I'm Gloria Moraga.  In the United States, we went to bed breathing a sigh of relief that Iran was opening the Strait of Hormuz to all traffic, and it looked like the war might be coming to an end.  NOT SO FAST.  After Trump made multiple announcements and the Stock Market shot up, Iran then announced it was closing the Strait again because of the U.S. BLOCKADE.  The situation in the Gulf is changing moment to moment.  THIS STORY AND MORE ON POLITICAL NEWS LIVE FOR EARLY SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 18TH.  I'M GLORIA MORAGA, THIS IS BREAKING POLITICAL NEWS LIVE.

The Feisty, former Navy Helicopter Pilot got right to work, signing two executive orders during her inaugural speech, declaring a state of emergency on utility costs in New Jersey. One order freezes utility rate hikes, and another aims to develop new sources of electricity production to lower utility costs in the long term. The newly sworn-in Democrat sought to contrast the history and character of her state against the Trump Regime. Speaking on the Declaration of Independence, Sherrill says "The people of New Jersey recognize the parallels" between British King George III and President Trump. She accuses the president of "illegally usurping power" and imposing a "Tariff Regime" that hurts New Jerseyans so he can enrich himself. Gov. Sherrill promised to make New Jersey a "New Ark" for "Liberty and Prosperity," drawing on the state's motto. She says she will sign executive orders to freeze energy rate hikes and will fight what she views as abuses of power by the Federal Government.

For the first time in United States History, the Commonwealth of Virginia has a female Governor. Abigail Spanberger took the oath of office at the Virginia State Capitol, a building steeped in history. As her husband and three daughters looked on, along with dozens of well-wishers, the Democrat vowed to work for unity. She said, “It is our duty to demonstrate for the generations to come that when faced with hardships, challenges, divisions, and even bitterness, we too forged a path forward and pursued progress.” Abigail Spanberger is now Virginia's 75th Governor.

Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives conducted shadow field hearings in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Friday, January 16. Why Shadow Hearings? Because no Republicans attended. Most of us have seen the videos of ICE in action on the streets of the Twin Cities. These hearings focused on investigating brutality by ICE in Minnesota against American citizens, a clear violation of the Constitution.

The Maxwell-Blanche interviews - yes, it is all about sex trafficking, massive lies, and the audio of he interviews the Department of Justice recently conducted.

Reading the transcripts of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's audio interview with convicted Sex Trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell was almost painful.

For God's Sake, his job is to run the Department of Justice, not interview CONVICTED FELONS. But we must remember, TRUMP IS A CONVICTED FELON.

Even Trump admits it, and then denies it, he and Jeffrey Epstein were once friends.

From the looks of things, the videos, the photos, the mansions scattered around the world, and the private Jets, they look like best friends.

For at least 10 years, the billionaire and the millionaire bachelors partied with Playboy and Underwear Models.

We now know that the Billionaire, with his own Island, multiple Jets, and even more mansions, was also a child sexual abuser.

And he used his money and his powerful friends to break the law and abuse dozens of young girls.

Epstein and his lover, then work-partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, were and are monsters.

So far, the two are the only two who have brought the victims a little justice.

There are still dozens and dozens of men and women who took part in the child trafficking and sexual abuse of the girls.

There is, obviously, more information about the other sexual predators and abusers in the Epstein Files.

But the Trump administration is refusing to release them. Instead, Trump is trying to divert our attention and change the subject, and deflect. It may work. It has before.

This is the early timeline of the relationship between the builder, Trump, and the financial manager, Epstein, who was also a child sexual predator.

THE DISTURBING CRIMES OF CONVICTED CHILD SEX TRAFFICKER GHISLAINE MAXWELL. The survivors, all of them, deserve justice - Maxwell must remain behind bars and away from young girls.

The prosecution's Sentencing Memorandum, which outlines the crimes committed by Ghislaine Maxwell, explains why she deserves to spend 20 years behind bars. And why she should never be around young women again.

Maxwell is a monster. It’s that simple. And that complex. No amount of political maneuvering should change Maxwell’s fate.

The Sentencing Memorandum, written by U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, speaks loudly.

The 55-page document includes the abuse that Maxwell's victims suffered as she enjoyed a life of luxury and privilege. The convicted child predator does not deserve the move to a campus-like prison, much less the consideration of a Presidential Pardon.

I will post the full sentencing document on my website, gloriamoraga.com

From high expectations to low blows;  from Trump and his MAGA supporters, the last six months have been a political Trump-Epstein rollercoaster ride.

This podcast is a rough timeline of the "EPSTEIN FILES" 2025.

From Promises-Made to Promises-Broken.

And it is far from over.

Will Trump pardon Epstein's former accomplice, convicted child sexual abuser and trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell?

Will Maxwell and her attorney ignore the Congressional Subpoena?

Will Trump's Department of Justice turn over the Epstein Files to Congressional committees?
