Barney Frank, entering hospice care, embarks on a final act: Taking on the left

Former Rep. Barney Frank, a liberal icon who was a key architect of the landmark Wall Street regulations Democrats enacted in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, has entered hospice care at his home in Maine. And as one of his last acts, he is preparing to release a book repudiating his party’s left flank.

A champion of liberal causes during his 32 years representing Massachusetts in the House, Frank says progressive Democrats have “embraced an agenda that goes beyond what’s politically acceptable.”

“Until we separate ourselves from that agenda, we don’t win,” he said in an interview Tuesday.

Frank, who served in the House from 1981 to 2013, said he feels “very good — no pain, no discomfort,” but has entered hospice care as he deals with congestive heart failure. He is remaining in his home in Ogunquit, Maine, where he moved with his husband after retiring from Congress.

Barney would have served his party better had he gone public with this 5 years ago. I guess he didn't want to face Progs' poutrage.

Nancy Mace Names 6 House Lawmakers Allegedly Involved In Sex Scandal Cover Up

https://dailycaller.com/2026/05/04/nancy-mace-house-lawmakers-allegedly-cover-up-sex-scandals/

Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace named several lawmakers Monday who she claims used a congressional “slush fund” to cover up alleged sex scandals.

Mace said she uncovered 1,000 pages of documents detailing how certain lawmakers allegedly evaded consequences for sexual scandals, according to a Monday post on X. Mace originally subpoenaed the House Oversight Committee in March in light of a string of sexual scandals that resulted in two resignations from Congress.

Notably, Mace said that these documents are only from the last 22 years, claiming that all reports prior to 2004 were “destroyed.” Mace later named six lawmakers she alleges covered up their sex scandals with the “slush fund.”

“Accountability is not a threat,” Mace said. “It is a promise.”

Mace followed up her original tweet with one listing the alleged cases and their settlements. Mace’s post names six lawmakers including former Republican Louisiana Rep. Rodney Alexander, former Republican Texas Rep. Blake Farenthold, former Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Patrick Meehan, former Democratic New York Rep. Eric Massa, former Democratic Michigan Rep. John Conyers, and the office of former Democratic New York Rep. Carolyn McCarthy.

At least 3 MPD officials under investigation over crime stats may be fired

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/at-least-2-mpd-officials-under-investigation-over-crime-stats-may-be-fired/4100047/

At least three Metropolitan Police Department officials who were under investigation for allegedly manipulating crime statistics were issued termination papers by the internal affairs office, law enforcement sources tell News4.

Two of the officials are commanders, sources said; another is a captain.

News4 was first to report in July 2025 that the commander of MPD’s 3rd District was under investigation for allegedly manipulating crime statistics on his district. Cmdr. Michael Pulliam was placed on leave with pay and denied the allegations.

Pulliam was told on Monday that he would be terminated, News4 confirmed.

2nd District Cmdr. Tatjana Savoy also was told she would be terminated, source said.

Multiple other officials were told they would be fired or receive other forms of discipline.

Word of the termination notices spread as a number of high-level officials did not show up to a crime briefing early Monday, sources said.

Interim Chief of Police Jeffery Carroll declined to comment, citing an internal matter. U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro also said she could not comment.

Lying bureaucrats receiving consequences? That's possible in DC?

These liars were trying to conceal the unsurprising consequences of Progs' soft-on-crime/criminals policies and actions.
