of lawmakers—and it’s fueling fresh questions about what, or who, the DOJ is really protecting. Blanche told Fox News on Friday that the department would release “several hundred thousand” documents by the legal deadline, with “several hundred thousand more” to follow in the coming weeks. The files, he said, are […]
- [Lawmakers Threaten Pam Bondi with Prosecution if Epstein Files Aren’t Fully Released Today](https://dailyboulder.com/lawmakers-threaten-pam-bondi-with-prosecution-if-epstein-files-arent-fully-released-today/): Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing a ticking clock as lawmakers demand the immediate release of all documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Failure to comply, they warn, could land her in legal trouble. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) delivered a stark warning in a video posted Thursday. “We will see thousands of documents that we should have seen decades ago,” Khanna said. “Let me be very clear. We need a full release. Anyone who tampers with these documents or conceals documents or engages in excessive redaction will be prosecuted because of obstruction of justice.” Khanna emphasized that accountability […]
- [Melania Trump Becomes ‘Missing Defendant’ in High-Stakes Lawsuit](https://dailyboulder.com/melania-trump-becomes-missing-defendant-in-high-stakes-lawsuit/): It’s not every day that serving a subpoena turns into a game of hide-and-seek—but that’s exactly what journalist Michael Wolff says is happening with first lady Melania Trump. Wolff, the author of four books about President Donald Trump, revealed Thursday on his podcast Inside Trump’s Head that he’s struggling to deliver legal papers to Melania in a lawsuit he filed against her. The legal battle began in October when Melania Trump filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Wolff, accusing him of making “false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements” about her alleged connection to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Wolff responded […]
- [Outmaneuvered: How Democrats Trapped Republicans in an Electoral Nightmare](https://dailyboulder.com/outmaneuvered-how-democrats-trapped-republicans-in-an-electoral-nightmare/): Heading into the 2026 midterms, the balance of power in Washington looks deceptively simple. Republicans hold the House majority. Democrats don’t. But anyone watching how the House has actually functioned over the past several months knows that formal control hasn’t translated into political dominance. In fact, the opposite has happened. Despite being in the minority, House Democrats have steadily shaped the agenda, forced uncomfortable votes, and exposed the internal weaknesses of a Republican conference that can barely govern itself. What’s emerged is a political trap: Republicans are spending more time defending Democratic priorities than advancing their own, all while their […]
- [Trump's DOJ Humiliated Again After Judge Exposes Third Failed Indictment Against Letitia James](https://dailyboulder.com/trumps-doj-humiliated-again-after-judge-exposes-third-failed-indictment-against-james/): The Trump Justice Department suffered another humiliating setback last week in their relentless pursuit of New York Attorney General Letitia James. In Alexandria, Virginia, a grand jury rejected a third proposed indictment, this one adding an extra felony charge that could have landed James, 67, behind bars for decades. The new, never-before-reported charge accused James of making a false statement to a financial institution, supplementing the previous counts of bank fraud and one other false statement. Each charge carries a potential 30-year prison sentence and fines up to $1 million—though, in reality, sentencing under federal guidelines would likely be far […]
- [Katie Miller’s College Scandal Revealed by Former Classmates: Report](https://dailyboulder.com/katie-millers-college-scandal-revealed-by-former-classmates-report/): Katie Miller, wife of anti-immigrant firebrand and Trump adviser Stephen Miller, has been quietly running a podcast widely mocked as a sleepy effort to polish her husband’s and other Trump officials’ reputations. The show paints her as the dutiful, polished spouse of power—but a new Slate profile exposes a far more ruthless, cutthroat past. Before she was a podcaster, Katie Miller, née Waldman, was a driven student with her own political ambitions — ambitions that came crashing down in a scandal that still haunts her reputation among former classmates. “Back then, Florida’s student government had a reputation of operating a […]
- [House Dems Drop New Batch of Epstein Photos — Some Are Disturbing](https://dailyboulder.com/house-dems-drop-new-batch-of-epstein-photos-some-are-disturbing/): House Democrats dropped a new batch of photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate on Thursday, and some of them are deeply unsettling. The release comes just a day ahead of the statutory deadline for the Justice Department to make its files public. The images, pulled from thousands of documents the late sex predator left behind, include disturbing depictions of women’s bodies marked with lines from the novel Lolita. Other photos capture Epstein in social settings, appearing at ease, which only heightens the unease. “Oversight Democrats will continue to release photographs and documents from the Epstein estate to provide transparency for the […]
- [White House Texts CNN Anchor Live to Complain About Her Reporting —She Doesn’t Flinch](https://dailyboulder.com/white-house-texts-cnn-anchor-live-to-complain-about-her-reporting-she-doesnt-flinch/): CNN viewers tuned in Tuesday expecting the usual roundtable analysis on Inside Politics. What they didn’t expect was to watch a White House communications operation try — and fail — to muscle an anchor in real time. As host Dana Bash discussed a bombshell Vanity Fair report with CNN political director David Chalian, her attention kept drifting downward. It wasn’t nerves or notes. It was her phone lighting up with messages from inside Trump world, clearly unhappy with how the White House was being portrayed on air. Bash didn’t dodge it. She explained it, live. “You probably saw me looking […]
- ['That Was Some Weird Sh*t: Trump’s Speech Sparks Bipartisan Eye-Rolling —Gavin Newsom Has The Best Response](https://dailyboulder.com/that-was-some-weird-sht-trumps-speech-sparks-bipartisan-eye-rolling-gavin-newsom-has-the-best-response/): Donald Trump went on national television Wednesday night and somehow managed to unite Americans across the political divide — not in pride, outrage, or resolve, but in collective confusion. When the address ended, the dominant reaction online wasn’t anger or applause. It was a simple, universal question: What was that? The speech landed with a thud. Heavy on self-congratulation, light on substance, and completely unclear on purpose, it felt less like a presidential address and more like a rerun of a campaign rally nobody asked for. Trump talked. A lot. About himself. Again. And when it was over, even people […]
- [NYT Unearths New Audio of Trump Pressing Republicans to Overturn Election Results](https://dailyboulder.com/nyt-unearths-new-audio-of-trump-pressing-republicans-to-overturn-election-results/): There’s something uniquely unsettling about hearing a plan laid out in real time—especially when that plan involves undoing an election after the votes are already counted. That’s what makes the newly surfaced audio obtained by The New York Times so striking. This isn’t interpretation or hindsight. It’s Donald Trump, on the phone, spelling out exactly what he wanted Republican lawmakers in Georgia to do after he lost the state in 2020. The audio comes from a tranche of materials tied to the now-dismissed Fulton County criminal case against Trump and more than a dozen of his allies. The case may […]

With 72.6 percent of the vote to Republican Calvin Leach’s 25.1 percent, Clemons turned what should have been a routine Democratic hold into a statement: the party of working families is surging, even in traditionally sleepy special elections. “Another election, another massive Democratic overperformance, this time in Kentucky,” said Democratic National Committee spokesman Abhi Rahman. “While Republicans keep bending the knee to Trump and billionaires, Democrats are fighting for working families. That’s why Democrats are consistently overperforming in 2025 and will continue building momentum […]
- [Poll: Majority of Americans Blame Trump for Rising Prices, Not Biden](https://dailyboulder.com/poll-majority-of-americans-blame-trump-for-rising-prices-not-biden/): President Donald Trump keeps insisting the economy is “great.” He claims victory on inflation and that anyone who complains is pushing a political “hoax.” But when confronted with the reality of high prices at the gas pump, grocery store, and on utility bills, Trump’s narrative quickly shifts: suddenly, it’s all Biden’s fault. However, a new Quinnipiac University poll makes it clear that voters aren’t buying his spin. The survey, released Wednesday, found 57 percent of Americans say Trump is more responsible for the current state of the economy, while only 34 percent blame Biden. Ten percent didn’t take a side.

The evidence was there. The legal bar was cleared. And Republicans made sure the public didn’t hear it. In a closed-door deposition on Capitol Hill, former special counsel Jack Smith told lawmakers his team “developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that President Donald Trump criminally conspired to overturn the 2020 election. That’s the highest standard in criminal law — and Smith said his investigators met it. But instead of a public reckoning, the testimony happened in secret. As reported by The Hill, Smith spent more than three hours answering questions from the House Judiciary […]

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, the states take direct aim at the Department of Transportation for halting money meant to build out the nation’s electric vehicle charging network—without repealing the law that authorized it. At its core, the case asks a simple but explosive question: can a president kill a federal program just by refusing to spend the money? The states argue the answer is no. The lawsuit, filed in the […]

New plaques installed under presidential portraits openly attack his predecessors, labeling former President Barack Obama “the most divisive political figure” and calling current President Joe Biden “by far, the worst.” Images of the plaques were shared on X by user @Breaking911, sparking immediate reactions online. The plaque under Obama’s portrait spares no punches: “Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President, a community organizer, one term Senator from Illinois, and one of the most divisive political figures in American History. As President, […]

It’s about controlling the story—and grabbing the spotlight ahead of the midterms. “The president is going to be in the Oval Office tonight, 9 p.m. Eastern,” co-host David Brody said on Real America’s Voice. “Big address to the nation. He’s elevating this. Clearly, this is to regain the narrative and explain more about the affordability issue in America and what this administration is doing. I think they’re trying to seize this right off the top and make […]

All it took was a photo, a haircut, and a couple of words online. Late Tuesday night, a longtime Donald Trump aide lashed out at critics after his appearance became the subject of ridicule on social media. The reaction came fast and furious, spilling out just minutes before midnight, and framed a mocking post not as political snark, but as something far more sinister. The whole thing appears to have kicked off with former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger, now one of Trump’s most […]

Eyewitnesses described a tense standoff as the crowd tried to protect the woman. “We kept yelling, she’s pregnant, she’s pregnant, she’s pregnant,” one witness recalled. “They put their knees in her, and we kept telling them she can’t breathe, let her up, let her up.” The situation quickly escalated, with the woman, who was handcuffed, “suddenly being dragged by one arm as the angry […]

Mike Lawler (R‑N.Y.) said Tuesday, emerging from a House Republican Conference meeting, according to The Hill. He added: “It is political malpractice.” Lawler, one of the moderates pushing to extend the expiring subsidies set to lapse Dec. 31, didn’t hold back. […]

In a jaw-dropping series of Vanity Fair interviews, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles just tore the lid off Trump’s second term—and she didn’t spare anyone. First, the bombshell on Trump himself: Wiles said he “has an alcoholic’s personality.” Her expertise? Growing up with her own alcoholic father, Wiles says, gave her a playbook for handling “big personalities.” “Some clinical psychologist that knows one million times more than I do will dispute what I’m going to say. But high-functioning alcoholics or alcoholics in general, their personalities are exaggerated when they drink. And so I’m a little bit […]

On Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday, former first lady Michelle Obama revealed that she and her husband Barack were actually scheduled to have dinner with the couple the very night they were found stabbed to death in their Los Angeles home. “We’ve known them for many, many years and we were supposed to be seeing them that night – last night and we got the news,” Michelle said, her words a chilling reminder of how close tragedy struck.

This time, it’s over the tragic deaths of Hollywood icon Rob Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, 68, who were fatally stabbed at their Los Angeles home Sunday. The couple’s son, Nick Reiner, 32, has been arrested and is “responsible” for their deaths, according to LAPD detectives. Reports indicate he had argued with his father at a Christmas party hosted by Conan O’Brien the night before the murders and fled to a Santa Monica hotel, where blood stains […]

As a full-scale manhunt continued for the Brown University shooter, FBI Director Kash Patel was busy doing promo for a cozy podcast appearance with his much younger girlfriend, turning what should have been a moment of federal urgency into a public relations disaster. The backlash was immediate and brutal. “Doing podcast fluff while the Brown shooter is still at large?” wrote Blakeley Bartley, a New York songwriter and political commentator with more than 70,000 followers on X. Patel, 45, appeared Tuesday evening in a video alongside his 26-year-old […]

It was fear. Fear of being the next name dragged into court over what critics say are blatantly illegal appointments pushed by Donald Trump during his second term. On Friday, Julianne Murray abruptly resigned as U.S. attorney in Delaware. Murray, a former head of the state Republican Party, had been serving in an interim role after being appointed over the summer. Her departure didn’t happen in a vacuum. It came on the heels of a stinging ruling from the […]

Not a dark alley. Not an abandoned building. A Dollar Tree. Just before a Dollar Tree opened for the day, an employee made a discovery no one is prepared for: a woman’s body inside a walk-in freezer. Miami police were called to the store at 968 SW Eighth St. around 8 a.m. The woman was later identified as 32-year-old Helen Massiell Garay Sanchez, the Miami Herald reports. As of Sunday afternoon, police weren’t offering answers—only uncertainty. “It’s an Unclassified Death,” Miami police officer Michael Vega wrote in an email. […]

Rural Montanans, long reliable Republican voters, are waking up to a reality they didn’t sign up for. At the Hilltop Hitching Post, one of the town’s few gathering spots, hunter Terry Zink, 57, leaned against a diner counter, wire-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. “You won’t meet anyone more conservative than me, and I didn’t vote for this,” he said.

Following the tragic deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, in their Los Angeles home — their son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested in connection with the killings — Trump posted on social media blaming what he called “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) for their fate. In other words, he suggested their outspoken criticism of him had brought this on. It was a shocking, reckless, and widely condemned […]

Their son, Nick Reiner, 32, has been arrested and booked in connection with the tragedy, and is being held on $4 million bail, according to police. Authorities were initially tight-lipped about suspects when the 78-year-old director and his 68-year-old wife were found dead in their Brentwood home on Sunday. Both had suffered stab wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene around 3:40 p.m. at the 200 block of South Chadbourne Avenue. “We understand that the person reporting was here at the […]

But Trump, rather than offering condolences, seized the moment to attack the late director, suggesting his criticism of the president might have played a role in his death. “A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood,” Trump wrote. “Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and […]
- [Trump Slammed Over 'Disgraceful' Remark About Brown University Shooting](https://dailyboulder.com/trump-slammed-over-disgraceful-remark-about-brown-university-shooting/): Donald Trump is under fire again, this time for comments critics are calling “disgraceful” and “embarrassing” in the wake of the Brown University mass shooting that left two people dead and nine others injured this past weekend. Speaking at the White House Christmas reception, Trump began by praising Brown University as a “great school, really one of the greatest schools anywhere in the world.” But what followed quickly overshadowed the compliment. “Things can happen, so to the nine injured, get well fast. And to the families of those two who are no longer with us, I pay my deepest regards […]

Now he’s ending the year in freefall, according to multiple polls. RealClearPolitics shows his overall approval at 44 percent, but some individual polls are far worse. The latest AP-NORC survey has just 36 percent of U.S. adults approving of his performance, while 61 percent disapprove. Loyal supporters are holding the line, but the cracks in Trump’s coalition are widening. Trump rode to victory in 2024 on anger over the economy, inflation, and immigration. Those same issues are now dragging him down. Approval for his handling of the […]

After spending months touting the sweeping One Big Beautiful Bill Act as the cure-all for the economy, GOP lawmakers are now floating yet another partisan package, this time laser-focused on “affordability.” The shift feels less like a bold new vision and more like damage control. President Trump has made clear he doesn’t see the need for another sweeping bill. Just last week, he brushed off calls for a follow-up package, arguing that Republicans already delivered what voters wanted. Trump said […]

Reiner, 78, the filmmaker behind classics like This Is Spinal Tap, Stand by Me, The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally…, was discovered alongside his wife, 68, in what police are treating as a homicide. Investigators believe both suffered stab wounds. A family member is being questioned, though the LAPD has said no suspects are currently being sought.

The shooting happened inside the Barus and Holley building, home to the school’s engineering and physics departments, while students were sitting for exams. “We do know that there were final exams taking place in the building between 2 and 5 p.m.,” Brown University Provost Francis J. Doyle III said at an evening news conference. Police say the suspect is a male dressed in black who fled the scene on […]
- [Trump Unleashes Late-Night Threat Against Indiana Republicans Over Failed Map Scheme](https://dailyboulder.com/trump-unleashes-late-night-threat-against-indiana-republicans-over-failed-map-scheme/): President Donald Trump erupted in a blistering late-night attack on Indiana Republicans who refused to bend to his redistricting plans, calling them “ashamed” and promising to back primary challengers against them. On Thursday, the Indiana state Senate shot down a bill that would have effectively erased the state’s two Democratic districts. Twenty-one Republicans broke ranks, joining all 10 Democrats to defeat the measure 31-19. “Republicans in the Indiana State Senate, who voted against a Majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, should be ashamed of themselves,” Trump wrote on Truth Social around 1 a.m. Saturday. “Headed by a total loser […]
- [‘Testify or Face Contempt’: GOP Goes After Bill and Hillary Clinton as Epstein Files Tighten Around Trump](https://dailyboulder.com/testify-or-face-contempt-gop-goes-after-bill-and-hillary-clinton-as-epstein-files-tighten-around-trump/): As scrutiny over Donald Trump’s connections to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein refuses to fade, House Republicans are redirecting attention to a familiar political target: Bill and Hillary Clinton. On Friday, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) issued an ultimatum to the former president and former secretary of state, demanding they appear for depositions in Congress’ investigation into Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The move comes as pressure mounts on the Trump administration over newly released Epstein-related documents — and as public skepticism grows over what the government may still be hiding. “It has been more than four months since Bill […]
- [ICE Using TSA Data to Snag Airline Passengers for Deportation: Report](https://dailyboulder.com/ice-using-tsa-data-to-snag-airline-passengers-for-deportation-report/): The Transportation Security Administration is quietly handing over the names of every airline passenger to U.S. immigration authorities as part of the Trump administration’s aggressive deportation program, The New York Times reported Friday. According to the report, TSA shares lists of travelers several times a week with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “ICE can then match the list against its own database of people subject to deportation and send agents to the airport to detain those people,” the Times said. Both TSA and ICE operate under the Department of Homeland Security, and the move marks a sharp expansion of information sharing […]
- [New Flu Variant Fuels Rapid Spike Across America — CDC Warns of Tough Weeks Ahead. Here’s Where the Virus is Hitting Hardest](https://dailyboulder.com/new-flu-variant-fuels-rapid-spike-across-america-cdc-warns-of-tough-weeks-ahead-heres-where-the-virus-is-hitting-hardest/): A new wave of flu cases is ripping across the country, and the post-Thanksgiving jump is sharper than health officials expected. Fresh data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show an 8% rise in positive flu tests in the last week alone. So far this season, an estimated 2.9 million people have gotten sick, and roughly 1,200 have died — numbers that typically don’t climb this fast until deeper into winter. Several states have now bumped into higher alert tiers. As of Dec. 6, Colorado, New Jersey, New York, and Louisiana are all in the CDC’s “high” transmission […]
- [‘I Don’t Know What She’s Doing’: Trump Confused by Melania’s Cryptic White House Announcement](https://dailyboulder.com/i-dont-know-what-shes-doing-trump-confused-by-melanias-cryptic-white-house-announcement/): First Lady Melania Trump left President Donald Trump visibly confused Thursday at the White House Congressional Ball, hinting at a legislative initiative he admitted he hadn’t heard of. Speaking to guests, Melania thanked House Speaker Mike Johnson for helping pass the Take It Down Act, part of her “Be Best” anti-bullying program targeting revenge porn and deepfake images. Then she dropped a surprising tease: “I hope you will be excited to support my new legislative initiative in 2026. Some of you already know about it because it’s already in the works.” Trump, standing beside her, looked caught off guard. “Well, […]
- [‘Horrendous Numbers’: Trump and Republicans Tank on Key Voter Issue](https://dailyboulder.com/horrendous-numbers-trump-and-republicans-tank-on-key-voter-issue/): President Donald Trump and the Republican Party are floundering on healthcare, and the numbers are merciless. CNN’s senior data analyst Harry Enten calls them “horrendous.” As the Affordable Care Act’s premium tax credits edge toward expiration, Americans are making one thing crystal clear: they are not buying Trump’s spin. The AP-NORC poll from Thursday lays it bare. Only 29 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of healthcare, while 69 percent disapprove. “Disapprove more than double, 69 percent—40 points higher than the approval. That is gosh darn awful, it’s horrendous,” Enten said. And it’s not just Democrats. “And when you […]
- [Donated Live Grenade Sends Shoppers Running at Florida Goodwill](https://dailyboulder.com/donated-live-grenade-sends-shoppers-running-at-florida-goodwill/): Shoppers and employees at a Goodwill store in Palatka, Florida, were forced to evacuate after a live hand grenade was discovered in a donation bin. The alarming find prompted an immediate response from law enforcement. “Authorities immediately secured the scene and evacuated the Goodwill in Palatka, a city about 50 miles south of Jacksonville,” officials reported. The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office bomb squad safely retrieved the device and detonated it remotely in a secure location. According to Goodwill spokesperson Liz Morgan, the grenade appeared to have been donated. “An employee discovered it in a bin near the donation door,” […]
- [Trump, Bannon, Clinton Appear in Newly Released Jeffrey Epstein Photos](https://dailyboulder.com/trump-bannon-clinton-appear-in-newly-released-jeffrey-epstein-photos/): House Democrats on the Oversight Committee dropped a new batch of photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate on Friday, showing the late financier in the company of some of the world’s most high-profile figures. The images, 19 in total, include President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Steve Bannon, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, former Harvard President Larry Summers, Alan Dershowitz, and even former Prince Andrew. Portions of several photos have been redacted by the committee. While none of the images show sexual misconduct or underage girls, they offer a glimpse into the circle of power Epstein cultivated. One photo shows a […]
- [New Trump–Epstein Email Leak Stuns Reporters: 'I Am So Proud to Be Your President, Pedophiles'](https://dailyboulder.com/new-trump-epstein-email-leak-stuns-reporters-i-am-so-proud-to-be-your-president-pedophiles/): A fresh batch of leaked emails is throwing the Trump–Epstein connection back into the spotlight after a whistleblower group released messages that appear to show Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign sending bizarrely addressed emails to an account linked to Jeffrey Epstein — using the name “Pedophiles.” The files were obtained by Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets), a nonprofit whistleblower organization. According to the group, Epstein’s email account, jeeproject@yahoo.com, regularly received campaign alerts during the 2020 race. And after Epstein’s death, the account reportedly appeared in the campaign’s contact list under a new display name: “Pedophiles.” Among the emails in the leak […]
- [Tina Peters Still Locked Up After Trump Issues Invalid Pardon](https://dailyboulder.com/tina-peters-still-locked-up-after-trump-issues-invalid-pardon/): Donald Trump tried to make a splash on Thursday night, announcing on Truth Social that he was issuing a full pardon to former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters — a hero in his narrative of the “Rigged 2020 Presidential Election.” But the move immediately hit a brick wall: Peters is doing time on state convictions, and a presidential pardon can’t touch those. Still, Trump blasted out his declaration as if he could snap Peters out of a Colorado prison by sheer force of will. “Tina is sitting in a Colorado prison for the ‘crime’ of demanding Honest Elections,” he wrote.

- [NO RIGGING HERE: Indiana GOP Shuts Down Trump's Gerrymander Scheme](https://dailyboulder.com/no-rigging-here-indiana-gop-shuts-down-trumps-gerrymander-scheme/): President Donald Trump suffered a rare and striking defeat on Thursday as Indiana Republicans rejected his aggressive effort to redraw congressional lines to eliminate the state’s only two Democratic-held House seats. The vote: 19 in favor, 31 against. The failed scheme represents a major setback for Trump’s broader effort to reshape the House ahead of the 2026 midterms, an unprecedented push to use mid-cycle gerrymandering to wipe out Democratic representation in GOP-run states. No state faced the pressure Trump applied in Indiana—politically or personally. Trump leaned hard on Indiana lawmakers. He promised to back primary challengers against anyone who defied […]
- [Trump's DOJ Humiliated Again as Grand Jury Refuses to Re-Indict Letitia James](https://dailyboulder.com/trumps-doj-humiliated-again-as-grand-jury-refuses-to-re-indict-letitia-james/): For the second time, a grand jury refused to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James, rejecting a mortgage fraud case pushed by President Donald Trump, according to a source familiar with the matter, The Associated Press reports. The rejection follows the earlier dismissal of charges against James and former FBI Director James Comey, marking a serious setback for the Justice Department and a blow to Trump’s efforts to target political rivals. A judge tossed the original indictments in November, ruling that Lindsey Halligan, the prosecutor who brought the case, was illegally appointed as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District […]
- [GOP Split Emerges as Four Republican Senators Join Democrats on ObamaCare Funding Push](https://dailyboulder.com/gop-split-emerges-as-four-republican-senators-join-democrats-on-obamacare-funding-push/): A rare crack in Republican unity opened up Thursday as four GOP senators crossed the aisle to support a Democratic measure extending enhanced ObamaCare subsidies—an unexpected move that immediately stirred political chatter heading into 2026. Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) backed a Democratic proposal to continue the boosted Affordable Care Act premium subsidies for another three years. The plan, introduced by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, drew all 47 Democratic votes but still fell short of the 60 needed, failing 51–47, according to The Hill. Even in defeat, the vote put […]
- ['Shame!': Protesters Erupt as Kristi Noem Abruptly Bolts From Hearing Under Fire](https://dailyboulder.com/protesters-erupt-as-kristi-noem-abruptly-bolts-from-hearing-under-fire/): Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem walked straight into a political buzz saw on Capitol Hill this week — and then walked right back out of it when the questioning got too hot. Appearing before the House Homeland Security Committee, Noem was already under pressure amid reports she may be on her way out at DHS. But the hearing took a sharp turn when Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-RI) confronted her with real-world fallout from ICE actions that directly contradicted her claim: “We have not deported U.S. citizens or military veterans.” Magaziner opened with a blunt reminder of what’s at […]
- ['You Lie With Impunity': Congresswoman Torches Kristi Noem to Her Face, Vows 'Impeachment' if She Isn’t Fired](https://dailyboulder.com/you-lie-with-impunity-congresswoman-torches-kristi-noem-to-her-face-vows-impeachment-if-she-isnt-fired/): Democratic Rep. Delia C. Ramirez, of Illinois didn’t hold back Thursday as she confronted Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over what she called a pattern of deception and misconduct. The exchange, which took place during a tense Homeland Security Committee hearing, saw Ramirez openly threaten impeachment if Noem was not removed from office. “I want to be very clear,” Ramirez told Noem. “You have misused resources appropriated by Congress. You’ve engaged in unethical behavior. You have repeatedly made false and misleading statements to Congress and to the press, and you’ve undermined the separation of powers and disregarded the […]
- ['Do a Real Service to the Country and Just Resign': Lawmaker Slams Kristi Noem at Hearing](https://dailyboulder.com/do-a-real-service-to-the-country-and-just-resign-lawmaker-slams-kristi-noem-at-hearing/): The heat in the House Homeland Security Committee hearing reached a fever pitch Thursday as Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) tore into Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, accusing her of misusing taxpayer money and calling on her to resign—if President Donald Trump didn’t fire her first. Thompson’s blistering critique centered on what he described as Noem’s “corrupt behavior” and misuse of department resources. “Instead of deploying Homeland Security grants to protect churches and synagogues from terrorism, you handed your friends a $220 million contract so they could follow you around the country with a camera,” Thompson told the DHS […]
- [Judge Denies Bond For ICE Agent Arrested For Choking Woman in Cincinnati](https://dailyboulder.com/judge-denies-bond-for-ice-agent-arrested-for-choking-woman-in-cincinnati/): A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent remains behind bars after prosecutors successfully argued he should not be granted bond following an alleged attack on a woman in Cincinnati. Samuel Saxon, 47, allegedly put a woman who lives with him in a chokehold, “causing serious physical harm,” according to Hamilton County court records. Police say the attack left visible bruising around the victim’s neck. Cincinnati police arrested Saxon over the weekend on charges of felonious assault, strangulation, and domestic violence. He was booked into the county jail just before 3:30 a.m. Saturday and remains behind bars, local NBC affiliate […]

Xinis criticized the government’s handling of the case, adding, “Separately, Respondents’ conduct over the past months belie that his detention has been for the basic purpose of effectuating removal, lending further support that Abrego Garcia should be held […]
