TNR reporter Edith Olmsted wrote that “A 21-page slideshow buried in the massive trove of Epstein-related documents included allegations that sometime between 1983 and 1985, Trump forced a woman to give him oral sex when she was in her early teens,” Olmsted wrote. “When the woman bit down on Trump’s exposed penis, he allegedly punched her in the head and kicked her out.

"The same approach is followed in Greenland," Frederiksen added.

On February 5, an ice sculpture titled “Prosecute ICE” was displayed outside the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul by the veteran-led group Common Defense.

As the trump administration continues to use Navy personnel for military action off Venezuela, I'd like to remind everyone of what trump did December 1, 2025 when he pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández. Juan Orlando Hernández is the former Honduran president. He was convicted in a U.S. federal court on March 8, 2024, of three counts of drug trafficking and weapons conspiracy. Prosecutors proved he participated in a 18-year-long conspiracy to transport over 400 tons of U.S.-bound cocaine through Honduras, starting as far back as 2004. He did more as did his brother... Last month, Trump cheered a military assault by U.S. forces that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and brought them to the U.S. to face charges related to cocaine trafficking. Maduro, trump said, led a “vicious cartel” that “flooded our nation with lethal poison responsible for the deaths of countless Americans.” But when it comes to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was tried and convicted in the U.S. in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison for taking bribes and allowing traffickers to export more than 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S., Trump has taken a decidedly softer tone.

“If the words I’m speaking today are making your heart sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign,” the beleaguered Pentagon chief said. It was a pointed reminder that Hegseth is not exactly open to engaging with military officials whose views differ from his own. On the contrary, he’s proved himself eager to purge the armed forces of those he deems unworthy — a campaign that’s ongoing.
