Whistleblowers say Kash Patel’s personal travel delayed the FBI’s response to the Brown University shooting. While a gunman terrorized a campus, the FBI director was using a government jet like his private Uber. He’s forfeited the public’s trust. He needs to go. Now.

Here’s my takeaway from the State of the Union:

NPR reports that the DOJ has “withheld” documents that include allegations that Donald “sexually abused a minor.”

Americans don’t need a rambling, two hour lecture from Trump.

We need our money back.

He owes us:
— $1,700 in illegal tariffs per family;
— $4 billion he’s profited off the presidency;
— $1 trillion he stole in tax breaks for the ultra-rich.

Spare us the speech. Pay up or shut up.

New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had years-long business tie with sex offender The commerce secretary apparently still hasn't come clean on his connection with Epstein.

Emails and documents in the massive Epstein release not yet reported reveal that Lutnick went on to become a prominent figure in AdFin—not merely a minority investor—and that he and his company were financially interconnected with Epstein in the venture for at least six years.

What an absolute disgrace.

Is there precedent for such a thing? Taxpayers paid for this investigation. We should have access to the results.

Will the Prince Andrew arrest move the needle in the Epstein case?👑

This isn’t small scale. DHS documents show plans for more buildings to form a 2.3 million square foot detention complex that could hold 7,500 to 10,000 people, and local officials are already warning the water supply may not be adequate.

Trump should have to testify too. Read this & act: It’s time to stop protecting rich and powerful men who rape children and others who made that possible, whoever they are. Later this month, Bill and Hillary Clinton will testify on Capitol Hill. joycevance.substack.com/p/arresting-...

This is nothing new for Pam Bondi - she's been ignoring Epstein's crimes for 15 years.

We know that Trump is going to repeat the “I’ve been exonerated on Epstein” line every single day forever because that’s what he does.

Would it be totally outrageous for someone then to simply ask him who it was that exonerated him so we can get some clarification on that?

DOJ Scrubs Record of Interviews With Trump Accuser From Epstein Files The FBI interviewed one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims four times over her allegation that Donald Trump assaulted her when she was underage.

The thing you've always known to be true is: The DOJ scrubbed evidence that he's rapist and a pedophile.

can’t pay for healthcare or other basic services but we have 10 billion for a trump slush fund with a fake “board”

Will not watch a minute of @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy ever again. Was a FAITHFUL watcher for 20 years. Their corruption is disgusting.

The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...

Obama: "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous ... the sort of behavior that we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."

Resistance infrastructure.

When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

ICE Is Gearing Up to Build “Mega” Jails ICE is planning on spending $38 billion on the project.

ICE is planning to spend tens of billions of dollars on mega-prisons where the agency can disappear thousands of people.

It's $38.3 billion plan to launch a “new detention center model” would expand the agency’s detention capacity by 92,600 beds by the end of FY26.

In case you were wondering, the kitty poop guy is still a liar.

The Fulton County raid is part of Trump's total war on voting And it's disturbing that a magistrate judge signed off on it.

New in PN: The Fulton County raid is part of Trump's total war on voting

"The SAVE Act is not expected to pass the Senate, but in some ways, it doesn’t really need to. It's already served the same purpose as the raid: undermining confidence in elections by amplifying debunked lies about fraud."

How the fuck is Corey Lewandowski in any position to fire a Coast Guard pilot?

What is his title?

What is his job?

What is his official position in the US government?

If you are Kristi Noem’s boyfriend you get to fire Coast Guard officers?

He has more integrity than almost anyone. Give it a rest.

(From @andertoon.bsky.social )

The most blatantly corrupt gangster government in American history. Where are congressional Republicans on this stuff? Nowhere to be found. Vote them ALL out.

In any other administration, this would be a huge story. In this administration, it can barely get oxygen because it's buried under a daily torrent of destruction, criminality, and abuse of power. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/w...
