[ad_1] Photograph Source: G. Edward Johnson – CC BY 4.0 The most corrupt president and cabinet in U.S. history are now stealing fees from national parks and federal recreational lands and waters to fund Trump’s D.C. vanity projects.  These fees were never intended to be used to turn the White House and Capitol grounds into a Mar-a-Largo billionaires club – especially as federal parks, lands, and waters in Montana and across the nation continue to degrade. The Washington Post broke the news this week showing where these narcissistic miscreants will spend the funds intended for maintenance of our national parks…

[ad_1] The Ohio Senate campaigns of Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican Sen. Jon Husted both are running ads accusing their rival of receiving six-figure donations from people they call “associates” of disgraced financier and deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.  Each candidate received donations from people mentioned in the Epstein files, the federal government’s investigative archive that included the public release of more than 3.5 million pages of records, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos.  The files include the names of hundreds of people, some incidentally mentioned and others close to Epstein.

[ad_1] From Texas Supreme Court Justice Evan Young’s majority opinion Friday in In the Interest of H.S.:Few principles in our history and traditions are as deeply rooted as the sanctity of the family. Fit parents, and not the government or anyone else, have the right and the corresponding responsibility to direct their children’s upbringing and to be their children’s primary source of protection and guidance. At the same time, a parent’s inability or unwillingness to satisfy basic, minimum standards of care can lead to abuse or neglect, which justifies governmental intervention to protect the children.

A March 9, 2026, Task Force report by the New York City Bar – dominated by powerful corporate lawyers – was titled “The Crisis Deepens: Congress Must Act Now to Address Escalating Abuses of Executive Power.” The recommendation – Immediate Impeachment of Donald Trump.
