”People speak sometimes about the 'bestial' cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky - Thread 4/5🧵

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

🚨 ICYMI: A couple of days ago, Trump heard the Cricket World Cup was on in India, and that America had a very strong cricket team... 🏏 He wished them well... probably thought they'd give him the Trophe if they won 🏆 Bet he can't name one Team member in the USA Squad!

Well, Hassett turns my stomach anyway. Lutnick or not.

English isn't native to the Americas. I don't remember Republicans wanting to investigate opera singers, K-Pop groups, or Celine Dion.

Refreshing to see criminal and journalistic investigations go forward in Norway. The scandal is meaningful and there is a meaningful response. All of us should do so well. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

👀 Must-watch: After reviewing unredacted #Epstein files at DOJ, Reps. @rokhanna.bsky.social & Thomas Massie say at least *six potentially incriminated men* remain hidden. Key FBI docs (302 forms/survivor interviews) were *already redacted*. Orig docs needed from FBI. 📺 youtu.be/CtjdQhTeIlM?...

That is correct. Since Republicans pre-funded ICE with a massive slush fund, they have given Dems no other choice but to leverage the rest of the DHS budget to get badly needed changes that a big majority of Americans want and will never get unless they take a stand now.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Ghislaine Maxwell got into jail for engaging in pedophilia and sex trafficking. Ghislaine Maxwell hopes to get out of jail by engaging in extortion. I'm beginning to get the impression that Ghislaine Maxwell enjoys criming.

This morning, Ghislaine Maxwell blanket pleaded the 5th during her deposition in the Epstein case. What’s the message? She seems to be making it clear to Donald Trump that he can buy her silence with clemency. Not on our watch. Here is the latest. ⬇️

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” “Together, we are America”

GREAT SHOW!!

BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines? DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines BASH: Oh, come on

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

But we will have to keep defending this vital project, and the thousands of workers who will deliver it, from the President's nakedly political games.

A federal court has blocked Trump’s shutdown of America's biggest critical infrastructure project - which makes sense, since he's violating legal commitments the federal government made in good faith on my watch.

Why are the comedy team of Witkoff and Kushner the lead negotiators on …. ANYTHING??? No Senate approval. No confirmation process. The only expertise these two have is the ability to enrich themselves.

#Trump Federal Chair nominee, Kevin Warsh, is in the #EpsteinFiles #Epstein This regime is going to ROB US BLIND!!!!

Interesting. Speculative & not well written, but this veteran states the obvious: As neighbor Lutkin laid on the table, Epstein's underlying biz was the blackmail in his files. His partner Piggy-in-Chief now has control of those files. It's not a leap to understand purpose for 1/2 he still conceals.

Newly released files reportedly show Epstein writing: “Ukraine upheaval should provide many opportunities.” Later, Edmond de Rothschild Group reportedly paid him $25M for “risk analysis.” One question: why was HE in the room? Follow the paper trail.

The Birther-in-Chief's disgusting history of racism has its own page on Wikipedia. See for yourself, here: shorturl.at/UQaXQ

No lies detected from @ossoff.senate.gov here 👇🏽 (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.

I found the dumbest most pathetic post on the internet today:

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

Plague of Locusts?

Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning? No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov ICE/CBP should not carry automatic weapons. Or long guns.And killings should be fully investigated. And Miller should testify, be held in contempt, and removed.

@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov NO SAVE ACT

@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov Clean up detention centers. Or close them.

@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov ALSO, NO CHILDREN!

Corporate profits have hit record highs. CEOs are paid 280x as much as a typical worker. We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid. But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SSe... This is what happens when you start buying warehouses to imprison people, deport citizens and masked and armed militia murder Americans

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

This Homan presser is completely incoherent. He started by announcing a drawdown of 700 agents (good!) but then pivoted to whining about "rhetoric" (bad) and suggested there will be more bloodshed if it doesn't stop (grim). Not clear to me that anything is actually changing on the ground here in MN.
