CHOCK AND BATES ARE CRYING LAUNCH THE FRENCH TEAM INTO THE SUN

NBC must have sent a memo because Johnny didn't say boo. Should have been USA, CAN, and ITA in that order on the podium. FRA winning is nonsense. I'm not really a Chock & Bates fan but they laid it down tonight. #Olympics #FigureSkating

So, Bondi and her burn book came to Congress. She acted like the classless and cruel predator protector she is. She lied and deflected. This woman belongs in prison with the rest of the Epstein Class.

Bondi should be impeached based solely on her conduct today. Talking money when the topic is Epstein victims should earn her contempt of Congress and disbarment as well. She is a disgrace to the legal profession.

Bondi: “He called Chase Mulligan a wild goose chase and didn't even know who he was. He is a defendant in your own district who preyed on girls." Rep. Raskin: "If he were part of the Epstein investigation, you wouldn't do anything about it."

Ted Lieu: “Were there any underage girls at that party or any party that Trump attended with Epstein” Pam Bondi: “There is no evidence that Trump has committed a crime” Ted Lieu: “I believe you just lied under oath”

Bondi has spent this entire hearing crashing out, talking about the stock market, and trying to do anything but talk about Epstein. The American people see through this bullshit. Innocent people don’t act this way.

Pramila Jayapal starts with the cover-up of Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem's name in the email that

Are we sure it wasn't ICE?

Well they can always quit their shitty job if they don’t like it. Nobody is making them do this shit. Or are they?

this morning in Minneapolis: "Ice smashed window and pulled a man out of his vehicle(Nissan posted) was a heavy ICE presence now there are 2 agents sitting in the man’s vehicle"

What a great initiative! I love discussing TV shows and The X-Files so much that I’ve even made an app to comment on them anytime—just in case someone misses an #XFilesLive or wants to start from the very beginning.

In case you need a screenshot for the blog 🤣 #GH

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

this is so funny, god bless louise lucas, Hero of the Commonwealth

Re next week's vote on the SAVE Act, please rewatch this scene from The Breakfast Club. It's funny because no one gets a fake ID so they can vote. And - no matter what some racist, demagogic Republican tells you - voting is not why immigrants come to America. youtu.be/PbxZXmF6qtQ?...

A tune for this morning.

Can't wait until thirty seconds into the deposition when Norm asks whether Elon has taken any medications that could affect his testimony

I'm at the Olympics and the entire stadium booed JD Vance. 😌

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Yup and remember they called us hysterical and Susan Sarandon wanted a revolution and here we f*****g are

WaPo dumped its local desk ... to write local stories about NYC? 🤔

Whenever I walk by the portrait of Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm in the Capitol, I’m reminded of her legacy, her impact, and her role in my life as one of my personal heroes. During Black History Month, I want to share that story with you.

HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today. Rep. Joaquin Castro: "The Trump administration is trying to take him away again." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

He looks like a vampiric gerbil.

Black history reminds us that progress doesn't happen by waiting—it happens by showing up, lifting each other, and moving forward together. #BlackHistoryMonth

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

We found that Jeff Bezos paid *zero* taxes in 2007 and 2011. In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children. This is how he did it (published 2021):

I am speechless. "The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument. Among the anticipated changes? No longer calling his murderer a 'racist.'" 🗃️ mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/m...

I really liked Riot Women, the latest show from Happy Valley creator Sally Wainwright, about a middle-aged female punk band. My review:

I dream of her doing a Fiona Hill series.

Riot Women. BritBox. You’ll think you know what it is but you don’t. Sally Wainwright is such a gift.

It's not Nurenberg, but it's a start. "finding that Musk made decisions to dismantle USAID despite lacking formal authority or official approval." www.axios.com/2026/02/05/s...

The ‘20 election was a conspiracy against him His indictments were a conspiracy against him Epstein is a conspiracy against him The polls are fake The media lies Or he’s just a pathologically-lying corrupt pedophile-protecting sore loser? 🤷‍♂️

Only elites like the sports section, just has no traction for a local metro paper. apnews.com/article/wash...

Conway: If you want your lives to be better and you want this country to persevere for your kids, we need to impeach and remove this fascist fucker now, as soon as possible. And I know that language is tough, but that’s where we are.

“If a newspaper’s publisher makes a bunch of decisions that lose money, and then the owner keeps the publisher while firing the staff who puts out the paper—none of this is really about the money, is it?” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

If Jeff Bezos had any strength of character he would pay someone to take the newspaper he's destroyed off his hands and contribute money to a trust to restore it.

from the shelter!! The official good news!! WE LOVE YOU MELIA www.facebook.com/reel/9208837...

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Elizabeth Zuna Caisaguano, 11 years old. In dreadful ICE detention for nearly a month.

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires. I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

“The values of The Post do not need changing. The paper’s duty will remain to its readers and not to the private interests of its owners. We will continue to follow the truth wherever it leads,” -Jeffrey Preston Bezos, August 5, 2013 www.washingtonpost.com/national/jef...
