WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed legislation Wednesday that compels his administration to release files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, bowing to political pressure from his own party after initially resisting those efforts.

This Harvard-educated civil rights lawyer was laid off from the DOE—now she’s fighting back

Sheria Smith was living her professional dream before getting laid off from the U.S. Department of Education. A Harvard graduate who’d helped children as a teacher before becoming a lawyer, Smith pursued public service over fancy, high-paid corporate positions early in her career so she could give back.

WASHINGTON (AP) — They were warned that criticism of Israel’s conduct during its war on Hamas in Gaza could cost them politically. But in the four months since Israel’s blistering offensive was ignited by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, progressives in Congress who have called for a cease-fire are seeing record fundraising dollars as they fight to remain in office.
