Leaked Kash Patel Schedule Shows What He Really Got Up to at Olympics newrepublic.com/post/207032/... via @newrepublic.com

Tommy Robinson visited the US State Department today at the invite of the Trump administration. He's Britain's most prominent far-right street thug with criminal convictions for assault, violence, fraud, stalking & harassment. He was jailed in 2012 for trying to enter the US with a false passport.

I’m currently reviewing whether the last brownie was improperly eaten in a father-related scarfing, as has been alleged.

They found him. He died. Another murder by our immigration goon squads

Dr Oz: "We're announcing a 6 month national moratorium blocking all new enrollments for durable medical equipment -- prosthesis, orthotics -- supplies across the board."

Trump in his SOTU said he was going to do whatever he wanted without congressional approval as required by the Constitution. The Republican Congressmen applauded en masse. The most disgusting display of cowardly grovelling ever.

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money. In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it. Taxation without representation.

Following the Supreme Court ruling that the president cannot use emergency powers to impose tariffs, Trump pivoted to reimpose the tariffs under other legal authorities. @petereharrell.bsky.social unpacks the restrictions of the statutes and potential legal challenges that they could face.

Tim Burchett (MAGA-TN): “We can’t stand for abusing women.” Fact Check: Your president is a rapist.

A popular right-wing account that called a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes "a masterpiece" appears to be run by a White House staffer, according to records reviewed by WIRED. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

NEW: The New York Times confirms my reporting that the DOJ is withholding several FBI interviews with a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

WHISTLEBLOWER: Kash’s personal use of the FBI jet delayed investigators after the Brown U Mass shooting (H/T @atrupar.com )

It's cool how the Trump administration keeps filling roles that require the trust and respect of the American people with total cranks who no one in their right mind would even want to sit next to on a bus.

NYT confirms MS NOW: The Epstein files released by the Trump Justice Department failed to include some key materials — FBI memos summarizing interviews — related to a woman who said she had been sexually assaulted by both Trump and Epstein decades earlier, when she was a minor.

Such a surprise. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

Rubin: "On Jan. 4, Deputy AG Blanche wrote a memo instructing DOJ officials reviewing the Epstein files to flag 302 memos -- the form the FBI uses to memorialize interviews. That's the exact kind of document we reported yesterday was missing with respect to Trump's accuser."

Hey, NYT! I fixed your headline. Do better next time.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

I’m so glad they’re doing this.

I know this isn't really the point but you actually *don't* need an ID to get on an airplane. You need an ID to: - Get through a TSA checkpoint to enter the gate area (and TSA has discretion to waive that requirement) - Check a bag with the airline. That's it. No ID needed to "get on."

For tonight

Incredible that he's now at 0 support on *border security,* despite the fact that through cruelty and illegality he indeed managed to reduce border crossings to levels we haven't seen in the modern era. It shows how much the border no longer has much (if any) salience to the immigration debate.

Major update: We can confirm that DOJ scrubbed allegations of Trump abusing children from the Epstein Files. Trump approval rating tanks ahead of State of Union address as even Republicans believe he may not be up for the job. I’ll be watching the speech so you don’t have to.

Folks, @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social is doing great work on the Epstein files and DOJ's treatment of them. Follow and subscribe here: sollenbergerrc.substack.com

The U.S. women's hockey gold medal-winning team has politely declined an invitation from President Donald Trump to attend his State of the Union address on Tuesday. https://to.pbs.org/3OzPYrk

Elizabeth Warren on CNBC: "The point that no one is fighting over is that the American family paid for Donald Trump's illegal tariffs. And when you take money from people illegally, you gotta give it back."

Epstein files: DOJ may have withheld FBI interviews with Trump accuser, Rep. Garcia says

America is watching today, so every reporter covering tonight's State of Delusion should be questioning why 50+ pages related to a woman accusing Trump of sexual assault when she was a child are missing from the released files.

NEWS: The gold medal–winning U.S. Women’s Hockey Team has declined an invitation to attend Trump’s State of the Union. This comes after Trump was heard telling the men’s team he’d begrudgingly invite the women’s champions or risk impeachment.

Judge Cannon claims that she *strains* to find an example where a special counsel released a report after in indictment that did not result in a finding of guilt. Here’s one off the top of my head: Sussman, who was charged and acquitted, is mentioned 311 times in Durham’s final report.

A chunk of my post on @jbpritzker.bsky.social's very smart invoice to Trump reviews how insanely stupid these promises always were.

"It is not a coincidence that Epstein was also interested in crypto, in AI, in right-wing populism, in trad Cath extremists, and anti-trans ideology, ... Epstein gravitated toward fields and figures that rank humans, explain away cruelty, or biologize inequality."

NEWS: Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, will NOT ATTEND Trump’s State of the Union and instead participate in the People’s State of the Union hosted by MeidasTouch and MoveOn.

The top substantive skill for a Trump spokesperson is to say that Trump had done more for some group than anybody in response to literally any question. “How did his golf game go?” “Trump had some more for kids who more lawns than any president before him.”

So ICE murdered the witness, right?

Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor, writing in the conservative National Review: “These new tariffs are even more clearly illegal than Trump’s IEEPA tariffs.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

So much courage.

Don’t. Privatize. Space.

I graduated in 1989. With the newly revised 2025 job numbers, over 97% of all net job growth in my entire adult life happened under Democratic presidents. Absolutely mind-blowing.

An FBI director who *feared* public accountability would have given Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos a choice: save yourself the humiliation of failure by accepting my help in finding Savannah Guthrie's mom or I will open my own investigation and guarantee your humiliation. Patel has no such fear.

So how did Epstein get all of those girls and women from across the world to his island? Easily, he had friends in border patrol. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... #SheShed

CBP: protecting pedophiles for….Cannolis, and music gigs, from their “dear old friend” Jeffrey.

Finally, a decision from Judge Cannon on releasing Jack Smith’s report on documents case. No surprise she blocked it, but now 11th Circuit gets to decide. www.cnn.com/2026/02/23/p...

What a disgusting display of privilege. Meanwhile, investigations go on in Trump assassination plot, Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, and hundreds of other cases. Serving as FBI Director is a responsibility, not a license to party with celebrities. www.facebook.com/share/r/18Ec...

"Why aren't reporters asking whether the president has the legal right to launch another Middle Eastern war?" From my Zeteo piece/newsletter today: zeteo.com/p/an-illegal...

Things that make you go hmmm….🤨

Let them eat cake.

Why the FUCK is the director of the FUCKING FBI using YOUR TAXES to FLY TO ITALY so he can party with pro hockey players?!? In WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE is this ok?!
