On Monday, the Justice Department and FBI released a joint memo aimed at putting the saga of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to rest. It described how an exhaustive investigation had led to the same conclusions we’ve heard before: Epstein died by suicide in a prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial, and there is no evidence that he kept a “client list” of political elites and celebrities he could blackmail over involvement in his trafficking ring.

Those answers, of course, did not sit well with the significant portion...

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s bromance appears to be over after the president and the world’s richest man went after each other with a vengeance on Thursday. Trump implied Musk’s opposition to his legislative agenda is the result of Trump Derangement Syndrome, called the Tesla billionaire “Crazy,” and threatened to cancel Musk’s federal contracts. Musk called Trump “sad,” alleged the president is on the Epstein list, and even suggested he should be impeached.

It’s one of the wildest political breakups in recent memory, and, yes,...

The death threats were the first clue. On March 7, Laura Jane Grace played her new song, “Your God (God’s Dick),” at a Bernie Sanders “Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here” event in Wisconsin. A bawdy, and, yes, profane, sing-along, the track was meant to be a protest against the religious right’s censoring and discriminating against trans people. But to right-wing influencers and politicians, it was just blasphemy.

“I’m not being profane to be profane,” Grace says. “I’m not just saying ‘dick’ to say ‘dick.’ I’m asking a genuine question.

Today, Elon Musk‘s X feed offered the usual mix of paranoid politics, attacks on Democrats and government agencies, and content from accounts affiliated with President Donald Trump (who still prefers his own web platform, Truth Social). But mixed in were a number of posts about Tesla, the electric vehicle manufacturer that still counts him as CEO despite his seemingly full-time commitment to the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), a task force firing thousands of government workers as it torches the administrative state.

Musk posted, for example, a TikTok...

Following the police killing of George Floyd in 2020, protests erupted across the nation. As millions of Americans took to the streets to protest police brutality and black squares flooded Instagram, corporations scrambled to declare their dedication to fighting racial injustices and integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion programs throughout their company policies.

Four and half years later, many of those same corporations that pledged their unwavering commitment to creating a safer work culture and fairer opportunities for the Black community have begun to quietly roll back many of their initiatives. On Monday,...

In June of last year, Nashville drag queen Veronika Electronika arrived at a studio space for what she was told was an interview on her views regarding the struggles faced by children in the trans community, and how the lives and mental health of LGBTQ+ people were being affected by the recent slew of bans and restrictions on gender-affirming medical and drag performances.

Elektronika did not recognize her first interviewer, a woman she chatted with for several minutes before a man she did know entered the room.

“I have a question for you guys,...

Jenna Ellis smiled in her mugshot. The former Trump attorney who was indicted alongside him and 17 others over an alleged conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results even made the Fulton County booking photo her profile picture on Twitter. “Those who mock me, my former client, and my God want to see me break and they aren’t going to get that satisfaction,” she told The New York Times in August.

On Tuesday, through tears, Jenna Ellis accepted a plea deal from Georgia prosecutors. Five years probation and some community service...

Responding to an eruption of deadly violence between Hamas militants and Israeli Defense Forces that threatens to claim many more lives in the days ahead, Donald Trump and far-right allies are using the crisis to push a familiar anti-immigration narrative back home. According to Maga world, Hamas won’t stop at launching a surprise attack on Israel from Gaza — they’ve also infiltrated the U.S. via the Mexican border.

“The same people that raided Israel are pouring into our once beautiful USA, through our Totally Open Southern Border, at Record Numbers,...

Three people who were interviewed in the anti-trans film What Is a Woman? say the filmmakers used deceptive recruiting tactics that contradicted the doc’s promise to be a “fearless” examination of the modern gender debate.

The participants told NBC News that they felt they’d been “tricked” by producers who hid behind the facade of flattering and vague language. Dr. Marci Bowers, a California surgeon whose patients include trans women, provided the outlet with what she referred to as a “completely deceptive” email from a producer. According to a copy provided to NBC News,...

Megan Hunt had a bad feeling, just not at first.

The Nebraska state senator had been approached in May about participating in a documentary titled It Takes a Village, which she was told would air in August and spotlight “issues facing children and parents in the trans community and how it relates to our future as a society,” according to emails shared with Rolling Stone. Hunt, who has a trans child and has advocated for trans rights in the state legislature, was on board.

But after growing suspicious and doing some research,...

After Megan Fox fired back at the allegations she forces her sons to wear girl’s clothes, causing a Twitter war between her and former neighbor Robby Starbuck, Elon Musk has interjected himself in the conversation.

Musk has decided to troll Fox on Twitter, the platform which he owns. On Sunday he tweeted, “Looking to hire a VP of Witchcraft & Propaganda.”

This comes after Starbuck went onto Twitter to claim that Fox makes her boys wear girls’ clothing even though they don’t want to.

After being accused of making her three sons wear “girls’ clothes,” Megan Fox has hit back at the man who started the rumors.

Robby Starbuck, a music video director who was Fox’s neighbor, went on Twitter to vent about the actress this weekend.

He posted a photo from a tabloid of Fox and her three kids and wrote, “These are Megan Fox’s sons. We used to live in the same gated community and our kids played at the park. I saw 2 of them have a full-on breakdown saying they were forced by their mom to wear girls’ clothes as their nanny tried to console them. It’s pure child abuse. Pray for them.”

In the comments, he added to his original statement. “There was another witness + the nanny when the boys did this,” he wrote. “We knew California wouldn’t do anything about it because the state celebrates...

Megan Fox is speaking out after politician Robby Starbuck claimed she "forces" her three children to wear "girls' clothes" on Twitter. On Sunday, Fox responded by sharing a screenshot of the politician's initial tweet, which featured a photo of her children alongside a message for Starbuck on Instagram.

"Hey @robbystarbuck i really don't want to give you this attention because clearly youre a clout chaser," she began. "But let me teach you something… irregardless [sic] of how desperate you may become at any given time to acquire wealth, power, success, or fame - never use children as leverage or social currency. especially under malevolent and erroneous pretense."

Fox continued, "exploiting my child's gender identity to gain attention in your political campaign has put you on the wrong side of the universe." She went on to say she has been "burned at the stake by insecure narcissistic impotent little men like you...

Brian Austin Green won’t stand for anyone accusing his ex-wife Megan Fox of “child abuse.”

A self-proclaimed “free thinker” and former US Congress candidate, Robby Starbuck, tweeted a photo of Fox and her three kids on Thursday with a disparaging allegation.

“We used to live in the same gated community and our kids played at the park,” the netizen claimed before adding: “I saw 2 of them have a full on breakdown saying they were forced by their mom to wear girls clothes as their nanny tried to console them.”

Starbuck then alleged: “It’s pure child abuse. Pray for them.”

The New York Times is being torn to shreds for its review of “The Little Mermaid,” but not for any reason you’re likely imagining. Twitter users criticized the publication and critic Wesley Morris for saying that the children’s movie lacked “kink.”

“Disney’s live-action remake of ‘The Little Mermaid,’ with Halle Bailey starring as Ariel and a diverse cast, ‘reeks of obligation and noble intentions,’ Wesley Morris writes,” the viral tweet read. “‘Joy, fun, mystery, risk, flavor, kink — they’re missing.'”

There are few things more coveted in Republican politics than Donald Trump’s endorsement, but we now know at least one circumstance where even that’s not enough.

Republicans in Tennessee voted on Tuesday to remove former State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus from the ballot in a crowded August primary to represent the state’s 5th Congressional District, currently held by retiring Democrat Jim Cooper. Ortagus, as a former Trump administration employee, entered the race with the former president’s “complete and total endorsement” locked up, but there was just...

Conservative members of the Congress are reportedly encouraging Kid Rock to run for a Tennessee House seat in the 2022 midterms.

Politico reported on Friday that “some Maga members of Congress” are recruiting Kid Rock to run in Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District. The rapper and country music star, however, has given no indication that he is even thinking about running, although he did reportedly joke to one member of Congress who is pushing him to entry the fray that he wouldn’t rule it out because his Michigan “campaign” was so lucrative,...

On Saturday morning, as worshipers were gathering at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh for Shabbat services, a gunman opened fire and killed 11 people.

CNN host Don Lemon took heat on Thursday and Friday after doubling down on his show’s criticism of rapper Kanye West. On Thursday evening, Lemon said West’s Oval Office meeting with President Trump reminded him of a “minstrel show” and brought up West’s dead mother to make his point.

“What I saw was a Minstrel show today,” Lemon said making an unusual appearance on “The Situation Room.” “This was an embarrassment, Kanye’s mother is rolling over in her grave.”

West’s mother, Donda West, died in 2007 after botched cosmetic surgery.

Two former Obama staffers are defending White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson amid conspiracy theories that he gave false information about Donald Trump’s weight after the president’s routine physical exam last week.

Jackson was appointed to his role by former President Barack Obama in 2013.

Alyssa Mastromonaco, who served as Obama’s former deputy chief of staff for operations, and Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior adviser to Obama, described the White House doctor in tweets as a “saint and a patriot” who “took great care of all of us for many years.”
