Today in Politics, Bulletin 317. 2/27/26 Ron Filipkowski Feb 27 ∙ …  James Comer  lied about the deposition of  Bill Clinton  to the media regarding what the former president said about Trump’s relationship with  Jeffrey Epstein : “President Clinton went on to say that President Trump has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved. And he meant with Epstein.” …  Oversight Dems  immediately issued a statement calling out Comer for his lies: “Let's be clear: today, President Clinton raised more questions about the relationship between Trump and Epstein - specifically with regards to the reason their relationship ended. Claims that President Clinton fully exonerated Trump are wrong and a mischaracterization.” … “In fact, President Clinton confirmed that he knew Trump and Epstein had a close relationship and said Trump reported having ‘great times’ with Epstein. The full transcript, unedited, should be released immediately.” … Rep.  ...

Press Onward To journalists everywhere: fight like hell Dan Rather and Team Steady Dec 29 October 1, 2025, New York City Credit: Getty Images As Benjamin Franklin was leaving Independence Hall at the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, a woman asked him what kind of government had been established. “A republic, if you can keep it,” he famously and presciently answered. A republic is a form of government in which power is held by the people, who elect representatives to exercise that power on their behalf. Our republic has survived civil war and world wars. It has withstood economic depressions and deadly pandemics. It has persevered in the face of scandals and political assassinations. For 238 years, the Constitution, buttressed by the rule of law, has been our bulwark against tyranny. But now we are faced with a cult leader-cum-authoritarian hell-bent on destroying it. As we look back on 2025, we’re hard-pressed to find a corner of society more tormented than th...

Publisher's Roundup, 10 Trump is Lashing Out Because He’s Losing Norman Eisen Mar 22 Friday was a surreal split screen for me. On the one hand, press coverage was dominated  by the capitulation to Donald Trump  of what was heretofore one of our nation’s finest and heretofore most courageous law firms, Paul Weiss . In one form or another, I’ve worked closely with them for years, and as one very senior public official asked me, “What the f**k?” The other side of the split screen was the latest salvo in Trump’s attacks on me. Throughout the day, reporters and others reached out to alert me that Trump was about to make another move against me in retaliation for my legal fights against him. I replied that I would not yield, no matter what Trump had planned, then proved it by   filing with wonderful partners my latest lawsuit  against his administration to reverse the shuttering of Voice of America. By the time   Trump’s Executive Order with my name in it   arriv...
