The Epstein files reveal Deepak Chopra emailing Epstein: "God is a construct. Little girls are real." That's not all he said. There's more. Chopra has turned off his comments across all social media platforms so his millions of followers don't find out. We all must expose him.

George Wallace in 1962: "I started off talking about schools and highways and prisons and taxes and I couldn't make them listen. Then I began talking about n**rs and they stomped the floor." Donald Trump in 2023⬇️

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Bondi’s DOJ exists to protect the Epstein Class.

So far this year, U.S.-domiciled investors have pulled $52 billion out of US equity products — “the most in the first eight weeks of the year since at least 2010.” 😔 @reuters.com #ByeAmerica www.reuters.com/business/buy...

In my experience as a historian of this topic, whenever a German town sent a letter to its sovereign during the Thirty Years War, it was not to welcome a garrison but along this line 'that this town has no opportunity to take in any garrison'. (Council of Stade to Christian IV, September 1626.)

Local elections matter. Our new DA not only slapped down the county’s connection to ICE, but then there’s this:

AV, Chelsea, and even a resurgent but still deeply flawed Man U will leave the door open, if Liverpool can find its attack.

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending."

One of those people that stupid people think are smart.

1. My newest Anti-Trans Legal Risk Map is here. For trans adults, Kansas is the newest "Do Not Travel" warning, only the 3rd state to achieve that warning. For youth, a change to the map increases risk to Medium in many states. Nationwide risk remains extreme. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Given how often he loses in court, when institutions capitulate to Trump it’s not because they’re afraid, it’s because they agree and were just hoping for an excuse.

Right decision, wrong motivation.

🚨BREAKING: In a decisive win for voters, the Utah Supreme Court dismissed the GOP legislature’s appeal in the state’s landmark redistricting case — clearing the way for a fairer congressional map to be used in the 2026 elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Here’s where the cryptocurrency industry stands, early into the 2026 election cycle: • $288 million: Total cryptocurrency industry spending • $221 million: Cash on hand with pro-crypto super PACs • $100 million: Additional committed funds • $3 million: Already spent by pro-crypto super PACs

The media keep telling us Trump hasn’t decided, as if it’s his legal option to decide. It’s not. Only Congress can declare war. But the media that helped Bush lie the U.S. into war on Iraq certainly won’t do their basic job and report that Trump launching a war on Iran would be egregiously criminal.

If social media giants are going to feed off Illinoisans, they ought to support them. I'm proposing a social media platform fee that will generate $200 million per year to support K-12 education.

NEW: Trump's Department of Homeland Security bought an Atlanta-area warehouse it's converting into a migrant jail. I found the LLC selling the warehouse shares a DC address with The Carlyle Group, the Baltimore Orioles new owner's private equity firm. All the pieces matter. issa new [eyeblack]:

The latest Epstein files reveal another curious link to the Kremlin. In a 2010 email exchange, former Microsoft exec Nathan Myhrvold told Epstein he hosted Putin’s wife and daughter aboard his yacht. meduza.io/en/feature/2...

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that ChatGPT conversations from the Tumbler Ridge teenager who carried out a horrific school shooting were flagged by employees at OpenAI. They raised their concerns but the company ultimately did nothing, according to the reporting. archive.is/GUweE#select...

1. He's head of the Alaska Young Republicans 2. The girl was 15; he lured to his house & got her so drunk she could barely walk. 3. Siblings told her mom who tracked her cellphone, called the cops, then entered to get her daughter. 4. Mom hit him. 5. There are at least 11 other potential victims.

Mentions of Trump during Thursday's coverage of Andrew's arrest (and the entire Epstein scandal) on: CBS: 0 NBC: 0 ABC: 1 (Trump says he's sad for fam) PBS: 1 (Same) ITV News at 10: Multiple Sky News The Wrap: Multiple CBC The National: Multiple Int'l media covers Trump; US media coddles him

Donald Trump owes American families a refund.

It remains astounding how unfaithfully the media covers Trump’s ramblings day to day. We’re a decade into this — and his rambling gets worse — and yet the coverage continues to portray his public appearances as if they’re coherent.

The Supreme Court's remarkable ruling against tariffs is another sign that Trumpist nationalism is in crisis. Tariffs and deportations are key pillars of Trumpism. Both are major fiascos. Both have caused his approval to crater. Trumpism is failing. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2068...

A reminder that the White House stacks the briefing room with zombie sycophants, then Trump calls on them. These are not actual journalist.

One of the creepiest things Trump said was that the families of the justices who voted against him should be ashamed of them. No one asked about the justices' families. Trump brought that up in a comment that has real "we know where you live" and "nice family you got there" vibes.

It's not a new observation, but I'm always struck listening to Trump cry and whine about how he's the victim, bitch and moan about how mean and unfair everyone is to him, brag endlessly about how great he is and how unfair it all is, to remember that his cult thinks he's the Peak Alpha Male

This is some eye popping crazy talk coming President Crazy. Curious how fast the NYT & others will sanewash these remarks… or will they -gasp- give readers an actual verbatim?

The US economy grew at annual rate of 1.4%. Yes, the Supreme Court might have just saved Trump. He might not know it/like it, bc he’s a psychopath who hates losing, but this was the best economic decision that was taken for him.

Trump has never said anything as critical about Vladimir Putin or any Russian war criminal as he did today about the majority on the US Supreme Court.

The EU just isn't competitive…They are missing the boat on AI…Their green adventures are just too expensive…German manufacturing is toast…🙃 Meanwhile, via the @financialtimes.com: "Investors pour record sums into European stocks" www.ft.com/content/8017...

Either a Republican or Democrat will win, those will be your choices ... but you do you and stay home and complain about the horrors when the GOP wins and keeps controls of government.

BREAKING: Trump admin issues new policy aimed at ending transgender-related care in federal prisons. "It's a really dangerous policy,” an ACLU lawyer representing trans people in federal prison suing the Trump administration tells Law Dork of the new Bureau of Prisons policy.

If Kamala Harris was president ICE wouldn’t be executing people and terrorizing cities.

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

Nailed it.

They should all have that expression.

Russia now spends more money on their dead soldiers than they do on the soldiers who are still alive and fighting in Ukraine.

Other countries investigate and arrest people in the Epstein files. The U.S. builds a government of them.

How great is Amber Glenn? After her disastrous short program, her free skate pulled her from 13th to 5th.

If Harris was president, trans prisoners would still be protected.

Hmm. The US is giving $10 billion in taxpayer dollars, not appropriated by Congress, to a fake board set up by the President and which he put himself in charge of *for life*... seems very, very illegal.

I knew somewhere this was coming. CBP was in bed with Epstein. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/u...

The Epstein/Interlochen stuff may be the sickest shit I’ve ever heard in my life. Can’t even imagine what these families, my neighbors, are going through. How can you ever make any sense of that?
