VAN HOLLEN: You mentioned you were accompanied by nannies when you went to Epstein island. Do you know whether the nanny you had on that trip was the same nanny that Epstein expressed interest in meeting? LUTNICK: I have no idea about that whole thing

Today in interesting aircraft over Arizona: TRON21, a Gulfstream EA-37B Compass Call II operated by USAF. First one was delivered to Davis–Monthan Air Force Base in 2024 for training which is what it appears to be doing over the San Carlos Reservation. Electronic warfare plane

"yes, I did take my kids to the pedophile island, which I previously lied about publicly and you should not read into that. I mean come on guys, it's not like I LEFT them there"

The SAVE Act is a literal poll tax for married women who changed their last name.

Arizona, Please take time to look this over please know the enemy that surrounds us. Stay alert. Stay safe! But remember the entire point to tolerance is what you are unwilling to tolerate, and we are no longer willing to tolerate these hate groups.

Not sure who needs to hear this but I am sure some people need to hear it, so I’ll say it: The 2024 election was not stolen from Democrats. We just lost. The more people believe in the conspiracy, the more people are likely to give up on voting, and the more likely we are to lose. Again.

Wow! Immigrants are more important to the economy than Republicans! It’s true! www.cato.org/blog/cato-st...

Joyful resistance proves that defiance doesn't require misery. By meeting injustice with creativity and dance, we protect our spirit from burnout. It’s not just a protest; it’s a radical act of staying human. Today’s #CupOfJoe has a latte joyful resistance.

Another visual to explain this: @lalabote.bsky.social posts a daily map of ICE flight data. This was Super Bowl Sunday. See all the flights between detention hubs in Alexandria, LA, Harlingen, TX, El Paso, and Mesa, AZ?

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights. When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.

The idea of a bill rendering people deportable for following religious law should make every Jew ill

As a luge photographer, I can tell you that it's nearly impossible to not get a shot that makes a luge athlete look not great. Your best options are farther out shots (like the 1st one below) or something through a curve (other shot below) but anything to show any personality is going to look...bad.

One of my fave community notes to date…

Navarro has repeatedly (and falsely) claimed that "illegals" were taking the jobs of Americans, including in this very interview. If that's the case, then why is he now warning that job growth will slow amidst mass deportations? Shouldn't this be boom times for native-born workers?

My team @propublica.org is hiring. We're looking for a data reporter itching to do ambitious, impactful investigations that uncover abuses of power and betrayals of the public trust. Maybe that's you? grnh.se/iunysgl96us

DOJ coverup of the Epstein Files is rapidly unraveling. Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche have bet their legal careers and their freedom on getting away with operating a massive criminal conspiracy to cover up the horrors of the Epstein Files to benefit one sick demented pervert. #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

U.S. figure skater Amber Glenn says she has resolved copyright issue with a Canadian artist over her free skate music.

Lutnick acts he’s being asked whether he took out his yacht to drop off his kids or his uncountable quantity of vacation nannies with Epstein. The question is why he lied to the public about associating with Epstein.

Too few know about this

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

But now that the bridge is completed many years later and is about to open, Trump is using it in another extortion attempt.

Whoomp!!!! There it is!....

7. There is some indication that some Republicans may not be on board with another round of this cowardice. At the end of today, we may be able to say that SOME republicans are neither as stupid nor as cowardly as Mike Johnson. (Low bar, I know) punchbowl.news/article/hous...

Important to understand this - it is a nearly perfect distillation of the obsequious cowardice that is Mike Johnson’s soul. Thread:

I really appreciate Bluesky saying yo, that's all there is. Maybe go away for a bit but, if not, here's some other stuff. Much prefer this approach vs we-will-hook-you-in-as-long-as-we-can

A father - married to a U.S. citizen - picking up diapers for his kids in Kearny. That is who the Trump Administration thinks is a threat to our communities. The Soto family doesn’t deserve this cruel and heartless treatment - no one does.

VAN HOLLEN: When you visited Epstein's island, did you see anything inappropriate? LUTNICK: The only thing I saw with my wife and my children and the other couple and their children were staff who worked for Mr Epstein on that island

"A threat to anyone’s constitutional rights is a threat to us all. Today, immigrants are being detained without due process. Tomorrow, under the Government’s [view], American citizens could be subject to the same treatment. This Court will not allow such an unraveling of the Constitution."

Ukrainian athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych will be allowed to wear a black armband at the Milan Cortina Games but the International Olympic Committee says he cannot wear a helmet painted to honor Ukrainian athletes killed in the war with Russia.

Shawn Ryan: "Todd Blanche said 'It's not a crime to party with Epstein.' I'm sorry, it is a fucking crime if you're fucking minors…You're not at the Playboy Mansion, it's an island with a bunch of minors."

Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

Trump’s family is billions of dollars richer than last year. The average American family? They’re worse off. Trump’s top priority has always been himself. If he spent half as much time actually being President as he has profiting off his presidency, the story might be different.

Under the republicans, DC unemployment has jumped from 4% to 6.7% in one year. Takes talent (or a vindictive President) to do that when there’s no actual crisis.

ICE AGENTS ARE FOLLOWING OBSERVERS TO THEIR HOMES. THEY ARE DOING THE EXACT SHIT JOHNSON SAYS IS INTOLERABLE!

Europeans think all the random loot in Fallout is because of a nuclear war but America is just like that. Yesterday, I found a rocket launcher looking for my phone charger.
