Some thoughts on the founding fathers- Thomas Jefferson probably would’ve really liked Instagram. John Adams would have been a Twitter troll, you have nothing more than a biting comeback. I don’t know what social media George Washington would’ve used, but it would’ve been incredibly boring.

The Senate bill is rooted in the idea that we just need to get BP/ICE "back to" only terrorizing people we deem worthy of being terrorized, and not White people. The exact problematic understanding people have been trying to warn against... While a lot of White people insisted that concern was silly

Witold Banka says Wada will look into extraordinary claims that Olympic ski jumpers have injected acid into their penises to enhance performance

Name them shame them

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind." This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...

I know Trevor Reed, @trevorrowdyreed.bsky.social I wrote him while he was wrongfully imprisoned in Russia. His book, Retribution, is essential reading if you want to understand Russia, Ukraine, and the Americans who chose to stand up anyway. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

I thought he WANTED to fire all the feds...

Former wives of tech leaders have told a longtime journalist that they sensed something was off when they visited late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's island.

Paul Weiss capitulator Brad Karp: “Recent reporting has created a distraction and has placed a focus on me that is not in the best interests of the firm.” Um...I think it was his chummy relationship w/ pedophile Epstein, not "the reporting," that led to disgrace. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

I got in SO MUCH trouble for this hugely viral tweet back in 2018 (from MAGA types mostly) but I stand by it (and in fact at the time the Auschwitz Museum defended me when people yelled at me that Auschwitz was a “death camp” not a concentration camp). My DENTIST congratulated me for this one

@kenwhite.bsky.social Does this qualify as a binding contract?

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. You suckers

This is how Sen. Ron Wyden clues the public into activity that he finds extremely alarming. He does a press release about a letter he sent to the director of the CIA that basically says, 'I want to make sure you saw the classified letter I sent early today.' www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Exclusive: The top Democrat on a House committee overseeing U.S.-China competition has launched a probe into a $500 million investment by an Abu Dhabi royal in a Trump family cryptocurrency company.

Accountability! Brad Karp, head of Paul Weiss, steps down after Epstein revelations. More please!

1/ Federal records show how a dramatic raid in Chicago was facilitated by a landlord who was apparently concerned about immigrants squatting in the building. The government claimed a Venezuelan gang had taken over the apt complex, but that’s not what docs say. 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/chic...

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — US judge blocks immigration agents from arresting people in Oregon without warrants unless there's a risk of escape.

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

the thesis of “these dumb liberal women would disperse if they were met with violence” seems to ignore the part where two observers have in fact been shot and killed in the street, and the response has been a greater mobilization in terms of raw numbers then the New England colonies in April 1775

@booker.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov You put a provision in the DHS funding bill to stop this. That is how you legislate. Do it.

RFK, jr. is the worst person you ever met at a party in california, patel is the worst guy you ever encountered at the gym, bondi is the worst person you ever met at church, bessent is the worst person you have ever met at a conference, all these people are the worst versions of every stereotype

Striking from new Quinnipiac poll: *Voters prefer path to legalization over deportations for most undocs by 59-34. Among independents it's 61-33 *Majority says Trump on immigration is making America less safe Again, there's broad rejection of the whole project, not just ICE tactics (see below)

Good news. Talked to my diesel mechanic and he said I do not need to pay for a hugely expensive valve adjustment (8+ hours work) on my Truck. Some folks say it's needed at 150,000 miles he says no reason to do it unless the truck is making noise.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has cleared the way for California to use its new congressional map for this year’s midterm election. Voters approved it as a Democratic counterresponse to Texas’ new map, which could help Republicans win five more U.S. House seats www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

People keep saying Bezos wrecked the Post on purpose but he could have just done that if he wanted to, no need to drag it out for years. I think he and his fellow traveler billionaires have thoroughly cooked their worldview and honestly believe there is a vast, silent, ignored right wing audience

Suburban observers say ICE has only been more aggressive since Homan: “I think they’re getting angry that we’re winning and the country is rallying around us. We’re so organized and we act with such integrity. They don’t want to admit they feel threatened by us.” share.google/ei9giIFLsuEJ...

The suburban observers, heavily women, say they share a personality type. “Many of us have encountered bullies our entire lives...I think that turns you into somebody that, even if that bully is wearing full tactical gear, I'm not interested in laying down for you.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This is cool.

Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.

Whoa. Tucked into here is reporting that AUSA Ana Voss has also given her notice of resignation. Voss is a well-respected AUSA who has basically been carrying a lot of these cases by herself.

My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

I have confirmed the gist of this report out of federal court in Minnesota today from a source familiar. If you have more information about the District of Minnesota—either the court or the U.S. Attorney's Office—and how they are handling all of this, please reach out. I am at crg.32 on Signal.
