Ramos' parents, originally from Ecuador, were set for their asylum hearing in late Feb. DHS abruptly moved it up to THIS MORNING. They are not in the U.S. illegally and have no criminal record. DHS is simply trying to end their asylum claims.

Susan Collins is such a brave hack. She waited until the post was deleted before weighing in.

His enemies spend a lot of time attacking that Mamdani’s a “social democrat.” What makes him special, I think, is that he’s an authentically moral person with empathy. That’s sadly rare in politics these days.

I love that they think it was a single thing that happened 400 years ago. Like it hasn’t gone on since.

not to mention doing it while out of town at pre-Super Bowl festivities

Everything Trump did with Epstein happened well before he was president Which means he doesn’t receive immunity, and can potentially be prosecuted for any criminal offense he committed

Today's edition of the newsletter has already raised more than $1,400 to help communities affected by ICE pay their utility bills. If you'd like to support a good cause and Public Notice, please consider becoming a paid subscriber.

📌Go ahead and say what you want about this wretched, burnt-orange monster (please), but it's your friends and family who still support him who are to blame for this terrible, terrible mess we are in right now. Without them, there is no him.

"Meanwhile, back in Dilley, there are plenty more Liams. 'All these parents, with TVs in the rooms, they all heard stories of Liam and how he got out, so they want the same thing for their kids.'"

While coming to Trump's defense after his Truth Social account shared a clip depicting the Obamas as apes, right-wing pastor John Amanchukwu says that whoever posted it on Trump's account should be fired: "Heads should roll."

Maybe we need to take a different approach: who in this administration is *not* in the Epstein files?

@janetmillsforme.bsky.social: "Kristi Noem needs to go” After DHS failed to fully disclose the 206 people arrested in Maine during an ICE surge, Maine Governor Janet Mills is demanding the full list of detainees and calling for a complete overhaul of the agency. She joins The Weeknight to respond.

"'The pastors’ group that I’m in, we got together, and we agreed that if violence breaks out in Springfield, we have a duty to go right to the front of it and to call for peace,' he said..." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/o...

MEMPHIS: “Memphis Safe Task Force” (U.S. marshal) caught KICKING A PUPPY 😳 as they arrested a guy for on a drug warrant “He was harmless. There’s no reason he should’ve done that.” @GovBillLee this is what we’re paying $1 Million a day for?🤔 Full: wreg.com/news/video-u...

So, Trump wants Washington’s Dulles Airport renamed after him. How’s this? 😉

Elon is still claiming this morning he never went to Epstein parties despite emails showing him begging to attend Epstein parties on his island.

In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account. This contradicts Karoline Leavitt’s implication that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.

this handful of independent journalists (my former colleagues at Motherboard) do more impactful journalism than 75% of the corporate tech press on a fraction of the budget

Vance’s benefactor Peter Thiel, Epstein, and Russia’s ambassador Vitaly Churkin having an “important lunch” 1 month before the 2016 election — right before the Podesta emails were released by Wikileaks Probably nothing! 🙃🥶

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar. Why? This chart has the answer.

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...

Trump's racism should be no surprise. His company got caught committing racial housing discrimination. He spread lies about the exonerated Central Park 5. He entered politics with the racist birther lie. There's a reason Trump was once endorsed by David Duke and the KKK's newspaper.

this is very funny www.foxnews.com/media/jd-van...

After many instances of the Trump administration lying to the courts as well as flouting dozens of court orders Judges are beginning to realize that it is, in fact, a criminal organization.

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

Every time I re-read Trump v. United States, it feels like getting hit in the head with a mallet.

🏆 🏆🏆🏆

People like Donald get worse if they’re allowed to. His disgusting racism is increasingly blatant and dangerous because the Republicans, with their silence, encourage it. They are complicit in every awful thing they allow their hideous leader to do.

Boyd also called out Trump’s recent speech in Iowa, where he said Trump claimed he “just gave farmers $12 billion.” “Farmers have not received a dime of the $12 billion. And that's what the president does. He says things, and there's really no accountability.”

Black farmers are getting shut out by the Trump administration. John Boyd, president of the National Black Farmers Association, says the WH told him, they are “moving away from DEI and small farm issues, and they were focusing on large-scale white farms… because they produce the most food.”

Michelle Obama, exactly as she is. Beautiful, graceful, intelligent, and strong woman. Joy is resistance. Grace is power. #SheShed

The gall. He shot a woman who posed no threat to him and then boasted about it as he and his colleagues falsely maligned *her* reputation to cover it up. The only question should whether his texts are admitted as evidence at his criminal trial.

Just had a fabulous talk with John Sipher, one of the most experienced CIA officers of his generation. We went into the Epstein files, what they say about Epstein and Russian intelligence, how Epstein kompromat might work to influence Trump… substack.com/@phillipspob...

I had a chat yesterday with someone who said they missed the old Twitter dunks on Dinesh D'Souza and I said, eh, it was getting pretty sad toward the end and, uh

Bondi's letter to Walz gets the use I anticipated from a federal judge. This is evidence of a US attorney general attempting to extort something from state officials, criminal conduct, or nearly so.

NBC: Why was Tulsi Gabbard at a raid on a Georgia election office? Trump: “I don’t know.” Gabbard (in a letter to Congress this week): “My presence was requested by the President.” This just became a bigger scandal.

Jeff Bezos Changes Washington Post’s Slogan To ‘Love You, Babe’ After Getting Into Fight With Lauren Sánchez https://theonion.com/jeff-bezos-changes-washington-posts-slogan-to-love-you-babe-after-getting-into-fight-with-lauren-sanchez/

lol -- Trump tries to introduce the president of the Congo but forgets his name

What is needed in this pivotal juncture in our collective national story is a vocal and visible countermovement, birthed from the very same place as this widespread heresy. It needs other white Christians to stand the hell up... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/white-chri...

When our freedom to vote is undermined, entire communities can lose their say on who makes decisions on our schools, health care, and other crucial resources. The Supreme Court must uphold fair representation for Black voters — our democracy is on the line.

I got into this business because of The Washington Post. I was inspired by its Watergate coverage. It’s saddening & maddening to see what’s happening there. Bezos is ruining one of the great—though far from perfect—journalistic institutions. This wasn’t inevitable. It’s the choice of an oligarch.

I’m betting Comer will suddenly lose interest in this hearing.

BREAKING: Ed Martin was found, per CNN below, by DOJ to have violated GJ secrecy and also apparently lied about it. If the reporting is accurate, both are federal crimes. Will Martin be charged, given how quick a trigger this DOJ has re Letitia James & James Comey? edition.cnn.com/2026/02/04/p...

Meta just dropped $65 million on two super PACs trying to elect pro-Big Tech candidates. Think about that. If they invest a good chunk of cash into manipulating our politics, it could save them billions in regulation compliance and taxes. This system is so broken.

WARREN: Let me make sure I understand -- Trump is not saying affordability, what's happening to families right now, is a hoax? BESSENT: He's saying that trying to blame this administration instead of the Biden/Warren economy is a hoax
