Elon Musk and the other US billionaires finished paying 2025 Social Security tax at 12:15AM on January 1st… right after the ball dropped. The tax is capped at $176,000 in annual income. A very simple solution is staring at our faces!

I WAS RECENTLY CALLED A "TOWN CRIER..." YES I AM! 😄 Records Show Trump Commerce Secretary Entered a Business Deal With Jeffrey Epstein After Epstein’s Sex Crime Conviction. Howard Lutnick, the U.S. commerce secretary, said he cut off Jeffrey Epstein in disgust in 2005.

„Trump's Justice Department is in possession of thousands of videos of children being graped by wealthy and powerful men. Those men WERE being blackmailed by Epstein. But by not releasing their names, these men must now be loyal to Trump to protect their identities.“ Jake Broe

Trump Admin concludes Trump and friends not in any way involved in in Epstein child sex-trafficking scheme, which really wasn't even a sex-trafficking scheme, despite what everyone has said and the millions of documents and picures and survivor testimony and such. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

From the WSJ article, “Squeezed by U.S. and China, the World’s Middle Powers Are Teaming Up: Nations are increasingly seeking to bypass the bigger players on trade, supply chains and security.” My take: History suggests that Middle Powers may find it easy to agree... 1 of 3

Friend just texted me, said he saw a review of the Melania movie. "If it was an in-flight movie, people would still walk out."

We can expect no honesty, no decency, and no humanity from this Presidential administration. It will be like this until the microsecond he leaves.

We don't ignore the genocide in Ukraine because we don't know. We ignore it because we don't want the responsibility. Admitting the truth forces a choice: intervene or admit you are letting it happen. Looking away is just a way to be complicit without feeling guilty

More proof that ICE is out of control and drunk on power. This abuse of America. Citizens by ICE must stop. share.newsbreak.com/h6h4wczv

The emperor has no clothes, but like every autocrat, he demands you pretend you don’t see it.

Ukrainian Nobel Laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk has a couple of questions for MAGA Land: "Why has Trump's year of negotiations been the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion? ... Why did Putin not allow himself such brutal strikes on civilian infrastructure under Biden?"

www.thedailybeast.com/whats-tulsi-... No matter what she wants or who she agrees with, Gabbard is compromised - which is probably why trump gave her this job, she is fully under control.

THESE 👇 ARE CRIMINALS......

From @theathletic.com: Franjo von Allmen of Switzerland won the first gold medal of the 2026 Winter Olympics, in men’s downhill skiing.

Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow. How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?

We are directly arming the people killing Americans with drugs, and destabilizing an important neighbor. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

Truth.

"The aggregate effect of Trump’s Perpetual Distraction Machine is disorienting for his opponents, who often find it impossible to respond effectively to an overwhelming fusillade of provocations or to effectively shine a spotlight on Trump’s missteps."

If you’re surprised that NBC edited out the Olympic crowds boos of JD Vance, you don’t know NBC. At all.

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?! 👇 Hope so.

Trump named in explosive tip regarding Epstein’s death: ‘Authorized murder’ www.rawstory.com/jeffrey-epst... Would not surprise me since Bill Barr visited Epstein twice before he mysteriously died.

What is Tulsi Gabbard hiding? Who was the foreign intelligence agent talking to the Trump Administration and why? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The felon who wants everyone to get past the Epstein files, can't get past losing an election six years ago.

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, exploiting children, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

Schiff on Gabbard's involvement in Georgia: "All of this is intended to send a message and the message is, 'We will not tolerate or accept an election that we lose.' That's why in these budget discussions we need to make sure, among other things, that we don't have ICE agents at polling places."

This is the worst thing I've ever read. A coded diary of one of Epstein's victims where she describes being "used as an incubator", giving birth and having the baby taken away from her. Don't click if you're not ready www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

And of course, Trump is also in it. All those men should be in jail. And if they are already dead, destroy their graves.

There’s more of this in Dataset 12 on the DOJ’s site, see e.g., www.justice.gov/epstein/file... (mentioning Mar a Lago on EFTA02731369)

Leon Black is mentioned more than once, including this deciphered entry, and next to this poem with highlighted lines that tell their own story.

If you are going through these records: - steady or brace yourself - take your time - recognize if it is getting to you, then take more time to properly manage stress, toll, etc. - just know you have immense support from people around the world wanting justice for the victims. Were here for you.

It turns out that the biggest grooming gang in the world is a gang of white, rich, powerful men like Epstein, Trump, Windsor, Mandelson, Clinton, Gates, Musk and Bannon. The white, rich and powerful men who demand action against grooming gangs are strangely quiet about that.

UPDATE - Trump nominee Jeremy Carl finally gets a hearing next week in Senate Foreign Relations Committee… another White Nationalist, anti-Semitic, transphobic, xenophobic, misogynist — who has deleted thousands of tweets. @SenatorHagerty is on the committee. Will he back him?

The job market was bruising in 2025. The start of 2026 doesn't look much better.

NBC edited out JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. CBS and ABC paid millions in bogus settlements to fund Trump. CNN made Scott Jennings a rightwing star. The Washington Post laid off 300 journalists. Support independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Traitorous behavior…again

I'm willing to put even money on it going all the way to the person sitting behind the Resolute desk, whoever that may actually be or any of the stooges backing that individual........ Take your pick...... www.politicususa.com/p/trumps-inn...

The President of the United States is openly threatening to 'nationalize' elections, and it's no mistake he intentionally targeted Detroit. In Michigan, we've led the nation in expanding access to and securing our right to vote. And we won't stop now.

Less than 2 days after Trump's racist post depicting President Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes, Lindsey Graham was out golfing again with Trump & praising Trump. South Carolina can do so much better than Graham with @drannieandrews.com

We can expect no honesty, no decency, and no humanity from this Presidential administration. It will be like this until the microsecond he leaves.

Remember when we thought Sarah Palin was the dumbest person in politics Good times.
