TikTok: The most exciting, and controversial, social media app on the planet

The revealing pointlessness of Trump’s primetime speech

When a president gives a primetime televised speech, it is typically about something of serious import: to make the case for a major new policy or to announce the beginning of a war. President Donald Trump’s speech on Wednesday night had no grave significance. In fact, there didn’t seem to be much of a point […] Read more

The Epstein files release did nothing to clear up the scandal’s biggest question

The Trump Administration was legally required to release all documents related to federal investigations of Jeffrey Epstein by Friday, with only limited grounds for withholding documents and full explanations required for any redactions. They did not do this. Or anything close to it. The Justice Department released several thousand documents Friday, but top officials acknowledged […] Read more

The case against releasing the Epstein files
