NEW: One of Dubai’s Most Powerful Executives Discussed Sex, Business With Epstein Among an elite network that corresponded with Epstein, few kept in communication with him as long as Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem. Here’s what the emails reveal 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself. 25th Amendment now.

New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets. These are their stories:

🎁⛓️ "the complaint, which is said to be locked in a safe. Disclosure of its contents could cause 'grave damage to national security,' one official said. It also implicates another federal agency beyond Gabbard’s, and ... that may involve the White House, officials said." www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

🎁⛓️ "Mr. Trump personally ordered Ms. Gabbard to go to Atlanta for the search, and coordinated her actions with Andrew Bailey, one of two deputy F.B.I. directors, according to the U.S. official." It's a four alarm fire...there is no bottom to what Trump will try. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

🎁⛓️ Visitors log should be public. Justices and employees oath should be to the Constitution, above all. Why should one branch of government have this secrecy? They gave near complete immunity to the President, while giving themselves complete. #ShadowDocket www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

"Ochoa is a Border Patrol agent who joined CBP in 2018. Gutierrez joined in 2014 and works for CBP’s Office of Field Operations. He is assigned to a special response team, which conducts high-risk operations like those of police SWAT units. Records show both men are from South." #CBP #Minneapolis

"When in doubt, draw a distinction." Not sure where he got it, but in grad school one of my teachers taught me that. This (long) thread is about the key distinctions I rely on as a critic. There's a Twitter version from 2021. This one builds on that one. I will post them one at a time. Ready?

NYU Law Prof. Richard Epstein has submitted his amicus brief to the United States Supreme Court on birthright citizenship. He has no expertise in this area and has never done, as far as I know, any substantial work on the history of the common law dating back to early modern and pre-modern England.

HUGE news! This is about a Trump admin effort to arrest thousands of screened and vetted refugees in Minnesota and fly them to Texas to be jailed and then interrogated. After the interrogation is over, people are being dumped on the street and told to find their own way back.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Martinez took five bullets from a CBP agent, and DHS went into overdrive claiming she was an armed threat to the agents who were merely defending themselves. Sound familiar?

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

Spoke to folks in Kharkiv and Kyiv - people are freezing to death while being bombed daily for hours. It’s a humanitarian crisis. Tweets of “how incredibly strong Ukrainians are” and “prayers” aren’t enough. They need help. Now.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is: In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

When people look at a weather report, they never think "why are they lying to us?" Because they can see the weather with their own eyes. It matches to what they were told. It shouldn't be so hard to tell the truth. Do not look away. #Minneapolis #DHS #CBP

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home! Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

The total number of measles cases has surged to over 600 in South Carolina. Last April, our reporting found that national rates for four major vaccines fell significantly in recent years. In fact, measles vaccination rates were below herd immunity in most states in 2023: https://propub.li/4a61hjh

When WaPo asked DHS abt possibility it won't get funded, it pointed to its propaganda about who it is arresting--the same lie it has been telling since Sen Padilla called Noem on it last summer. That makes MPR debunking all the more important.

There was a recent Heritage Foundation event on the origin of COVID, which was rife with disinformation. Because our work is that specifically targeted, here's is just one example from the former CDC Director. Listen to clip one - Mar 8, 2023 House hearing (under oath). "I was excluded".

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
