GOP House margin narrows further as vacancy is filled. Democrat Walkinshaw wins special congressional election where Trump loomed large excerpt: "Walkinshaw will succeed late longtime Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly, who died in June after a battle with cancer. Heading into Tuesday's special election, Republicans controlled the House 219-212, with three seats controlled by Democrats vacant, as well as one held by the GOP.

Photo of novelty check suggests Epstein ‘sold’ Trump a woman for $22,500 excerpt: A scrapbook for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday released on Monday contains a photo of him holding a novelty check bearing Donald Trump’s signature, along with a note suggesting Epstein “sold” him a woman for $22,500, shedding further light on the longtime relationship between the president and the convicted sex offender. The photo shows Epstein and Joel Pashcow, a longtime member of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, and a third figure, apparently a woman, whose face is redacted in the image, which was shared on social media by Democrats on the House oversight committee. The caption, apparently from Pashcow, reads: “Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women! Sells ‘fully depreciated’ [redaction] to Donald Trump for $22,500.” Epstein “showed early ‘people skills’ too”, the caption continued. “Even though I handled the deal I didn’t get any of the money on the girl!”

A legal win for Trump and his fake electors. https://www.npr.org/2025/09/09/nx-s1-5535584/michigan-fake-electors-trump-charges-dropped excerpt: "A Michigan judge has dismissed criminal charges against 15 people who signed false certificates saying Donald Trump won the state's electoral votes in 2020. Trump lost the state and the presidency to Joe Biden. It's the latest loss in prosecutors' efforts to hold accountable people associated with Trump's attempt to overturn his election loss. In May, an Arizona judge sent that state's so-called "fake elector" case back to a grand jury. The Nevada case is stuck in a jurisdictional appeal after a court dismissed the case last year. In Georgia, the Fulton County district attorney's office is fighting to keep its prosecution alive after a court ruled that the DA's office should be removed from the case. And, notably, the federal election interference case against Trump himself was dropped when he was reelected president."
