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...

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

Trump Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed he had not spoken with Epstein after 2005. We now know that’s a lie. What is he hiding? He must answer our questions. tinyurl.com/w43nht5z

Mockler: The attacks on the press are attacks to make sure there's not transparency—on colleges, it's to make sure that critical thinking students aren't coming out of these colleges to debunk the administration. He attacks law firms. He attacks any single check.

Mockler: Do you agree with Kristi Noem’s characterization that she made, like an hour after Alex Pretti was murdered? Seat: Can you just wait until the investigation is done? Mockler: That's such a good point. Can you say that to Kristi Noem?

This week has been a lot. It’s overwhelming. But what is in those files the DOJ released today is a scandal of monumental proportions. People fear that it is “too big to fail.” Maybe. But Congress must act. Yes! we need all the files. But what has been released is already a four-alarm fire.

Trump claims people “are going after Kristi Noem …because she is a woman.”

The U.N. is on the verge of “imminent financial collapse,” in large part due to the failure of member states to pay their mandatory dues, its secretary general said. The United States owes the most: nearly $2.2 billion, according to an official.

This post is blowing up, so for all the big name journos sharing it, some context: This was a rally in Chicago explicitly calling for ICE to be abolished, and for a mass general strike to counter the Trump admin's continous attacks on our communities and civil liberties.

I love MN

JUST IN: Another federal judge in Minnesota says ICE violated another court order. Judge John Tunheim, a Clinton appointee, says DHS missed deadline to give him a list of refugees in the state who've been arrested in recent crackdown. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

It’s amazing to me that Musk had the sheer gall to tweet that the ‘bomb’ was that Trump is in the Epstein files knowing full well… that he was in there too. These people are astonishing. No shame. Just zero shame or self-awareness.

Major Epstein update: Survivor told FBI Ghislaine Maxwell “presented” her to Trump and made clear she was “available.” More major documents relating to Elon Musk, Howard Lutnick, Steve Bannon, and more. I have the latest. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

If you believe in American democracy, this is a very good time to stand up for the free press

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

“Melania” is filled with bleakly funny moments, such as when she recollects her triumphs in the White House—“She redid the Rose Garden (now paved over). She fixed up the bowling alley (now demolished by her husband to make room for a ballroom)”—Alexandra Petri argues.

God bless these people.

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 Bombshell allegation in the latest Epstein Files document release ... an underage girl claims she was forced to perform oral sex on Donald Trump approximately 35 years ago in New Jersey. www.tmz.com/2026/01/30/t...

@donlemonofficial.bsky.social: "There is no more important time than right now, this very moment, for a free and independent media that shines a light on the truth and holds those in power accountable. Again, I will not stop now. I will not stop ever."

Arresting journalists. Seizing ballots. Murdering protesters. Detaining children. It’s time to decide what your red line is.

Jeffrey Epstein: "trump is likely to be [asked] questions soon about me…supposedly a girl said that donal= had sex with her at my house when she was underage. =C2. she said she has a witness."

Yes, this friendly 2019 Jeffrey Epstein email exchange is about the owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft. But it's more important who it is WITH: Brad Karp, the chairman of Paul, Weiss. And Karp was still chairman when Paul, Weiss became the first law firm to cave to Trump's demands in 2025. 1/

On August 12, 2017, Heather Heyer was killed by a neo-Nazi in Charlottesville. On August 17, 2017, Noam Chomsky told the Washington Examiner that antifa was “a gift to the far right”. In between those dates he met with Jeffrey Epstein in Tuscon.

Republicans in Congress get very brave after they announce their retirement.

In 2013, Jeffrey Epstein invited Elon Musk to hang out with him and Woody Allen, of all people!, in the Caribbean. Musk said ‘Yes.’ (Per DOJ files). He has so much explaining to do.

This is creepy as hell. Will Musk be asked by reporters to explain this?

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024. If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

Jeffrey Epstein sent a link to the white nationalist podcast The Right Stuff, whose core hosts played an active role in the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally. He did so in February 2016. Before TRS made national news, really. Genuinely bizarre.

btw the civility panic a few years ago was about precisely this: the ability to have polite conversations about how black people are racially inferior in public without criticism or backlash bsky.app/profile/hann...

They said "free speech" and "academic freedom" but never believed in either and now in texas you need a permission slip to mention race in class and they're fine with it. Might not have worked if people with large platforms weren't furious about marginal increases of black people in their offices

every epstein commentary is these immensely rich/powerful/influential people raving about what a genius epstein was, and every one of his emails is just “helo, my name jomfrie”

Yesterday, Todd Blanche said that people weren't going to find in the Epstein files what we always suspected. And while I'm mostly watching what others find in the Epstein files second hand, I keep thinking, are you fucking HIGH? Everything I'm seeing is precisely what we expected.

Disgusting. In an email on Sept. 11, 2013, Mr. Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, wrote to Mr. Epstein, “It was really nice seeing you yesterday.” He added: “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

UTAH auto body shop owner: “You guys broke the fucking window to get in here! Where is your warrant??” Trump’s ICE goons: “Yes we did… We don’t need one.” 🤔 Rights are gone under this regime. (From Somali Snaps: www.instagram.com/reel/DUKpzuS...)

Thank you @robertgarcia.house.gov for your continued work for justice! THE TRUMP ADMIN MUST RELEASE ALL THE FILES!

“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

Scoop: Federal agents were told this week that they have broader power to arrest people without a warrant, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo reviewed by The New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

Elon Musk, Jeffrey Epstein and Woody Allen on a Carribean island at Christmastime? www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Whoa. This is from an FBI email with the subect "Re: Epstein - Cellmate Interview" Here are the summaries provided by the FBI agent.

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