Justice Department Fires Prosecutor Who
Handled ‘Diddy,’ Epstein Cases
Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/16/2025 8:59:37 PM
The U.S. Department of Justice has fired Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey and a federal prosecutor who worked on cases against Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jeffrey Epstein. The reason for her firing remains unclear. Maurene Comey, an assistant U.S. attorney in the southern district of New York, most recently led the prosecution of Sean “Diddy” Combs. The rapper was convicted of a prostitution-related charge this month but acquitted of more serious charges. Maurene Comey had previously prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell, the former associate of Epstein who helped the financier run his child sex trafficking ring.

California's embattled high-speed rail project suffered a major setback after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the termination of $4 billion in unspent federal funding by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA).
Citing 16 years of failure, no completed high-speed track, and escalating costs, Duffy declared the project, dubbed the "train to nowhere," a mismanaged and over-budget "boondoggle."
"This is California’s fault. Governor Newsom and the complicit Democrats have enabled this waste for years. Federal dollars are not a blank check – they come with a promise to deliver results," Duffy said in a statement.
Democrats are counting on a big victory in 2026 to bring their party out of political purgatory, but things aren't exactly going according to plan. CNN's data guru, Harry Enten, offered a "reality check" on Wednesday, citing the current polling numbers compared to what we were seeing in 2018.
Traditionally, out-of-power parties have an advantage across multiple fundamentals in midterm elections. That's not materializing, though. Not yet, anyway, and as I'll discuss, that's a big problem for Democrats for one simple reason. I have to wonder how much Enten is liked over at CNN, given his job often becomes quashing the unbridled narratives of his left-wing colleagues.

A cockpit recording of dialogue between the two pilots of the Air India flight that crashed last month indicates the captain cut the flow of fuel to the plane's engines, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. The newspaper cited people familiar with U.S. officials' early assessment of evidence uncovered in the investigation into the June 12 crash in Ahmedabad, India, that killed 260 people.
The first officer, who was flying the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, asked the more experienced captain why he moved the fuel switches to the "cutoff" position seconds after lifting off the runway, the report said.
The two pilots involved were Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kunder
Late-night dramatics and surprise defections capped off the push to advance President Donald Trump’s multibillion-dollar clawback package through procedural hurdles, but now lawmakers are nearing the finish line.
Lawmakers cruised through hours of debate on Trump’s $9 billion rescissions package Wednesday morning and are now entering into another vote-a-rama, where both sides of the aisle can offer an unlimited number of amendments to the package.
At stake are clawbacks that would yank back congressionally approved funding for foreign aid programs and public broadcasting, which Senate Democrats, and some Republicans, have admonished.
Donald Trump is once again angry, but this time his ire is directed at a new audience: his own MAGA supporters.
In a blistering post on Truth Social on Wednesday morning, Trump continued to push his backers to stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein, an issue that has driven what appears to be one of the most significant rifts between him and the political movement he built.
“Let those weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work,” he wrote. “Don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore.”

The lengthy post on Truth Social represents the clearest split from the faction of his MAGA base that has questioned the Justice Department’s handling of the case.

Republican prospects for keeping the House of Representatives in 2026 have been hanging on by a thread, but President Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott are getting ready to execute an end run around that.
In a move that left Democrats stunned and fuming, Abbott has called a special session so that the GOP-controlled legislature can redraw the Texas congressional lines. That came after the Trump-led DOJ found that several districts in the state were likely illegal gerrymanders. The projection is that Republicans could pick up as many as five seats, most of which would be in the Rio Grande area.
General Motors has announced plans to expand production of gas-powered vehicles and SUVs in Michigan as well as the manufacturing of pickup trucks.
The Detroit-based auto manufacturer said in a statement on Tuesday that it will “begin production of the Cadillac Escalade, as well as the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light duty pickups at Orion Assembly in early 2027 to help meet continued strong customer demand.”
According to CNBC, the Escalade is produced in Arlington, Texas, while the Silverado and Sierra trucks are made at an assembly plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which will continue to produce the vehicles.
Carville: Epstein ‘a Distraction’
8 replies
On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” Democratic strategist James Carville called the controversy related to the release of government records about the late Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged wrongdoing a “distraction” for Democrats.
Carville argued Democrats should focus on the so-called Big, Beautiful Bill passed earlier this month by the GOP-led Congress.
“James, do you look at Democratic voters as caffeinated and energized as the ambassador says?” CNN host Anderson Cooper said.
“Well, you can’t help but do it,” Carville replied. “I mean, you look at these primary results and you look at general election results, I mean, it’s sporadic and it’s off-year. And I think the Democrats have just this wonderful opportunity,
President Donald Trump indicated that he supported Attorney General Pam Bondi, stating that she had handled files relating to convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein “very well.”
When speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump revealed that Bondi had given him a “very quick briefing” regarding the memo released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and added that the files were “made up by” former FBI Director James Comey and former President Barack Obama, ABC News reported.
Trump’s response comes after the DOJ and FBI released a memo that found that there was no evidence that Epstein had a client list, and that an investigation
A gerontocracy runs the Democratic Party, so it is natural that the next generation of Democrats is eager to push the old guard out and bring in some fresh blood.
The problem they have is that the next generation of Democrats is absolutely insane. Last year, it looked like the old guard still had some fight in them. For much of the year, Joe Biden remained the Democratic Party's candidate for president, and AOC lost her bid to become the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. That loss was particularly galling to the younger set, as the winner was Congressman Gerry Connolly, who died

Hunter Biden said in a new interview that Democrats lost the November election to President Trump because they weren’t loyal to his father, former President Biden. (Snip) “And I will tell you why we lost the last election. We lost the election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party. That’s my position,” he told Harrison, according to the excerpt. “We had the advantage of incumbency. We had advantage of an incredibly successful administration and the Democratic Party literally melted down.” The remarks are a part of a broader interview Harrison did with the former president’s
Vice President JD Vance cast two tie-breaking votes in the Senate Tuesday to move forward a $9.4B rescissions package — which would rip federal funding from PBS and NPR — in the upper chamber.
The Senate deadlocked, 50-50, on two procedural votes to start debate on the multibillion-dollar spending clawback package before Vance’s votes advanced the measure requested by the White House.
Three Republicans – Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) – joined all Democrats in opposition to the bill.

Seventeen immigration court judges have been fired in recent days, according to the union that represents them, as the Trump administration pushes forward with its mass deportations of immigrants in the country.
The International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, which represents immigration court judges as well as other professionals, said in a news release that 15 judges were fired “without cause” on Friday and another two on Monday. The union said they were working in courts in 10 different states across the country — California, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Texas, Utah and Virginia.
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday afternoon, July 16 that Coca-Cola has agreed to use real cane sugar for its soda beverages sold in the U.S.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security deported several illegal immigrants, including those convicted of serious crimes like murder and child rape, to a tiny land-locked nation in southern Africa.
DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin announced the move in an X post late Tuesday.
"A safe third country deportation flight to Eswatini in Southern Africa has landed— This flight took individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back," she wrote. "These depraved monsters have been terrorizing American communities, but thanks to [President Trump] (and) [DHS Secretary Kristi Noem], they are off of American soil."
Have fun in *checks notes* Eswatini, gentleman.

Many of us can recall when Barack Obama eagerly proclaimed on the eve of his election "we are five days away from transforming the United States of America" to thundering cheers of adoration back in 2008.
Very few failed to ask why America, a constitutional republic, with self-governance as its cornerstone, would need a transformation; and what would America be transformed into?
What if Barack Obama was a fraud, a communist Muslim plant ensconced into the highest echelons of our government by the U.N. and the World Economic Forum
During a heated exchange on CNN, Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky and anchor Abby Phillip went berserk after Scott Jennings pointed out a simple, inconvenient truth: Under President Donald Trump, the price of eggs has dropped — just as he promised.
It all started when Jennings highlighted the economic success of Trump’s policies. “The core CPI forecast was 3%. It came in at 2.9. For the five months of Trump’s administration, inflation has matched or beat expectations,” he said. He added that the economy is “booming with new investments” and that the administration has reason to be “bullish on America.” Jennings pointed to Trump’s push to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent
The Republican Party doesn’t make it easy. With these razor-thin majorities, nothing will be easy. And one way to blow it is not over the Epstein files. Please, we’re not losing the midterms over that, but granting amnesty to illegal aliens could do it.
What the hell even is this? With the Senate trying to pass President Trump’s rescissions package, which codifies $9 billion in cuts—a test of sorts for another run with deeper reductions—the House Republicans felt it was incumbent upon them to hash out an immigration compromise with some of the worst people. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) might as well be a Democrat,
