My Fear Is That The DOJ Has Already Destroyed Most of the Epstein Files

Former New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas is offering to assist two ongoing state investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, marking his first official involvement in the matter since leaving office in 2022, he exclusively tells Scripps News.

Balderas, who launched New Mexico’s investigation into Epstein in 2019, says federal authorities effectively shut his office out after he began pursuing evidence related to allegations connected to Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. Epstein, a convicted sex offender, owned the sprawling Zorro Ranch near Stanley, New Mexico, where multiple women have alleged they were abused as young girls and women.

House committee urges DOJ to charge former Trump prosecutor Jack Smith
The Republican chair of the House Judiciary Committee encouraged the Justice Department to look into criminally charging Jack Smith, alleging the former special counsel who brought charges against President Trump lied to Congress — allegations Smith's lawyers called "spurious."

Jack Smith on Trump’s behavior on January 6, 2021: “He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s evidence for criminal intent in our case.” (2025)

The House took its first step toward banning lawmakers from trading stocks while in office, the latest effort by Congress to crack down on insider trading inside the political realm.

Lawmakers voted 232-198 mostly along party lines to approve the Stop Insider Trading Act..."Republicans are trying to pull a trick this week. They say we are voting on an 'insider trading' bill, but have snuck in massive SAVE Act-style voter suppression measures to it," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said in a post on social media. "This is a GOP effort to sabotage national mail-in voting, disguised as a trading ban."

Congress Chose This Convoluted Chaos

Dozens of states are going to have to start forking over more money to fund SNAP (or end up cutting food assistance) if they don’t get their error rates in check.

With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill last year, the Trump administration put states on notice: If they don’t get their error rates under control, they’ll lose partial federal funding for SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as Food Stamps), starting with the 2028 fiscal year.

The target is an error rate under 6%, but few states are meeting that benchmark. In fact, in the latest batch of data released in June, there were more states with double the target rate than states that fell under it.

 Tech industry players have poured millions of dollars into Rep. Byron Donalds’ campaign for Florida governor — and the money keeps flowing even as the Trump-endorsed GOP front-runner has seemingly shifted his stance on regulating the technologies’ presence in Florida.

Since Donalds launched his campaign in February 2025, he’s received dozens of contributions from artificial intelligence groups and donors as well as from multiple companies seeking to build hyperscale data centers in Florida.

Why is there never an outbreak of something good?

Like an epidemic of common sense.
