The shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is dying out in the media for obvious reasons: the shooter was transgender, hated Trump—hated everyone, really—and it doesn’t fit the narrative the media likes to keep such a story on repeat. Robert “Robin” Westman shot and killed two kids and injured 17 more on August 27 during mass. It was commemorating the start of the new school year. It seems like there have been scores of mass shootings committed by transgender individuals. Western Journal did an analysis showing that since 2020, 40 percent of mass shooters or would-be mass shooters...

Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said late Tuesday that President Trump “may be covering for some rich and powerful people,” as the lawmaker pushes for more transparency in the case of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “I think the best way to clear President Trump’s name is to release all the files,” Massie told MSNBC’s “All In” host Chris Hayes. “I actually don’t think he’s done anything criminal; I think he may be covering for some rich and powerful people that are friends of his.

Many of the files appeared to be regular court filings, including, for example,...

Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook “did not ever commit mortgage fraud,” her lawyer Abbe Lowell said Tuesday in a new court filing bolstering arguments why a judge should temporarily block President Donald Trump from firing her. Lowell argued in the same filing that any of Cook’s statements that she made on mortgage applications — which Trump has cited as the reason for her termination — do not give the president legal cause to remove her. Lowell said multiple federal government entities received her mortgage details before the Senate first confirmed her nomination to the Fed in May 2022. The...

A federal appeals court late Tuesday ruled President Trump can’t invoke a wartime law to swiftly deport alleged Venezuelan gang members, a key legal tool the administration has used to implement its immigration crackdown. Trump first invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act in March to remove Venezuelans the administration accuses of being members of the Tren de Aragua gang. Tuesday’s ruling blocks Trump from using the law against migrants detained in northern parts of Texas, and the battle could now return to the Supreme Court. The divided 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel found no “invasion” or “predatory incursion”...
