As military strikes rattle Caracas and geopolitical tensions rise across South America, a parallel storm is unfolding in Washington, this time over transparency, accountability and the Epstein files. The U.S. Department of Justice has formally missed a statutory deadline to complete redactions and release materials tied to Jeffrey Epstein, triggering alarm among House Oversight Democrats. Lawmakers say the delay violates clear legal obligations under the Epstein Transparency Law and raises renewed questions about who is being protected and why. WATCH 

The Department of Justice has taken decisive action following Nick Shirley’s explosive investigations into Minnesota’s widespread fraud schemes. With 98 individuals now charged and over 60 convicted, the DOJ is signaling that even more indictments could be on the horizon. Shirley’s investigative reporting has brought national attention to systemic corruption in Minnesota, particularly exposing alleged misuse of taxpayer funds within Somali-run daycare networks. Pam Bondi has publicly commended Shirley’s work, emphasizing the impact of his reporting and its role in prompting federal scrutiny. WATCH
