So Barri Weiss, Epstein pal, is staffing CBS News with all the other Epstein pals? Cool cool cool.

If you had said to me two days ago “Bari Weiss is in the Epstein files,” I would’ve politely smiled before backing away.

DHS leaking on Bovino now. That’s encouraging.

i can’t believe the lead nazi is antisemitic

NGL this description of Bsky in Vulture cracked me up

"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.” And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

NEW: School hallways are silent. Grandparents patrol outside in shifts. Two more kids taken from Liam Ramos' school. Trump isn't deescalating ICE at all at MN schools. “I stopped wearing my high heels to work. I wear my boots to work because I have had to run." www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Just saw Graydon Carter at JFK and desperately wanted to tell him how formative Spy was for me, and how I still have every issue in a box under my bed, and to praise him for nailing Trump from the jump. But I’m a New Yorker and we don’t bug people waiting at a gate.

Breaking MS NOW: The Trump admin is now eyeing Ohio for immigration enforcement operations that could begin as early as next week. The operation is expected to target Haitian immigrants — with temporary protected status for Haiti expiring on Feb. 3.

I love that every time I look at the feed there's another post like this

nostalgic for when news was just one new

The special agent in charge of the FBI’s Atlanta field office was forced out this month after questioning the Justice Department’s renewed push to probe Fulton County’s role in the 2020 election, two people familiar with the matter told MS NOW. READ: www.ms.now/news/atlanta...

Gonna go out on a limb and guess this scene didn’t make the documentary

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

by the way, a defendant of the stature and credibility of Don Lemon--who 100% isn't running away anywhere -would typically be permitted to answer a summons. Arresting him and putting him in jail overnight was a gratuitous indignity--which is to say part of the point of this performative indictment.

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

Breaking; Don Lemon has just been released on his own recognizance. His next court appearance: February 9.

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

🧵🧵🧵 "Melania" reviews 🧵🧵🧵 Natasha Jokic in Buzzfeed: “Last night, I left an empty chickpea can on my counter. When I came back 30 minutes later, small, black bugs had swarmed the tin … I would rather relive that moment 100 times over than have to watch another minute of the movie Melania.”

The Melania film reviews are out!

Trump’s Commerce Secretary brought his teenage kids to Epstein’s island after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with minors. The way he lists the kids’ ages is creepy af.

Listing those kids' ages like a waiter talking about the catch of the day

This new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012. Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.

would be nice if the arrest of journalists for doing journalism resulted in dems in congress saying "asbolutely fucking not" and completely shutting this shit down but ah well nevertheless

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

🚨 Since July 2025, 43 deaths tied to ICE/CBP: 35 in detention, 8 in raids or stops. Surge began post–Trump second term orders. That’s over 6/month — 5× 2024 rate.

This is the only mention of the Epstein files on Fox. No criminal or inappropriate behavior? Don’t believe your lying eyes.

Here's my Catherine O'Hara story. In 2006, I was covering the Toronto Film Festival for the first time. One of my assignments was the Christopher Guest movie "For Your Consideration…" in which O'Hara plays an actor who lets a whiff of Oscar buzz upend her life. At one point, she appears…

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

They took that page down but someone made a copy. gofile.io/d/TkHwis

the full headline is even better

I know we all make fun of their incompetence, but this is really breathtaking.

OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in. *Reads:* "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?"

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

NEW YORK (AP) - Judge rules that Luigi Mangione should not face the death penalty if convicted on federal charges in CEO's killing.

why only Pretti?? why not civil rights investigation into Good??

Remember how CNN had this guy on a couple months ago to call for civility in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder?

How come no perp walk video? I would have thought that was the primary reason for this.

Knowing this admin, it's probably trying to prove Pretti violated the agents' civil rights by getting in the way of their bullets.

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

Good luck to all the film critics competing today to write the most hilariously savage review of Melania. May the best person go viral

"A new film" "offers moments." No wonder these people need AI to write thoughts for them.

This is new
