Eastern Congo's Ebola outbreak has killed more than 1,500 people and infected nearly 3,500, surpassing every prior outbreak in speed and raising urgent questions about a virus strain with no approved vaccine or treatment. Official data released Thursday put the death toll at 1,521, with 3,442 total cases recorded as of Tuesday. Those numbers represent roughly a 50 percent spike in about one week, a rate of spread that dwarfs every Ebola outbreak since the virus was first identified in 1976. The Associated Press reported that the current crisis has "killed more people at a quicker rate than any previous outbreak," including the 2014, 2016 West Africa epidemic that had been considered the worst on record.

The Democratic National Committee wired nearly $29,000 to an email scammer pretending to be its own chairman, a loss that surfaced in federal records as the party already struggles under crushing debt and mounting calls for new leadership. A DNC staffer sent $28,860.92 to an unknown fraudster who impersonated newly installed Chairman Ken Martin via email in February 2025, just weeks after Martin took over the party apparatus. The committee caught the error "within minutes," Breitbart News reported , citing federal records and party official interviews first published by NOTUS. The DNC reported the incident to its bank, Wells Fargo, and recovered $7,000, leaving the party short more than $21,000 from a single phishing email. The staffer…Open

Every senator went on record Wednesday opposing clemency for Jeffrey Epstein's convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, a rare bipartisan rebuke tied directly to the confirmation fight over Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. Sen. Jacky Rosen, a Nevada Democrat, introduced the non-binding resolution on the Senate floor and asked for unanimous consent. No senator objected. The measure calls on the president not to grant "a pardon, commutation, or any other form of executive clemency" to the 64-year-old Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence after a jury convicted her in late 2021 on sex trafficking conspiracy and trafficking of a minor. The vote carried no legal force, but its timing was deliberate. Rosen linked it…Open

Schumer told reporters Wednesday that Democrats want Fetterman in the fold, downplaying months of open speculation that the Pennsylvania senator could bolt the party he has increasingly clashed with on Israel, immigration, and the leftward drift of its activist base. The New York Post reported that Schumer described Democrats as "a big-tent party" capable of absorbing disagreement, a generous characterization, given how aggressively the party's progressive wing has tried to marginalize Fetterman over the past year.…Open
