Missed Bad Bunny’s halftime show? Want to rewatch? (4x and counting for me). The NFL posted the whole performance on YouTube: on pace for 500k views in the first 30 minutes.

Mikaela Shiffrin, the most decorated Alpine skier of all time, wrote down a full Nelson Mandela quote to read to reporters.

Apparently we're going to have to translate the fucking Epstein files into Spanish so MAGA will be forced to be angry at them

The New “Alt-Reich”: Epstein and Silicon Valley’s High-Tech War on Democracy From Eugenics to “Patchwork” Sovereignty: Inside the Intellectual Web of the Modern Broligarchy That is Connected to Jeffrey Epstein and the Trump Administration open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

This is part of a pattern that is impeachable: Trump cuts previously appropriated Congressional funds, but only to states led by Democrats (California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota).

This is the biggest cover-up in modern history. The Justice Department is protecting Trump, not the victims of Epstein and his cabal of pedophiles. Meanwhile, the UK is launching criminal investigations! www.cbsnews.com/news/ghislai...

worst Mortal Kombat roster of all time

1. Thomas Massey, Republican from Kentucky, just did an interview where he said, on camera, that the director of the FBI threatened to investigate one of his staffers for fraud if Massey did not stop pushing for the disclosure of the Epstein files.

SMH. RFK's CDC measles dashboard has a lead image of flights coming into the US from abroad -- as if other countries are to blame for our skyrocketing measles numbers. >89% of cases last year were home-grown and >92% of cases this year. This is a US problem that needs domestic solutions.

Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.

"The Epstein files release is an earthquake. Just not in Washington. The fallout in the U.S. has been in the court of public opinion. In Britain, serious repercussions." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

"The Trump tariffs amount to an average tax increase per US household of $1,000 in 2025 and $1,300 in 2026.... "The Trump tariffs are the largest US tax increase as a percent of GDP (0.54 percent for 2026) since 1993." @taxfoundation.bsky.social taxfoundation.org/research/all...

“In recent days, you may have seen viral clips of an adult man in Texas attacking a minor during a student walkout protest against Donald Trump’s ICE. Video from the scene appears to show a furious man – whose car apparently got kicked by a teen – starting to savagely beat a young girl, only…

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies. It was a "sideshow," I was told.

*Green card application in process and work permit, married to US citizen *Lived in US for 20 years, no criminal record *In detention for five months with no charge, despite judge approving release *He disputes ICE claim that he signed forms agreeing to deportation

And never forget. These are asylum seekers. This is what the USA is doing to the most vulnerable people on the planet who we promised to protect.

This story published shortly after the Post laid off the author, ace cybersecurity reporter Joe Menn, along with the majority of our colleagues on the tech team and hundreds of others across the organization. Like so many others, this was Joe's dream job, and he was very, very good at it.

Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated. I've got fresh data illustrating the point. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2062...

Striking from Marquette poll: Majorities of non-college grads and even 50% of rural Americans disapprove of ICE handling of enforcement. Majorities of both oppose deporting longtime residents with jobs/no criminal records. That's data given to me. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2062...

“Though I can’t help but wonder if maybe we could have avoided everything that’s happening with measles today had more people cared about COVID disinformation back then.” Me too bro 🫂

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

The Epstein files have confirmed what the left have been pointing out for years: white supremacist and patriarchal hierarchies built on capitalist exploitation lead to gross inequality and monsters. Billionaires pay millionaires to shape the narrative that trans people and immigrants are the enemy

'Blazing Saddles' was released on this day 52 years ago! (February 7, 1974) Directed by Mel Brooks. Starring Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Brooks, Slim Pickens, Alex Karras and David Huddleston, Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, & more. #OTD #OnThisDay #BlazingSaddles

Not only did they bring a small private army, but among the waste of taxpayer money was BRINGING A FULL PLANE OF FOOD. To *Italy*.

trump creating the incentive and permission structure for democrats to do insane 2010-era gerrymandering of their own may turn out to be one of the biggest self-owns of all time. dems are now pretty likely to emerge with an advantage from the 2025-26 redistricting wars

Israel spraying pesticide (that are banned in the EU) over south Lebanon as part of its ongoing campaign of ecocide. The goal is simple: to make sure that life itself is rendered impossible. This remains rarely reported in the news despite them doing so for years. www.instagram.com/reel/DUV2aoB...

It has been 3 years since the Premier League announced the charges against Manchester City.

Current state of Republican Party politics: The president posted an image of the first black president and First Lady as apes; no one at the White House will publicly say that is not appropriate; the most likely person to face consequences is the party’s sole black senator — for calling it “racist.”

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

It’s pretty crazy that the president and his family are just stealing billions and billions of dollars directly from taxpayers and the political media is like “It’s Trump so this isn’t a big deal, probably”

This column is getting a workout today but come on. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

If you are watching the opening ceremony on NBC, you won't hear the boos of JD Vance because NBC cut it. Corporations working to keep Americans in the dark about how unpopular their elected officials are. The White House reposted the censored clip. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Here’s a message to Republican lawmakers who enable President Donald Trump and every American who still supports him: You own the deeply racist video he posted to his social media account in the late-night hours of Feb. 5. My column on the complicity of silence:a www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

"The 'anti-woke' movement was not a genteel intellectual inquiry, made by disinterested parties who cared deeply about free speech. It is a social circle of powerful people who feel threatened by #MeToo ...the social consequences, oddly, seem to have freaked these guys out more than anything else."

Every American needs to watch this:

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

ok, whoa. the DOJ just told me that the unredacted version of the document in question contains an image of a victim’s face overlayed on the face of the Mona Lisa image. so, that's why it's redacted. jesus christ

“In 1916, hybrid cars could’ve changed history. But Ford wouldn’t allow it. Henry Ford's monopoly on the automobile industry meant that hybrids wouldn't see the light of day for decades.” www.popsci.com/technology/f...

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

The House will vote next week on one of several extreme anti-voter bills recently introduced in Congress. The so-called SAVE America Act could block over 21 million eligible citizens from voting by forcing in-person citizenship document requirements. Tell your representatives to vote NO.

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships. We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/b...

Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

CNN: "New data shows January was the lowest months for job cuts since the 2009 Great Recession...layoffs way up, hiring ways down. During the month of January, US-based employers announced just over 108,000 layoffs. That's roughly double January 2025. In fact, this is the highest since January 2009"
