The GOP just had its best chance to finally flip a legislative seat in Trump 2.0. Democrats had other ideas. Chasity Martinez just won a rural Trump+13 in the Louisiana House in a 24-point landslide—an overperformance of 37 points. Our complete writeup on this remarkable outcome -->

The history of Black Canadians is one of relentless progress, earned through perseverance, and carried forward by opening doors for so many to follow. This week, we celebrated 30 years of Black History Month in Canada.

Hey, weird question. Anyone look up the Justices in the Epstein files yet?

I take no pleasure in being right about this all along.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

I don't know why anyone is surprised by insane rulings in a post-Epstein Files era. The reason is obvious. If the case couldn't succeed on the merits, and it did anyway, it's not because of some insane legal thesis. Someone picked up the phone and called a judge. That's it. That's what happened.

Has anyone seen Howard Lutnick since the last Epstein drop showed he lied about everything?

Regardless of one’s feeling about it, such a public response to a political leader is news, and deliberately failing to mention it is self-censorship. It’s like if reporters agreed not to report on the man who threw a shoe at George Bush. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

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

I really hope people advocating to ban kids from SM read this. Some kids are isolated by disabilities or circumstances. Furthermore, some kids grow up in abusive households. “Ideally, a child’s exposure to online worlds should be moderated by their parents” isn’t a reassuring sentiment for everyone

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

I'm against gerrymandered districts, preferring compact regions. But Ted Cruz being totally happy with gerrymandered North Carolina, Florida, and Texas and then discovering how garbage gerrymandering is for democracy when the bazooka is pointed at his team is rich.

I mean, this was all caused by the Supreme Court deciding that representative democracy was, you know, kind of optional, so you reap what you sow.

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

No, really, @washingtonpost.com, I am the one who is sorry to see you go. Farewell to what was once my go-to, trusted news source. I'm sorry that you had to die in darkness.

Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: With the way that these files have been handled…I feel like I have to get through hours at a time, because it’s just too much. This is years. Every week there’s some big thing that interrupts the flow of my life, in a way where I feel completely paralyzed.

i love the current white house strategy of “daily undeniable evil scandals that make them look evil and insane” i think they should keep this up

I read the “SAVE Act” (the GOP’s new voter suppression bill) so you don’t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus it’s bad. 1/

Elon personally spent over $200 million pushing anti-trans rhetoric to help get Trump elected.

In an opinion dismissing Trump's attempt to get an unredacted copy of Oregon's complete voter registration list, a federal judge cites Bondi's extortion letter to Gov. Walz as support for denying the government a presumption of regularity storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

Everyone in the White House involved in any way with that vile, sickening racist Trump post must be fired immediately: everyone in the communications department, everyone in the press office, every deputy chief of staff, everyone involved up and down the line. Not one more tax dollar for this filth.

Damn. If you page through the accession numbers, it's obvious not only that there is an insane amount of censorship, including of things that plainly should not be censored, but also that many files in the sequence numbers are just... missing.

Honestly the more time you spend in the Epstein files the more plainly obvious this becomes. And not just law firms and specific lawyers inside them. Finance. Media. Scientists. University administrators. You name it, Epstein had them over for parties (and Bannon knew about it).

Team USA skier: Just because I wear the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the US.

The Italian audience's ability to rapidly switch from cheering for the American team's entrance to booing JD Vance is honestly pretty impressive. Turned on a dime, and again the moment Vance was off screen

>I open twitter >American ambassador to Poland is arguing with random Polish college students >he's threatening to withdraw all American forces

the last two Popes went out of their way to call this man an immigrant hating freak and a fake Catholic. Bless his heart for going to Italy expecting to have a normal one❤️

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.

@itsthebrandi.bsky.social Holy hell you nailed in SO hard with that JD Vance observation!!!

Federal judge: "The presumption of regularity that has previously extended to [the United States Government] that it could be taken at its word—with little doubt about its intentions and stated purposes—no longer holds." This is in a case where the Trump admin sued Oregon.

Best politician.

Yeah, keep the Epstein-Russia-Thiel connections coming. That's the real deal.

as someone who does a lot of home cooking, imma say 1: home cooking is a real skill. you're not born with it. you learn it and practice it and it is not easy. 2: people are, irrevocably, by our nature, SO FUCKING WEIRD ABOUT FOOD. food is not just calories. food is MEANING

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

-11% now. And that's *versus close*...they were down over 4% today already. Now trading under $200 for first time since early May of last year.

Going to be fun when this happens to one of OpenAI, SpaceX, or Anthropic, among others. *BLACKSTONE-BACKED LIFTOFF MOBILE IS SAID TO POSTPONE IPO

12 months ago the hyperscalers were expected to spend $300bn on capex in 2026. Now Amazon and Alphabet will spend comfortably more than that between the two of them ($375bn).

Hey, so, I don’t do civil litigation, is it generally considered good when the judge does this? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The polymeltdown in the markets is of great, great interest to me.

Canadian unemployment rate peaked and falling with previous rate cuts passing through (as we've seen in other leading advanced economies too including Australia), coming to a US labor market near you soon.

Super cool index here!

We're gonna need a three-way split gif, people.

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats. It's all there. He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players. Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

I realized that a lot of the guys who have been found in the Epstein files are probably really struggling because the guy they would have gone to for advice about being discovered in the Epstein files was JEFFREY EPSTEIN

Gentlefolk, things ARE Happening in these United States of America.
