“Family man” and Republican Senator from Ohio accepted money from Epstein's co-conspirator before working to bury the files. How do these people live with themselves?

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket." The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might. More on this tomorrow.

Hard to believe the president of the United States shared a racist post just a week ago — and it’s already vanished from the headlines.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed he cut contact with Jeffrey Epstein in 2005. He lied. Maintaining contact with someone involved in such horrific abuses—and lying about it—is a moral failure, and another reason Lutnick is unfit to serve. He should resign.

The fact that some democratic governors are going to visit Trump at the White House despite all that has happened tells you a lot about the rot at the root of the party. It isn’t even about Trump being petty and inviting only Republicans. The man is a monster who literally murders Americans.

AG Keith Ellison: "The surge is contributing to violent crime. Two of the three homicides committed in Minneapolis in 2026 have come at the hands of federal immigration agents."

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

Epstein is the biggest cover up by the US government ever. Period.

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."

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

RFK, Jr. says a Harvard researcher cured schizophrenia by feeding his patient a meat-heavy keto diet. The Harvard researcher says he did not. For busy schizophrenic lovers of beef tallow, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency. She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

“But for now the best Congress can do is deny Trump’s paramilitary forces an additional $16 billion. This would at least put a dent in their already built-in growth.” www.thebulwark.com/p/good-bunny...

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.

Regulating cryptocurrencies could have a chilling effect on future criminals' ability to extort exorbitant ransoms from the families of elderly kidnapping victims.

How denouncing Bad Bunny could give Gavin Newsom a much-needed Sister Souljah moment.

Cloud computing should be a completely commoditized service where prices are always falling to costs. But it’s not for AWS (though it is for Google), because of moats. Here’s exactly how they think about that:

It’s a feature, not a flaw.

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

Congress has the power to subpoena witnesses, hold public hearings, and establish an independent commission to review the Epstein files. What remains unclear is whether lawmakers have the political will to use those tools.

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

🔴 When is America and the WORLD going to finally have the courage to say out loud, what is in plain sight?? THIS ONE is a Russian asset. A 'Manchurian Candidate'. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I mean ... There is no such President anywhere in the world, like this. 👇🏼

Trump crashes out over Bad Bunny’s halftime show

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Democracy dies in tax cuts

Wow: This appears to be a draft statement written by Ghislaine Maxwell in which she addresses allegations made against her and Prince Andrew by Virginia Giuffre. Maxwell appears to confirm that the photo is real and admits that Epstein committed crimes—contradicting her sworn testimony.

💯

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?!

We are not in this predicament because we lack evidence against Trump or the members of his administration. We have all the evidence we need. What we lack is enforcement. Without that, we remain powerless, UNTIL we decide to rise up against the dictator.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

Luke Ganger, Renee Good’s brother: “In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps ‘Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”

BREAKING: One of the tipsters from the Epstein docs that DOJ pulled down and put back up has reached out to me. I'll tell you what we know on @meidastouch.com in one hour. As always, we have receipts. Link: www.youtube.com/live/xiSmcNV...

Trump's name appears in the Epstein files A LOT. He is very much implied. Now it's time to demand accountability. Trump was always there, he participated in the heinous acts and he's lied about it. MAGA, your leader is no Christian. He is the very evil you pray to be protected from.

But remember we’re not supposed to call them the Gestapo because that is just going TOO FAR

Florida's next governor:

I’ve spent a lot of time googling stuff about Iran. Can I stop writing about Minnesota and focus on all the bad stuff the Ayatollahs are doing now?

The senators had argued Blanche’s shutdown of crypto investigations would help support drug trafficking, child exploitation and scams. Now, they say their fears have been realized: Illicit crypto activities surged in 2025, a study found.

The guy on the right is New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, photographed at the Kennedy Center premiere of “Melania.” #GoSeahawks!

Trump is credibly accused of multiple child rapes and murder. Will there be any investigation? Is he really untouchable? Or will more people have to die to protect him?

Seems like it should be a bigger story that a witness swore under penalty of perjury that Donald Trump threatened a young girl, saying she would “disappear like another 12-year-old.” The media is basically ignoring that and, if the witness is lying, why isn't the DOJ prosecuting them?

Nothing to see here, just the head of the Holocaust Educational Trust engaging in Holocaust revisionism.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.
