A firm representing House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) solicited Jeffrey Epstein for donations and to get him to attend a dinner with then-President Barack Obama, newly released files revealed. Thousands of pages of documents from Epstein’s estate published by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week included a 2013 email from a representative of Jeffries’ asking Epstein to meet with and give money to the Democrat leader. House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) exposed the email on the House floor during consideration of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which passed 427-1: https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/1990866192358055989 New York City-based firm Dynamic...

WASHINGTON—House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today destroyed Democrats’ latest anti-Trump narrative during House consideration of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. In his remarks, Chairman Comer outlined the Oversight Committee’s thorough review of the federal government’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and criticized Democrats for misrepresenting witness testimony, selectively leaking and altering documents, and advancing yet another false narrative to attack President Trump. Chairman Comer emphasized that documents and witness accounts undermine Democrats’ claims and urged them to prioritize justice for survivors over politics.Below are Chairman Comer’s prepared remarks.Thank you, Mr. Speaker.As Chairman of the House...

Today’s Republican Party is big on manliness and masculine virtues. The MAGA right in particular is forever obsessing over who is the biggest, the strongest, the most fearless among them.This is why, watching President Trump’s fight to keep a lid on the Epstein files, I have been struck, delighted even, that among the vanishingly few Republican lawmakers with the courage to defy him have been three fire-breathing congresswomen: Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Nancy Mace of South Carolina.Love ’em or hate ’em, these House troublemakers bucked their party leadership, stared down their president and made...

By now, you’ve probably seen the giddy headlines from America’s propaganda media about the U.S. Supreme Court declining to take up a case that sought to overturn so-called “gay marriage.”“BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejects a call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide,” an Associated Press tweet with more than 21,000 likes reads. “Supreme Court rejects challenge to landmark same-sex marriage decision,” a USA Today headline blared. This “breaking news” is in response to an order list published by the Supreme Court on Monday detailing which cases it will and will not be taking up during its ongoing 2025-2026...

WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) today attempted to pass three bills via unanimous consent that would have blocked pay to Members of Congress and restored pay to federal workers during the government shutdown on its 37th day. Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) objected and blocked the bills from passing unanimously. After Paul objected to Kennedy’s first bill, the No Shutdown Paychecks to Politicians Act, Kennedy also attempted to pass his Withhold Member Pay During Shutdowns Act. Paul objected, arguing that all federal employees who have worked through the shutdown should get paid.

BREAKING: Senator Paul just OBJECTED TWICE to Senator Kennedy's proposals that would NOT PAY members of Congress during a shutdown. Paul: "I don't want to pay LESS PEOPLE [during a shutdown], I want to pay MORE." He wants to make a PERMANENT PAYDAY for his fellow CROOKS! UNREAL

The engine of a UPS cargo plane that crashed on Tuesday could have detached from the jet, an expert has warned, causing a devastating fireball that killed at least nine people. There are fears the death toll could rise after Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced this morning that sixteen families had reported their loved ones missing. The Boeing MD-11 plane exploded shortly after departing from Kentucky's Muhammad Ali International Airport in Louisville last night. Speaking with CNN, Mary Schiavo, former Department of Transportation Inspector General, said she believed the engine had come off before the explosion. 'You can see there...

LEXINGTON — Candidates for U.S. Senate in Kentucky talked on Wednesday about national economic and trade policies before a gathering focused on manufacturing and innovation. Answering questions in front of the Kentucky Industry Conference held in Lexington this week, top Republican candidates — former Attorney General Daniel Cameron, U.S. Rep. Andy Barr and businessman Nate Morris — reiterated their support for President Donald Trump’s agenda. Former Marine fighter pilot Amy McGrath, the only Democratic candidate to address the forum, offered a different view and said “what we’re seeing from this administration right now is dangerous and not normal.” The candidates...

KENTUCKY FAILING (once again)🤡cc: @RandPaul@SenRandPaul@RepThomasMassie

A true mask off moment for Thomas Massie. Only $22,000 of the nearly 540k of individual donations came from within Kentucky. This guy has become everything that he claims to hate.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is “not a statesman,” Massie challenger Ed Gallrein — a generational farmer who served as a Navy SEAL — said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday. Gallrein, whom Trump endorsed, explained that Massie is “not a statesman for Kentucky” but a “career politician.” “So with respect to that, at a high level, you’ve got to bring solutions at the table. Have the integrity and the credibility to advance those. He cannot do it,” he said. Ultimately, Gallrein said Massie’s votes actively “align and actually leverage the adversary party against us and the agenda that we...

@MassieforKY I tell it like it is. Here’s a group of lobbyists in DC who sell out farmers while pretending to support them. @BeefUSA supports electronic tags on livestock, opposes country of origin labeling, is against checkoff reform, & won’t lift a finger to help farmers sell beef locally.

@RepThomasMassie Last night, @SchmittNYC & I discussed the President’s proposal to purchase more beef from Argentina. The America First solution to rising beef prices is my bill, the PRIME Act. It would empower farmers to sell directly to consumers without corporate middlemen.

Joy Behar, a co-host on ABC’s “The View,” on Wednesday lauded Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) for standing up to the Trump administration. “He’s the one Republican that you can respect right now,” Behar told viewers.

FIRST ON FOX - A former longtime Navy SEAL and fifth-generation Kentucky farmer who is backed by President Donald Trump on Tuesday declared his candidacy in the state's 4th Congressional District, as he challenges Republican Rep. Thomas Massie in next year's GOP primary. "I’ve dedicated my life to serving my country, and I’m ready to answer the call again," Ed Gallrein said in a statement shared first with Fox News Digital. And pointing to Massie, a frequent GOP critic of the president during his second term in the White House, Gallrein emphasized, "This district is Trump Country. The President doesn’t...
