Trump Takes Aim at Law Firm Aiding Jack Smith The move, signed by President Trump on Thursday, is a major escalation of his promise to pursue perceived foes.

It’s not a president’s job to punish lawyers who represent clients he doesn’t like any more that it’s his job to give preference to media outlets that give him favorable coverage. This is a redline for democracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

Zelenskyy refuses to sign Trump’s rare earths deal — but official says pact is close “Nearly all key details finalized,” says Ukrainian deputy PM about the controversial minerals agreement.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is still refusing to sign a critical minerals deal with US President Donald Trump, arguing that the terms proposed by America will punitively hit generations of Ukrainians.

Himes: "It just looks like an episode of The Sopranos. 'Give us your minerals or we're not gonna help you fight a bloody butcher.' I mean, is this really we want the greatest country in history to be known for -- some mafia thing? ... this president is standing with the bad guy"

Trump announces conservative podcaster Dan Bongino as FBI deputy director The appointment of Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and NYPD officer turned conservative radio host, puts a second Trump ally at the top of the agency.

President Donald Trump said Sunday that Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and New York police officer turned conservative radio host and podcaster, will be deputy director of the FBI.

Pope Francis 'in good spirit' but doctors give no update on his condition Fears have been growing about the pontiff’s condition after he was admitted to the hospital on Feb. 14, later experiencing breathing difficulties and being diagnosed with "double pneumonia."

Pope Francis was conscious, eating and in “good spirit,” a Vatican source said Monday, as worries persisted around the pontiff's kidney and lung problems that have left him in the hospital for over a week.

Right-Wing Commentator Named F.B.I. Deputy Director (Gift Article) The choice of Dan Bongino is a radical departure from the bureau’s history of having a veteran agent serve in the key role that oversees operations.

“The choice of Mr. Bongino is a radical and abrupt departure from that practice and raises startling questions about how two people who have never served as F.B.I. agents will oversee the vast surveillance and investigative powers of an agency of 38,000 people…”

We do. But the U.S. is the world’s biggest military force.

Mafia shakedown.

Now the silencing threats are in place.

The find-out phase has just begun.

We have some unconventional fighting forces up here. #Not51 #FlagDay 🇨🇦
