Rep. Jerry Nadler to Retire After More
Than Three Decades in Congress
Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/2/2025 12:01:03 AM
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), the former House Judiciary Committee chairman who helped lead the impeachments of then-former President Donald Trump, announced on Monday that he will not seek reelection in 2026, ending a 34-year tenure that placed him at the center of Democratic politics in New York and on the national stage. Rep. Jerry Nadler, 78, confirmed that he will retire at the close of his current term, saying his decision was shaped by growing calls for generational change within the Democratic Party. “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,”

A political storm broke out on September 5 after House Speaker Mike Johnson declared that President Donald Trump acted as an FBI informant in efforts to take down Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network. Speaking during a press briefing, Johnson insisted Trump “wasn’t calling Epstein a hoax” but instead recognised the “unspeakable evil” involved, citing Trump’s decision to bar Epstein from Mar-a-Lago in the mid-2000s.
Johnson added that Trump had discussed the matter with him as recently as September 4, describing him as “deeply sympathetic” to Epstein’s victims. His comments echoed a hot mic conversation involving Rep. Mike Collins earlier in the week, first picked up by reporters in Washington.
A 2019 mission in North Korea, which intended to have Navy SEALs plant an electronic device to intercept communications of the country’s leader Kim Jong Un, resulted in an unsuccessful operation that left unarmed North Koreans dead, according to a report from the New York Times on Friday.
The mission, which took place during President Donald Trump’s first term, required the president’s direct approval, the Times reports, and came amid high-level nuclear talks between the US and North Korea.
The White House and Pentagon declined to comment.
There's a Wednesday afternoon ruling out of the Massachusetts District Court in the Harvard funding case brought against the Trump administration by the university and several organizations challenging the administration's decision to freeze and ultimately terminate nearly $2.2 billion in federal grants to Harvard.
The New York Times is describing it largely as a win for Harvard — and it is, in some respects, but not in all of them:
Harvard University won a crucial legal victory in its clash with the Trump administration on Wednesday, when a federal judge said that the government had broken the law by freezing billions of dollars in research funds.
Months after a bitter public feud, US President Donald Trump has softened his tone toward former ally Elon Musk. Speaking on the Scott Jennings Show in an interview recorded Tuesday, Trump indicated that Musk’s political future would inevitably lead him back to the Republican Party.
"I don’t think he has a choice," Trump said, framing Musk’s options as a choice between the GOP on one side and "radical left lunatics" on the other. Despite their past differences, Trump largely complimented the billionaire and downplayed the dispute. "He’s a good man. He got off the reservation, incorrectly, and that’s okay, because, you know, it’s just one of those things," Trump added.
Paramount is on the verge of acquiring Bari Weiss’ right-leaning Free Press news organization, with Weiss set for a top role in running CBS News, TheWrap has learned.
The deal, which is being finalized by Paramount’s lawyers and was first reported by Puck on Wednesday, sets CBS News on a course for a more conservative approach in line with CEO David Ellison’s vision. TheWrap’s reporting suggests it’s likely that Weiss will run CBS News.
Weiss, who founded Free Press in 2022 after leaving the New York Times where she was an opinion columnist,
Folks, if there’s one thing Donald Trump has mastered, it’s the art of memetic provocation. He’s basically the Troll Master General at this point.
This week, he revealed in an interview he’d be adding a portrait of Joe Biden’s autopen — yes, the autopen, not Biden himself — to his “Presidential Wall of Fame” in the newly renovated White House Rose Garden.
That was fantastic, but the encore may have been better.
Let’s put it this way: Former Obama and Biden staffers might want to check their LinkedIn profiles.
The White House set off a social media frenzy after it swapped out its official LinkedIn
In a surprise move on Tuesday evening, the House Oversight Committee released over 33,000 pages of records pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein, obtained via subpoena directed to the Department of Justice.
WASHINGTON—Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released 33,295 pages of Epstein-related records that were provided by the U.S. Department of Justice. On August 5, Chairman Comer issued a subpoena for records related to Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, and the Department of Justice has indicated it will continue producing those records while ensuring the redaction of victim identities and any child sexual abuse material.
Epstein-related documents can be found here.

A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that U.S. President Donald Trump unlawfully invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans he alleged were part of a criminal gang.
In a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a preliminary injunction that blocked the Trump administration from removing a group of Venezuelans under the seldom-used 18th-century law. The Fifth Circuit is the first federal appeals court to rule directly on a March 14 presidential proclamation invoking the 1798 law to justify rapid deportations.
Circuit Judge Leslie Southwick, writing for the two-judge majority, rejected the Trump administration's assertion that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua
During a presser outside Eagan, Minnesota’s Deerwood Elementary Tuesday, Gov. Tim Walz (D) confirmed he will call an emergency gun control session and criticized the number of guns and “type of guns” in circulation in America.
FOX 9 quoted Walz saying, “The thing that makes America unique in terms of shootings is we just have more guns and the wrong types of guns are on the streets.”
He went on to admit that he is going to need some Republicans to cross the aisle and vote with Democrats in order to secure his gun control package.
Walz added, “If Minnesota lets this moment slide and we determine it’s OK
Republicans in Florida have a massive, growing voter registration advantage in the Sunshine State, the Republican Party of Florida Chairman Evan Power announced this week.
“Good Morning! Your @FloridaGOP voter registration advantage is now 1,333,502,” Power recently announced. On Tuesday, the Florida GOP updated the figures, boasting of a 1.353 million Republican voter advantage statewide. Per the emailed press release, the Florida GOP also holds a “37,000-voter lead (nearly 3 points) in Miami-Dade and a 2.15-point advantage in Hillsborough County.” “Florida Republicans are on the march. Our grassroots leaders and volunteers are delivering historic results
Mayor Muriel Bowser Directs D.C. Police

to Coordinate with Federal Law Enforcement Indefinitely 8 replies
Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) issued an executive order Tuesday directing the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) to work and cooperate with federal law enforcement officials indefinitely.
A press release from Bowser’s office stated that the mayor’s order “continues the work of the Safe and Beautiful Emergency Operations Center (SBEOC) in managing the District’s response to the Safe and Beautiful Task Force,” which was established by President Donald Trump.
The order from Bowser comes as Trump in early August announced that he was “officially invoking section 740 of the district of Columbia Home Rule Act” and that the MPD would be placed under “direct federal control.” Trump also activated the National Guard.
The Young Latino Swing to Trump Is Real
5 replies
For all the bellyaching, posturing, proselytizing, and threats of violence both implied and precise, the immigration enforcement operations that Trump's Department of Homeland Security has been running across the country don't seem to be having an impact on at least one surprising segment of the voting population - young, Latino voters, especially males.
Even before Trump was officially sworn in and Tom Homan's leash came off, there were signs that an inexplicable rightward shift was happening. For example, as much as it had to hurt them, NBC's national exit polls on Election Day had big red warning flags among the typically loyal Democratic demographic for nervous Harris supporters.

It was a busy week. President Trump didn’t talk to reporters for two days, and Democrats started a rumor that he was dead. Trump threatened to crack down on crime in Chicago, and Democrats protested. The administration terminated a group of drug traffickers with extreme prejudice, to the dismay of liberals. And there was much more. But it was Greta Thunberg–specifically, her haircut–that more than anything else, provided material for meme-makers.
Here we go with this week’s collection:
Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., sparked a social media firestorm on Thursday for saying she does not "give a sh--" whether people in her district can vote for her in a rebuke of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
During a press conference on Capitol Hill on Thursday, Ansari was asked about her use of the term "constituents" while criticizing the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts.
"So, I didn’t realize this was such a controversy until the right-wing media started attacking me for using the word, so I Googled the word constituent. The definition of constituent is somebody who is part of a community, doesn’t matter what their legal status is," Ansari said.
Was floating a ban on trans people owning guns just some basement-level idiot’s idea for “owning the libs”?
In the wake of Robin Westman’s deadly Minneapolis rampage, some troll in the bowels of the Trump Justice Department reportedly proposed blocking trans people from buying firearms by declaring them all “mentally ill.”
This, of course, is absurd as a simple matter of law: No rule that strips a (dubiously-defined) group of their Second Amendment rights has any chance of holding up in court.
And if it did somehow survive, that’s an open invitation for future progs to create their own “mentally ill by definition” categories — deployable to limit lots of other rights.
Dearborn Heights, Michigan, Mayor Bill Bazzi announced Friday that the new Arabic police patch was not “official” — but didn’t rule out adopting such a badge of surrender in the future.
A Facebook post from the police department posted earlier this week read: “The Dearborn Heights Police Department [DHPD] is proud to share a new optional patch that our officers may wear as part of their uniform,” (snip)
The patch, according to the post (which appears to have since been removed), “incorporat[ed] Arabic script alongside English” and was “designed … to reflect and honor the diversity of our community – especially the many residents of Arabic descent who call Dearborn Heights home,”

The Los Angeles Police Department has pulled its cops from a security detail at Kamala Harris’ Brentwood, California home after outrage that crime-fighting units were being diverted to guard the former vice president. A dozen Metro Division officers had been stationed outside Harris’ mansion after President Trump revoked her Secret Service protection last week, ending an extension granted by Biden. The short-lived detail drew fury inside the department. “Pulling police officers from protecting everyday Angelenos to protect a failed presidential candidate who also happens to be a multi-millionaire … and who can easily afford to pay for her own security, is nuts,” the Los Angeles Police Protective League’s board said.
President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is terminating former President Joe Biden’s 2021 designation that gave Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants living in the United States.
This week, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that the administration would end Biden’s TPS for nearly 270,000 Venezuelan migrants with no other legal status to be in the U.S. by September 10(snip)

The Dearborn Heights Police Department in Michigan has announced an "optional patch" that includes text in both Arabic and English.
The patch includes the words "DEARBORN HEIGHTS" and "POLICE" written in both English and Arabic.
"The Dearborn Heights Police Department is proud to share a new optional patch that our officers may wear as part of their uniform," the department noted in a Facebook post.
"This patch was created by Officer Emily Murdoch, who designed it to reflect and honor the diversity of our community - especially the many residents of Arabic descent who call Dearborn Heights home.
The most audacious anti-government protest inside China for years took months of elaborate planning.
Qi Hong, a former factory worker, first had to source a powerful enough projector to display his message onto a high rise building.
Then he had to install the device, covering his tracks as he prepared to stage the demonstration on the eve of China’s massive military parade, hosted by leader Xi Jinping.
And finally, he had to get to a safe distance.
When the lights flickered on – illuminating in giant letters “Down with red fascism; overthrow the tyranny of the Communist Party” – Mr Qi was somewhere in Britain, hiding with his family.
Come on, civil war in Europe was inevitable. The New World Order Globalist Oppressors built a system that is failing so hard, not one sector of any of their captured economies is working properly. Europe is in a recession directly as a result of the bone-headed policies. The working people of every country are fit to be tied and September 13th is looking to be the day of days of protest in the U.K.with millions on the street. Instead of the pierced and purple-haired scavenger class littering the cities with their puffy bodies and wrecked minds, these are the people who make the country work.And they have considerable economic power.
After announcing he won’t seek a third term, uber liberal Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers — the palest man in politics — looks like he’s preparing to burn the mother down.
As the MacIver Institute reported this week, Evers is using his recently expanded power to erase mothers and motherhood via trans-agenda friendly language in state Department of Health Services programs.
The Evers administration’s Clearinghouse Rule 25-004 redefines, among other gender-specific terms, “pregnant women” as “pregnant persons” in a forced new administrative rule. The language swap trades “Pregnant woman” for “pregnant member(s).”
“This rule makes it crystal clear: in the Evers-Rodriguez administration,
What do you call it when 9 people are killed and 52 wounded in Chicago? Labor Day weekend. And what can you say about a governor and mayor who, despite all that bloodshed, not only refuse federal help, but rally their citizens to resist that help? A former Chicago police official opined that Democrats fear Trump stepping in because it exposes their inability to control the chaos they’ve enabled.
Like in many blue cities, Chicago’s violent crime rate is a feature, not a bug, of soft-on-crime policies. Yet, hilariously, a Chicago Democrat is begging Trump to save the city, proving that even some leftists
