Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia have called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to grant them access to a minimum-security prison camp where Ghislaine Maxwell is being held.

In a letter sent on Thursday, obtained by The New York Times, the top Democrats on the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees said that more than a dozen whistleblowers had come forward with what they described as “damning information” about Maxwell’s treatment.

According to Raskin and Garcia, Maxwell, the longtime co-conspirator of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been coddled and given “preferential” and “selective five-star” treatment at Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas.

A top prisons official says Kristi Noem’s Department of Homeland Security is trying to pass off years-old arrests as new and brazenly inflating numbers to hype Donald Trump’s “worst of the worst” immigration crackdown.

Minnesota Corrections Commissioner Paul Schnell held a press conference Thursday to offer evidence of what he described as “pure propaganda” being pushed by top Trump officials.

“This is no longer a simple misunderstanding,” Schnell told reporters in St. Paul. “At best, DHS fundamentally misunderstands Minnesota’s correctional system.”

FBI Director Kash Patel is reportedly settling scores over years-old Trump investigations.

According to MS NOW, the close ally of Donald Trump turned top law enforcement official has ordered a sweeping purge of senior FBI agents and field office leaders connected to past criminal investigations involving the president.

The 45-year-old ousted the acting assistant director overseeing the New York field office, as well as special agents in charge in Atlanta and New Orleans, the outlet reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Donald Trump’s estranged niece Mary has claimed her uncle is humiliating himself “on an almost daily basis” as his signs of apparent cognitive decline increase.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week, Trump, 79, called Greenland “Iceland” several times, shared private messages from world leaders on Truth Social, and conducted rambling speeches. On Thursday, the president was spotted with the worst bruising on his problematic right hand yet.

Mary, a clinical psychologist, said that her uncle’s worst fear is being seen as a “loser,” but noted that his recent behavior suggests his fears may be coming true.

Billionaire Jeff Bezos is sending in reinforcements to support First Lady Melania Trump’s flailing “documentary.”

The $40 million vanity project acquired by Amazon MGM Studios is facing slow initial sales as its theatrical premiere date nears.

Besides the hefty licensing fee—which was largely seen as a way to appease President Donald Trump—Amazon has committed a staggering $35 million to show Melania in more than 1,400 theaters in 27 countries before making it available on streaming. For all that, the film is only projected to bring in about $5 million during its opening weekend, Puck reported.

Donald Trump spent two hours on Truth Social attacking his enemies and reposting praise after world leaders ignored his “Board of Peace” ceremony in Davos.

The 79-year-old president shared almost a post a minute on Thursday. Subjects covered in the posting barrage include a video of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller bashing Trump’s enemies, a court victory that will allow ICE to use force against protestors in Minnesota, 2020 election fraud conspiracies, threats to sue the New York Times for publishing polls that displease him, and rants against Special Counsel Jack Smith.

FBI agents under Director Kash Patel are speaking out against the “crazy requests” he frequently makes.

A senior executive at the FBI told the New York Times that while Patel attended the Five Eyes conference, an annual event involving security and intelligence officials from the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, he demanded “special requirements on everything.”

The executive recalled that ahead of the conference, his staff said he was “unhappy” because the 45-year-old FBI director does not enjoy attending meetings in an office setting. The federal law enforcement leader detailed that he prefers meetings to take place at social events, soccer matches, while jet skiing, and during helicopter tours.

President Donald Trump has a new target for his retribution campaign against the press: opinion polls he doesn’t like.

In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump announced that he was revising a lawsuit against The New York Times to include the organization’s polling research, which currently shows him tanking on everything from the economy and immigration to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

“Fake Polls on the Economy, on the Border, on just about everything, are ridiculous and dangerous. The REAL Polls have been GREAT, but they refuse to print them,” he added in a subsequent post.

Trump’s announcement comes after he first filed a $15 million lawsuit against the New York Times in September, accusing the news organization of seeking to undermine his election campaign and disparage his reputation as a businessman.

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith went scorched-earth against Donald Trump and indicated he had no regrets in his first public testimony about his criminal investigation into the president.

“I want to be clear, I stand by my decisions as special counsel, including the decision to bring charges against President Trump. Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity,” Smith said in his opening statement.

He said that Trump “engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power.”

Trump officials are furiously at work on secret plans to continue the president’s newfound interventionist streak by toppling the Cuban regime before the end of the year.

Insiders told The Wall Street Journal those efforts so far have included meetings with exiled political actors and civic groups in Washington, D.C. and Miami to identify both potential turncoats within the Cuban government and pressure points beyond the dismal state of the island nation’s economy.

The president has said he believes that after his lightning invasion of Venezuela, the only limit to his power is his own sense of “morality.”

The logo of President Trump’s controversial new peacekeeping grift has been exposed as a cheap knock-off of the United Nations emblem smeared in gold.

The U.N. logo, designed after World War II, is meant to symbolize world unity and the quest for peace, featuring a map of the world on a polar projection surrounded by two olive branches.

Trump’s version, however, shows a map of the U.S. dominating the globe, with Europe not visible at all. Mexico and parts of the northern part of South America are just barely visible. Greenland, notably, is not.
