New York City and Illinois join WHO network after Trump pulls US out of global health body

This you, trashass?

PM Tusk on Epstein: it is very likely that this was a planned operation by the Russian KGB. More and more leads are pointing to suspicions that this unprecedented pedophilia scandal was co-organized by Russian intelligence services.

"What’s most alarming here is that Director Gabbard’s own team acknowledges there was no evidence of foreign interference, yet they seized voting machines and election data anyway," U.S. Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence panel, said. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

This is an important point. Empathy—in and of itself—is anti-fascist. The arts—and the project of higher education as a whole—teach empathy, enabling you to put yourself in other people’s shoes. So to a fascist, they must be destroyed.

🤌❤️ Legend.

This is how Sen. Ron Wyden clues the public into activity that he finds extremely alarming. He does a press release about a letter he sent to the director of the CIA that basically says, 'I want to make sure you saw the classified letter I sent early today.' www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

DC is actually being treated thoroughly as occupied territory. Tearing down monuments/media institutions, hostile takeover of its core economic engine and industry, suppression of its local municipal government and security forces

Trump: I hate even talking about ICE. 2 people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity. Host: But it was 2 Americans who died— Trump: We have the smallest trucks. We've been very tough on the waters Host: The waters? Trump: The waters where we knock out boats

Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer. Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!

Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

It's so cool how we just accept that federal accountability is dead and the president will just pardon any federal crimes as easily as he pardoned everyone for January 6, and we just live with this fact instead of tearing down the rest of the White House around him.

🚨The French offices of Elon Musk's X have been raided by the Paris prosecutor's cyber-crime unit, as part of an investigation into suspected offenses including unlawful data extraction and complicity in the possession of child pornography. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The feds respond.They say they're concerned about the release of evidence in the Broadview conspiracy case because "given the current climate, it will be very difficult to pick an unbiased jury." (Defendants say they've already agreed not to release info that would identify agents.)

This is the stuff that marks someone as a danger. Not even just that he intends to sneak back into an organizing space where he’s been told that he’s unwanted; the need to publicly brag about it, and make sure everyone knows. You cannot do collaborative work with someone who only centers himself.

Here is the original draft federal indictment of Jeffrey Epstein for sex trafficking that was prepared by federal prosecutors in 2007, but ultimately tossed aside by Alex Acosta's office to allow Epstein to plea to a much lesser state charge. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Also, he would shit his pants and no one wants to share a box with him because he stinks, literally.

NEW: Letitia James, the New York attorney general, announced that her office will deploy "legal observers" to document ICE activity in NY. Her office says the effort is the first of its kind by an AG. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/n...

BREAKING: Viewers of “Melania” Documentary Receive Call Telling Them They Will Die in 7 Days

we say this guy chases polls or the Baileys or whatever, but the reality is that he’s just misaligned with Democrats. the polling is clear that this is not what Democrats want. Chuck is an ideological, pro-cop centrist. He’s saying this because it’s his policy preference. It’s what he wants.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

ummm

Addressing Marimar Martinez, Blumenthal shows text messages from the CBP agent who shot her and says: "Charles Exum sought to assassinate you, and then DHS sought to assassinate your character. That is unconscionable and intolerable."

Garcia, up again, ends by holding up a photo of Stephen Miller and says: "There is probably no single person who has done more damage and more harm to people across this country...than this man right here. It's our job...to hold him responsible for the crimes that are happening to U.S. citizens."

Martinez ends her testimony with this: "If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

Martinez: "[I] sat in federal court and watched from 20 feet away as the border patrol agent who attempted to kill me testified at a hearing. Agent Charles Exum—Charles Exum, my attempted executioner was Charles Exum—I hope the government does not consider my use of his name here to be...doxxing."

I’m still waiting for an election denier to explain why democrats didn’t cheat in 2016 or 2024 if they did it so easily and without detection in 2020

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

I say this as a victim and as a lawyer and as a journalist and as a woman in public, no one, literally no one in power, cares about victims of sexual violence. This is why they promise women more police and prisons (allegedly to help them) while fancy men who are friends with Epstein go free.

Just your semi-annual reminder that Elizabeth Warren's entire campaign platform was ANTI-CORRUPTION.

BONJOUR TOUT LE MONDE www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Zohran Mamdani's STATEWIDE favorability rating is 48/32, with a positive rating among independents (43/31). Within New York City (via a crosstab), Mamdani's favorability rating in this poll is 68% to 20%.

Republicans mightily struggling in New York in a new Siena poll. Kathy Hochul leads GOP opponent Bruce Blakeman 54% to 28%. (She won by 6% in 2022.) Democrats have a 56/29 lead in the generic congressional ballot. (Result was 57/43 in 2024). Trump approval is 33/63. sri.siena.edu/2026/02/03/h...

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

The gall of this cretinous plonker to invoke the safety of children.

HUGE. A victory for more than a quarter million Haitians with Temporary Protected Status. A significant majority of them entered the United States legally and have never been out of status since. Even the Trump admin isn't saying Haiti is a safe country for them to go back to.

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

this is a good one storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is gonna go over GREAT. 🍿

We ALL know what the papers in that safe say about Tulsi Gabbard. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Dear Kristi Noem, Kindly shove your body cams up your ass. Fuck ICE, fuck you. Sincerely, America

Russia is conducting a major terror attack on Kyiv, Kharkiv and other Ukrainian cities at this very moment. Trump is a fool, a liar and a danger.

mass exodus from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minneapolis should tell you something about the Trump administration’s political theater approach to law enforcement. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

There are many horrible things to note here but I'm going to pull out just one: How will people in rural areas access these farkakte A.i.-based avatars WHEN THEY STILL CAN'T GET BROADBAND.
