So… let me get this straight… Howard Lutnick took his CHILDREN to Epstein Island AFTER Epstein was convicted of sex crimes AND lied to the American people about it? Time for him to go.

German Chancellor lamented Trump’s rapid reorientation of American foreign policy, saying: “The international order based on rights and rules is currently being destroyed. This order, as flawed as it has been even in its heyday, no longer exists in that form.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

Not only were the files that were supposed to be made available to Members of Congress still redacted, but we also learned that Pam Bondi has been keeping track of what Members have reviewed. Clearly, this is one big cover-up led by Pam.

"X did not respond to a request for comment, but within hours of WIRED flagging several X accounts belonging to Iranian officials, their blue checkmarks were removed. The rest of the accounts identified by TTP but not shared with X continue to display a blue checkmark."

And now we learn from NORTHCOM that DHS employed high powered lasers into an active airspace to shoot down a balloon (what the White House called a drone). Elect a clown. Get a circus. There's inept and then there's incompetence. This is the latter and a grave danger to our NatSec.

Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats made this happen. ONLY six Republicans joined them to make things less expensive.

The rot comes from the very top and attracts the very worst.

Goldman: "Will the survivors and victims who are here please stand up one more time. By show of hands, how many of you or your loved ones actually have met with the DOJ? None ... How many of you were ignored by the DOJ? All of them." (Bondi responds by smearing Goldman.)

Rep. Jamie Raskin now says Trump's name is mentioned "more than a million times" in the un-redacted version of the Epstein files that were released nearly two weeks ago. This doesn't include the other three million files that have yet to be released. A million times in the first 3.5 million files.

Bad news for Trump: These colors don’t run.

How did this happen? And how did this happen so secretly and swiftly? In docs viewed by WIRED, DHS asked GSA explicitly to disregard usual government lease procurement procedures, and even hide lease listings due to “national security concerns.”

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., was one of the first members of Congress to view the unredacted files.

Jamie Raskin...after reviewing Epstein files at DOJ: evidence suggests victims as young as 9.

They didn't search it because they were afraid what it might reveal about important people. Cover up!

This isn't "Putin controlling Trump". This just Trump and his damn narcissistic ego. New START was negotiated in 2010. Trump had nothing to do with it. And that's his problem. He wants "his name" on it. And instead of just agreeing to voluntarily extend it while working on something new, he axed it.
