All 10 ActBlue Witnesses Take The Fifth As GOP Says Probe Is "Far From Over" All ten ActBlue employees and board members deposed by House investigators have invoked the Fifth Amendment rather than answer questions about the Democratic Party's dominant fundraising platform.

Melania Trump's Team Finally Breaks Silence On Natalie Harp Frenzy A key advisor to First Lady Melania Trump has broken his silence against the nonstop media frenzy surrounding President Donald Trump and loyal White House aide Natalie Harp. Evan Vucci/Reuters/Aaron Schwarz/Getty Images The speculation, circulating for weeks across mainstream and tabloid outlets, concerns whether Trump's working relationship with the 35-year-old aide exceeds professional norms - fueled by Harp's near-constant presence at his side in the Oval Office, at public events and on weekend golf outings, and by the first lady's own scarcity. Melania has appeared in public on roughly 40 days this year, regularly skipping events her husband attends. Marc Beckman, exclusive senior advisor to the first lady, didn't mince words in an interview released Wednesday, Sept. 9 on host Stella Escobedo's YouTube show, the Daily Mail reports. Escobedo set up the question by accusing the press of being "endlessly obsessed w...

"Really Bright Future": Wall Street's Big Bet on Booming Red America Escalates Goldman Sachs is nearing a major milestone on its new Dallas campus, where the exterior of an 800,000-square-foot building is nearly complete and the Wall Street firm is preparing to begin work on the interior ahead of a planned January 2028 opening. The new Goldman Sachs campus in downtown Dallas is under construction, with a projected opening in January 2028. (Shelby Tauber via Getty Images, yoinked from Fox News) The project will consolidate two existing Goldman offices into a single campus and give the firm more room to expand in a city that is already its second-largest U.S. base after New York, with roughly 4,500 employees across North Texas. The roughly $500 million campus is designed for more than 5,000 workers and will be the largest office by square footage in Goldman's portfolio when it opens - larger than anything the firm occupies in Manhattan. Ericka Leslie, Goldman's chief administrative officer, r...

X Busts Suspected Chinese Bot Farm That Could 'Manipulate Legitimate Debate' Over America's AI Boom Social media giant X said on Thursday that it identified a bot farm of roughly 200,000 suspected Chinese accounts – 200 of which were "posting in a manner that could manipulate a legitimate debate about American AI and energy policy."

Zhang, also a member of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) ruling Politburo, was abrup...

(Michael Ciaglo/Getty Images) The new shots from Pfizer and Moderna use the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) platform and target the XFG strain, a subvariant of the JN.1 variant. Regulators also cleared a COVID-19 vaccine shot from Sanofi that targets the XFG strain and does not use mRNA technology. The approval is for people aged 65 and older, as well as people aged 12 to 64 who have one or more underlying conditions such as obesity that officials say puts them at higher risk of severe COVID-19. Regulators have been approving updated COVID-19 vaccines for several years, in a bid to better match circulating strains.

For Decades, The United States Ignored Latin America. All That Changed Under Trump. Authored by Darlene McCormick Sanchez via The Epoch Times, In a pre-dawn raid in January, Delta Force soldiers burst in on a sleeping Nicolás Maduro, capturing the Venezuelan leader wanted on U.S. narco-terrorism charges. Illustration by The Epoch Times, Getty Images, Public Domain The dramatic end of Maduro's control over a country emblematic of left-wing politics underscored Latin America's shift to the political right. Since late 2025, the leadership has flipped from left to right in five Latin American countries: Bolivia, Chile, Honduras, Peru, and Colombia. Uruguay did the opposite, shifting from right to left in November 2024, the same month Trump was reelected. The conservative realignment under Trump comes as his administration has refocused on America's southern neighbors in what has been dubbed the "Donroe Doctrine" - a play on the Monroe Doctrine, which asserted U.S. dominance over the ...

The Cruelty Of DEI Authored by Jeffrey Tucker via The Epoch Times, This past week ended with shock and sadness at the news that Jason Arday ended his own life in the midst of an investigation over his intellectual credibility. He was the vaunted education sociologist at Cambridge University, media darling and beneficiary of a big book contract, the toast of the town, and the subject of countless hagiographic profiles in media venues. People walk past floral tributes to remember Jason Arday, attached to the railings outside Senate House in the University of Cambridge in Cambridge, eastern England, on Aug. 15, 2026. (Justine Gerardy/AFP via Getty Images) Plenty of people had whispered for years that he nowhere near qualified for all this celebration. He was not a genius. He was a fabulist. Saying it, however, was dangerous to one's career. As a result, he kept getting away with it. His luck ran out when a U.S. academic pressed the issue. The tissue of lies collapsed. The circumstances surroundi...
