The timestamp reads Feb 5, 8:31 PM UTC, and options for different time ranges (1D, 5D, 1M, etc.) appear above the chart.

Bitcoin is completely collapsing right now.

Screenshot of an X post by Congressman Robert Garcia (name truncated, 11h) stating that Marimar Martinez is a schoolteacher and U.S. citizen with no weapon or criminal record, and that a CBP officer shot her five times. The post adds that the officer later bragged about his actions in a group chat and calls the incident disgusting and shameful. Below is a video thumbnail of Garcia seated at a congressional hearing table, speaking, with other lawmakers visible in the background.

Rep. Robert Garcia shows how it's done.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

At what point does a misrepresentation become a lie?

📣 Pompous regime @sshole Bessent fails to provide any evidence that rents are falling nationwide, due to self-deportation + Trump & Temu Goebbels Stephen Miller's mass kidnapping/brutality policies.

🙄 WHOOPSIE! Rents are still rising (www.apartments.com/rent-market-...) .

VAN HOLLEN: You suggested Alex Pretti was culpable for his own killing because he had a gun he was licensed to carry. Would you like to retract that statement?

BESSENT: I would not. Would you like to express remorse over the death of Ashli Babbitt here in the Capitol?

Do they all get deported now? Is that how this works?

Gallego: "You are fully aware that the president is suing [IRS] for $10 billion…What would that be cut from?"

Bessent: "The Treasury general account."

Gallego: "So, taxpayers…If the President prevails he's going to be able to pocket that money."

Todd Blanche says the Epstein files provide no basis for criminal investigations. But as of this morning they have fueled the opening of criminal probes in the UK, France, Germany, Slovakia, Poland and Norway... and that's only the ones that have become public.

Epstein was a frequent flyer... to Moscow and St Petersburg.

This is interesting: New Mexico seems likely to pass a bill banning private ICE concentration camps in the state, despite some loss of jobs

Trump's "Golden Age for America" is as fake as the Party City decorations he taped to the walls of the Oval Office.

DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘a smear campaign’ — Guardian US Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

Of course.

DHS lied again.

Right after they murdered Renee Good, they shot a young couple in Portland.

Then lied about it.

They were *not* gang members.

And she wasn’t “involved” in a shooting, she was a victim of sexual assault.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.

American economics and capitalism help create Jeff Bezos and Amazon. As a multi-billionaire, Bezos only cares about himself and his own wealth.

Bezos will happily watch our democracy and institutions burn to the ground while he joyfully plans his next penile implant, facelift and $50B yacht.

WARNOCK: Trump said 'we're going to have a manufacturing boom.' Yes or no, have we had one?

BESSENT: There's the beginnings of a manufacturing boom. We have intentions -- factory groundbreakings


WARNOCK: Do you know how many manufacturing jobs have been lost since 'liberation day'? 72,000

Warnock to Bessent: "Manufacturers shed workers in each of the eight months after President Trump unveiled his tariffs on 'liberation day.' I would submit it's a strange liberation and a curious freedom that leaves you unemployed."

Latest Epstein files name Trump multiple times In the more than 10,000 files released Tuesday, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, said the sex trafficker was killed because he was going to name co-conspirators.

The @miamiherald.com previously reported on Mark Epstein's FBI tip accusing Trump of authorizing Jeffrey's murder.

It's real. It should be an enormous scandal and the subject of an investigation.

Utah voter roll review finds no evidence of noncitizens casting a ballot, Lt. Gov. says An ongoing Utah review of 2.1 million voter registration records has found one noncitizen who registered to vote and zero examples of any noncitizens actually voting.

Utah's chief election officer, Lt Gov Deidre Henderson, has conducted a review of the state's voter rolls to identify any ineligible voters, including by running her rolls through the DHS SAVE Program. Guess how many non-citizens voted in Utah according to the review? Zero.

Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning?

No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead.

He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.

Opinion | Trump’s Claims About Noncitizens Voting Are False. We Can Prove It.

Another case of NYT presenting fact reporting as opinion. “Playing politics with the idea of fraudulent voters and stolen elections comes at a real cost to American confidence in our elections. It’s an affront to our democracy and to all those who work to deliver free and fair elections.”
