it has gotten overlooked, but Trump's new talking point that crime is down in Minneapolis because of him is preposterous. As of the end of last month his goons have committed the majority of 2026 murders in the city!

Jordan Klepper crashed the "Melania" premiere to ask attendees what they liked best about the bribe, er, film

Remember that midnight raid in Chicago supposedly to arrest Tren del Aragua members? Newly revealed court docs show that the raid was facilitated by the building owners who are now accused of using the raid to evict tenants. DHS never mentions TDA in their filings: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

thinking once again about how many Washington Post jobs the $75 million Bezos spent on Melania could have saved

Everybody has it backwards. Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies. They’re creating a world they control completely

Shutting down (the stellar) books coverage at WaPo is a real telling move when your owner is literally Jeff Bezos

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

Why do people report that Trump has shut down the Kennedy Center “for two years”? What has he DONE: Shut it down. What has he PROMISED: To reopen it in 2 years. What is REPORTED: The promise. What do we KNOW: Trump always lies.

“.. Not a single Republican member of Congress showed up to the public forum .. on the violence inflicted by federal immigration agents, featuring testimony from the brothers of Renee Good ..” @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/post/206100/...

Key Takeaways from NIH Director Bhattacharya's hearing from Miriam and Bethesda Declaration whistleblower Jenna Norton (speaking in personal capacity). Our analysis? "Oof." (1/3 🧵)

You probably know that ICE agents shot Renee Good. You should also know what happened next.

"Photographic evidence from the shooting scene of a Venezuelan man by federal agents last month in Minneapolis supports the account of witnesses there – and appears to undercut the narrative provided by federal officials." www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Brad Karp’s DEFENSE being ‘no you don’t get it I just wanted Jeffrey Epstein to get my son a job on the Woody Allen movie’ is sending me into orbit like these people aren’t even trying

Me neither. It's so obvious he's doing anything to deflect from answering questions about Epstein's victims.

🤔 It’s definitely not suspicious at all to have people point out your common Twitter sign off is in the Epstein files and ten completely delete your yacht’s logs right?

There’s a highly classified whistleblower complaint about Tulsi Gabbard that’s been held up and not sent to Congress for 8(!) months And a former aide to Gabbard runs her agency’s watchdog office & she got rid of the top attorney in that watchdog office www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Billie Eilish says "FUCK ICE" during her Grammys acceptance speech: "Nobody is illegal on stolen land. We need to keep fighting and speaking up. Our voices do matter."

"Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to a hospital emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain..." apnews.com/article/immi...

This is such a loss for D.C. and the arts. I saw Les Miz at the Kennedy Center before it went to Broadway. I saw Pete Seeger play a free show with the next generation of folk singers. Are there any adults in Congress who want to help and find their spines?

An NBA ref called a push off on SGA

The king of law firm capitulators was also apparently an Epstein fanboy. www.ft.com/content/e12a...

Bad Bunny at the Grammys: "Before I say thanks to God, I want to say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans."

Seeing this for the first time, but it feels like a great tribute to the great Catherine O'Hara. 🙌 #joni #acaseofyou youtu.be/vOWn4CUsFak?...

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

Fisch is the founder and chief corporate officer of Veru pharma. www.linkedin.com/company/veru...

This is happening a lot to female journalists. So here is a modest proposal for the White House press corps: Stand together. No one should ask another question until the President answers the question that was ignored.

NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

“You are good to go.” Good to go?!?! This is what ICE tells a young woman they tossed out into dangerously freezing temperatures after four agonizing days in detention at Whipple. Today’s front page Strib report: www.startribune.com/no-humanity-...

Of course not, they had more than enough time to scrub any incriminating evidence against Trump or any of his higher ranking officials. At best we might see some lower level official go down as a sacrificial lamb. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Bari Weiss attended a fundraiser last night in NYC, attendee tells me. There was an auction item for dinner with her and wife Nellie Bowles. Several people cheered in approval, many others said after how gross it was. Bari shouted out “And you can make out with Nellie!” It ultimately sold for $55k.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips reacts to Todd Blanche: I’m actually shaking right now. I want to fucking cry. It makes me so sick. And he has a wedding ring on. Like, really—how does he go home to his wife. I’m looking at the files right now that shows names…

🚨 Kevin Warsh, Trump’s pick to lead the Fed, shows up in newly released #EpsteinFiles — listed on a 2010 St. Barth’s Christmas guest list with other elites. Will he give Trump the Fed policies he wants? 🏛️💸 #Fed #TrumpWatch make the connections you see #EpsteinConnectio www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is creepy as hell. Will Musk be asked by reporters to explain this?

If I have the right Nellie Bowles, the partner in question is Bari Weiss

They used "anti-semitism" as a pretext to deport foreign-born students and chill free speech, and their deportation chief -- the one with the nonstandard Hugo Boss-style greatcoat -- was spouting anti-semitic insults at a US attorney

And Peter Attia MD telling Epstein the biggest problem with being his friend is he can’t tell anyone about the life he lives. Nice.

Hey, @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy - is this your new hire?

Marimar Martinez is a hero. She was shot 5 times by ICE. The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire. He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”. DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her. Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

NBC News is reporting on emails from Elon Musk and Howard Lutnick but they are not mentioning anything about Trump

Looking forward to more hot takes on who the bad guys in the invasion of Ukraine are from Noam Chomsky, the guy who apparently felt Jeffrey Epstein was the real victim of Me Too.

Dan Diamond from the Washington Post is pursuing this story about Scandinavian Americans. When I called him out, he emailed me, claiming I am the harshest critic of his work. 🙄

So the REAL problem is not the Somalis but the Scandinavians!

Interesting …

“Lutnick swam in the same circles as the sex trafficker - it is no accident he became a chief Trump fundraiser upon the FBI’s 2019 Epstein arrest.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

Mass movements force change. ICE has committed human rights abuses and those responsible must be prosecuted. As people protest all across the country today, our office is a third space. We are open for mutual aid support, free posters, and bracelet-making for anyone who needs community.

This appears to be a very friendly email from Melania to Ghislaine Maxwell:

Journalist Georgia Fort has been released from custody (video @fox9mn.bsky.social)
