House Democrats released 19 photos drawn from a massive Epstein archive, showing the disgraced financier with a range of high-profile figures and reigniting fights over transparency, selective leaks, and political motives.

Myanmar’s military has acknowledged an airstrike on a hospital in Rakhine state that local rescuers and media say killed more than 30 people, a grim confirmation of violence striking a medical facility in a volatile region.

Republican voters in Indiana expected results but walked away empty-handed after their party failed to deliver in the state Senate, leaving a mix of frustration and calls for internal accountability. “I voted Republican and all I got was this dumb t-shirt,” is a good summation of the disappointment many feel when promises from their own party fail to translate into action. That line captures voter frustration, especially when the people they backed expect policy wins instead of talking points. When support doesn’t yield results, trust frays fast. On Thursday, the Hoosier State’s Republican-controlled Senate shot down efforts to pass a…

President Trump this week allowed artificial intelligence powerhouse Nvidia to sell its advanced H200 microchips to China — a decision that came the same day his Justice Department announced arrests. That single line has become the headline because it ties trade policy, national security, and criminal enforcement into one moment. The choice to permit those sales signals a different approach to engagement with foreign markets while the…

Rod Paige, an educator, coach and administrator who rolled out the nation’s landmark “No Child Left Behind” policy as the first African American to serve as U.S. education secretary, died recently. Rod Paige built a career in classrooms, on the sidelines and inside district offices before moving to the national stage, and his path was rooted in hands-on education work rather than Washington careerism. He brought that practical background to a high-pressure role, translating classroom experience into federal policy. That blend of educator sensibility and executive responsibility shaped how he approached reform. At the U.S. Department of Education, Paige oversaw…

Voters and politicians alike are frustrated that counting is dragging out, and that frustration is coming from all sides. The batch-by-batch updates from the electoral authority have been slow enough to erode confidence, and when the three leading campaigns start leveling allegations the situation hardens quickly.
