Ruben Ray Martinez was shot through his driver's-side window in South Padre Island, Texas.

My colleague Julia Ainsley, who is not on this site but is a killer on the DHS beat, obtained exclusive photos of Kristi Noem's luxury jet that she needs for "deportations."

Is there any time, place, or context in which a government hanging enormous banners of the Leader’s face was not a sign of a diseased and authoritarian society? Because I certainly can’t think of one.

Kash Patel loves three things in this world a) hockey, b) pretending to be a celebrity, and c) using the FBI jet for private purposes. This is a sweet trifecta. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/how-the-fb...

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented. Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling

Have fun, buddy

BREAKING NYT: The husband of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has been barred from the department's headquarters after at least two female staff members told officials that he had sexually assaulted them, according to people familiar with the decision and a police report obtained by The Times.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

If the motherfucking KING OF ENGLAND is willing to have his own brother arrested because he's a pedo, whomever is running in the midterms and in 2028 needs to bring fire and brimstone for EVERYONE in the files. Charles himself realizes how important this is! This is not an extreme position!

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

These voters have a well-informed and extremely coherent message for Dem leaders, if they’re just willing to hear it

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

The legacy media keeps getting this wrong. Trump didn't say "nationalize the election." He said We should take over the VOTING in at least many—15 places.' The Republicans ought to nationalize the VOTING." There is a big difference.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism. There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision. Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

(6/11) Uber tracks battery life. Former exec Keith Chen noted in 2016 that users with low battery are statistically more likely to accept surge pricing. Uber says it doesn’t use that data to set prices, but the correlation remains a point of regulatory scrutiny. www.npr.org/transcripts/...

Dr. Oz emailed an invite to a Valentine's Day party in 2016 to Jeffrey Epstein. Oz appears several more times in the Epstein files, including an email sent from an account under his name to Epstein on Jan. 1, 2016, that has the subject line "Dr oz." The body of the message is completely redacted.

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

If the Dems fought in off years the way they fight 2-3 months before an election (or against progressives like Mamdani, ahem) I personally believe there are far fewer elections they would lose, even with an adversarial media environment like the one we have.

"'She is dead,'" Officer Auderer told Officer Solan, before bursting out laughing. "'No, it’s a regular person,' Officer Auderer said, adding: 'Yeah, just write a check — $11,000. She was 26, anyway. She had limited value.'"

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*) The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

Want to know the real reason property tax bills went up in Cook County? Corporate tax breaks. Companies hire property tax lawyers who donate to county politicians, then those politicians give BIG tax breaks to commercial properties. It’s pay-to-play. They get rich, you pay more.

I'm not believing this until I hear from people in the streets of MN and neither should you

This is some genuinely psycho shit...

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

so again, this is not about training. This guy was a long long longtime CBP vet. So longtime that they extended his retirement *twice*.

This is part of a pattern that is impeachable: Trump cuts previously appropriated Congressional funds, but only to states led by Democrats (California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota).

“in July 2006, just as Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal case became public, Trump called then-Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter to tell him that Epstein’s activities with teenaged girls were well known in both New York and Palm Beach.”

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

If you liked that Ring commercial finding the doggo: Now imagine instead of “Milo match” it says your name on a cop’s screen when you walk by.

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

This document appears to have been removed from the Epstein records. I wonder why. Did Woody Allen complain?

Where is Jonathan Ross? A month ago he killed Renee Good. Is he on the streets, armed and ready to take more lives? Is he in a cushy office somewhere, living a good life off the taxpayer dime. Is he at a training facility, teaching feds to step in front of cars, kill, and say they were afraid?

You non-sports fans have to understand that for people who are really into pro football, today is basically their Super Bowl

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

(CBS News) - U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said he had "limited interactions" with Jeffrey Epstein, but documents show they were in business together as recently as 2014. @cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com/news/howard-...

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved. DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

"According to sources...video and photo posts to the president’s Truth Social account go through layers of approval. Trump signs off on the content posted, but he often does not find...these clips himself...it takes a village...to create the federal government’s racist propaganda operation."

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

JUST IN: Federal prosecutors in Chicago move to dismiss charges against another defendant tied to Operation Midway Blitz. Erik Meier faced trial 3/9 for resisting a federal officer. Once the motion is granted, he will be the 16th of 32 known defendants cleared. No known convictions.

Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

Again they took away your incredibly meager healthcare and gave your money to the child-snatching squad

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan. It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash. “ICE GTFO OF MN” Minneapolis February 4, 2026

What is the charge? Making a pizza? A succulent Little Ceasars pizza?
