The Epstein emails are here, and now we know why Republicans were hellbent on keeping them hidden. What will it take to see the rest?

Will Trump actually make good on his threat to sue the BBC for tortious editing?

How bad did LARP-ing US Attorney Lindsey Halligan fall on her face today in the Comey and James cases?

And for subscribers: The GOP invents new math to steal a congressional seat. A Republican judge blocks it. Then … pitchforks.
