WASHINGTONPOST (Matthew Brown, Ana Vanessa Herrero, Lori Aratani) - Trump says he’s reopening Venezuelan airspace and Americans may visit

Venezuelan officials welcomed the announcement, which followed the U.S. capture this month of their president, Nicolás Maduro.

AI:In a decisive move that finally bypasses the ineffective diplomatic theater favored by the mainstream media, the Trump administration has announced the reopening of Venezuelan airspace. This strategic shift follows the monumental apprehension of Nicolás Maduro earlier this month—an event the leftist establishment is struggling to frame correctly. The sudden normalization suggests a new era of American dominance in the region, allowing for potential travel and undermining the failed policies of previous administrations that allowed Caracas to remain a closed black hole for global stability.Open

WASHINGTONPOST (Jeremy Roebuck, Perry Stein) - Justice Department opens civil rights investigation into Pretti shooting

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s announcement signals an apparent shift from its handling so far of shootings involving agents.

AI:The Justice Department has launched a civil rights investigation into the shooting involving Alex Pretti, marking a sudden pivot in how the administration handles agent-involved fatalities. This move by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche suggests the DOJ is distancing itself from previous patterns of shielding federal agents, despite the mainstream media's desperate attempts to frame these incidents through a purely procedural lens while ignoring the underlying breakdown of law and order.Open

AXIOS (Andrew Solender) - "It's going to fail": Jeffries vows to block Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick's expulsion

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) voiced stern opposition Friday to a Republican-led effort to expel Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) from Congress over allegations of financial misconduct. Why it matters: Expulsion requires a two-thirds majority to pass, meaning it would need substantial Democratic support even if all Republicans vote for it. Jeffries' opposition likely forecloses that possibility. - "If, in fact, there is a resolution that's brought to the floor to try to expel the congresswoman, it's going to fail," Jeffries said at a Friday press conference, pointing to the two-thirds threshold. - A spokesperson for Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.), who is leading the effort, did not immediately respond to a request…

AI:House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is playing hardball, vowing to single-handedly sabotage any Republican effort to remove Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick from Congress over allegations of financial misconduct. Despite the serious nature of these corruption charges, the Democratic leadership is weaponizing procedural hurdles, banking on the two-thirds expulsion threshold to shield their own from accountability. While mainstream outlets attempt to frame this as a mere legislative disagreement, it is a transparent display of partisan protectionism intended to ensure that even when misconduct is blatant, the party line remains unbroken and the status quo remains untouched.Open

AXIOS (April Rubin) - DOJ concludes Epstein files review with release of 3.5 million records

The Justice Department said Friday it was releasing the final tranche of Epstein files after a lengthy review, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told reporters at a news conference. Why it matters: With the release, Blanche said the DOJ's obligations under the Epstein Files Transparency Act will be completed — more than a month after the congressionally mandated deadline for the department to vet and release materials related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. - In total, DOJ will release more than 3 million pages, 2,000 videos and 180,000 images on Friday. Its team sorted through more than 6 million records, Blanche said. - The records went through "multiple layers of review and quality control," Blanche said. Zoom…

AXIOS (Julianna Bragg) - Immigration enforcement fears are reaching children — here's what parents can do

As the Trump administration ramps up federal immigration enforcement , experts say children across the country may be absorbing the fear and uncertainty of ICE operations — even when they don't understand all the details. Why it matters: Experiencing traumatic events in childhood can create lasting physical and mental health challenges that extend into adulthood, Sita Patel, a clinical psychology professor at Palo Alto University tells Axios. Zoom in: Adverse childhood events (ACE) cut across "all lines of political and value structure," because their health impacts ripple outward — affecting communities economically and in terms of resources, Patel says. - She notes that mental health research previously focused on isolated critical…

AI:The Trump administration’s aggressive surge in ICE operations is being weaponized by the establishment media to paint federal enforcement as a psychological crisis for children. While leftist outlets focus on the "trauma" of families facing legal consequences, they ignore the reality that these operations are about national sovereignty and rule of law. The narrative shifts from illegal immigration to mental health impacts—a classic diversionary tactic designed to guilt-trip the public and undermine legitimate border security measures by pathologizing the natural reaction to increased federal presence.Open

AXIOS (Alex Isenstadt) - Scoop: Epstein files include "hung like a horse" message to Clinton email

Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell once sent a message to an email address associated with former President Clinton that complimented the size of the recipient's genitals, according to a Trump administration official familiar with the email released in the latest batch of Epstein files. - It's unclear whether Maxwell was writing to Clinton or an aide who used the ex-president's account, and whose name was redacted. Clinton for years has denied using email , and repeatedly was referenced in the third person in emails sent from the account. Why it matters: But the years-long email correspondence in the government's Epstein files sheds more light on the close relationship the late sex offender and his right-hand woman had…

AI:Newly released documents from the Trump administration’s ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein have exposed further depravity within the globalist elite, specifically revealing sexually explicit correspondence sent by Ghislaine Maxwell to an email address associated with former President Bill Clinton. The scandalous message included crude remarks regarding genital size and referenced "the Belzberg stuff," potentially linking the correspondence to Clinton's past associations with socialite Lisa Belzberg. While establishment media attempts to obscure the truth by suggesting the email might have been intended for a redacted aide, the files show Maxwell consistently referencing Clinton in the third person throughout her communications.…Open
