The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

This is a crucial tool for stealing the election: Misidentify citizens as non-citizens and demand they be struck from the voter rolls. And, of course, if the USG gets state voter data, they will have party ID among other things to more carefully target their mis-identifications.

Eight years of Jeffrey Epstein Coverage by the Miami Herald How we got here jkbjournalist.substack.com/p/eight-year...

NEW: The FBI interview implicating Trump for raping and assaulting a 14 year old took place one day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, and emails about the credible accusation came around the time Blanche visited Ghislaine Maxwell in pirson. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Because it’s not really about trying to get troops to vote Republican-that would be bad enough. It’s about conditioning the military to obey a man and not their oath to the Constitution. It’s why Hegseth & Trump were so adamant about prosecuting the 6 Dems who spoke up about it.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

“The second day they gave them tacos.” Candace Owens says the TP USA/Kid Rock halftime show (that drew far fewer eyeballs than Bad Bunny) was pre-taped with an audience paid to cheer — and, incredibly, they fed them… tacos.

Not only is this what you would do if you were trying to kill a technology and a company developing it …. it's what you would do if you were trying to kill *people*.

This video on the rise of Russ Vought is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

The volume & geographic distribution of protest nationwide during year 1 of Trump's second term was extraordinary.

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.

Yep

This is that "red line" we heard so much about at the outset of Trump's second term. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

He’s so unlikable. Add that to the fact that the MAGA base will not transfer to him. Good luck in 2028. And let’s start doing to him what they did to Kamala: “What has JD Vance actually accomplished since he’s been VP?”

Emerging from his viewing of the UNRELEASED Epstein case files at Justice Dept, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) says: "The Dept of Justice has been in a cover-up mode for months... trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug"

Jeffrey Epstein's Global Reach He had scouts and recruiters working for him all over the world. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

Writing laws in direct opposition to existing laws is like a nazi choose your own adventure timeline.

i forget who made it but it cracks me up lol

Before the charity stream began, content creators from @minnmax.com and @giantbomb.bsky.social weren't sure what number to aim for — maybe $30,000 or $50,000. Within 15 minutes, they raised $58,000 for local food pantry VEAP. Within an hour, $100,000.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead. He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #abolishice #iceout #palantir #paloalto

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

For anyone who wondered how the Germans turned a blind eye to the Holocaust, we are living through the answer. We watched it start in real time. Do you remember last October? The details slip away fast but holding onto them helps us hold onto who we are joycevance.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

PM Tusk on Epstein: it is very likely that this was a planned operation by the Russian KGB. More and more leads are pointing to suspicions that this unprecedented pedophilia scandal was co-organized by Russian intelligence services.

Routine ethnic slurs, defamation of fallen soldiers, casual insults... this is the grist of Trump diplomacy. The insults particularly target America's closest and longest-standing allies. And US media really, really doesn't want to report on them. But here's an example from Poland.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

This chart seems to suggest a striking pattern: Kevin Warsh's speeches are consistently hawkish, except when Trump is President and about to appoint a new Fed Chair. www.economist.com/finance-and-...

NEW: Last spring, Tulsi investigated Puerto Rico's voting machines for foreign interference by Maduro. This was before the raid in Fulton County, and before we had Maduro in custody. See where this is going? www.reuters.com/world/americ...

"Trump likely to lose latest fight over felony convictions" After roughly three hours of oral arguments, Judge Hellerstein seems no more likely to transfer Trump's criminal case to federal court than he was the last two times he rejected similar efforts. My recap at All Rise News buff.ly/JpC0Bge

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed? That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

Republicans are in here cosplaying as protectors of women and children, but they were silent when Renee Good was killed, willingly voted to cut SNAP, and are now sitting by as ICE rips children away from their families. Miss me with the selective outrage.

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

Incinerators?

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

NEW FOOTAGE: Protesters take over a Minneapolis Target Saturday to protest the retailer’s cooperation with ICE. This is a movement! Share so everyone is aware!

“.. Their full names were available Sunday afternoon in the Justice Department’s keyword search, along with personally identifying details that make them readily traceable, including home addresses.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

BREAKING: CBP agents who murdered Alex Pretti have been IDENTIFIED: Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Raymundo Gutierrez, 35. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Great work from the FT's John Burn-Murdoch www.ft.com/content/b474...

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing. She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

I wrote yesterday about Kevin Warsh, saying what everyone who really follows monetary debates knows: he's a bullshitter who uses big words to make incoherent arguments that always amount to stimulus for Republicans, austerity for Dems 1/ paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-bad-heir...
