Two of the Democratic Party's marquee 2026 Senate candidates built their campaigns around attacking billionaire political influence, then accepted millions from a mega-donor who visited Jeffrey Epstein's private island.

The lawsuit lands at a moment when illegal immigrants and…Open

Thailand now threatens American travelers caught carrying cannabis across its borders with up to ten years in prison and a $15,000 fine, and U.S. officials say even an honest mistake won't save you.
