So MAGA Millionaire Don Huffines bought Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in Texas. They even retitled the property and changed the names of the roads to get away from the history. And—wait for it—his kid works at the White House.

Steve Pinker, a longtime darling of the establishment and the powerful, really has some interesting friends and social circles. They were fine overlooking his troubling statements against, well, the rest of us who weren't white or male. Here he is at a 2004 dinner hosted by Epstein. Of course.

So what does Massie want?

@virginiaheffernan.bsky.social: "With the Epstein files, we’re confronted with exactly what all the Edge men [...] did with the intellectual territory they seized [...] the would-be intellectuals [...] converged on nothing less than the ideology of Mein Kampf." www.thenerve.news/p/epstein-bi...

Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds. The files reveal it was something far darker Extraordinary read by @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social for the Nerve on Epstein, academia and eugenics www.thenerve.news/p/epstein-bi...

Robin Williams on Trump in 2012: And he owns all these beauty pageants. Miss America, Miss Universe. Isn't that a bit like Michael Vick owning a series of pet stores? It's a f-cking catch and release program for him. This is a man who said, 'My daughter is hot.'

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

julie k brown: The victim who was part of Epstein's plea deal was 16 years old, not 17-and-a-half -- as Mr. Dershowitz and others have contended in recent days. Let's not rewrite history. (Photo missing, but link works) www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Frank talk worth paying attention to:

The Pentagon is pushing AI companies to allow the U.S. military to use their technology for “all lawful purposes,” but Anthropic is pushing back,

SCOOP: Trump's ambassadors around the world are raising cash from companies for USA 250th-related celebrations, including a rodeo & a Christmas tree lighting at the US embassy in Singapore. “I need your money,” the US Ambassador to Singapore told execs at a dinner sponsored partly by Philip Morris.

This really is a must read on how Epstein and his eugenicist tech bro buddies took control of higher ed in furtherance of white supremacist aims. It’s a lot, but truly mandatory.

And he’s nothing more than a fascist crank who in any other timeline would never have risen beyond basic internet troll.

📄 NEW: Thomas Massie has gained a following for his dogged pursuit of Epstein transparency, but few have examined his longstanding alignment with Russia's policy agenda, and why Putin is a big winner in this exposure operation. america2.news/thomas-massi...

Massie: "The DOJ wants to say they're done w/ this Epstein document production. The problem is they've taken down documents before we were able to go over & look at unredacted versions. They took down some of the most significant ones. They can't keep those down after they've already produced them."

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG? MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

Massie: "Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."

When the U.S. House passed the SAVE Act last year, historians told us it was Congress’ worst attack on voting rights ever. Well, this week the House approved an even worse one. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The reason these people have been attacking scholars and universities is that they stand in the way of the ahistorical bullshit they need to spew in order to construct white Christian nationalism

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says India has the largest number of student users of ChatGPT worldwide.

“The U.S. is now Trumpistan,” if you buy into the signs outside the Kennedy Center or the U.S. Institute of Peace, says Jason Stanley. The philosophy professor argues Trump’s self-naming obsession amounts to a “national humiliation.” #Velshi

After running on a platform of no new foreign wars, Trump invades Venezuela, bombs Iran, threatens Greenland, threatens Canada, and threatens Mexico. Trump's claimed 'mandate' always was a joke since he received less than 50% of the votes cast, but he's doing the opposite of what he promised.

We've been saying this for over a year now, but here it is again: Americans are paying the cost of Trump's tariffs.

Every time I think that there is no level of depravity left for Trump's elite circle of MAGA insiders to sink to, someone manages to surprise me. Steve Bannon tried to get Jeffrey Epstein to help him attack the late Pope Francis. www.cnn.com/2026/02/14/w...

Marco Rubio used his speech to the Munich Security Conference to double-down on White Christian Nationalist rhetoric claiming that American culture is based exclusively on European (meaning White), Christian culture and heritage. Not one word about the culture Native Americans, Asians, or Africans.

It really is amazing how much of political punditry, *especially* elite outfits in NYC and Washington, still embrace this bizarre idea that rural spaces represent the "Real America" while metropolitan areas, where most (presumably real) Americans actually live, should be held in contempt.

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it. Seems kinda bad?

Trump insider Tom Barrack kept in regular contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years, files show www.cbsnews.com/news/tom-bar...
