This article was featured in the One Story to Read Today newsletter. Sign up for it here. You’ve heard the joke: The White House is going to start talking about the Epstein files to distract from how badly the Iran war is going. Except that this reverse “Wag the dog” is based on bizarre truth: First Lady Melania Trump did bring the disgraced financier up, unprompted, late last week in an effort to distance herself from the scandal (in a move that, predictably, only shifted it back into the spotlight…

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger is struggling to explain how her popularity has collapsed just months into her administration. At a press briefing designed to look like a happenstance meeting with reporters on the sidewalk outside of the governor’s mansion in Richmond, Spanberger addressed a Washington Post/Schar poll that showed her losing 11% of her approval since November’s election, when her approval rating was 57.4% to 46%. Her answer was more cringe than an impromptu chat with Kamala Harris: “If everybody hated me, why is everybody putting my face on their…

Since immigration-enforcement agents began their descent on Chicago, acting with seemingly unprecedented speed and ferocity, Evelyn Vargas and her colleagues at Organized Communities Against Deportation have been in a frenzy. They help run an emergency hotline that refers people who have been detained to immigration lawyers and directs their families to support services such as food pantries, emergency housing, and mental-health care. (On a single day last week, it took 800 calls.) And they oversee a team of 35 “rapid responders” who have been sprinting across the city to film…

During his testimony on Capitol Hill earlier this month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio took a swipe at Senator Chris Van Hollen, falsely accusing him of having had “a margarita” with Kilmar Abrego Garcia—one of the Maryland Democrat’s constituents, who was mistakenly sent to an El Salvador megaprison more than two months ago and who remains there despite the Supreme Court ordering the Trump administration to facilitate his release. “That guy is a human trafficker, and that guy is a gangbanger … and the evidence is going to be clear,”…

For decades, women fought for the equal rights that men in this country had enjoyed from its inception. Yet recently, and under Democrat rule, these hard-fought freedoms have been thrown into jeopardy from the Left demanding that women share their sports and private spaces with men pretending to be the opposite sex. Female athletes have been thrust into this danger head on. With sports leagues and schools allowing men to compete in women’s and girls sports, females are forced into a biological disadvantage that has jeopardized their safety and scholarship…

President Donald Trump kicked off his second term this week by pardoning the more than 1,500 Americans charged with crimes in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol protest. Pardoning the Jan. 6 prisoners is “another promise made, promise kept from the president,” Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., told The Daily Signal. “It is shameful right now to see that there are still people that, four years later, have not had a fair trial, have not had a trial at all,” he said. All Americans have a constitutional right to…
