Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

Breaking on MS NOW:

@alivitali.bsky.social reports the Hillary Clinton deposition has resumed, but that Clinton is asking press be allowed into the room for the rest of the deposition.

Comer said NO — despite Lauren Boebert taking photos of Clinton and giving them to a far-right activist.

Pic of Hillary Clinton: Courage is facing your accusers for 11 hours and not flinching once. Pic of DJT: Cowardice is not showing up at all.

Hillary Clinton is spot on. 🎯

“If this committee is serious about learning the truth, it would ask Trump directly *under oath* about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein Files.”

Make him testify. He is accused of raping a young girl and the DOJ is clearly covering it up!

‘They can't lose a single vote’: Republicans say a razor-thin majority has made them ‘untouchable’ A recent scandal involving Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, is testing a blunt dynamic with House Republicans: They can get away with just about anything — and leaders won’t call on them to resign.

‘They can’t lose a single vote’: Republicans say a razor-thin majority has made them ‘untouchable’

🇺🇸 🏒 Captain hilary knight : “The joke was distasteful & unfortunate— Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility… It’s a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats.”

Rep. Jonathan Jackson confirms that Mike Johnson rejected a request to have a tribute for his father Jesse Jackson in the US Capitol

Rubin: "There is at least one witness for whom 3 interviews with the FBI in in 2019 are missing [from the Epstein files]. What's the big deal? We can also confirm she is the same person who in a 2025 FBI presentation is identified as accusing Trump of a sexual assault when she was between 13 and 15"

This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

Former ICE instructor testifies that agency slashed training for new officers A former instructor for Immigration and Customs Enforcement told congressional Democrats the agency has cut “vital classes” from mandatory training for recruits.

The agency eliminated 240 hours of “vital classes” from a mandatory 580-hour training program, including instruction about the legal boundaries for the use of force, how to safely handle firearms, and the proper way to detain and arrest immigrants. wapo.st/4aS06mU

I’m so fucking proud of the Olympic gold-winning US women's hockey team for declining to attend Trump's stupid State of the Union address.

BREAKING

Former ICE agent:

On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

He did the meme

I hope John Roberts signed all his mortgage paperwork correctly

omg

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

But placing him above the law by granting immunity and letting him wiggle out of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is totally cool.

NEW: As expected, SCOTUS invalidates tariffs. Billionaires don’t like it when you mess with the markets. Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh dissent. Importers will now get refunds on costs they’ve already passed on to us, making the rich even richer.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled that Trump does NOT have the authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs — delivering a major blow to Trump’s sweeping “emergency” tariff regime.

Revealed: Epstein cultivated relationship with CBP officer, causing US investigation Guardian review of US justice department files reveals Epstein interacted with six CBP officers. The officer investigated denied any knowledge of trafficking underage girls

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

Women's Rights are Democratic Rights: The Global Authoritarian Backlash to Gender Equality, by Hillary Rodham Clinton

I can say from personal experience that Putin is threatened by strong women.

As I argue in a new piece in @foreignaffairs.com, he and his fellow autocrats have reason to fear us:

Defending women's rights and combating authoritarianism is the same fight.

Former Prince Andrew arrested following Epstein files revelations Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his birthday Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Even princes are not above the law.

Rep. Thomas Massie & I forced the release of an email showing former prince Andrew allegedly shared state information with Epstein.

On Feb 9th, I called on King Charles to investigate & answer questions.

New York Appellate Court Allows Redraw of Congressional Map to Move Forward But there’s still one wildcard that could affect the map used in the 2026 midterm elections: the U.S. Supreme Court.

🚨BREAKING: A New York Appellate Court has ruled that the state’s independent redistricting commission must draw up a new congressional map, after a court struck down* the state’s current 11th Congressional District for diluting the voting power of Black and Latino residents.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Rep. Ro Khanna Just Said :UN human rights experts just concluded the Epstein files may have "crimes against humanity." The DOJ continues a cover-up. Here's what needs to happen now:

ICE Issued Confident Announcements About Warehouse Purchases in Two States. Neither Was True. As the beleaguered agency rushes to open detention facilities across the country, it can't seem to get its own announcements right.

Much more here on ICE reversing course (and retracting their initial statements) on two proposed Trump prison camps, from the indispensible team at Project Salt Box:
